DNC raises $67 million in 2017, half of RNC’s haul
The Democratic National Committee saw a fundraising uptick, but is not close to keeping pace with its GOP counterpart.
The Democratic National Committee will report raising $5.2 million in December, bringing its total 2017 fundraising to $67 million, according to paperwork that will be filed Wednesday.
That figure includes $1.2 million raised by the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between the national and state parties launched in October, and over $30 million in grass-roots donations —averaging $21 dollars each — overall.
The total is slightly ahead of the party's haul in 2013 and 2015, the previous off-years when Democrats had the benefit of a president from their party in the White House. It's far behind the behind the $108 million that the DNC raised in 2011, however.
It also badly trails the Republican National Committee, which raised $11.1 million in December for a 2017 total of $132.5 million.
The RNC has $38.8 million cash on hand. The DNC will report $6.5 million cash on hand, but its debt is now $6.2 million.
lol @ anyone who thinks Texas turns Blue.
I would add Joe Manchin (WV) to that list but he's turned into a closet conservative and has been highly supportive of Trump's agenda on Taxes and immigration, he knows how to keep his job (though I'm not sure it will help in November).

He's going to check the proverbial tea leaves before the next election, and then decide if he wants to run as a Democrat or Republican.
Here's NPR's attempt to spin the huge disparity in party turnout
It would take a double digit percentage shift in party alignment to make Texas Blue this November 2018.
Despite Democrats being "motivated" with Donald Hate.
Call it the Blue Flush.
