    They’re going to pull a Hillary and spend all the money for the party on the presidential race, and spend it poorly.

    If Dems pull their head out their asses we could have control of the House, Senate, and Presidency again.

    It’ll probably be wasted again, but there’s a good shot they’d at least pass a budget on time.

      If by presidential race you mean Trump’s legal bills, then sure.

      I’m curious to see if they can properly fund the convention this year. The 2016 RNC was around $65M, and by current reporting, they don’t have enough in the bank to cover the inflation on that figure. Certainly, some money must have been already spent, so it’s not like they need the entire figure right now, but they do still need a lot of it. Maybe they can get a loan and make it work, but that only drags down funding other things even more.
