The donations to Bennet indicated to Boston activist Jonathan Cohn that wealth doesn’t necessarily mean that one makes good decisions.
“The fact that 15 billionaires donated to Michael Bennet, who has zero chance of winning, is a great example of how billionaires don’t spend their money well,” Cohn tweeted.
Sanders was joined in the zero billionaires category by Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro.
A key difference between Sanders and his fellow candidates spurned by the billionaire class, in addition to being a top-tier contender for the nomination, is the Vermont senator’s dominance in small dollar funding.
