RNC raises $213 million ‘fastest ever,’ 99% small donors, to spend $250 million in 2018......

“President Trump and Chairman McDaniel have successfully leveraged enthusiasm to attract a brand new contingent of online donors and these new donors aren’t just one time donors – they are more-than-likely to donate multiple times. .....This is contrary to claims that our initial success with online donors would be short lived as it was just spillover enthusiasm from Trump’s election in November.”

The Republican National Committee has broken records raising money for the fall midterm congressional elections, collecting $213 million so far, with up to 99 percent in small donations, a sign supporters remain jazzed about President Trump and his agenda.

Fundraising figures to be released later this week show that Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and her team broke past the $200 million mark “the fastest” ever, helped by a take of $13.9 million in June, a record in a non-presidential year.

What’s more, they have no debt, $50.7 million on hand, some five times what the Democratic National Committee has.

I contributed to Trump but have been boycotting the GOPe.

I am beginning to consider giving to the GOP again as they will protect Trump from impeachment for putting America first.

I wonder how much money sent to individual candidates will amount to. Probably more than this.

I only contribute to individual candidates.

We intend to continue to send donations to those we support as the GOP hasn’t even come close to earning our trust back.

We need to hold the House. This is good news and shows that the people are interested in the 2018 election.

That’s a good thing to let the RNC know. Stipulate that you will only contribute to the RNC if they back the President.

The Rats are getting so looney I may give the GOP a little cash as well.

I fear we are looking at a tipping point in the survival of the Republic if those Insane Progressives get back in power.

Give directly to worthy candidates only.

The NRSC, NRCC are still controlled by Bush League Republicans and they will lavishly support the open borders candidates and give nothing to MAGA candidates.

The one thing this does show is that GOP voters are motivated for 2018.

I think people need to evaluate their own folks. There are probably 40 GOP senators that might be worth supporting. I agree...giving money to the national headquarters is a stupid idea. But I would also suggest that money may not matter as much as it did a decade ago. Look at Trump using social media and getting his message out, at no cost. Others should adapt to that low-cost method.
