2. I predict an increase in DU posts fundraising for Bernie.

3. Totally predictable. This is how campaigns end.nt

4. And so it begins ...

... the end is near.

5. Fewer people want to donate to a losing campaign...

Maybe that's why he had to lay off so many staff.

6. Meh. Bernie Sanders is still the 2016 presidential campaign fundraising champ

March: Sanders $46M, Hillary $26M


Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders continues to dominate the fundraising race during the presidential primaries, bringing in close to $46 million in March alone, according to the most recent data available from the Federal Election Commission. That one-month haul means in the first quarter of 2016, Sanders has collected a total of $110,751,553 for his direct campaign committee — by far the most in the field.

As the InsideGov visualization shows, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raised about $71 million in the first three months of 2016. In March, she brought in over $26.8 million.

10. Failing?

Ha! The only one who fails is the millions who will never vote for Hillary in a GE.
In your little bubble of the Dem party world, Hillary has 55% of the vote. Open those primaries up and we see who wins when people are allowed to exercise their rights.

America sees Hillary as untrustworthy, FACT.
Neither candidate will have the amount of delegates required entering the convention.

11. Barnie is gonna drop out and Hillary win the GE. You realise that, right?

[pinebox]

12. Hahahah you realize that the FBI is conducting an investigation, right?

And you THINK America is going to elect someone who they see as corrupt?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
But it's ok, support your candidate whom most of America can't stand and fights for the rights of the 1%. We get it. You think she's entitled and that it's "her turn".

13. Not that meme again. You guys are almost as good as the GOP with the memes.

Coming second in a two horse race and hoping for the lead horse to break a leg, still makes you the slower horse. We don't need a slow president.

15. Chortled my coffee!

Thanks for that!--Wide awake now!

8. He's had so many problems with FEC regulations over the last 4 months...

who knows, it may some sort of accounting sleight of hand.

14. We are beginning to find out how creative Jane Sanders can be with numbers

...so who knows, but I do believe Bernie has raised a ton before it has started to head South.

At the same time he has spent more than any other candidate by huge margins. He easily doubles the spending of the Clinton campaign on ads, but his other expenditures are enormous, too. In short--he spends like a multi-billionaire and is still losing. He has also had the largest amount of outside money spent (more than any other candidate), both through his super Pac, and a Republican one to attack Hillary Clinton so that he can win against her.

I will bet Bernie's campaign finances, both fund-raising and spending records, will stand as an example for many years to come. With all this talk about Citizen's United, the money Bernie has spent to influence the election is second to none.
