Sanders raises $1.4 million in four hours after debate
Washington Post - The presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said it raised $1.3 million Tuesday in the four hours after the Democratic debate began... A Sanders solicitation e-mailed to supporters while the debate was still going on included a video of the moment and seeks donations “before Bernie steps off the stage.”

Is he still running?
I looked at the Washington Post this morning and only saw mentions of Hilary Clinton.
Many of the folks running Bernie's campaign were once associated with Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign. The e-mail solicitations for cash were a regular and tedious fixture of that operation.
Old habits die hard, or some folks are just slow to get the message.
The obsessions for cash became irksome and annoying. That, compounded by any real indication of efforts by the campaign to actually mobilize and direct the gullible 'grassroots' into an effective popular force soured a lot folks on the idea of sticking with Dean. Bernie's handlers ought to pay heed, but it is unlikely they will. Why should they? Once the Bern is burned out they'll all seamlessly morph into the Clinton 2016 machine, as pretty planned.
What's the point of the campaign if not to win? Pushing Clinton to adopt stands she will only abandon faster than Donald Trump can tweet a broadside? Sanders won't challenge Hillary on her weakest point - her character, or lack thereof. Which is only manifested daily with her desperate flip flops trying to corral his progressive voters.
The idea that Sanders would provide cover for Hillary at that moment, when at the very moment an investigation by the FBI is pending - says volumes about Sanders' real intentions in this campaign. He is not in it to win it.
The recent revelation that the Clinton email server was set up for remote access using the notoriously vulnerable Microsoft Remote Desktop software is the most telling indication yet that the server was intended to be a DIGITAL DEAD DROP - so that classified documents could be easily accessed by foreign governments or others in return for cash or other favors given to the Clinton Foundation. All designed to be virtually untraceable, and it was almost - save for the ill-fated Benghazi Commission.
This is Clinton campaign cash scandal II - 20 years later. If it will ever get fully revealed is the question. But the dots are all there to connect.
Well now, this starts to get amusing. The Washington Post puts in their two bits:

Notable is this:"Earlier Wednesday, Clinton picked up the endorsement of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades."
And just what is it about the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades that piques our interest?---They're clients of Revolution Messaging, the same DC mercenary ad firm that astro-turfs
for Bill & Melinda Gates, Cargill, Walmart, Cargill, the DCC, and...wait for it, Bernie Sanders.

So, what's the deal here? Are Bernie's folks really naive in thinking trusting these guys to do right by Bernie when they have so moany long term interests elsewhere? Or, nobody's fooling anybody, here, and the game is just all show biz with all the insiders giving the appropriate winks and nods?
Either way, it does speak or bode well for the once respected senator from Vermont.
We recently once again watched Frank Capra's Mr Smith Goes To Washington. Can't help but to reflect upon the character portrayed by Claude Rains, Senator Joseph Paine---a stalwart champion of the people turned 'pragmatist' champion of the people.
and on it continues...
