The Hillary campaign is far better at managing resources and money then the Bernie campaign

Both campaigns have raised about the same amount so far but...

the Bernie campaign began this month with about 5.8 million on hand.

Compare that to the Hillary campaign which began this month with about 30 million on hand.

http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00575795/1073673/

The Bernie campaign has spent far more with much less to show for it.

He surrounds himself with amateurs. You can't win like that.

6. The Hillary campaign actually manages resources. The Bernie campaign fills the coffers of Tad Devine

They're not attempting to manage resources. They're getting rich quick while the back bench senator takes a bunch of revolutionaries on a ride off of a cliff.

Unfortunately for him, the FEC and the rest of the real world don't accept Bernie math.

He wouldn't be out of cash if his campaign hadn't been so ineptly managed. Some of the decisions being made by long-time political operatives like Devine border on the delusional.

But then, as many have said, Devine's priority could very well be his bank account over his candidate.
