Breaking News: RNC dominates DNC in fundraising!
Ok, perhaps this isn’t breaking news, but it has been reported by Politico and other outlets that the RNC had a “record-breaking” fundraising month in July. Apparently they raised $14.2 million while the Democrats raised about half that. Worse still, the RNC has more than “five times as much in the bank as the DNC.” Scorecard: RNC has raised $227 million since the 2018 election cycle began and the DNC has raised only $119 million.
Even though we can all take delight in the noose tightening around Trump and the Trump crime-family, we haven’t won anything yet. The Republicans will still put an extremist on the Supreme Court. They will still [try to] put guns in school. They are still gutting regulations. And quite frankly, they are still fleecing and lying and cheating. It’s unfathomable, but people on the right don’t seem to mind what their party is doing at all. You don’t donate large chunks of money to an organization you think is corrupt.
One thing is clear: the hatred of the left by those on the right is complete. There is such distrust and loathing that Democrats want to take all their money, let in all the “illegals”, become a lawless country, etc, that the RNC is still able to fundraise like they are the minority party. We have to work twice as hard to win elections due to infrastructure changes made by those on the rights. The purging of voter rolls. The suppression of the vote. We have to work twice as hard because our very election system(s) are vulnerable to attack. And if you think for a moment that election results around the country won’t be suspect if there is a blue wave, then you haven’t been paying attention. If I were a hacker, I’d make the election result of one race --just one – 95% to 5%. That implausible result would have the deleterious affect of sowing doubt on every race.
Buckle up people. Trump’s legal woes won’t win us elections. We will. On our own … with our own sweat.
