Record numbers feel the Bern

Bernie Sanders may be a long-shot to enter the White House, but the Jewish Democratic candidate has rival Hillary Clinton, and US President Barack Obama, beat in at least one category: Making it drizzle.

Politico reports that Sanders has set the record for most individual donations in a non-election year, topping Obama’s 2,209,636 donations set in 2011, according to a campaign announcement Saturday night.

At an average of $25 per donation, though, Sanders still isn’t quite making it rain like Clinton in the overall money race.
