RNC raises millions more than DNC in July
Why anybody would give money to the RNC now?... I don't understand but they are.
RNC raises millions more than DNC in July
The Republican National Committee (RNC) expanded its massive fundraising lead over the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in July as the Democrats posted their worst July haul in a decade. The DNC raised just $3.8 million in July, compared to the $10.2 million raised by the RNC in the same month. While the GOP has no debt, the DNC added slightly to its debt in July, which now sits at $3.4 million.
The Democrats haven't raised that little money in a July since 2007, when the party raised $3.4 million. The Hill obtained the RNC's fundraising numbers ahead of the party's official filing with the Federal Election Commission, while the DNC posted its figures on Friday.
The vast fundraising gap gels with recent trends — the GOP has substantially out-fundraised its rivals since the start of 2017. The RNC raised $86.5 million through the first seven months of the year, while the DNC raised about $42 million. The GOP also has a huge advantage in cash on hand — $47.1 million to $6.9 million.

They are going to need it.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Even with all the disarray in the Administration and the GOP itself, the DNC does not have a coherent message for the public OR a good messenger. Till they can find their way through this their fund raising WILL be anemic.

Most of the BIG corporate money has always supported the R-Tribe. It's been that way for decades and will probably continue. But, hey, tell the voters eventually it will trickle down to them.

Wonder IF the money is still pouring in the same way from corporations. Many have deserted at least the man at the top so it seems. We will know when some of the numbers come out in print especially in relationship to previous years.

I'll go with the old adage, "more money than brains".
