The DNC and RNC aren’t the principal sources of campaign funds.
The focus on the DNC funding was always a bit off.
The DNC can be run by screwballs, which probably explains their financing situation, while the Dem candidates are well funded.
Add to that all the off-the-books funding that goes on.

Big donor Republicans are rewarding the RNC for their lukewarm support for, or even hostility to, Pres. Trump.

Actually a lot of it is from smaller donors and the RNC is controlled by Trump appointees so that "hostility" and "lukewarm support" you mention doesn't exist.

I think control of congress will be determined by who the American people believe regarding the FISA Memo. If people believe the memo, Republicans will win. If people believe the Democrats rebuttle memo, then they win.

Not entirely true at all!

Each major party has delineated compartments/set asides, to fund candidates for governor, Reps, and Senators. This is cash that gets added to the funds raised, by the candidates themselves.

This is especially important, given the GOPe has a poor record in supporting their own party’s candidates if they don’t tow the line.

The generic ballot says otherwise, that the Democrats’ lead has evaporated. Let the memo sink in all that money will be needed to catch up.

Oh picker of nits, what I wrote IS 100% true and factual, and is pertinent.

That you have a problem with it, says a lot about you, nothing about my post, and means that the Dems will have less money to spend.

The article bases the false conclusion on a special election, which brings outside funding that won’t be available during the regular election.

The hag constituents even sold their stocks to send money to their commie candidates. If they didn’t occupy so many federal, state and local government jobs, it wouldn’t be happening.
