That would only be about 500 donations, by my calculations. AT 50 people per bus, that would be about 10 buses? Is that correct?

And if they get $2000 per plate and about $100K per bus, where do they get this BS that the average donation to the Repub Party is like something under $100 per donation from average Americans? Excuse me if I'm a little skeptical....

1. One donates $999,000, and 9,999 donate $1.
And you have an average of $100.

2. I believe they do get more small donations than Democrats
However I believe they get more large donations also. Republicans have more disposable income than Liberals do. Money is way more important to a Republican than it is to a Liberal so they end up having more. I also think they feel if they donate one hundred dollars they will get back five hundred in some bullshit benefit. They are probably correct in that belief. I believe all will answer for their deeds at some time or another.

4. They are using the word "average" in place of "mean" or "median."
