What the heck happened to the Democrats’ fundraising?

Last month Politico sounded the alarmabout the Democrats’ “looming fundraising crisis.” That struck some observers as rather odd, given all the headlines we read about how energized their base is, the unifying effect of national efforts to #RESIST Donald Trump and the well attended rallies which liberals regularly stage in the streets of many major cities. You’d think the money would be pouring in.





Not to worry, folks! The party leadership didn’t sound concerned in the least. In fact, Keith Ellison went on NBC News to promise everyone that they would have “some really good numbers” to show the public in the weeks to come. Here’s the video clip of that.



I’m not sure precisely how many “weeks to come” Ellison was talking about, but their last set of numbers are indeed “really good“… if you happen to be a Republican. Lauretta Brown at Town Hallpaints a picture which is nothing but bleak for the Party of the Donkey.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) may be in trouble, according to its latest Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing showing it raised only $4.3 million in August and is $4.1 million in debt. The Republican National Committee (RNC) did much better, raising a whopping $7.3 million in August with no debt. The DNC has raised less than half of what the RNC has raised so far this year.

RNC Finance Chairman Steve Wynn commented that the RNC’s August fundraising haul was an “unprecedented amount of support in a nonpresidential year,” saying Americans want “even more of the economic and political leadership offered by our party and the Trump administration.” So just how bad is it? Well, if you were a bank or credit union holding the mortgage on the Democrats’ house it would probably be just about time to foreclose. The RNC provided this topline chart to show where the two parties stand thus far in 2017. https://hotair.com/archives/2017/09/23/heck-happened-democrats-fundraising/ The article goes on to show to date, current totals, debt, and cash on hand for both parties. The democrats lack of funding is surprising. One would have thought them energized but so far only their money less extreme is.

 

The poor democrats can't raise any money.

 

Donors are hella stoked about their next 1.2 billion dollar campaign loss. This is the MAIN reason they push the Russia excuse so hard.

It wasn't the DNC's fault, it was Russia's. Now give us more money.

 

Meanwhile, the GOP fat cats are fed up with failure:

 

Hillary blew 1.2 billion of democrats money and got nothing.
