‘It’s too much’: Democrats shudder at Trump’s money machine
By David Siders, Maggie Severns and Natasha Korecki
October 21, 2019


Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have raised more than $300 million this year for his reelection — more than any other sitting president in history at this point in the campaign.

Trump has nearly twice as much cash on hand — $158 million, between his campaign account and the RNC — as Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee had at this time in his successful re-election run.

Already this year, Trump’s campaign operation has spent close to $23 million on TV and digital advertising, more than 10 times the amount that the lone major Democratic super PAC spending against him, Priorities USA, has laid out so far in its online-only spending campaign.

Democrats are growing increasingly alarmed by the spending chasm between the two sides — and its implications for the general election.

No no, remember they told us he has lost his supporters.

There is nothing to see here.

Good, he will need it to fight the media and the Tech companies that have no limits on their ability to wage war against him and conservatives everywhere....

They probably knew he'd mop the floor with that cuck Romney.

I agree this is what scares them more than the money.

If we had an honest media and fair DOJ, Trump! could spend about $10 million to get re-elected.

His Billionaire backers, large donors, and even small common people, are just helping him try to level the playing field vs the partisan MSM and do-nothing-Dem politicians that use every second to slander a very successful Presidency.

The left-leaning uber rich reliably back the Dem candidate. The elite mix has historically been far closer to 50-50.

With Warren or Sanders, even if the limousine liberals don't contribute to Trump, that's going to be a shite ton of money on the sideline.

Hasn’t President Trump also set a record for the amount of donors contributing?

That is almost even more telling of his success.

That is a lot of money that Rebekah Mercer's company Cambridge Analytica can perform targeted political data analysis for Trump.

That’s the difference this election. Last election Hillary absolute smoked the RNC funding especially with special interest Super PACs.

HRC $204M - DJT $73M
