Republican Party war chest dwarfs Democrats’ going into 2020 high season
Fox News ^ | 02/21/2020 | Brooke Singman

The Republican Party has nearly eight times as much cash-on-hand as the Democratic Party in the heat of the 2020 primary season.

According to the latest Federal Election Commission (FEC) data released Thursday, covering Jan. 1 through Jan. 31, the Republican National Committee has $76 million cash-on-hand compared with the Democratic National Committee’s $9.9 million.

“Record breaking support for this president and his policies continues to grow as we head full-force into this presidential election year,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement to Fox News.

“Across the country, Americans are choosing President Trump’s record of results over Democrats’ divided field of contenders with no vision for the country, and they are ready for four more years of the great American comeback he has started,” she added.

A spokesperson for the DNC did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment. …

We get between at least three and four Republican mail requests for money each week. Sometimes both my wife and myself receive the same but duplicate mailing.

Further, by answering the TV ad request and calling in, my phone number was captured and I get at least one text message per day. Some are informative and some ask for money.

The effort is massive and effective

I've never seen mini-Mike's chest. I assume it is pathetically weak and small.

I hope the Republican's war chest is used to win back the house and extend the majority in the Senate. The Senate is key as it affect judge/justice appointments.

$76m? Bloomberg spent $220m in January alone, and he’s just getting started:

Good news but not the whole story. The left had hundreds of small nonprofits that will pour billions into this election. These orgs open, take a few million in donations, turn them into campaign contributions and shut down before they get investigated.

... As of the February 2020 campaign finance reports, the same six party committees—three Democratic committees and three Republican committees—have raised a combined $754.4 million during the 2020 election cycle ($443.9 million across the three Republican committees and $310.5 million across the three Democratic committees)...

I donate directly to candidates I support. I never give anything to RINO groups.

Newt Gingrich taught me how little respect he and the rest of the GOP elite have for the people whose money they are more than willing to take.

At least that much. But Trump has Twitter and Bloomberg has all of the charisma of a box of kitty litter.

Never send money from a phone or online solicitation. up 5o 40% is taken by the company doing it. If you support a candidate, send it to them direct.

Right. And that's how Bloomberg, Steyer, Soros, Penny Pritzker and others pour hundreds of millions into politics. The so-called campaign finance laws only stop the middle class from using their money.

The law is like a spider's web: it catches the little flies, but the big ones burst on through.

And Steyer has spent at least $200 million on anti-Trump crusade.

Pretty close to $700 million anti-Trump spending already.
