    Yes, that is a lot. It beats Sanders who had $5.9M in 24 hours. But Robert has not released the number of donations. Sander had 233,000. So I am betting Robert had more donations from rich big wigs than Sanders or he would be bragging about that number as well. 

    But in either case, a good day for Robert Francis O'Rourke.

    Thank you m2c. I have no idea of scale or timing when it comes to things like that. I appreciate the info. As for Beto I'm not sure but I think he also said he would not accept big corporation contributions. I could be wrong about that! :)

    I know that is what he said. But there is only one reason not to release the number of donors. That is because Sanders beat his number.

    Oh. I did not know he refused to release the numbers. Thanks.
