April fundraising

[dspNY]

Politico and CNN tweeted that Sanders' April fundraising was $26 million (well off from the $46 million he raised in March).

Nothing from Hillary or the Repubs yet

He spent wayyy more than that. 7m on NY paid media alone.

Parents got wind of where their kids were spending their college money and took away the credit cards.

This should be stickied I believe.

My guess is that he has 5 million CoH, max

Sending my #thoughts and #prayers to Tad Devine!

Jeff Weaver's gotta feel a tad ripped off - he's only earning around $100k while Tad Devine is raking in MILLIONS from this campaign.

It's only fair considering Devine doesn't constantly make an ass of himself.

[Mehmentum]

Clinton outraises Sanders. 26.4 million for the Clinton campaign itself.  9.5 million for the DNC/State Democratic Parties.

Excellent! And she's actually spending her bucks wisely, so she'll be chock full of cash to face off against The Donald! Beautiful!

@PatrickSvitek: Just in — @TedCruz’s campaign raised $10.9M in April, spent $10.3M and had $9.4M cash on hand, per new filing: https://t.co/QblOsmNxH3

That's more than Bernie had at April 30.  Cruz dropped out a few days later.

Pretty impressive fundraising for Cruz.  He raised almost $90 million in total.  His Super PACs still had $20 million in the bank.

@PatrickSvitek: The amount of money left in the bank by the main pro-Cruz super PACs as of April 30, per today's filings: $20,542,861

Kinda goes against the adage that campaigns don't end, they just run out of money.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton nearly matched each other in fundraising last month, but the Sanders campaign continues to spend money at a rapid rate, leaving him with little in reserves to carry through the remainder of the Democratic primary, according to financial disclosures filed Friday.

Sanders was down to $5.8 million in the bank by the end of April, showing the heavy toll that Wisconsin, New York and other April primaries took on the campaign's finances. Clinton, by contrast, closed the month with $30 million on hand.



I guess that's why he and his minions had that temper tantrum. It's the end of the line for the Sanders campaign gravy train and grifters like Weaver and Devine will be forced to return to their day jobs.

I don't see any filings yet on the FEC site. They should be here:
http://docquery.fec.gov/pres/  
(they would be called 'May Monthly')

Maybe reports are being leaked to the press? Today is the deadline so they should be on that site by midnight (four hours from now). Even the campaigns that have suspended should be submitting reports.

Are the reports usually posted by midnight?

[Likely Voter]

usually the reports start showing up on the last day, so by this time you should see at least the reports from the suspended campaigns (who don't care about news cycle).  I find it hard to imagine none have submitted by now, so maybe the FEC isn't updating on that page or is just delaying. But for years that page has always been updated pretty much in real time with every report up by midnight.

For some reason the reports are not  posted at the usual place but you can find them here.

Bernie down to less than $6 mil COH.  Hillary $30 mill. I guess no need to be frugal when you don't have to worry about the General.

[Ebsy]

The Bernie 2016 April filing is a wealth of tidbits:

Ads bought through Old Towne Media LLC (Abar and Hutton): $17,305,445
Sanders online presence through Revolution Messaging: $3,660,459

$6,415 to Uber for transport, despite Sanders' stated "wealth of problems" with the company.

$184,891 to Verizon Wireless despite Sanders joining their workers on the picket line before the New York Primary.

The CoH numbers at the end of April are most important:

Clinton: 30.1M CoH, most of which will be saved for the general
Sanders: 5.8M CoH

LOL

[Likely Voter]

In 2012 Johnson was able to raise 2.2m and also got 0.5m in federal funds. One would assume he can at least match that by the end this time. Some of that NeverTrump money has to go somewhere and they aren't going to field a candidate.
