RNC $$ vs. DNC $$

Things that make you go hmmm....
----
The Republican National Committee raised $9.2 million in the month of October and has brought in more than $113 million so far this year, far outpacing their Democratic counterparts, according to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.

The RNC ended October with $42.5 million in the bank and no debt. The Democratic National Committee, meanwhile, raised $3.9 million in October and $55 million this year.

The DNC has $5 million cash-on-hand and $3.2 million in debt.

Most of the money — 60 percent — raised in direct contributions to the RNC came from donations under $200. The party raised $4.29 million in small-dollar donations, bringing its total for the year to $48 million.

Hmmmm....

but but but Deputy DNC Chair Keith Ellison said a couple of months ago that those numbers would go up and at the first of the year, Perez said he'd increased the fundraising staff ten-fold.

The problem??? The DWS fiasco was over a year ago, and you can't blame Donna Brazille for all of this. I wonder, they are the underdog now and have a controversial GOP president at the helm and the Democrats especially need to spend and spend big to win elections in general.

This is just taking them too long to get over Hillary's loss and they are having trouble winning elections by just outspending the opponent. Maybe new DNC leadership is called for, because fundraising is the main function of the RNC and DNC and Perez and them aren't cutting it.

I have to assume that Democratic donors were significantly demoralized by Trump's victory and now the possibility that was done by Russian interference in the voting process.

I would think that Trump's personality and governing style would be a boon for fundraising.

That's true but to date I think the more successful fundraising has been for the unofficial "Resistance" rather than for the Democratic Party which like the Republican Party is trying to determine what direction it's going to take in the future. Bernie Sanders energized the Millennials and younger wing of Democat-leaning people and they were seriously disheartened by their primary loss and then by the election loss.

Good point. I wonder what the numbers would be if we tallied up all the donations to grassroots organizations. I bet younger, left leaning voters are probably sending their money to blm or antifa or something more "boots on the ground" than the official party.

Apparently, it is. But not for democrats.

They have no one to be FOR, Just the sick misguided communist party misnamed as democrats.

I agree with Rob. They're sending money to radical left wing terror groups, if they're sending any at all. And then, most of the Soros money is going the same places.

I doubt it. Those groups you mention just don't have the organization to handle large donations. For example, who is the leader of BLM?

I don’t have to know who the leader is to donate money, either to their national presence or to a local chapter.

They don't know how to handle a large donation?

I think you endorse the check and deposit it into the organization's bank account.

Dunno.

That's my point. Neither do I. The organizations being funded are Democratic Party organizations and the ACLU.

Where is the organization located? My point is these are resistance groups that have informal organizations probably united on the social media. I don't think they are receiving large amounts of money from donors.

Maybe just give the check to Soros and he will forward it.

Do you want me to start posting links?

Look, after the Dem primaries and the Brazile article, it just seeks likely that quite a few on the left may be holding a bit of a grudge against the party, with the side affect of them being more involved in grassroots organizations. It happened recently on the right, with the tea party movement. Now it's the left's turn for some introspection.

Yes. Please post links showing fundraising activity by Black Lives Matter and AntiFa. I'm just not aware of that.

 

[Rob_BW]

Dude, I get it, we don't agree on much politically. But do you really think that these organizations are operating without any fundraising? That's just crazy.

Maybe people can’t stand either side, like Nancy P & Schmuck Schmuer cut such a youthful & confident leadership duo
