If you ain’t got no money, take your broke self home.
Clearly, nobody at the Democratic National Committee has listened to the chart-topping Fergie and Ludacris collabo “Glamorous."
One thing is for sure—DNC Chairman Tom Perez has presided over a less than glamorous tenure at the head of the Democratic Party.
The DNC has been plagued with fundraising woes that leave them at a serious disadvantage compared to the Republican National Committee.
At the end of April, the RNC reported $45.6 million in contributions this year—while the DNC raised a paltry $19 million.
The RNC also reported no debt with almost $35 million in the bank. The DNC on the other hand had $7.6 million in cash and $6.2 million in debt.
They were even forced to take out a $10 million credit line to keep up. The DNC outraised and outspent their opponents in 2016and were dealt a crushing defeat at the hands of President Trump.
Since then, it would appear that Democrats across the country are deeming their party committee a poor steward of their money.
Here’s the bottom line: The reality is that cash matters when it comes to winning elections.
The DNC is pretty much broke and does not have a cohesive mission. So one has to wonder if they have any chance of remaining impactful in 2020.
