Democrat ‘Doomsday Scenario’ as Campaign Funds Evaporate
Breitbart ^ | 16 Jul 2019 | Nate Church

Empty wallets might finally do to the crowd of Democrat 2020 presidential challengers what national disinterest could not.

New financial disclosures show that 11 liberal contenders for the Oval Office are operating their campaigns at a deficit, having spent more money than campaign donations could support. Eight more have less than $1 million on hand. More than five months from 2020, only the front-runners have the financial means to go much further.

“This is the doomsday scenario for a lot of campaigns, where they’re grasping for air to keep their campaigns alive and to live another day,” said Washington Democrat strategist Andrew Feldman. “You can’t build an organization. You can’t build an operation that turns enthusiasm into votes without having resources to do it.”

“You’re not going to see a lot of people continuing to give to a person with no money left,” he added.

or the traitor Koch brothers
Seems like not long ago that the Republicans had a Koch habit.

They were the darlings of the Republican party when the (Bush) Republicans were sending everything we owned to the Koch head's un-American global cause.

IOW, they've always been traitors no matter what party was in power...Sez a lot about the parties too.

How long does it take for fec.gov to post new data?
They’ve got Williamson at $3M receipts, $2.5M disbursements;
DeBlasio at $1.1M receipts, $359k disbursements.

Top 5 are over $10M, next 4 are $5M - $10M (although Beto O’Rourke is right there at nearly $5M remaining); next 5 after O’Rourke have $1M - $2.5M; next 6 have $500k-$1M (but that includes Swalwell who dropped out).

Maybe by “in the red” they mean disbursements for the period exceed receipts for the period? That’s a different question.
