Sen. Bernie Sanders's campaign announced Sunday that it will bring in more than $20 million this month, an astonishing sum that underscores the power of its online fundraising operation.

Sanders has received more than 3.25 million contributions, including 770,000 in January, the campaign said. Because most were small sums, more than 99.9 percent of his donors have not yet reached the maximum $2,700 they can give to him in the primary. The New York Times first reported Sanders's January fundraising total.

In all, more than 1.3 million individuals have donated to the campaign, according to spokesman Michael Briggs. Hillary Clinton's campaign has said it has received donations from "hundreds of thousands" of people

1. 70% of that were small donors.

That is simply effin' amazing - without the need to max out supporters.

No wonder why HRH is running around like a headless chicken fundraising. She is simply out of money and cannot sustain a long fight. I believe she peaked too early, and let Bernie take over.
