Where's the Cash? DNC Has Yet to Give $10 Million Promised for Party Rebuilding Efforts
Townhall ^ | 01/21/2018 | Timothy Meads

In an attempt to rejuvenate the beleaguered Democratic party, DNC national chairman Tom Perez announced $10 million for state parties in hopes that the surge of cash would help rebuild the party after embarrassing 2016 losses across the board against the GOP. Yet, many state leaders are now worried that that money is never going to actually come, reports Vice News.

“What our fear is, is that no matter how high this wave is in 2018, that we won’t have the ability to take advantage of that and win governors races, congressional races, and state legislative races that would normally be out of reach but could be competitive,” Ray Buckley, New Hampshire Democratic Party chairman, told VICE News.

Democrats, who are hoping for a blue wave in response to Anti-Trump sentiment across the country, have struggled continuously with fundraising efforts since he end of 2016. As noted by Vice, the Democrat party did not even have $10 million on hand last November 30th. They had a measly $6.4 million compared to the GOP’s $39.8 million cash.

To make matters worse, according to Vice’s sources, DNC Chairman Perez hates his role. “Tom is just really miserable in the job, which is part of why it’s not going well,” said one Democratic official who has worked with Perez. “He hates the fundraising and says no to so much of the fundraising even though they are obviously not in good shape financially.”

“Clearly Tom inherited a shithole, not just in fundraising but in terms of morale as well,” Ken Martin, head of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and of the Association of State Democratic Chairs, told Vice.

Hillary has it. Ha Ha. Wait, she probably does.
Or Pelosi spent it on fancy dinners and first class flights for her and all her relatives and friends.

Drain The Swamp!

MAGA!

All the money the DNC received was vacuumed out by the Clinton cabal. It is now sitting in numbered accounts in Dubai and other places. Excess of $10 billion, plus capital gains. No one wants to talk about this at the DNC, because Seth Rich.

Surely, the Clintons committed a crime worthy of extradition the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

It would be choice to read the reports of those two criminals hanging by their ankles and getting flogged for their misdeeds.

Ah, what a thought. Perhaps, Hollyweird or Bollywood will pick up the movie rights for this plot line.
     /humor intended.

They are doing great in individual races. Moore was outraised 5 to 1. The problem the Dems have is that all their money is going towards high profile races. The question is whether they will lose many competitive races because the Democratic candidate there wasn’t up against some hugely-controversial candidate like Roy Moore. Because overall, the fund-raising numbers for both parties are about the same. Which means that lopsidedly huge dollar numbers for a given Democratic candidate will end up starving the remaining Dems of campaign funds.

Perhaps they are hoarding the big dollars for anticipated legal teams should the memo be released.
