Is this fixable? And if so, what is the solution?

It seems this funding shortfall is a more dire situation if you are seeking to take back state legislatures and governors mansions in time for the 2020 redistricting cycle, as opposed to Congressional races.

Maybe kicking all the berniecrats out and bringing in cheater Donna Brazile has something to do with it.

Most people just donate to the DCCC now, or the individual campaigns.

But politicians praised Nancy because she could fundraise. Looks like that was code for fudraise for our consultants.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Pelosi raised 25 million for the DCCC over the summer. She has nothing to do with the DNC, which's importance has been inflated.

The above poster is delusional and wrong. As usual.

LOL at the spin that somehow that $8 million fundraising advantage the Democrats have in the House and Senate committees makes up for a $47 million disadvantage in the national committees.

Also, Republicans still have more total cash on hands for the congressional committees.

Both of you are ignoring how well the DCCC has been doing in terms of fundraising. But that would go against the narrative your trying to create.

Already addressed, and the DCCC has a $9 million cash on hand disadvantage. Maybe they shouldn't have blown so much money on Jon Ossoff?

Disbursement to special elections is drastically higher. Money isn't doing any good just sitting in the DCCC's accounts. And as long as fundrasing continues near or at current levels, it isn't a problem.

Then again, I shouldn't expect anything less from a Leninist.

Aren't House Democratic candidates outraising Republican candidates/incumbents across the board right now? The DCCC/DSCC's numbers are fine, and if the DNC wanted more money, then they should stop sucking so much. As for Republicans, doesn't it make sense that they would be raking in more cash, given that they control the entire federal government?

Oh, spending money intelligently is one thing, but that did not describe the money wasted on Jon Ossoff, while ignoring the 3 other races, 2 of which had Berniecrats.

Yeah, but don't tell Republican troll jfern that. The Party in power is kinda supposed to be raking it in. If they weren't, that'd be particularly embarrassing. Jfern just wants to pretend he's some sort of liberal Bernie Bro (somehow) still bitter about 2016, but I think it's become quite clear that s/he's just a Republican in disguise.

Telling people who criticize establishment Democrats that they must be a Republican isn't helping. How about not having establishment Democrats suck? The DNC told Bernie people to go screw themselves, so no surprise that they stopped donating.

Yes and it is getting to the point that the GOP is starting to worry.

Of course this goes against jfern's narrative.....

If you combine the amount of money the Democrats have been making as a whole (DCCC, DNC, Individual candidates, Liberals PACs) They far out raise the Republicans. Conservatives aren't very energized about 2018 and I'm sure congressional republicans aren't very optimistic.

People feel differently about giving money to individual candidates than to the party itself, obviously.
