from Democratic candidates exhibit a new
ferocity in last debate before N.H. vote by
Anne Gearan and Karen Tumulty in
The Washington Post online:
“But Sanders kept bringing the argument back to her ties to
Wall Street. Through the end of December, the financial industry had given at
least $21.4 million to support Clinton’s 2016 presidential run — more
than 10 percent of the $157.8 million amassed to back her bid,
according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings by The
Washington Post.”
Actually 136 percent more than 10 percent! Here’s
how to do the math.
If you’re a
Post subscriber, you may want to
check your bill, though the mathletes in billing are surely isolated from the
takeastabatitaletes (and don't round up 3.56 to 5, because that would be a more accurate approximation, if you're going to approximate) on the reporting side. (The math was repeated in Tom Hamburger’s
“Clinton blasts Wall Street.”)
