Bernie Sanders’ campaign raised more than $42 million in February, the campaign announced on Tuesday.

Funds flowed in from 1.4 million contributions, averaging $30 each, despite the drubbing Sanders endured in South Carolina last week. By midnight on Monday, the campaign had more than doubled the totals earned by either Democratic candidate in January.

Clinton has not yet released her fundraising totals for February. But last month, Sanders pulled ahead of Clinton for the first time, raising $20 million to her $15 million.

From the start of the nomination race up until the end of January, Clinton nearly doubled Sanders’ fundraising total, netting $188 million to Sanders’ $96.3 million, according to their Federal Election Commission filings in February. Even subtracting Clinton’s super PAC contributions—which Sanders, as a point of pride, does not have—the frontrunner out-earned Sanders by more than $35 million.

1. And Bernie has been very good at managing his campaign money. This will go far.

Go get em Bernie!

2. And it's small money donations so he can go back to them for more!

4. I can't wait to see what the March total will be.

3. Now, if he can find a way to translate that money into black and Hispanic votes

he might be onto something. Yesterday's deficit in black and Hispanic votes suggests that Bernie is not improving with those demographics despite his millions.

5. Bernie has the Latino vote out west.

6. Anecdotal evidence is just that.

Hillary beat Sanders comfortably with the Hispanic vote yesterday that included states all over the country. In Texas alone, a mirror of Arizona, Hillary beat Sanders with the Hispanic vote by a 42% margin. Keep in mind, Bernie has to do better than match Hillary going forward. He must outpace her to close his delegate deficits. ACTUAL RESULTS show his odds as being very long.

7. I'll bet this makes HRC livid!

Wouldn't it be ironic if it ended up somehow that the one advantage she couldn't get around was his money from us? That would be such poetic justice.
