no other group even doubled theirs. sanders shows dollars instead of percentages and not factoring in taxes that redistribute wealth already. >> it's a system held in place by corrupt politics where billionaires buy elections. >> yes, there's big money on both sides of elections. it would be more fair to say banks and rich people pour money into elections. if they could buy the election, there'll be no bernie sanders campaign. >> my campaign is powered by small contributions. >> this is probably true. we can tell you the clinton campaign doesn't dispute it. the number of small donors coming from the sanders campaign itself. donors who give less than $200 don't have to be listed. small donors made up 72% of his

increasing and we do have a high wind watch for many areas west of i-25 above 7500 feet with gusts in excess of 50 and 60 miles per hour. low humidity values create high fire danger with a fire weather watch out just south and east of denver as well. wind advisories in effect west of the continental divide and there may be areas of blowing snow on i-70. cloud shield increasing in storm. to shift. for us. moisture increasing across california, nevada and the pacific northwest. and we have very little in the way of moisture here in colorado between now and the weekend. we're on the fringe of cold air. and we'll see southeast winds push temperatures into the lower 70s tomorrow. we have the northwest flow bringing high and mid-level clouds in and then we get a

and that will bring showers to the plateau. and lower elevations stay dry. lows 20, 30s for the mountains, and 30s and 40s for lower elevations. and low 70s for denver, greeley, and fort collins. and close to 80 on the far southeastern plains. high fire danger, something we'll be talking about along with the wind. windy west of town. and the lows 38. temperatures jump quickly. and a windy, warm day with 65 by lunchtime and low 70s in the afternoon. and a record high for tomorrow is 71. a little bit of a cooling trend heading into the weekend. burns it to monday. and monday and tuesday look cooler with temperatures in the 40s. clearing skies. beautiful scene coming in out

i'll just put it at that. and hopefully, they love and respect me enough to keep me here and offer a good amount of dollars for me to stay. i definitely feel like i put myself in a position where i'm not just seen as a special teams guy. a safety who can make plays. i feel like i'm in a great position to just to see what happens in free agency and see what happens if the broncos are interested. >> the broncos backfield might be in serious motion this off season. not only are they expected to change starting qbs but only one of two running-backs is expected to return. >> cj anderson, possibly a free agent like morris with the washington redskins. he played for mike shanahan in that same system.

and he would help the broncos. i do think it's possible that the broncos take a running-back in the first or second round of the draft. running-backs you like to go with young legs and you like to rotate them every four or five years. cj anderson is a nice piece to have solidified. >> you didn't mention ronnie hillman. >> he's a free agent. i do think he'll command a little bit of money, the type of money the broncos do not want to pay. it needs to be winter by saturday in lower downtown when the university of denver and colorado college meet at coors field. and one unseasonably warm week later. the avalanche and red wings face off in the stadium series.
