Every Davis campaign donor should watch the Kermit Gosnell documentary.
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Never before has a filibuster in support of infanticide been so lucrative, but Texas State Senator Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) just keeps raking in the campaign cash. Let there be no mistake; the pro-abortion crowd is all-in when it comes to Davis. There’s nothin’ quite like puttin’ all your money on this kinda blue.
Via the Houston Chronicle (AP):
Republican Greg Abbott and Democrat Wendy Davis filed reports Wednesday, revealing a mix of donors small and large — including one giving $1 million to Davis. As a result, both candidates have collected more than $11 million in the first six months of campaigning, a potential record-setting pace for fundraising in a Texas gubernatorial election.
Davis, who became an overnight Democratic star with her filibuster of abortion limits last summer in the Texas Capitol, faces the challenge of keeping up the fundraising pace after the
momentum of that nationally followed event wears off. She’s widely expected to need more than $40 million to stand a chance in Texas, which hasn’t elected a Democrat to a statewide office in 20 years.
“They said it couldn’t be done,” Davis tweeted about her $12.2 million in donations since she became a candidate, including a joint fund with the Democratic group Battleground Texas.
For Davis, a Fort Worth state senator, the largesse helps legitimize her longshot bid in fiercely conservative Texas. Abbott keeping pace with $11.5 million further swells the bankroll of the state’s longtime attorney general, who’s now sitting on $27 million.
Davis-supporting Democrats (what other kind of Democrats are there) are dreaming big and they’re on offense big time. The effort to turn Texas blue isn’t just about scoring a touchdown with “Abortion Barbie”; it’s about moving the ball down the field and giving Democrats hope that one day the party that embraces the culture of death will be in charge.
If it wasn’t for her filibuster, her sneakers, and her support for infanticide, Davis would be as obscure as she was before that filibuster. One issue – and one issue alone – has put her on this ride. Like all things Democrat, uniting behind a common cause against the opposition is more important than stopping to consider what the cause is.
Every donor to Davis’ campaign should watch the Kermit Gosnell documentary. Few, if any, will.
Why? It might give them second thoughts about their cause and we can’t have that.
Better to just close your eyes and bet on blue.
