Grim outlook for Red wave as GOP fundraising plummets…

[citygator]

Republican online donations contracted from 965k down to 913k while democrats increased their donation pool from 1.9M to 2.5M people first half of this year.

I bet it has something to do with Russia sanctions tightening pulling money from the republicans.

Possible a result of Roe overturn, traitorous secret handling and insurrectionist fatigue as well.

GOP donor pool unexpectedly shrinks as midterms near - POLITICO

The drop in donor numbers means some people who had previously contributed to GOP candidates stopped giving, and Republicans did not recruit enough new donors to replace them. The dip coincided with a decline in total WinRed fundraising, as well as lower fundraising totals between the first and second quarters for key Republican groups.

“Republicans have known for a long time that we were behind in online fundraising,” said Eric Wilson, a Republican digital strategist. “There was always the assumption that we could catch up. Now we’re learning that it’s too late.”

Since the start of 2021, around 2 million people have given money to federal committees through WinRed, according to the POLITICO analysis of federal campaign finance filings. By contrast, more than 4.1 million gave federally through ActBlue over the same period.

In nine out of the 10 most competitive U.S. Senate races this cycle, Democrats have outraised their Republican counterparts. Fundraising alone does not decide elections, of course. Outside groups — often funded by deep-pocketed donors — can close some of the gaps for Republicans. But even those well-funded super PACs and nonprofits have finite resources, and the low online fundraising numbers have alarmed GOP professionals.

Well, we know where the money has gone.

The GOP doesn't need money to eject the commies. It'll happen all by itself.

Well. Scruffy...one thing we can count on..if,, by some chance, the Dems turn this election on its head..you'll be among the first to cry 'Cheaters'..at the top of your lungs, right?

Since we all know that the very act of winning by a Dem is proof of election fraud...LOL!

They'll be following the template and claiming fraud long before the actual elections.

Every time someone shops for groceries, democrats lose a voter.

This election there aren't any "persuadable voters", just pissed off voters.

The 75% "wrong track" number is the one that counts.

Olivia can't abort her fourth baby so she has given generously to the Democrats.

Meanwhile, Republicans are going to the grocery store and paying out their butt for groceries, gas and just trying to make it paycheck to paycheck. And COUNTING THE DAYS til they can vote scum out of office.

Happy? Proud?

Meet Kailee. A former antiabortion Republican

Why a woman's doctor warned her not to get pregnant in Texas | CNN

Kailee DeSpain says her doctor told her that before Texas' six-week abortion ban went into effect, she would have advised abortion as "the safest course for you [and] the most humane course of action for him." But the doctor said she could not offer her an abortion.

www.cnn.com

Last September, when a restrictive anti-abortion law took effect in Texas, Kailee pleaded on Facebook for people to contact their elected representatives to protect abortion rights.

In November, Kailee and Cade were overjoyed to learn that she was pregnant. Full of hope, they posted ultrasound pictures and a gender reveal video of a cannon shooting out blue confetti. They named their baby boy Finley.

Then, about three months later, they learned that Finley had heart, lung, brain, kidney and genetic defects and would either be stillborn or die within minutes of birth. Carrying him to term put Kailee at high risk for severe pregnancy complications, including blood clots, preeclampsia and cancer.

Even so, they could not get an abortion in Texas and fled to New Mexico.

Kailee and Cade have supported abortion rights since 2016, when she had a miscarriage at 16 weeks and was hospitalized for severe complications, including blood clots and infection. It was one of three miscarriages she had in the early years of marriage.

"It made me realize that pregnancy can be dangerous," she said. "It made me think of my little sisters, and I wanted them to be able to have a choice if they ever had to go through something like that."

Trolling your own thread?

You think the bleeding heart schtick is going to work on independents?

lmao !!!

 

[gipper]

It doesn’t matter which criminal party wins in November. Both are very similar as the both support the 1% and big corporations (their donors).

Though I will say it would nice to see Biden get impeached should the Rs win. If nothing else, to shut down the crazy acts of congress.

From what I've seen so far, it appears they're not going to put any blame on Dobbs for the decline. Someone is probably cheating. That's it.

I feel terrible for Kailee. What a heartbreak. But she knew she had a clotting disorder and had had three prior miscarriages when becoming pregnant with number four.

The existence of one Kailee does not excuse abortion the millions of healthy babies and pregnancies that we do yearly.

In all seriousness, I think it's a terrible sign that money plays such an important role in choosing our, uh, "leaders".

Their actions are going to follow the money. It will not be following principle or what's best for their constituents or for America.

We need to fix this system before it's too late.

The right leaning don't have the discretionary income right now to piss away on political donations. The dems must take EBT.

That’s your fantasy. Most Republican donations are larger donations by fewer people because the party is dominated by the 1%. Their money pushes the uneducated base of Republicans forward. Democrats are the party of small donations.

IRS Union Gives 100% of PAC Spending to Democrats​

Dems will increase size of their campaign war chests with vote to double the size of the IRS

The IRS employee union is a major funder of the Democratic party. Senate Democrats will vote for a bill today to hire and deploy 87,000 new agents — a doubling of the size of the agency which will further swell Democrats’ political campaign war chests.

In the past decade, the IRS union has given $601,759 in PAC funding to Democrat party committees.

All data is pulled from OpenSecrets:

The IRS employee union gives 100% of its PAC funding to Democrats in the 2022 cycle, including:

$30,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

$30,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee

$30,000 to the DNC Services Corporation, an entity tasked with “coordinating party organizational activities.”

The IRS employee union prioritized political donations to Democrats who happen to be in 2022 battleground races:

$5,000 to Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.)

$10,000 to Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.)

$5,000 to Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.)

$1,000 to Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.)

The IRS employee union gives 98.79% of its federal candidate spending to Democrats, including:

Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)

Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.)

Joaquin Castro (D-Texas)

Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.)

Over the next decade, doubling the size of the IRS will prove lucrative for the Democrat party.

Interesting how you compared dollar amounts with Republicans to people numbers when talking about Democrats.

The use of the words "grim" and "plummets" is a sign of desperation by left wing drama queens. The actual numbers haven't changed much.

Even so, they could not get an abortion in Texas and fled to New Mexico.

Really, they "fled"? Were they being pursued, or did they just get in the car and drive there fearlessly?
You emo-dingbats are hilarious.
