Sen. Sanders breaks New Ground in Fundraising, 44 Million March Donation

Bernie Sanders’s $44 million March donation intake has broken new ground for online political fundraising and for a candidate running well behind in a presidential nominating contest.

His record-breaking sums come in spite of the fact that Sanders relies on small-dollar donors instead of well-financed millionaires and associated super-PACs and does not have a traditional finance team.

He has managed to raise these sums while being nearly 300 pledged delegates behind Clinton and more than 700 behind if superdelegates -- party leaders who can choose whichever candidate they want – are counted.
