MACDONALD: Republicans Surging Toward Midterms

The handmaiden media doesn’t want you to know this. The Democrats have a massive enthusiasm gap compared to Republicans.

  • GOP Massive Money Advantage.
  • DNC is still suffering from the “Kalama was awful” fallout.
  • Democrats still have no message.
  • Left’s Fundraising Operations in Trouble.

The media won’t air any of the Left’s laundry, but there’s a lot of it, and it’s dirty.

Based on the most recent FEC filings, Republicans and allies have raised an historic $939 million ahead of the November midterms, more than triple Democrats’ $267 million haul. The funding gap, Bloomberg bluntly noted, “gives Republicans a major advertising advantage” in the midterm congressional elections, which is true, but kind of misses the point. It’s like saying that being 50 pounds heavier gives an MMA fighter “a major movement advantage.”

Want to feel even better about this rather large and growing disparity and the vast inequity of it all?

The Democrats have had fundraising issues since Kamala overspent, leaving them with hundreds of millions in debt; expenses that included buying influencers, celebrities, and Oprah Winfrey. Money not well spent as Harris walked away with zero swing states and an electoral and popular vote drubbing.

For reasons we won’t get into, she couldn’t swing the extra 17 million votes credited to Cabbage Head Joe Biden in 2020, but the fact that they didn’t “turn out” to stop Trump a second time may be even more embarrassing.

She was so awful that her party couldn’t even be bothered to steal an election for her. I know, I wasn’t going to talk about it, but the poor performance has made past check writers shy and moved others into the center-right governing category. Harris, her campaign, the DNC, and the minority Leadership sucked that much, and the party still has nothing to run on but hate them, and we’re not them.

Anyway.

Consider what it takes to raise money. People have to want what you or your party or its leaders are not just offering but delivering, and that you will continue to do exactly that. People are giving more money to Republican candidates and causes, legally, than to Democrats.

The other ass in the donkey fundraising room is what has happened since Trump took Office that might be impacting the dearth of funds finding its way to Dems.

While not neutered, the NGO laundromat took a serious hit. This problem takes several forms. The proglodytes running them no longer have disposable income if they have any at all. Their operations lack the resources to do anything useful but whine, which means no staff donations and no in-kind activism. The latter covers articles, white papers, and fake expert reports or opinions that the media can use to spread disinformation. The other is the boots-on-the-ground variety. There is a lot less of both.

The taxpayer welfare fraud pipeline has been hit with a number of explosive exposure operations, indictments, arrests, and unfavorable sentencing. Tens if not hundreds of billions have been pinched or will be, putting the fraudsters in a position where, if they have given to Democrats in the past, it’d be a bad idea to do it again now.

Act Blue Fraud. Act Blue is alleged to have engaged in multiple acts of campaign finance fraud, many of which you have read about or seen elsewhere. Thousands of micro-transactions using accounts of people who, when asked, never gave a dime to anyone ever. Not checking credit cards, allowing foreign donations. If for no other reason than this, we need a Republican Congress in 2027-2028so the people committing the fraud and benefiting from it can be indicted, tried, and sent to jail.

ActBlue sits under a hot DOJ microscope. The DOJ is poised to pounce like a Siamese cat crouching in a bush, waiting for the bird to land. Most of ActBlue’s board and all of its lawyers have quit, like morbidly obese rats toppling off the Titanic’s deck into the sea. Just as suddenly, the “Democrat small‑donor enthusiasm” story has vanished into the 2026 mist, even though polls claim that Democratic voters are just as riled up as in 2018.

Apparently, riled-up voters aren’t necessarily donors. Or, maybe the truth is that only partisan Democrats are riled up, and Democrat-leaning voters are tired, skeptical, and not interested in getting any more text messages from ActBlue.

If Republicans have a clear path through 2028 and, assuming the MAGA primary wins keep up, a better Republican Majority caucus*, Trump can try to finish the job he started, and Democrat activists will get even more violent, making their 2028 chances dismal at best.

*It is worth noting how majorities work, even if leadership is not exactly the best option. Adding a few or a few dozen motivated freshmen creates or adds to a voting bloc. That influence puts squishy leadership in a position where it has to concede much more than it otherwise might. It can also improve the makeup of leadership, so let’s hope for the best and hold our noses if we must to make sure Trump has a Republican Majority.

House chairmanships. No wasted time on fake impeachments or partisan investigations meant to keep Trump from dismantling the left’s illegal money laundering operations.

Language warning!

And for the black-pilled, doomer freaks who think we should make the election about the Iran war, or Israel fuck off. Even if any of that were true, Trump and Republicans are the only force of political nature willing to continue the dismantling of government, exposing fraud, cutting more taxes, getting boys out of girls’ bathrooms, securing energy independence, creating a real, affordable economy, and looking for other ways to put regular Americans first.

If you stay home or (God help us) help Democrats over that, you deserve what you get, but the rest of us don’t. We have a once-in-a-generation, and perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put the extremist left into a political grave that will give rational working-class Democrats the chance to take their party back or replace it with something approaching normal.

We’ve worked for days in small ways to get here, and if we lose, we probably lose everything we gained and everything we ever could.

The momentum is clearly behind MAGA, so let’s keep building that, exposing Democrat malfeasance, and crush the left in November – at every level of government.
