One of the more amusing features of the 2020 Democrat primary for president is the main-streaming of Obama and how that’s bad. He’s been backbenched as a lousy insider who couldn’t get it done. By the left. And now the DNC has just undone another of his legacies.

GOP Launches WinRed – A Republican Version of ActBlue
ActBlue has been around for 15 years raising hundreds of millions in small dollar donations for Democrats at every level. Republicans have made no serious effort to compete effectively at that level until now. And you probably have Donald Trump to thank for that.
RNC has Raised 30 Million So Far in the First Two Months of the Year
I’m not sure why I care, but the Republican National Committee is raising a lot of dough. $15.5 million in January and $14.6 million in February. Both are records for these months in a non-election year.

NH GOP – a riff on the E-board angst reported by DiStaso – Part III
Oh, one other thing that Steve Duprey said to John DiStaso about NH GOP State Member fundraising: Duprey said that especially after a poor GOP showing on election day, “Anyone who thinks you don’t need adequate resources in what has become a purple state is dreaming.” Agreed that there is a need, but it is … Read more
