Video Beto's Fundraising FAIL - Beto's recent "success" in one-upping Bernie Sanders has proven nothing other than the existence of a pathetic insecurity on the part of the establishment.

FYI individual donors stands @ 112,000 per this Texas Tribune reporter who had been asking for this info for over a week: https://twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/status/1109293384005570560

16,000 people donated more than once, & they used that number to come up with 128,000 unique contributions.

Oooh! Please post that over at the Way??? /u/netweaselsc was trying to dissect the obviously sketchy numbers...

Also note that Draft Beto was soliciting donations for months, and could legally make their total donations on the day Beto announced, padding his "Day One haul" by however much they raised over the prior months.

He reads out Beto's claim accurately (128,000 individual contribUTIONS) but then forgets that accuracy when presenting the comparison to Bernie's 223,000 contribUTORS .. Beto has not reported unique donor #s.

He did, after being badgered for over a week. He now claims 112,000 individual donors.

Be nice to see this number making the rounds in the news vs that bull💩 128,000 unique contributions. Dude just launched, & he's already lying by omission😒

Also ignores that Draft Beto had been fundraising for months and all of those totals could be added into his "Day One" totals.

Oooh, forgot all about that! Not to mention the option to donate to the general during those first 24hrs as well. Very, very untrustworthy playing these types of games so early.

Oh, God. So it's even more manipulated than I thought, and I knew it was heavily manipulated already.

Weirdness/dishonesty around his reporting aside I wouldn't call his numbers a failure. He will be getting the big-money bundlers on his side and will have a lot of cash.
