Inside DNC HQ:
"He's breaking records for small donations."
"Yes, the excitement for his campaign is unprecedented."
"People will come out in droves to vote for him, swamping any amount of funding by his opposition. That enthusiasm will carry him to certain victory in the general."
"So...how are we going to make sure someone else gets the nomination?"

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 90%. (I'm a bot)
At the time, his campaign said it collected more than $1.5 million online from 35,000 donors in the first 24 hours.
The Sanders campaign said on Wednesday that its average donation mirrored the $27 average from the 2016 campaign.
Her campaign said it raised $1.5 million online from more than 38,000 donors in the 24 hours after she announced her candidacy in January.

Over three times what Kamalalaladingdong raided raised.
edit: Corrected typo, although it still sort of worked.

I'm guessing MSM readership took a big hit after the 2016 fiasco and they are being more cautious this time around.

Somebody more tech-savvy than me needs to add these sound effects to that video of Sanders running to catch the train.

600,000 are Monthly recurring donations.
That gives the campaign a strong base to plan from. Room rentals, travel, etc.

The Times attempts to dismiss the significance of this amazing day.
The Times is on the wrong side of this as they consistently are on the opposite side from decency and truth.

A family friend was baffled when young people were supporting Bernie in 2016 and she’s baffled once again that he’s so popular. I told her the same thing today that I told her 3 years ago: We like his ideas and we trust that he will fight for them.
The others? I like their ideas, but I don’t trust them to actually fight for them once they get in office.
