June 15, 2016July 3, 2016 Buck Banks

I’m not often critical of the media, but I am this year. And it’s driven mostly by television, and ratings. They never really vetted Bernie Sanders, and to this day have not vetted Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton? Oh my God. No human being in history has been more vetted.

Surprise! Clinton has Raised More Money from Women than Trump Has

June 13, 2016 Buck Banks

53%

Percentage of campaign contributions Hillary Clinton has received in contributions of more than $200 from women, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows, while the comparable figure for Trump is 28 percent. The divide is nearly twice what it was in 2012, when President Barack Obama raised 44 percent of his funds from women versus former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s 28 percent. Clinton has raised $74 million from women who gave more than $200 — almost $10 million more than she’s raised from men in the same category. That’s far more than Trump, who has done little in the way of broad fundraising and has received just $688,640 from women giving more than $200.
