$14.9 mil cash is from outside groups.
$32 mil is in her campaign
Cash on Hand $32,995,172 + $14,938,881 = $47,934,053 Total cash that Opensecrets tallies
That cash from outside groups is for the cause of electing Hillary Clinton president

Bernie has $27 mil cash in that column

So what do we think is the more important financial statistic -
a) that Clinton had $48 mil to Bernies $27 mil in cash at that point in time.
or
b) that a Super PAC of nurses shows spending a few thousand dollars more on Bernie than his super PACs have because the Super PACs have not filed all their financial info.
