Introducing a new terminology: Cinderella candidates of the Democratic Party.

In further updating of the header of the post below the term struck as proper: including Rob Quist back in his Montana efforts against reporter-body-slammer Greg Ginaforte (who was/is/will continue to wealthy and beloved by the beltway Republicans, especially Trump's Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke of Montana). Surely Rob Quist and Randy Bryce do not immediately conjure up the Cinderella story; but they are the non-wealthy, non-big donor, non-beltway connected ones, without moneyed friends and associates and connections, but with a will to truly serve the people.

In turn the people have to discover a glass slipper, recognize its meaning, and respond appropriately by sending little contribution amounts in droves. Big reform will be stymied by Big Money; as surely as an eastern sunrise and not a western one. If you want people represented, the people need to mobilize their small cash contributions wisely, behind the Cinderella candidate(s) of their choice.

As a suggestion, make each donation a multiple of $27 - as large a multiple as you can conveniently afford. Each such payment will resonate to the good of the good candidates.

Remember it is how Paul Wellstone started in his Green Bus touring; not impoverished as a university professor, but not able to have won without small donor love.

SO: DO IT.
