Republicans raise $20.7M in June -- more than double Dems' $8.5M haul
Fox News, Jul 20, 2019

The Republican National Committee raised more than twice as much as the Democratic National Committee in June – $20.7 million compared to the DNC’s $8.5 million, according to Federal Election Commission filings, Politico reported.

“Our record-smashing fundraising haul is a testament to the ongoing enthusiasm for President Trump and the pro-growth agenda that is delivering for every American across this country," GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement to Fox News last week.

The RNC currently has $43.5 million, more than double the cash on hand as the DNC’s $9.3 million.

The DNC spent heavily on events related to the debates and the presidential candidates last month, including $221,000 for catering and $61,000 for event decorations for a total of $7.5 million, according to Politico.

“They need to get their s-- together. Now,” Adam Parkhomenko, a former DNC national field director, told Vice.

Sounds great, but it's it's a pittance against the Soros/Steyer dark money.

Tom Steyer has 1.6 billion cash-on-hand.  He just never thought America would embrace rich people buying the Presidency until Trump paved the way.

How did he buy the Presidency by spending about half of his opponent spending?

That doesn't include the payments to Russia.

Because the same "fake news" media he so rails—and which, as host of The Apprentice, employed him for a decade— gave him far more in free publicity and in-kind contributions. About five billion dollars' worth, almost as much as Trump claims to be worth and more than what most outsiders suspect he has.

I would, but there's an issue in censoring the kind of American I might want to speak.

Were I a big-money Dem contributor I would be holding my big $$ back until the Dems' field of candidates got pared down to 2 or 3 (maybe 4). Less likely my $$ would go to someone who would be dropping out fairly early. So I see nothing to celebrate or rue at this point, it's just donors being cautious, IMO.
