Related: About this forumFinal Ad Spending in Indiana: Bernie- 1.6 million to Hillary- $0
Looks like Bernie is spending through his cash at a high burn rate. Hillary has clearly shifted her focus to the General Election and wisely saving up her cash. If Bernie doesn't win Indiana with a 15%+ margin it would be pretty embarrassing. He's outspending her in Indiana by huge amounts.
This is where I got the numbers from https://twitter.com/NYTnickc/status/727550090219556864

(22,913 posts)That Bernie actually became a significant challenger for the Democratic nomination for President was a wondrous thing and huge added bonus to this electoral season as far as I was always concerned. But when he first announced what pleased me most was knowing that Bernie would be traveling across this nation with his strong progressive message. Having Bernie be able to deliver his message on radio and TV into tens of millions of households - now including those in Indiana, to me is simply wonderful.

(30,481 posts)Time for the only career politician running on the democratic side to drop out. Sanders and Weaver were hoping they could be a Trump but they simply ended up losing. Losing bad. Time to pack it in before Weaver, Sanders Cheney to Bush, opens his mouth again. They are literally attempting to subvert the will of the people. Extremely republican tactic.

(11,175 posts)The limit is $2,700 per election. A primary, a runoff, and a general election are separate elections. In the presidential race, the whole quest for the nomination is considered one election, with a cumulative limit of $2,700 -- i.e., a 1%er can't give $2,700 per state.
A notable comparison between the two Democratic campaigns is that Clinton has received a much higher percentage of her total contributions from donors who've maxed out. They can max out again for the general election (assuming that she declines the federal funding and the spending limits that come with it). If Lloyd Blankfein has given her $5,400, no, she can't save it all for the general election. His maximum contribution to her general-election fund is still $2,700 no matter how much she does or doesn't spend in May and June.

(11,175 posts)AFAIK, all of the Bernie ads are paid for by Bernie's campaign, with money subject to the normal limits. By contrast, Clinton supporters who've given the legal maximum to her campaign can then give huge additional amounts to her SuperPAC (or perhaps to one of her SuperPACs -- I think she has more than one).
Your link doesn't address this point. Given that Clinton has multimillion-dollar SuperPAC backing, it would be surprising to me if none of that money found its way into Indiana advertising.
