It looks like Congressional Republicans are going to have to gird up their loins for a real fight in 2018. According to Vice News, ActBlue has received over 4 million dollars in donations since the monumentally awful healthcare vote yesterday. The DCC is also feeling its oats: they’ve reported their best fundraising day since March, and are rolling out a digital ad campaign targeting Republicans in vulnerable districts. And it’s been less than a day since the vote took place.
The more money rolls in the more press we get, the more people know about where to donate, and the more Republicans start gnawing on their cuticles and glancing around for the exits. Boost the links on Facebook! Text your friends! Let’s keep the donations coming! I want the obnoxious “Republicans Win!” stories on the news tonight drowned out by an ocean of headlines about how the public is so horrified by what Republicans have done that they’ve broken grassroots fundraising records in order to drive the callous jerks out of their districts.
