Sanders' fundraising down.

This fact has been published here, but I'm not sure this good article has. Apologies for redundancy.

Clinton's campaign took in a total of $36 million in April, of which $9.5 million went to the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising operation between the campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and state parties. Of that total, $26.4 million of the $36 million went to the Clinton campaign itself, which enters May with $30 million on hand.

By comparison, Sanders' team on Sunday reported raising $25.8 million in April, a steep drop from its $44 million total in March.

Are spending their campaign into the poor house. This is how all campaigns end. The spending dries up and the red ink starts to flow.

can afford on average donation of $27 apiece is an abuse of those hard working people. There must be a lot of $1 donations since we see just from the FEC reports some are donating more than the $2700 apiece, He does not fool me.

even how much he owes his vendors. What do you want to bet that his plea to the superdelegates would've sounded even more ludicrous had his current finances been known?
