Democratic candidates are reporting historic early fundraising totals, alarming GOP strategists and raising the prospect that 2018 could feature the most expansive House battlefield in years.

Animated by opposition to President Donald Trump and the Republican congressional majorities, at least 162 Democratic candidates in 82 GOP-held districts have raised over $100,000 so far this year, according to a POLITICO analysis of the latest FEC data. That’s about four times as many candidates as House Democrats had at this point before the 2016 or 2014 elections, and it’s more than twice as many as Republicans had running at this point eight years ago, on the eve of capturing the House in the 2010 wave election.

Nearly three dozen Republican incumbents were outraised by Democratic challengers in the third quarter of this year – a stunning figure. Nine GOP incumbents already trail a Democratic opponent in cash on hand, increasing the likelihood that many veteran incumbents will face tough opposition for the first time in years.

The Democrats’ fundraising success, especially from a glut of candidates who have never run for office before, is unsettling to those charged with protecting the GOP majority.

“That’s something that should get every Republican’s attention in Washington,” said Jason Roe, a Republican strategist who works on House races. “These first-timers are printing money."
 
Money doesn't buy elections. Ask Hillary.
 
This isn't 2016, even the republicans are worried.

Yes, 2016 ended almost 11 months ago. This is like a whole new century. :roll:

Republicans should be worried but not because Trump hating liberals are opening their wallets.
 
Its not just Trump hating liberals, its the vast majority of citizens who despise this liar and coward.

Money does not equate to winning seats, get back to us when the Dems have something to show for all that $$. The Dems need to a prove they can win something, anything? Darn Trump sucks, but the Dems are a bunch of ******s.

Not that I think the GOP will necessarily do very well in the election, but didn’t Clinton far outspend Trump?
 
Money does not equate to winning seats, yet candidates, national political organizations are consumed with raising as much as possible. each year the amounts raised increase dramatically yet you tell us that money isn't that important.
 
Lets stop raising money and see what happens.

So the Dems. are the best at selling political influence. "In our annual DNC profit and loss report, sales are up 30%.!!"
 
I am sure you were happy when republican candidates out raised Democrats, or the SC decision that allowed corporations almost unlimited donations.
You are just another hypocrite.

The question should be: "Who are the donors?" My guess is a lot of it is laundered PAC money from the defeated democrats of '16.

And Floridafan, you need to post a link.

We don't need more money, we just need our voters to get their asses out to vote.

Carter didn't seem to believe that story. And as a former President he is well briefed.
 
The Demos can raise millions all they want. It's up to the American people to vote whoever they want.
This hasn't work, asked our President if you have a chance. The former regime already knows.

Not as much as we thought. Putin spent 10's of millions for Trump that was not counted.

My suspicion is that the Russian impact was less due to the amount spent on advertising than to the infection of minds and desertion in the ranks. Liberals did not vote.
