Dim Party Is Broke

Upcoming Kansas election could be a bellwether for the rest of nation where the dim party is concerned.
Tomorrow's special election to fill the House seat vacated by Rep. Mike Pompeo is exposing just how broke the Dim party really is.
This is an extremely important election for the Dims, but they couldn't even cough a mere 20 grand for mailers. :biggrin:

The special election for Kansas' 4th Congressional District has caused an open feud between the Democratic candidate and his state party.
James Thompson has a beef with the state party after it refused to give his campaign $20,000, the Wichita Eagle reported. Thompson's campaign said it wanted to use the money for mailers, but the party's executive committee voted against the request, saying it didn't have the money...

Thompson is facing Republican State Treasurer Ron Estes and Libertarian Chris Rockhold to replace Mike Pompeo, who is now President Donald Trump's CIA director. The election is April 11.
A poll from Washington-based Lincoln Park Strategies done for Thompson showed he trailed Estes, 56 percent to 32 percent. Rockhold got only 4 percent.

I wonder how all those lower-tier Donks (in ANY state) will feel when the party finances REALLY tighten and only the name-brand morons get any party cash at all. These people are only the tip of Ye Olde Titanic-killer.

Here it is, the only race at this time and they can't even let go of 20 Grand?
Two things here, one, the party is obviously flat ass broke, and two, what little they do have isn't about to be wasted on a sure loss. :thumbsup:

If they can't afford mailers I suppose radio and tv spots are out of the question.

You mean this $8 Million?

Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff Raises $8.3M
95 percent of first quarter donations came from out of state.

If he doesn't win by 50% in the first race he has to run against the top contender. He is the leader right now with 45% but in a republican district I think he will lose in the run off! Even if he was to pull it off he could never hold that seat in the general 1 1/2 years from now
