Nearly everything you need to know about the candidates in this election is contained in this table of their top donors*, compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Although he’s long since dropped out of the race, I include Ron Paul for purposes of comparison:

University of California $927,568 Microsoft Corp $680,769 Google Inc $661,996 Harvard University $535,405 US Government $528,603

Goldman Sachs $965,140 Bank of America $844,734 Morgan Stanley $768,216 JPMorgan Chase & Co $749,918 Credit Suisse Group $588,841

US Army $115,458 US Navy $92,350 US Air Force $90,611 Google Inc $42,478 US Dept of Defense $39,500

Enough said.

*As the Center for Responsive Politics explains, the “organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations’ PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals’ immediate families.”
