The Democratic National Committee, in dire financial straits due to lackluster fundraising this year, had its worst August raising money in a decade.
Figures reported to the FEC on Wednesday night show not only a major drop-off in cash for the Democrats, but also a substantial increase in the party's debt.
The DNC raised just $4.4 million last month, the second lowest August fundraising figure for the party in the past decade. The party had less cash on hand at the end of the month than it did at the beginning, as its spending outpaced its fundraising by $44,575.
And it gets worse. The DNC's debt substantially increased from $3.4 million to $4.1 million, a figure equal to about 60 percent of the committee's total cash on hand.
Party officials predicted in August that DNC fundraising figures would start to turn around, explaining that its fundraising staff was ten times bigger than it had been at the beginning of the year.
DNC deputy chairman Keith Ellison defended the previous month's bad fundraising figures by predicting that there would be "some really good reports to share in the weeks to come."
It is unclear what reports Ellison was referring to.
Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee raised $7.3 million in August. It has $45.9 million in cash on hand and no debts owed.
Political fundraising is as much about organization as it is a clash of ideas. The DNC might have ten times the number of fundraising staff it had at the beginning of the year, but if the organization is lacking direction, the number of fundraisers becomes irrelevant.

“some really good reports to share in the weeks to come.”
They’ll be hitting up Soros for some cash.
Gonna be harder and harder to hide the source of the cash.
I guess they haven’t got my check yet.
Time to file on on our side but not thru the RNC.
Their massive resistance means they can’t do anything for their donors.
Donors don’t want “no”, they want profitable outcomes. Which they’re getting from anti-Trump Republicans.
OMG how terrible the Democrats can’t raise money
Why not? The media have been trumpeting how Trump is dangerous and the Trump White House is in meltdown. Certainly Democrats should be giving money towards elections in 2018 and 2020 to defeat the Trump agenda.
The Democrats aren’t able to raise money from the alleged problems of Trump??? So sad........
The RNC ain’t getting a dime from me either, until they get to work supporting Trump!!!
Hahaha. Winning! MAGA!!!!
Hillary is getting the money on her book tour.
“What Happened” ?
Call for more genocide of people who look Caucasian and throw some more riots with arson. That should help.
Be sure to protest a lot when the NBA starts it’s season.
Hey now. Math is your friend.
Deliver an even bigger majority in 2018 to set up redistricting in 2020.
Here are some real math numbers.
1st. 2018 is not going to end well for them. They have 25 seats up, with 11 vulnerable. Compare that to the Republicans who have only seats up with merely 2 vulnerable.
Let’s just say losing 30% cor the Dems would be a friggin disaster but, not as bad as 2020....more later.
2nd. SCOTUS...3 more turns at bat over the next 8 years.
3rd. Federal Judges. Over the next 7.5 years we will realign more than 1/2 or more than 700 Federal Judges and may even break up pesky courts like the 9th.
Hell, we could replace a few annoying judges in Hawaii.
4th. The Wall.
5th. Obamacare will be repealed.
6th. Lower Capital gains tax and offer enticing tax advantages to repatriate some of the $3 Trillion offshore and put that capital to work investing in factories and new business ideas.
This will invigorate the economy.
7th. 2020. Dems have 11 Senate seats up, compared to 22 for Republicans.
We probably have a net gain of 3 for the Senate.
All 435 seats in Congress are up but, if we can get the issues of healthcare coverage, The economy and the wall in progress as well at least SCOTUS we will probably have an increase in the house as well(I am still studying that batlefield and don’t have numbers yet)
So why all the fighting from the Dems and these charges which are no more than vapor?
Well, their product sucks. Its a stew of hate, Socialism/Marxist utopian ideals and more segregation of society by invented classes of aggrieved people.
But, the real kicker is this about Reapportionment. Can you say Entropy?
8. Yeah that’s right. With more wins under the belt of the Republicans we will have a larger swath of land to carve up because the census will take place, which the predicate for redistricting and guess who wins that fight no matter what?
Republicans and we get an increase in key states we will continue to win. Alabama, Georgia and Florida will gain 1 more representative in the house, who will likely be a Republican
However, Texas will gain 3 or 4 representatives locking up the south for Republicans over the next decade.
So, in 2020 we will gain further majorities in the house and senate, redistrict in our favor, we will be in the middle of an economy that out performs all other nations, 2 SCOTUS or more will be seated in our favor, 300-400 Federal judges are seated Obamacare/Check, Tax Policy/Check, The Wall/Check, Fair Trade/Check, ISIS Dead/Check, Russia petitions for statehood (jus kee dean), Trump Re-elected / Yuge Check.
And the dems wander the wilderness for 10 years because they stand zero chance of doing anything significant after 2020.
And the DNC is not only running an insane $3.5 million dollars in debt but, their fundraising is at the lowest in 14 years.
And they have no candidate for 2020 as yet but, their current financial or intellectual leadership.
Oh, and that Trump meme “ He’s going to step down!” Uhmmm...Boo Chit.
He’s already fundraising for his 2020 PAC with $12,000,000 cash on hand.
That’s right. After disbursements he’s got $12 million.
That’s debt free money.
Oh, and the RNC is cash flow positive with $44,000,000 in the bank.
I ask you, at this point, who is going to win?
Conclusion:
Democrats are so broke they can’t pay attention and have zero money to support any war but.
Cheap azz Chinese knockoff of an intellect.
So, get use to Donald Trump being president for 8 years.
Sadly, Soros will cover the difference, unless Sessions acts.
...unless, so we hope, eventually, something comes of it.
“We probably have a net gain of 3 for the Senate.”
Do you mean after the 2020 elections or after the 2018 elections?
I think we’ll get more than that in 2018. The Rs have a great shot at 6 seats. This will cause liberals to enter a meltdown phase unlike any we’ve ever seen before.
In 2020, Maine, Colorado, and maybe Iowa are the most vulnerable R seats. If Trump lives up to expectations, I can’t see us losing seats in those states.
Still, I’ve been enthusiastic before (i.e. after 2004) only to see my hopes and dreams smashed :-).
I interpret this as the post-election panic donation well has run dry.
