I think that's actually very encouraging.
When we are dealing with Trump and Bernie this fact is widely overlooked by our fuckin jackass media...while they rather get soundbites like supporters saying dumb thing...the fact Bernie and Trump are self funding or getting support off small donations is quite effing amazing. But that doesn't get enough "clicks" I guess.

donald trump is not self funded. he's put in $250k, and gave him self a 0% interest loan that he'll be using donations (which he IS actively soliciting, check the donation buttons on his website, there are 2 on the front page)) and not his own money to repay that loan.
obama also got a lot of his money from small donors, he pretty much revolutionized that. i'm sure he took big money too though.
