 WASHINGTON (AP) — John Kasich, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, the final three Republican candidates running for president, began this month with drastically different campaign fortunes, new fundraising reports show. 
  
 In one month, Cruz raised what Kasich has collected over the entire course of his longshot bid. Trump, a billionaire, has raised relatively little money as he "self-funds" his effort. 
  
 On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders outraised Hillary Clinton for the second month in a row. But the Vermont senator still started March with about half as much cash on hand as the former secretary of state. 
  
 The presidential candidates — current and former — must file their February campaign finance reports to the Federal Election Commission on Sunday, as they look ahead to the next series of nominating contests — in Arizona, Idaho and Utah on Tuesday. 
  
 What we've learned on the money front: 
  
 ___ 
  
 KASICH MONEY STRUGGLES 
  
 Kasich, the Ohio governor, had about $1.3 million in available campaign cash as this month began. 
  
 That's far less than the $8 million in cash that Cruz's campaign had on hand as of the last day of February, although millions of those dollars are under lock until the general election. 
  
 Cruz, a Texas senator, continued to lap Kasich in fundraising. His $12 million in February roughly equals Kasich's entire campaign haul, dating to last summer. 
  
 Kasich's home-state win last week convinced him to stay in the race in the hope of emerging as a "consensus candidate" during a contested convention this summer. That could be triggered if Trump does not win enough delegates in the remaining primaries. Kasich has no mathematical path for winning the nomination outright. 
  
 Both candidates also benefit from outside groups known as super PACs. Several of Cruz's boosters reported beginning March with a collective $10 million left to spend. Add to that another donor-led super PAC funded by a $10 million contribution that remained mostly intact. 
  
 Kasich's super PAC, New Day for America, reported raising $3.2 million in February and ended the month with $2.5 million cash on hand. 
  
 ___ 
  
 TRUMP DIGGING DEEPER INTO HIS POCKETS 
  
 The billionaire businessman loaned himself another $6.9 million, bringing the total amount he's loaned to himself to $24.4 million. Trump's campaign manager has said the candidate has no intention of trying to recoup the money he loans himself. 
  
 And while Trump continues to boast about self-funding his campaign, he collected about $2 million in new contributions in February, bringing his total raised this cycle to $9.5 million. 
  
 He continues to spend big on private airfare, including more than $640,000 to his own airline. And he spent $3.5 million on placed media, including Twitter and Facebook ads. 
  
 ___ 
  
 TRUMP FIGHTERS 
  
 Three billionaires supplied more than 80 percent of the cash last month for a super political action committee dedicated to derailing Donald Trump. The group is called Our Principles. 
  
 February fundraising reports show the Ricketts family — who own the Chicago Cubs and whose patriarch founded TD Ameritrade — gave another $2 million last month, adding to their earlier $3 million investment. Paul Singer, a New York hedge-fund billionaire who backed Rubio, gave $1 million, and Arkansas investment banker Warren Stephens also chipped in $1 million. 
  
 The group has reported raising $7.8 million since its inception. FEC documents show the group has spent at least $16 million attacking Trump — so far with little impact. The gap between reported income and expenditures means the majority of the donations to Our Principles arrived this month. Those donors will be disclosed next month. 
  
 ___ 
  
 GOING BROKE FOR RUBIO 
  
 Wealthy donors handed over $25 million last month to a super PAC backing then-Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio. And the candidate's official campaign had its best month yet, raising about $9.6 million. 
  
 It still wasn't enough. Rubio, a Florida senator, ended his bid after an embarrassing loss to Trump last week in his home state. 
  
 Conservative Solutions PAC raised about $58 million in support of Rubio and it attracted a surge of donors in the days after one-time rival Jeb Bush, a former Florida governor, dropped out on Feb. 20. 
  
 Poultry magnate Ronald Cameron was Conservative Solution's top donor in February, contributing $5 million. Cameron had previously given $3 million to a group backing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, also once a 2016 presidential hopeful. 
  
 The insurance executive Hank Greenberg's C. V. Starr & Company Inc. and Starr International companies gave a total of $5 million to Conservative Solutions. Last year, C.V. Starr gave $10 million to a group backing Bush. 
  
