Is there any news on how Bernie's fundraising is doing?

Haven't seen anything in the news. Given that it's critical to his campaign, I'm wondering if it's increased, stable or declining in the final week before Super Tuesday.

When he almost won in IA and won in NH we were deluged with stories of his fundraising prowess. Now, there are a paucity of such stories. It doesn't take a MENSA member to make the correct inference.

Please ask him to ensure the Dodgers or Mets win the next World Series. I don't want to be too pushy.

Thank you in advance.

May not be how donations are doing, but it does give insight into whether a campaign is cash strapped.

Numbers as of Feb 20 (Nevada).

There is a reason Sanders has tamped down his advertising spend. He burned through a lot of cash by Nevada and needs to regrow the coffers.
