Dem challenging Cruz raises $1 million online in two months: report

 By Lisa Hagen - 07/05/17 05:15 PM EDT 


Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) raised more than $1 million online in two months for his long-shot bid against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), according to Politico.

O'Rourke announced in late March that he was challenging Cruz, who is up for reelection in 2018, for his Senate seat. The Texas Democrat reportedly raised $1 million online in April and May.

Second quarter fundraising numbers have yet to be posted on the Federal Election Commission’s website and the filing deadline is July 15. The second quarter includes fundraising numbers from April, May and June, so O'Rourke's numbers will likely be higher.

Rats Throwing all that rich donor money at a Repub  to win a seat has worked so well for them this year.  But what the heck, it's good for the TV and Radio station revenues.

The Rats got alot of seats to defend in the Senate this time, plus all their other races. Money's going to get a little thin if they keep blowing it like this.

Remember Dems, the problem is never that you spent so much and it didn't work out, the problem is always that you didn't spend enough.

To be fair, I read today that only 96.5% of the money coming in for Ossoff between March and May was from out of state.

Man the DNC and affiliated pacs are really slacking off.  In the old days the % would have been closer to 99.775.
