What may be most significant about Clinton’s total, however, is not the $62 million she raised for her own campaign but the $81 million she took in for the Democratic National Committee and state parties. That portion dwarfs what Obama and Mitt Romney raised for their parties during this period four years ago. And it signals an aggressive effort by Clinton to extend her coattails far down the ballot as Democrats try to take back control of Congress, governorships, and state legislative chambers that they lost during the Obama era.
Trump had a tiny measure of authenticity stemming from his promise to finance his own campaign. When he found out that campaigning for president entails more than just flying around in your own airplane and shooting off your mouth (which is probably how he spends his time anyway) he decided he needed "help" from the Party.
Goodbye, Credibility! Say hello to Bernie when you see him!
I didn't realize there'd be so little ticket-splitting. Back in the days of mechanical voting machines, in IL and CO at least, there was one lever you could pull to vote a straight party ticket. (Of course in Chicago the Republican one was often broken, just like the Democratic one downstate.) I just presumed that in these days of knitting-needle voting and "permanent" absentee ballots, you had to vote candidate by candidate. We can uze more good newz for Hillz!

68 more days. Just 68 more days and we can actually vote and figure out who wins.
If she was a guy, would she have to have raised $200 million? So unfair.
