DNC enters 2018 in cash panic (donors take a knee)
Politico ^ | 10/22/17 | GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI, EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE

LAS VEGAS — The Democratic National Committee is reeling, facing a turnaround that's proving a much bigger lift than anyone expected as it struggles to raise enough money to cover its basic promises.

Many donors are refusing to write checks. And on-the-ground operatives worry they won’t have the resources to build the infrastructure they need to compete effectively in next year’s midterms and in the run-up to 2020.

Here in the halls of Bally's hotel and casino for the DNC's fall meeting through the weekend, state committee chairs and operatives echoed a now-common concern among donors and strategists: The DNC's recovery is still a ways away, and that could have serious repercussions for the party in the coming years.

I’m sure there is more than enough at the Clinton Foundation to get them through winter.

The Krintons will never use their own money.

They are world class grifters.

Ya, I’m shocked the Democrats have no money. What the heck?? The Clintons and other well heeled liberal types got money. Why don’t they share the wealth, and be true to their socialist leanings in so doing? How do they justify starving their favorite political party???

It’s a red herring. Democrats are raising plenty of money. Only the DNC is lagging. Ossoff outraised Handel 5:1 - $23.5m to $4.5m for a seat vacated by Tom Price, a Republican. Expect a tsunami of Democratic cash for 2018, given how fired up they are.

"..resources to build the infrastructure.." in other words, payoffs to precinct captains to stuff the ballot boxes.

Two factors to consider:

1. Democrats have lass influence to peddle. Many contributors from last year, will be seeking to ingratiate themselves with whoever holds power this year.

2. Butt covering. Those with things they want/need to hide, may shy away from drawing negative attention to themselves, by those who now run the Justice Department, FTC and IRS.

3. The Democrats beat people into submission to get money. Those people HATE the Clintoons and the Democrats.
