Sanders raised nearly 26 million in April

His campaign said after April, it has received 7.4 million total contributions from 2.4 million individual donors, totaling $210 million.

It pointed out that his nearly $26 million April haul topped Clinton's $21 million in March. Clinton has not yet released her April numbers.

"What our campaign is doing is bringing millions of Americans into the political process," said Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, in a statement accompanying a news release announcing the April numbers.

Clinton News Network and The New Shillary Times may want to spin this another way, but these are remarkable numbers.

Big cheerleader for invading Iraq. They are enormously culpable in the WMD deception that led to the destruction of Iraq. Oh I mean our big business opportunity. In the news just now showing off their gift of freedom

Actually thanks for the link...I was able to add several to my "Make DU a much more fun place, by using Full Ignore" list.

I was SO close to getting in on April...but...looked at my ActBlue receipt today...donation received at 12:01AM Eastern, May 1, 2016!

Maybe I was the first!

I only have two people on ignore, but i did trash the HRC group and eventually her name (I've been her for years and have never had to do that ). And since I subscribe to this group, I still see posts made here with her name.

Congrats on your May donation!

...the über concern over the monies raised and how they are spent are top priority for some.
