End of Quarter Moneybomb

Could be. They started the ticker on "2015-12-26 00:00:00". That's an hourly average of 3121.15. At that rate we'll hit ~458,809.35 at 3am.

We cleared about $3121.15 in the last 10 minutes, I think it's safe to say that the rate of intake has increased dramatically for both yesterday and today.

Some rough guess-work:

100 donations of $2500
3600 donations of $50
total = $430,000
average = $116

^^^something like that could account for it

100 x $2500 donations could be the fruits of a couple big money dinners.

...maybe organized by our new sugar daddy.

Political donations aren't tax deductible, and I don't think the primary cycle ends until the nomination is selected at the convention (will have to make sure of that).

Some states may offer a tax incentive.

Here in OR there is a $50 (single) or $100 (couple) annual tax credit on State Income Tax for political contributions

I have given way way too much money to six different campaigns in the last 6 weeks. . I still have one more local candidate to give to, but I'm kinda licking my wounds here.

Did the same. That is the most rep I've doled out since 2012...

My understanding is that PA does not offer any deductions for political contributions, only for non-profits, which is the same as the Federal government. Pennsylvania's entire state constitution was reworded in its 2nd draft to 100% mirror the federal one following the enactment of the U.S. constitution to the point of being identical as well, largely because the 1st draft was seen to be far too divergent from the federal one.

Looking like one of the better moneybombs of the campaign so far. I predict he will pull in roughly $300,000 by Dec. 31

This money bomb really makes me remember the last go around
