CONCLUSION/ Based on an index of fundraising and polling (see embedded tweet) the current tiers are:
1ST TIER
Biden, then Sanders, then Warren tied with Buttigieg, the Harris, then O'Rourke.
2ND TIER
Booker, then Klobuchar.
3RD/4TH TIERS
{16 candidates}

NOTE/ This data helps explain why the wall-to-wall negative news coverage taking a misleading snapshot of the O'Rourke campaign over just the last few weeks is gravely misleading; by the same token, the positive press for the Castro campaign is not reflective of the data we have.
NOTE2/ I say this with no animus toward Castro, in fact the opposite: I like him very much. I'm just noting that O'Rourke is positioned much better than Castro at the moment, but is being portrayed as flailing, whereas Castro has received good press but is in fact treading water.
NOTE3/ For maybe the hundredth time, I don't support or endorse any of the Democratic candidates at this point. I like about a dozen of them very much. What I am and will keep doing is what I always do: pointing out crappy and misleading media coverage that sets false narratives.
