Billionaire Donors Withholding Cash From Democrat Party – Slam Weak DNC as ‘Ineffectual’ |

The Democratic Party’s Financial Dilemma: A Crisis Unfolds

The Democratic Party finds itself in a precarious financial situation, one that could make even the most seasoned budgeter break into a cold sweat.

It’s not hard to understand why major donors are turning off the money tap. The DNC spent over two billion dollars last fall, and instead of translating that into electoral victories, the cash seemed to vanish into a black hole of inefficiency and self-enrichment.
