In September the Republican National Committee outraised the Democratic National Committee by $6 million. The RNC raised $10 million and the DNC raised $4 million. The ‘cash on hand’ differences between the two committees are even more striking. Republicans have $44 million on hand while the DNC has only $7 million and they are $3.7 in debt.
This year the RNC has raised twice as much money as the DNC. Republicans have raised $104 million while the Democrats have raised $51 million.

Why does the RNC need so much money to throw at elections in places like Virginia? Could it be an attempt to overcome the lies and corruption of their current and previous Republican administrations?
1) The McDonnell lie, HB2313, The biggest lie in the history of Virginia and the largest tax increase in Virginia’s history.
2) The Trump lies;
1) Repeal and replace Obamacare. 7 years the Republicans lied to us about this, and then Trump.
2) Affordable, fantastic, wonderful, healthcare for all Trump said, “only I can fix it” he boasted. Nothing but an establishment liar and con artist.
3) Tarriffs on Mexico and Communist cheap imports.
4) Mexico would pay for the wall.
5) Deport illegals and dreamers.
And now, Republicans are lying to you about their lies. It will take a whole lot more than lots of dirty money and lies to put the establishments Gillespie, Vogel, and Adams in office.
Don’t let these Satanic thugs highjack your brains.
I’m kind of surprised that the Dems haven’t been able to leverage all of the anti-Trump hysteria into more donations.
I wonder how much actual hysteria there is.
Yes, we did see people prancing around on television after the election crying about Trump’s win … but that was like right outside the windows of the L.A. Times, New York Times, CNN, etc, in the big cities. Of course they are going to report on it night and day. Not only is it happening right at their doorstep, it’s also exactly how they feel, and precisely the point of view they wanted to push. What would have been amazing is if we hadn’t seen non-stop coverage of Trump protests. If two people had been standing together on a street corner dress in blue and one of them sort of smirked at the mention of Trump’s name that would have been a big protest if they hadn’t been able to find bigger.
The flip side of that, the TEA Party protests … those were NOT happening right at CNN’s doorstep, and they were NOT the point of view that the media wanted to push, so they demonized them.
Steyer and Soros will close the gap and the sheep will fall in line on election day.
Maybe, but I don’t think it’s going to work this time, especially as people learn how the DNC basically sold their primary to H. Clinton.
