Convincing a populous of people that you can run their government is an expensive affair.

Far less per donor. Sanders has the highest number of donors than any candidate ever in the history of the US at this point

Maybe I'm reacting irrationally but the types of businesses and organizations donating the most to Clinton are anything but reassuring
