A Record Number of Democratic Challengers Are Outraising GOP Opponents

Bloomberg Businessweek) -- Democrats are hoping a blue wave of support will carry them to victory in this fall’s elections. In the meantime, they’ve caught a green wave of cash—the torrent of money pouring into Democratic campaign coffers helped 73 House candidates outraise Republican incumbents and opponents in races for open seats in the second quarter, a Bloomberg analysis of Federal Election Commission data shows. The more candidates the Democrats can field with the means to run competitive races, the larger the potential blue wave could be, if, as most experts anticipate, a motivated anti-Trump electorate shows up to vote in November. Democrats need to pick up 23 seats to retake control of the House.

The surge of Democrats who raised more money than their GOP opponents last quarter is testimony not only to widespread antipathy to Trump among liberals and many independents, but also to the fundraising acumen of the party committee and many of the new grass-roots groups that sprang up in the wake of Trump’s victory.

Since Trump’s election, Democratic enthusiasm has been apparent in all sorts of ways: the proliferation of anti-Trump marches, the record number of new candidates running for office, increased turnout in primaries and special elections, and surveys showing left-leaning voters more invested in November’s election than their counterparts. That energy has also translated into dollars. In the second quarter of this year, non-incumbent Democratic House candidates raised more than three times the amount they did in the same period in 2014. That works out to an average of $151,000 per candidate, compared with $101,000 in 2014.

More lies?

[cherry]

we know that the oligarchy is supplying millions and millions of dollars to rat candidates....

[cherry]

we will see more and more of these push poll type antics...reports of rats outspending, reports of blue wave...

patriots need to stay focused, and get out and vote...

no ifs, ands or butts...

[pepsionice]

Will money matter? If your message is dump ICE, stop the Trump economy, impeach Trump, and shut down business optimism...the money won’t matter.

[FlipWilson]

Then why is the DNC bankrupt?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Bernie Sanders managed to raise a really big war chest, ten and twenty dollars at a time, from lunatics.

Republicans have the beer vote. That’s all that matters.

This is a sign that the Democrat platform has become unappealing to many voters and new candidates with new ideas see an opening.

The biggest threat to Republicans is the Democrat platform moving closer to the Republican platform.

The more Democrat candidates in a given race, the more the Democrat votes will be spread out, which increases the chances of the Republican[s] winning.

No way, Jose---do not trust a thing Democrats say.

And as midterms loom, watch out for tricks by desperate Democrats.

<><> "record" fund-raising.....

<><> Reddit announces data breach that threatens anonymity of users....

<><> Dems push for illegal votes could be a smokescreen for the electronic voting fraud they're planning.

<><> Facebook announced it "detected" midterm election interference.

<><> Facebook could set up dozens of fake accounts to setup the blame for "election meddling."

============================

BACKSTORY A Democrat vote fraud plan a long time in the making.

CAUGHT ON FILM --- Silicon Valley tech leaders colluding with Obama to set up the data base on Americans Maxine Waters told us would be used in Democrat campaigns. AKA The Obama Police State.

<><>What steps did they take to destroy the voting rights of innocent Americans?

<><> what diabolical plot did they hatch to fix the electronic vote for Democrats?

=================================

An extraordinary moment caught on film...tech masterminds of the universe in one place, toasting each other for screwing Americans in the name of Obama. Tech titans holding vast info on Americans plot the plan to compile a data base on Americans to be used in Democrat campaigns.

A record number of CIA are running for office, coincidence?

[Nifster]

The RNC has outraised the DNC and with Trump in charge they will spend appropriately

This is msm stuff to keep hope alive

Remember Hillary outraised Trump by something like two or three to one

[Alas Babylon!]

It will come down to turnout.

EVERYONE of us should work towards getting out the vote among the Conservative/GOP/Libertarian’s.

Take at least 5 people to the polls on election day. Offer rides to those who can’t drive.

Make phone calls for the local GOP.

Are you all doing this? If not, why not?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Make phone calls for the local GOP.

Should be easy, as where I live they would all fit nicely into a phone booth.

[oldvirginian]

That yuuge war chest didn’t help Jon Ossoff very much. He had money pouring in from across the country.

Turnout is the key and if we turn out they are toast regardless of how much they spend.

[ridesthemiles]

Isn’t it grand?

ALL that $$$$$ spent on advertising-—rallys-—campaign materials-—travel-—and all the trappings of a campaign....

It is boosting the GDP of the USA, which Trump benefits from.

[jmaroneps37]

And...? Oh yeah Hillary Clinton won 2016 because she had more money right? The dogs don’t like the food so they won’t eat no matter how slick the packaging.

[antidemoncrat]

How much of this is due to Soros and his rich cronies.

[TADSLOS]

Leftist billionaires moving $$$$$$ around.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Agree! That’s why I’m posting these articles. We can’t be complacent and take anything for granted!

As Crooked learned in 2016, money does not equal votes.
