1. Clinton has her corporate buddies and SuperPacs.

2. Roh roh, looks like the Bernie-ites will be having to hold some cake sales to raise cash for debt

[polly7]

6. Or cultivate some mega rich corporation friends ....

he can 'pay them back' later, of course, once he wins.

10. Dean-ocrats raised money to pay off Howard Dean's campaign debts in 2004

If Bernie needs more money to pay off campaign debts, I'll gladly donate.

I will NEVER give HRC any of my money.

4. Don't concern yourself with Bernie, we have his back..n/t

5. Bernie raised more!

Bernie spent more because he gets no FREE media attention.

Off to make another donation. Thanks for the updates!

7. Its amazing that Bernie did all that without taking a nickel from any

Corporation or Wall Street banks.

Everyone said it couldn't be done.

8. Those numbers say a lot more @ media coverage than anything

It takes a staggering amount of $$ to go from 4% name recognition to serious national presidential contender against the likes of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Bernie hasn’t had the free air time that Trump has been given.

Personally I'm thrilled he's using it to get the message out.

[Larkspur]

9. We did not give money to Bernie to stash under his mattress

it's not surprising that an insurgent candidate will have a high burn rate.
The advantage of being the chosen one of the Establishment is that it can supplement you campaign needs and PR machiine.

What is astonishing is that Bernie has lasted this long without the aide of corrupt corporations and has won contests against HRC. That is what infuriates HRC and her minions.

11. Check out how Trump is squeezing Hillary.

She's in trouble.

Better spend some $, old gal.

12. Ugly numbers for Bernie...

On April 1, Bernie had 1043 pledged delegates.
On April 30, Bernie had 1372 pledged delegates.

In April he won 329 pledged delegates.
Cost per delegate won for Bernie was $117,333.59



Similarly, Hillary spent $23,864,888.95 in April:
http://docquery.fec.gov/pres/2016/M5/C00575795.html

On April 1, Hillary had 1261 pledged delegates
On April 30, Hillary had 1663 pledged delegates.

In April, she won 402 pledged delegates.
Cost per delegate won for Hillary was $59,365.40

Which is a bit more than half of what Bernie spent per delegate won in April.



On April 1, Hillary's delegate lead was +218 (1261 to 1043)
On April 30, Hillary's delegate lead was +291 (1663 to 1372)


Bernie spent $38 million in April and fell 73 delegates further behind.
