They passionately protect the VAN. It doesn’t surprise me Party leadership got pissed off about the story and wrote a fake cover story about it being a false alarm. They don’t want their mega donors being afraid of VAN security breaches.

There are a whoooole bunch of reasons so its hard to boil it down completely, but a few of them are probably
-Rep 2016 election successes
-Republicans tend to have higher incomes
-Republicans tend to donate more to charitable causes
-DNC had the security breach

Both parties have the presence of a few super wealthy donors so its more than just that

Being pro business. the DNC can flood in money grass roots when they have a compelling candidate. wheeling out dinosaur zombies like Waters, Pelosi, Schumer, etc doesnt inspire anyone.

good point about Grass roots $, I bet the dems are better at that than the G.O.P. at least.
