Bernie Sanders's new fundraising numbers are really amazing

http://www.vox.com/2016/1/2/10701702/bernie-sanders-fundraising?ref=yfp

The Vermont senator's campaign announced on Saturday that he had raised $33.2 million in the most recent fundraising period — and $73 million for his campaign overall. This is a huge sum that ensures that his campaign won't lack for cash as the first caucuses and primaries near.

Now, Hillary Clinton did raise a good deal more than Sanders overall ($112 million to $72.8 million). But she's already spent a ton of the money she brought in — as you can see here, the $38 million she has left in the bank (her "cash on hand&quot isn't all that much higher than Sanders's $28.4 million.
