all of these totals are fairly small because we’re quite far out from the actual election

Also, the Dem side has too many contenders at present. The 'money' will hold back until the field clears. A couple more debates and the field should know who is getting the major support.

yep. that’s absolutely correct. the smart money doesn’t want to be wasted on a gaggle of losers ...

But these funds are going to the respective National Committees, not the candidates. From what I see from these totals, the RAT Party has a problem attracting loyal RATs to donate to it because, it no longer represents a philosophy to which most traditional DemoRATs can subscribe. Time will tell, but early fundraising can start telling the story.
