USA TODAY
The March numbers bring Sanders' total fundraising during the first quarter of the year to nearly $109 million. More than 97% of that money was raised online, campaign officials said in a new release.



Sanders big haul comes of the heels of his three lopsided wins over Hillary Clinton in Alaska, Washington state and Hawaii last weekend.
Sanders raises record-breaking $44M in March


People are getting to know Bernie and liking his 'reputation' and his message!

He should use that money to pay people to vote for him, especially in the Northeast/mid-Atlantic primaries coming up, because he needs to beat Hillary 66% to 33% in those (which won't happen, I know)!

Nope, you are including superdelegates, and the corporate media wont tell people that they havent voted yet. Instead they are shaping public opinion by deceiving their viewers.

He is already leading Clinton in pledged delegates outside the South and the South was frontloaded in this primary season, which benefited the other candidate.

The south? Well Florida Ohio North Carolina Virginia were the 4 closest swing states in 2012 election and Hillary carried all handily
you forgot about the primary vs caucus factor

21 Primary contests - Hillary Clinton +371 delegates
14 Caucus contests - Bernie Sanders +143 delegates

You know what my next sentence is.... Caucuses have tiny electorates.

As an Independent voter, I'd strongly urge more Democrats to support Bernie. His poll numbers against potential Republican candidates are better than Hillary and the guy is honest, passionate and actually likeable, which is the complete opposite of Hillary! Hell, I might even be persuaded to support and vote for Bernie, but I'd never in a million years vote for Hillary.

If he raised 44 billion dollars, it wouldn't make a difference. Hillary had the nomination years ago for her support of Obama.

Unless she gets what is due her, "big house", she will be the nominee. Both Trump and Sanders, being outside the box have been hit so hard. I just can't believe that we are supposed to have fair elections because I am just not seeing it.

Hillary and whatever is behind her would do ANYTHING to be elected as POTUS. And, we all know what "ANYTHING" means when it comes to the Clintons.

Bernie needs to be trying to defeat her instead of Trump. This going after Trump when he should be focusing on Hillary makes him look like a "shill" for Hillary.

I do wonder if it is his campaign hiring protesters. I would like to think that would be something that he would disapprove of although we all know that the Super Pacs can't seem to be controlled.

Sad, They say money can't buy love or a Democratic Nominee for President.
