Dem group raises $500K to challenge GOP reps for ObamaCare repeal
The Hill ^ | 5/04/17 | Ben Kamisar

A liberal grassroots activist group claims to have raised more than $500,000 in 24 hours to challenge vulnerable Republicans who voted for the GOP's plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

The group, Swing Left, has been touting its fundraising haul on Twitter as the donations pour in. And it noted in a release that $150,000 of that total was raised in the first hour after the Thursday afternoon vote.

Donors gave $100,000 specifically for the eventual Democratic challenger to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), a top Democratic target who voted for the ObamaCare repeal bill.

They raised and lost $8m million in a single GA congressional seat in off cycle and national focus. What is $0.5 mil gonna buy? 0.025 congressional seats?

It won’t pass the Senate, so it may be possible to save the House.

Chump change. The stupid party could go so hard after Rats for what Odungacare has become. Ultimately they are the stupid party and they are clueless how to get the message out.

That ain’t much money

The dems are burning through more than eight million to win the Geaorhia sixth.

The dems if they win the sixth, and the probably will, will learn the wrong lesson. They will think that enough money and a young candidate wins. Hope. But I don’t know if the GOP is any smarter

Yeah there’s 350 million people in the country.

500,000 really isn’t a lot.

How much did those folks involved in the gay pizza wedding thingy get? :)

500,000 is a 10 second commercials during the superbowl :)

Hillary Clinton spent 1.6 billion running for president and still lost.

The rats think they can spend all of George Soros money to victory. Let them go broke.

Republicans need to remind young voters every day who removed the individual mandate from around their neck, very important to the vast majority of young voters who don’t give a rat’s patootie about health insurance.

Trump is brilliant at this 3D Chess game.

He was able to get this full repeal of Obama care passed into law after only 4+ months as POTUS.

All the naysayers over the budget passed days ago are in complete awe over his mastery here.

Obama-care gone for good.

Dems are screaming.

Dems are screaming.

The rich elite left wing rats and their congressits in N. California are going ballistic about this vote.

Our Never Trumpsters are whining, crying and saying all is lost.

Best election ever!

Please check my tagline!
