Backed by Army of Small-Dollar Donors, Sanders Camp Forges Ahead

With another record-breaking fundraising effort in March, Sanders supporters give campaign financial muscle to take political revolution all the way to the convention in June

After his loss to Hillary Clinton in New York's Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, Bernie Sanders is facing a lot of questions—warranted or not—about what comes next for his campaign.

One thing he doesn't have to worry about: running out of cash.

<snip>

According to the New York Times, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said "the campaign planned to continue to ask questions about Mrs. Clinton's ties to Wall Street, her speeches at commercial banks, and her changing stances on policy issues. He also shot back sarcastically when asked whether Mr. Sanders might change the tone of the campaign that in recent weeks has become more contentious."

"I've seen their, I'm sure, heartfelt concerns about the tone of the campaign," Briggs told the Times of the Clinton campaign. "All I would ask them to do is look in the mirror."

in the general elections, guess what? Independents get to vote...leaving them out of the primaries makes the primaries a farce

Bernie right up to the convention (and hopefully after). I haven't spent money so well in a long time. Poor old Hillary will just have to keep spending too. That's something she never foresaw - of that I am quite certain. The cake walk that never materialized. What a pain in the ass it must be to have to deal with democracy (such as it is these days).

Plan to continue giving, nowhere near my max I can give. I've got hundreds of dollars of giving I can still do.
That is real power, the power of the people.
