"SNIP......

“House Republican leaders privately conceded in a closed meeting Tuesday morning that they are in the midst of a full-blown fundraising crisis, which would imperil any chance they have at regaining their majority in 2020,” Politico reports.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) put it bluntly: “They are kicking our ass.”

They should look at themselves and what they've done to bring about Trump. It seems this is kind of the place it's all been heading for decades - chickens and roosting and all.

Time will tell if they've waited too long, and the whole shebang is already plunging toward the bottom of the canyon.

Let us use their dismay as our goad. We could see another blue wave in 2020 if we keep working hard.

they have an entire Right Wing media network - Fox News, One America and Sinclair Broadcasting for TV; Rush Limbaugh and dozens of imitators on talk radio, and hundreds of local and regional newspapers across the country.

Democrats have MSNBC (mostly), Comedy Central and that's about it.

The other media bends over backwards for "both sides"

Text for the twitter-deprived:

A flush RNC is paying Trump’s private lawyers defending him at impeachment trial — unlike Bill Clinton, who left the White House with millions of dollars in legal bills and “dead broke.”

biased in anything and everything, that they can't tell that a good majority of the US public doesn't support them?

And besides, rump is stealing all of the fundraising being done, for him only, right in front of their faces.

And of course they won't acknowledge that anything is wrong. They'll ignore polls, facts, actual witnesses, numbers and/or results, unless it is by Faux News.

And of course, If too many facts or numbers are on a single piece of paper, the republicans, like rump, will throw a temper tantrum because it's too hard for them to comprehend.

Can't imagine Russia letting Dems take charge simply for lack of GOP donations.

They are spending unfettered Dark Money instead, under shadow and unregulated.
