to direct that funding at defeating Trump by any and all means. That translates into less dollars for Hillary Clinton's opponent at this stage.

I'll be watching to see what his fundraising haul will be in March now that he's lost Super Tuesday BIG TIME. We'll see after March 15th how well his fundraising haul will be.

Still, the fact that he's out-raised Hillary Clinton by nearly $10 million in February 2016 alone, and the fact that his campaign won't answer the NYTs when they asked how much cash they had on hand, tells me there's trouble in paradise. The Clinton campaign had no problem answering ($31 million COH). Why does the Sanders campaign?