 ___ 
  
 DEMOCRATIC CASH 
  
 Sanders' campaign reported raising more than $43 million in February, outraising Clinton by about $14 million, federal fundraising reports show. 
  
 Sanders, whose online fundraising in small increments has set records, continued to draw substantial support from low-dollar donors. In February, more than 60 percent of his campaign's money came from people who had given $200 or less to federal candidates in this election cycle. 
  
 But the Vermont senator also reported spending about $41 million last month. He started March with about $17 million in cash, about half as much as Clinton's $31 million in available cash. 
  
 Clinton's supportive super PAC, Priorities USA, reported raising a little less than $5 million in February, half of its January haul. Still, the group began this month with $44 million to spend; representatives say they are preserving much of it for the general election. 
  
 The biggest donor last month to Priorities was Chicago media executive Fred Eychaner, who gave $2 million. 
  
 ___ 
  
 CARSON CASH CONTINUED 
  
 One hallmark of a failing presidential candidate is the struggle to raise money. 
  
 That's why Bush had to lend his campaign hundreds of thousands of dollars last month, fundraising documents show. And it's why New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared to end his bid owing roughly $200,000 more than he had in available cash. 
  
 Not so with political newcomer Ben Carson. 
  
 The retired neurosurgeon never won any of the early primary contests, and he suspended his campaign at the beginning of this month. Even so, in February he raised $5.7 million, and he had almost $5 million in cash at the start of March. 
  
 Carson was the top Republican fundraiser of the 2016 contest at the time he dropped out, but he also maintained above-average costs for raising that money.

 This post has been updated. 
  
 In the last weeks of his flagging presidential bid, former Florida governor Jeb Bush loaned or gave his campaign nearly $407,000 as it struggled to pay its bills. 
  
 New Federal Election Commission filings show that Bush's campaign spent $3.6 million last month before he dropped out Feb. 20 — raising just $1.18 million in the same period. A large share of the money came from the candidate himself, who gave his campaign $56,983.50 on Feb. 1. The next day, he loaned the campaign $250,000. And on Feb. 16, four days before the South Carolina primary, he gave an additional $100,000.

 While Bush's campaign was running out of cash, his allied super PAC still had ample resources. Right to Rise USA raised just under $179,000 in February but still ended the month with $16 million left of its $119 million haul, according to the group's latest FEC report. Bush and his advisers had initially believed that having a well-stocked super PAC would be one of his greatest assets. He spent the first half of last year raising large sums for Right to Rise, all while maintaining that he had not yet decided whether to jump in the race. But the super PAC's wealth could not overcome the lack of enthusiasm in the GOP base for the former governor. 
  
 In all, since beginning his run last year, the former governor put nearly $800,000 of his personal funds into his White House bid, raising $35 million in total. He ended February with $465,000 in the bank but $452,000 in debt. Among those still owed money was U.S. Safety & Security ($56,021), ATX Air Services ($23,821) and IT consultant Yuma Services ($13,341). 
  
 Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said in a statement that he "remains incredibly grateful for the tremendous support and enthusiasm his candidacy generated, including contributions received from individuals in all 50 states and Washington DC." |||||

Wealthy donors handed over $25 million last month to a super PAC backing Marco Rubio. And his campaign had its best month yet, raising about $9.6 million, though it still wasn't enough to prevent an embarrassing loss to Trump in Florida and keep his campaign alive. Jeb Bush spent $3.6 million before dropping out on Feb. 20, but he raised just $1.18 million over the month, including around $400,000 that he loaned to his own campaign, the Washington Post reports. Bush-allied super PAC Right to Rise raised $119 million over the course of the race and finished February with $16 million of it. Chris Christie raised about $420,000 in February. The Republican suspended his campaign Feb. 9, after the New Hampshire primary. His campaign ended with roughly $200,000 more in debt than available cash. Ben Carson, who dropped out at the beginning of March, raised $5.7 million in February and had almost $5 million in cash when he exited. He was the top GOP fundraiser of the 2016 contest at the time he dropped out, but he also maintained above-average costs for raising that money.

Clinton's super PAC, Priorities USA, raised a little less than $5 million in February, half its January haul. Still, the group began this month with $44 million to spend and plans to save much of it for the general election.
