If cash is so crucial, why isn't Hillary president? That's right she got her ass kicked by some guy working with a shoestring budget. Jeb! (please clap) also dropped a big bundle.

Probably a very minor point, only me, in fact...but I haven’t seen a single political ad this year...mainly because I don’t watch commercial TV anymore...especially the news.
You can spend a gazillion dollars on ads, but if no one watches, only the media reaps the windfall.

"Democrats have more money to spend to tell us how they want to take all of ours!"
Well, that's what I read.

Add in Soros money, Hollywood money, Wall Street money and foreign money.
Funny though, Democrats never mention what the average donation is. That’s probably because they receive so little campaign donations from the rank and file. On the other hand, most Republican money does come from the rank and file.

Janz said his donor base is widespread. "In many parts of the country and in many parts of our state here, and even locally, people wanted this guy out of office," he said.
Campaign Reform Now!
No, seriously. Politicians/political groups should be required to keep a database of who donates to their campaign. And donations are restricted to people/businesses they will represent - no fundraising/donations from outside your district/city/state/whatever you're running for.
On a side note, if Dems have so much cash, why is the DNC beyond broke and in so much debt? Shouldn't they have benefited from all these $$ coming in too?
To: Zhang Fei
Cash is nice...in this case it is not king, nor can it manufacture one.
It will be a red wave in both houses.
The media is hurting the Dems...yes, hurting. They jump a new shark almost daily and only the angry Prius and Fit owners watch these. They lose Dems in blue collar union areas daily to PDJT. Blacks have a favorability rating of PDJT like 30+. Each race Larry posts news about has R about 7-10 pts.
The cash may be used to gen votes, like interring grave sites, busing in illegals, or reprogramming Soros-paid Diabold machines, but we have better oversight and exposure of the Left’s legalities now.
One anecdotal evidence play is apathy...our side is fired up. I drive all around for my business. Wwwaaayyy more Republican signs in yards now...during 2004, 2008, 2012, 2014, many Dem signs, nearly equal. In urban areas, signs are scant in Cincinnati proper...on my street, not even a single sign. I live in the city.
Even before Kavanaugh, we were fired up.
GenX, baby boomers will still vote on left...millennials, not so much. Turnout will be down on the Left.
Red wave. Just to piss off the Left, I’ll call it a red tide.

Fueled by an energetic base of small donors, Democrats are going into the final stretch of the election with a substantial financial advantage . . .Yeah, they have a lot of $5 and $25 donors from their hippie free stuff base which makes up 10-15% of the total and the remaining 85-90% from billionaires like Steyer, Soros and Bloomberg.
Tell me again how they are the party of the little guy.

Headline should have ended with ...To Burn because burn it they will, and lose they will. Happy to watch them send the money up in smoke.
The RAT party has made it's bed with the destruction of a fine man Justice Kavanaugh and the nation is woke. Everyone needs to get out and vote against RATS and partake in the Red Tsunami on Nov 6.

Wow this is dangerous!! You remember how Soros’ money bought the 2010 and 2014 House elections and he used his money to buy the White House for Hillary Clinton right? Oh you don’t, well neither do I.
Money gets you on the stage but if the audience doesn’t like the song you are singing it doesn’t mean a thing. Ask former presidents Perot and Forbes about that.

$$$$$ don’t mean S#!t. Its the message that gets the vote. Of course the $$$$ can be used to buy votes, but its no guarantee.

If spending guaranteed victory, Hillary would be POTUS. The message is bad. The people are bad. And Trump keeps drawing thousands to his rallies. The experts said that crowd size didn’t matter in 1948, either, and that Dewey was certain to beat Truman. Crowd spirit and size matters a whole lot. So does the message and the candidates.
