Power Briefing: Senate Dems outside group raises eye-popping $22 million in first quarter

Source: Politico

PLAYBOOK SCOOP … MASSIVE QUARTER for SENATE MAJORITY PAC … The top Senate Democratic super PAC raised $22,236,533 in the first quarter of 2018, and they have $26 million on hand. THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY STRONG HAUL for the outside group.

-- THE STUNNER: Many of these super PACs have a sister non-profit group, which doesn’t have to disclose its donors. SMP is not releasing that group’s fundraising totals. BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT: The Democratic super PAC alone outraised Senate Leadership Fund and all of its sister organizations. DEM SUPER PAC: $22 million. CONSTELLATION OF REPUBLICAN GROUPS: nearly $13.9 million. BUT, BUT, BUT the GOP groups have $34.4 million cash-on-hand.

-- JB PORSCHE, the president of SMP: “Our opportunities in the Senate improve with every passing month.”

Smile, brag and show off that they can make lots of money in fundraising. Rub it in the cons faces how well we are doing. Show the voters we have lots of supporters, too. We need good publicity that looks fun and exciting to young and old alike. We need the excitement factor. Go dems go.

Will flip over to the Democrats, especially as long as trump is in the White House, is still talking and tweeting, and more daily gets exposed what they've done to this country. Both Houses in Congress will soon be under the Democrats control, and only then will we be able to serve justice again to these criminals presently in office . The GOP won't, especially when they've deeply involved in corruption with trump.
