Has the failure of the blue states finally bit the Democrats on the butt?
We all know that President Trump is struggling in the polls. But campaign finance figures for statehouse races like these suggest plenty of trouble for Democrats.
According to Breitbart's Matt Boyle:
Americans significantly decreased contributions to Democrats running for state legislature seats in the second quarter as the Democrat Party has turned hard left, fundraising information announced this week shows.
The lackluster performance by Democrats at the state level could have broader national implications. First off, state-level political trends sometimes forecast later looming national trends — "from the State House to the White House," the saying goes.
But more importantly, the state legislatures elected this year will handle redistricting next year heading into the 2022 cycle — influencing the direction of and perhaps control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade.
The drop-off in Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) fundraising — which has Democrats $20 million shy of their stated cycle-long goal of $50 million total — comes as their Republican counterparts nearly doubled the total raised by Democrats in the second quarter.
That's good news for Republicans and their prospects of shifting the power of legislatures to a conservative, pro-America direction. We know for sure that the high Republican statehouse-fundraising and indeed state legislative and gubernatorial victories in 2012 set the stage for the Republican takeover of the House by 2014, so past may be prologue.
But more important, these shifts signal that "Had enough?" is not just a Republican slogan. Voters are in fact disgusted, at their limits, quite possible even in blue states.
They've had enough.
Blue-state rule, particularly the one-party rigged kind, is starting to disgust voters.
What's the Democrat record, after all,

I am praying that the laws of unintended consequences kick in again.
They don’t need to, as Dem’s can easily rig those races.
This affirms what we know that Trump struggling in the polls is bogus.
Why should they? What they don’t give to the Dems, the Dems in power will steal from them anyway.
“Defund the Police” doomed them among normal voters. Now, they are frantically trying to pretend they never said it - but BLM won’t shut up with its demands.
I am sure the Dems will find some way to launder money to the campaign through “non-profit” organizations.
Interesting that some people say that President Trump is “struggling in the polls” yet at the very same time, the Trump Reelection Campaign is reporting massive amounts being donated monthly.
I don’t believe the polls one little bit. They are designed to sway public opinion as opposed to reflect public opinion.
TRUMP/PENCE 2020!
Blue-state rule, particularly the one-party rigged kind, is starting to disgust voters.

Nice feel good article. But I’d like to see more evidence.
R = Recovery, Realism and Reverence
D = Destruction, Deceit and Derisiveness
The funding for Democrat statehouse candidates comes overwhelmingly from the public employee unions, doesn’t it? Have the police and fire fighter unions abandoned the Democrats? It sure isn’t the teacher’s unions. They’re run by far left psychos.
Biden is out raising Pres. Trump. Are you sure you want to use that as evidence of something?
Most of the record fundraising by the DNC, national dems and Biden was the BLM people/Sharpton/Jessie “bundling” donations to them as part of corporations and their boards buying “indulgences” from the group as part of their shakedowns. Meanwhile most GOP/Trump donations are below the FEC reporting limit (People don’t want to get doxxed for donating to republicans right now).
I know that Tom Wolf is royally hacking-off everybody here in PA. Some Republicans in the legislature are now optimistic that they can flip enough Dems to override his veto of a bill ending the state of emergency.
Stopped reading right there.
Anyone not having the political acumen to see through the Democrat fake-polling operation the media has run every single election for several generations now isn't worth following.
ActBlue doesn’t donate to anyone. They’re just a website that collects donations. BLM’s website is directing people to the ActBlue website.
Amazing Americans aren’t giving $$$ to people who are looking to transform America. Great!!
