Bernie Sanders Raised More Money Than Hillary Clinton In February..It was the second month in a row



Sanders raised $43.5 million in the month, compared with Clinton, who raised $30.1 million.

The U.S. senator from Vermont has amassed much of his fundraising haul from online donations driven by supporters contributing small amounts of money.

While Sanders raised more than Clinton, he also spent more than the former secretary of state. At the end of February, Sanders had $17.2 million in cash remaining, the Post said. Clinton had $31 million, according to her campaign.

And Hillary has the advantage of thirty years in the spotlight. Where she has a disadvantage is that a lot of that attention has been negative and she has record high negatives as a result.

The word is out now that the press has decided that Bernie is no longer viable and abandoned coverage-what there was of it. That means he will have to spend even more.

So we will have to keep sending more.

By the way, did I mention Hillary's negative ratings, closing in on Trump's?

I plan on donating frequently until the convention, and I'm sure a gazillion others will be doing the same.

He's doing great, I can't believe his stamina!
