Hillary raised 37M for the quarter; 112M for the year. Not including

additional funds she raised for the party and other Democrats.

Has Bernie been raising money for other Democrats? Because no Democratic President will succeed was well as s/he should unless we take back Congress.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign said Friday it raised $37 million in the past three months and more than $112 million in all of 2015 to support her bid for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton's team also said she raised $18 million for the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties nationwide in the fourth quarter, putting her total haul for the past three months at $55 million. The fundraising for the DNC and state parties is aimed at helping Clinton in the general election should she win her party's nomination.

Clinton's fourth-quarter amount exceeded the $28 million she raised in the three months that ended Sept. 30. Heading into the January sprint toward the leadoff Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1, Clinton's campaign said it has nearly $38 million in cash on hand.

"Thanks to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have joined together and powered this historic campaign, we are now heading into Iowa and New Hampshire with the resources we need to be successful," campaign manager Robby Mook said in a statement. Clinton's campaign had set a goal of $100 million for the primary in 2015.

1. Clinton's raised $18m for Dems, Sanders' raised $0. What that tells us about their campaigns?

2. At this stage of the game, not much. nt

3. It certainly is interesting, and a very impressive number for Hillary's campaign.

Considering all the boastful posts around here regarding Bernie's donation totals, I would have expected his total to be more competitive ... or at least something higher than zero.

4. A strong focus on Congress is going to be an essential

for the general election campaign. We absolutely must regain a majority in the Senate. We also need to make inroads in the House and work toward establishing a majority there no later than 2020. That's going to take considerable money spent in campaigns for candidates who can flip seats.

Hillary Clinton will be more capable of helping to raise these funds than Sanders will be, I believe. In any case, if we elect a Democratic President, but leave Congress in Republican hands, we'll just get more of the same obstructionism that has limited President Obama's ability to generate and pass progressive legislation.

Our system limits the power of Presidents. We need Congress on our side.
