ProPublica reports the Republican National Committee (RNC) has set yet another fundraising record, while the Democratic National Committee (DNC) registered its lowest figure in April during a midterm election cycle since 2006.

In the same month, the report reveals the DNC had expenditures totaling $8.3 million and finished up with $8.7 million in cash. The party currently owes $5.3 million.

And there are still some that want Dems to run the economy. When they do, it looks like the DNC’s checkbook.

This is nice but let’s not get too excited. As always is the case with mid-term elections, most of the races since Trump has been elected have gone to the party out of power — the Dems. Even ones in previously “Republican” areas. The Dems will pick up seats. May win the House. Less of a chance of winning the Senate. A lot of money will help but won’t be a decisive factor in stemming Republican losses. That’s just the way it goes.

The GOP ought to at least consider sending fruit baskets to these kids as a token of appreciation for their efforts.

Ok, DNC lowest fundraising since 2006. But just to temper things a bit, the Dems took Congress in 2006.

Dems are contributing to individual candidates. Remember - in Georgia, Ossoff outraised Karen Handel $23.3m to $4m. https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia’s_6th_Congressional_District_special_election,_2017#tab=Spending

And in the PA election that the GOP lost, the Dem was young, handsome and charismatic. But he still needed a cash edge to win. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/01/pennsylvania-special-election-fundraising-lamb-saccone-433530

Weirdly enough, Ballotpedia has sought to obscure Lamb’s money edge, even though the raw numbers were accessible during and just after the campaign. https://ballotpedia.org/Pennsylvania’s_18th_Congressional_District_special_election,_2018

Are more people/groups sending money directly to individual candidates than before? ...and bypassing the DNC? Curious.

Don't worry Democrats. The DNC always seems to somehow make
ends meet. And the Dems can always go to the Clinton
Foundation for cash. I'm sure they'd be glad to loan the party some money.
I wonder how much cash Obama took with him when he left office?

We live in changed times and should not base predictions on what has happened in the past.

No president has done as much in a year and a half. These actions will override standard conditions. Nor have we ever had a president who kicks the Goebbelsmedia all over the map.

Deliver an even bigger majority in 2018 to set up redistricting in 2020.

Here are some real math numbers.

1st. 2018 is not going to end well for them. They have 25 seats up, with 11 vulnerable. Compare that to the Republicans who have only seats up with merely 2 vulnerable.

Let’s just say losing 30% cor the Dems would be a friggin disaster but, not as bad as 2020....more later.

2nd. SCOTUS...3 more turns at bat over the next 8 years.

3rd. Federal Judges. Over the next 7.5 years we will realign more than 1/2 or more than 700 Federal Judges and may even break up pesky courts like the 9th.

Hell, we could replace a few annoying judges in Hawaii.

4th. The Wall.

5th. Obamacare will be repealed.

6th. Lower Capital gains tax and offer enticing tax advantages to repatriate some of the $3 Trillion offshore and put that capital to work investing in factories and new business ideas.

This will invigorate the economy.

7th. 2020. Dems have 11 Senate seats up, compared to 22 for Republicans.

We probably have a net gain of 3 for the Senate.

All 435 seats in Congress are up but, if we can get the issues of healthcare coverage, The economy and the wall in progress as well at least SCOTUS we will probably have an increase in the house as well(I am still studying that batlefield and don’t have numbers yet)

So why all the fighting from the Dems and these charges which are no more than vapor?

Well, their product sucks. Its a stew of hate, Socialism/Marxist utopian ideals and more segregation of society by invented classes of aggrieved people.

But, the real kicker is this about Reapportionment. Can you say Entropy?

8. Yeah that’s right. With more wins under the belt of the Republicans we will have a larger swath of land to carve up because the census will take place, which the predicate for redistricting and guess who wins that fight no matter what?

Republicans and we get an increase in key states we will continue to win. Alabama, Georgia and Florida will gain 1 more representative in the house, who will likely be a Republican

However, Texas will gain 3 or 4 representatives locking up the south for Republicans over the next decade.

So, in 2020 we will gain further majorities in the house and senate, redistrict in our favor, we will be in the middle of an economy that out performs all other nations, 2 SCOTUS or more will be seated in our favor, 300-400 Federal judges are seated Obamacare/Check, Tax Policy/Check, The Wall/Check, Fair Trade/Check, ISIS Dead/Check, Russia petitions for statehood (jus kee dean), Trump Re-elected / Yuge Check.

And the dems wander the wilderness for 10 years because they stand zero chance of doing anything significant after 2020.

And the DNC is not only running an insane $3.5 million dollars in debt but, their fundraising is at the lowest in 14 years.

And they have no candidate for 2020 as yet but, their current financial or intellectual leadership.

Oh, and that Trump meme “ He’s going to step down!” Uhmmm...Boo Chit.

He’s already fundraising for his 2020 PAC with $12,000,000 cash on hand.

That’s right. After disbursements he’s got $12 million.

That’s debt free money.

Oh, and the RNC is cash flow positive with $44,000,000 in the bank.

I ask you, at this point, who is going to win?

Conclusion:
Democrats are so broke they can’t pay attention and have zero money to support any war but.

Cheap azz Chinese knockoff of an intellect.

So, get use to Donald Trump being president for 8 years.

They send tons of letters.

I got my Gold Card last week. Strangely, my wife got one too and she never spends money on politics.

I don’t contribute and toss the letters, but alas they persist. My limited donations go to specific candidates of my choice.

I wish I could be more upbeat about the GOP having more funds available. I saw what efforts were put out against Moore and others. At least not one red cent of my money went to that effort.

Almost every day I get five to ten requests for more money for the RNC/GOP. And every day I ignore every one of them.

The problem with the RNC and most of their PACs is the funds are controlled by the GOPe. Heck, Ryan's huge PAC just disbursed millions to a bunch of NeverTrump Republicans.

Our only hope is to stop sending the cash to the RNC and send it directly to the candidates we support. I think that is what is happening with the Democrats. The DNC just had to pay Hillary's old campaign for some used-up data base info because in 2016 she made the DNC sign over full control to her, as well as all funding efforts so many Libs are staying away from the DNC and going directly to the candidates.
