But money by itself is not enough. Just ask President Phil Gramm or President Jeb Bush.

Or president Hillary.

Hillary is a walking advertisement for why we don’t need campaign finance reform.

[pepsionice]

If they had been smart in the spring of 2017, they would have formed up...gotten a joint message, and pushed forward for a new party without Hillary or Obama. Instead, they’ve wasted 15 months now. I don’t see their funding pot filling by November, and they still don’t realize the need for one comprehensive message from the party.

The only Dem wave you are gonna see is them waving as they fade into the distance as they say goodbye.

Article does not take into account the absolute irrational Trump Hatred by the dem voter

That alone will get them to the polls in November
Money organization will not be needed

[Westbrook]

First, funding.

0bama funneled BILLIONS in government law case settlements to leftist activist organizations, like the Southern Poverty Law Center. That money will find its way back to the democrat party as needed.

Second, advertising.

The democrat party enjoys 24/7 free advertising from the legacy press. No real need for them to buy a lot more.

The biggest problem with the Dems, is they’ve become a collection for the most narrow special interest groups, instead of a political party. It’s all about Blacks, LGBTQLMNOP, SJW’s and radical feminists. They forgot who put and kept them in power in congress for 40 plus years, the White working class. The GOP-E isn’t much better, but at least they aren’t overtly anti American. The Dems can cobble together enough of these folks to win here and there, but there is no Blue Wave, add to that, if Trump can get the Rust Belt reliably voting GOP, the Dems are done as a National Party, unless they manage to turn Texas Blue.

You can’t win modern campaign without money. It’s necessary to pay professional campaign staff, to mobilize voters, to run advertisements, to get your message out. But money by itself is not enough.

The democrats have something that republicans don't, and what the democrats have is worth billions during a presidential campaign. It's called the left-wing media, which is about 80% of TV and radio and newspapers, etc. The left-wing media is already bought, and liberal causes and liberal candidates get the "free messaging" that comes from their automatic bias of that left-wing media.

Republicans, unfortunately, have to out-raise the democrats in order to even be competitive in campaigns. Fortunately, the underlying messages for republicans have resonated with the people, while democrats don't really have a good enough message to go along with their massive control of the media. But, the media is the messenger, and republicans had better keep the right messages overcoming the automatic bias from the left-wing media.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Pulling off a wave would require the Dems to replicate the Rahm Emmanuel strategy of ‘06. Find a bunch of Conor Lambs and run them in red and purple districts.

Fortunately their whackjob base is not going to let them do that. Tom Steyer will be flooding the airwaves with ads, ripping Tom Perez and Keith Ellison to shreds if they try.

[Magnatron]

The only way there could be a Democrat “wave” is if the Republicans allow it (and I wouldn’t put that theory away, either).

There is more than enough crazy, melt-down, behavior on tape now to swing the election away from Democrats for a generation.

The question is, do the Republicans have the balls to use it...

...and do they want to?

[EDINVA]

They took losing the “white vote” or “White Middle Class vote” too lightly. Who could belong to a party that filed that idiotic lawsuit the DNC did last week? For me, if I were a faithful lifelong Dem, that would have been the last straw.

No Wall, no Congress.
