Sanders campaign was SHOCKED when field narrowed, because they really thought 30% would win it
SNIP//
It certainly wasn’t money that did Bernie Sanders in. In February—the first month of contests, Sanders raised $47 million and spent $45 million. Meanwhile, Joe Biden raised $18 million and spent $13 million—proving yet again, that money isn’t everything in politics.
But how does a campaign that claims to have the largest grassroots army at its disposal, and to have raised more money than any other candidate in the field (not counting Michael Bloomberg, who had just a single donor to his campaign) fail so spectacularly? By truly running a campaign for its 30% supporters.

But beside that, it’s clear as always that this was never a campaign built to expand beyond its core base. You can see it in their excuse for losing.
To recap, the campaign decided early on that it wasn’t going to try and expand its support beyond its core base. “Sanders aides believe, he’ll easily win enough delegates to put him into contention at the convention. They say they don’t need him to get more than 30 percent to make that happen.” The assumption was that the field would remain fragmented.
It was a stupid assumption for lots of reasons But it was their bet, and they were shocked (SHOCKED!) when it didn’t pay out. “In the view of some Sanders advisers, the candidate’s abrupt decline was a result of unforeseeable and highly unlikely events—most of all, the sudden withdrawal of two major candidates, Senator Amy Klobuchar and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who instantly threw their support to Mr. Biden and helped spur a rapid coalescing of moderate support behind his campaign,” the Times wrote. “Mr. Sanders had been ‘on the brink of winning,’ Mr. Tulchin argued, ‘until the most unprecedented event in the history of presidential primaries occurred.’”

Retweeted! Excellent question from the Rude Mechanical
BS Lost and he spent 3x More $$$$ than Joe Biden to do it.
And he spent nearly as much: Burning through $45 million -- or more than three times the $13.1 million spent by Biden's camp in February
It Boggles my freaking mind!
What's To "ASSESS"?..
Sanders said this week he still was assessing the state of his campaign after the string of Biden victories had effectively closed his path to the Democratic presidential nomination.
Thank you for the article, George.. somebody had to do a write on this phenomenal difference in the cash flow.. and who WON sometimes with spending No Money!
