All right DonBrain - I'll see your $46m and raise you $116m

Bernie $34.5m, Joe $22.7m, Pete $24.7m, Warren $17m+ late Dec, Yang $16.5m.

And Amy's got more where that's coming from. BTW, Our guy, President Barack Obama, raised $42m in Q4 2011, and he didn't have to bleat about being impeached, to do it.

Trump campaign credits impeachment for massive $46 million fundraising haul

Trump raised and banked the cash. The Democrats in aggregate will probably burn 80% of that cash needlessly.

Ad to which, Trump has a massive war chest: $102 M cash on hand.

...I don't know how much of that was by 4Q 2011. But all my sources say Trump is moving at a much faster fundraising pace.

To several cities the Rump campaign still owes for his stupid "rallies".
If unwilling to pay up these debts, I suppose we all will end up footing the bills in our taxes.
Oh, the Trumpers will love that little morsel of reality.
