Time to use math to burst bubbles........
Donations surging by 1000% isn't a sign of massive support. It's a sign of having roughly zero donations beforehand.
"Since Tuesday morning, the Green Party has received over $80,000 in contributions, over half of which comes from first-time donors, and half of which comes in the form of contributions under $50. Tellingly, about 615 of those contributions totalled $27"
hmmm let's do some math. 80,000 is a surge of 1000%? That means their typical day beforehand was below $8,000. LOL.
hmmm let's do some more math 615 * 27 = 16605... That's suspiciously already making up a significant portion of the total donations... because it's really not very much. I mean when 615 people contributing not very much adds up to more than double what you were typically bringing in before, that says a lot.
Since half of the contributions were under $50, we can assume the average is somewhere in the order of magnitude near $50...
if the average is $50 then she received donations from somewhere around 1600 people in a day.
Assuming Bernie Sanders' claim of an average of $27 donation is correct, and he brought in $222,191,776 as of June 27, 2016 according to the FEC, then here's some math. This assumes no repeat donations from a single person, which is probably false but whatever.
Bernie received donations from around 8,229,325 people. Probably way less because high donations are much higher than $27. The real number is probably closer to half that, maybe even lower. So I'll be super conservative to be kind to Jill Stein in this comparison and say 4 million people. The amount of time Bernie's campaign had to raise that money was from April 30, 2015 to June 27, 2016. That's 425 days.
4 million people donating over the course of 425 days is an average of 9411 people donating per day.
In other terms, if he raised $222,191,776 over 425 days, he raised an average of $522,804 per day that he was running.
So basically on Jill Stein's best ever day where she got her "massive" Bernie bump, she brought in around 15% of an AVERAGE day for Bernie with those donations coming from somewhere around 17% as many people as Bernie had in an AVERAGE day.
And that bump is going to fade in a week at best. Then she'll be back to bringing in 10-20k per day, which is just not enough to do anything when you consider the election is in about 100 days. She'd raise by then, including what she's done so far, maybe $2.5 million at most? That's 5 days of average Bernie fundraising.
What a bump.
