First, Hillary co-opted Bernie's positions on the TPP, Keystone, and DOMA. Since then she has spent much of the Democratic debates promoting the idea that she and her rivals are pretty much on the same page, so she's really just running against the Republicans. Hillary’s strategy seems to be to try and blur the lines between herself and her opponents, while subtly reinforcing the inevitability of her candidacy. But now comes a new twist: She’s trying to portray her campaign as a Sanders-style grassroots juggernaut funded mostly by small donors. Well, it's not.
Hillary rolled out this theme in the second debate, stating "I have hundreds of thousands of donors, most of them small." In the third matchup she doubled down, declaring:
I think it's important to point out that about 3% of my donations come from people in the finance and investment world. You can go to opensecrets.org and check that. I have more donations from students and teachers than I do from people associated with Wall Street.
She’s referring to a website run by the good people at the Center for Responsive Politics, who take data reported to the Federal Election Commission, break it down, and present it in user-friendly form. There's just one problem: opensecrets.org gives an account of the Clinton campaign that is almost the polar opposite of what Hillary is saying.
