Sanders has a million donors

Political Wire - Sen. Bernie Sanders said his campaign reached its goal of one million individual online contributions, the Wall Street Journal reports. “He is the first candidate of the 2016 campaign to announce it had reached this number – and he reached it faster than President Obama did in 2008 and 2012. The Sanders campaign has touted its goal of hitting one million online donations by tonight’s deadline to spur more individuals to donate.”

But he's hoping for 320 million more.

And the political mercenaries at Revolution Messaging couldn't be happier given that a sizable portion of those funds will end up in their own bank accounts as fees for services rendered.
Great deal that, they get to cut it all ways.
Check out their public relations client list and you'll find nearly every one of the usual suspects. They astroturf on the one hand for Bill & Melinda Gates, Walmart, Monsanto, Cargill, and many more of the same ilk, and then on the other hand they're managing the campaign of that upstart 'socialist' Bernie Sanders---what can go wrong with that kind of portfolio?
So, when you read about Bernie endorsing bio-ethanol as a sustainable alternative fuel, for instance, please try to convince yourself that it is not an episode of cognitive disonance.
