Sanders promises to Federally legalize cannabis
- Thread starter Cooky
- Start date
Sanders raised over $1,500,000 in the first 24 hours after he announced his presidential campaign on April 30, 2015. This was greater than the amount raised by any of the Republican candidates in the first 24 hours after their respective announcements. By May 5, Sanders's campaign had received approximately 75,000 contributions and had raised $3,000,000. Required reports to the Federal Election Commission in July 2015 showed a total of $15,200,000 in donations to the Sanders campaign with an average donation of $31. On September 30, the New York Times reported that Sanders had raised $26,000,000 over the preceding three months, just short of Hillary Clinton's total of $28,000,000. But Clinton had held ten times as many campaign donor events as Sanders with many contributions of $2,700, the maximum amount allowed, while Sanders's contributions had mostly been under $200. Sanders raised $20,000,000 in the month of January 2016, $5,000,000 more than Clinton during the same time period, with an average donation of $27. Sanders frequently mentioned this $27 figure on the campaign trail as proof of his grassroots support, and even ran a television commercial on the subject. He also outraised Clinton in February 2016, pulling in $43.5 million to her $30 million. During March, Sanders raised $44 million from a donor base roughly twice as large as Clinton's.

That looks like support to me.
Tom, I never said he had overwhelming support, nor that he won. I said he "had quite a bit of support."
I've watched many politicians lose elections, only to go on and win later ones -- usually if they weren't totally trounced the first time. (By the way, Hitler, who eventually won, was totally trounced the first few times -- but never gave up.)

A president cannot legalize anything. It has to be done by Congress.....and we all know how that works (it doesn't)
This isn't 2015 anymore dude.
Tom
No, but I do prefer him for a variety of other reasons, such as healthcare. I am by no means a single issue voter.
That in and of itself is not enough to attract my vote, but it would be great to have a legal alternative to opioid painkillers.

I don't think that's enough for McGovern, sorry, Sanders to win an election.

I like your style.
I wish it was my own observation but I heard the article on NPR and found it compelling. The only difference the author noted was that Nixon had a high approval rating compared to Trump.

That's like promising the sun will shine next month. The legalization of pot is a fait accompli.
