You’re right. We should be concerned. We don’t have a Soros on our side.

Good point!

“The RNC raised $227.2 million in 2018 to the DNC’s nearly $120 million.”

Yeah, right. That is why Sinema the Democrat Pink Tutu Wearer was able to outspend Martha McSally for months in Arizona, and why the GOP pulled all funding to the lady trying to win McSally’s House seat a month prior to the election - because “WE” had money to burn! Now add in the media’s multi-BILLION unpaid advertising boost to democrat campaigns...

They have many billionaires funding them. Doesn’t matter that much what the DNC raises.

The Democrats had much better ground game. I had a bunch of democrats at my door to talk about their candidate, not one Republican.

Yes - my reaction to my non-reading of the article was:

"Whatever"

We caught them with their pants down in 2016.

They fixed their broken Election Fraud Machines in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

They have a new super-weapon in Ballot Harvesting, along with air cover for it in the form of North Carolina.

We either beat them to a pulp over the impending attack on Trump, and then go after their Election Fraud weapons, or we're done here.

Hundreds of millions of dollars from just four billionaires is why they outraised us. In some races, they were outspending 3 and four to one, and still lost.

Yes, exactly...which is unfortunate - for example, take the Senate race in Michigan. The final results indicate that race was quite winnable - the GOP candidate was virtually unfunded, and when he was finally able to get on the air and people started to see and hear from him, he rapidly starting closing the gap - he was far more than a generic GOP candidate. There are at least one million conservatives in this country (actually, a lot more than that) that would have been willing to chip in a mere $10 a piece to give John James a full campaign war chest. It just wasn't organized. Imagine the dynamics of the election if MT, WV, WI, MI, and MN candidates alone suddenly had $10 million or more appear in their campaign war chests instead of the relatively meager amounts they had as compared to their opponents. Those were all very winnable races with at least half-way decent candidates.

Plus the BILLIONS in in-kind contributions by media outlets masquerading as news programs and journalistic endeavors.

“The Democratic National Committee has a few concerns heading into 2019. For starters, their cash flow is not even in the same stratosphere as the Republicans’ haul. The RNC raised $227.2 million in 2018 to the DNC’s nearly $120 million.”

This is such nonsense. The democrat dark money from billionaires like Steyer, Bloomberg, Soros, Public Employee unions, Abortion Lovers, etc far far outspends R’s in every election cycle. It isn’t even close.

“They out raised us through PAC’s and private crowd funding by several hundred million in 2018...”

Correct, to them the DNC is a nuisance. Their real fundraising is direct to the candidates through the mega-billionaire/insane leftist nexus, combined with a much better exploitation of both commercial an social media. This gives them a funding advantage of several billion dollars. We are all chortling about Beto flushing $80M in his run for Cruz, but he got within 1-1/2%. In Texas. Leftists almost certainly cheat — it is simply part of their strategy and until we figure out how to stop it the cheating will continue while we clutch our pearls — but the fact remains they want to win more than we do.
