Republicans might be riding a power high these days, but that doesn't mean the Democrats are only suffering.
Democratic online fundraising organization ActBlue (http://blog.actblue.com/2017/04/05/q1-2017-participation-is-skyrocketing/)reported this week what it raked in during the first quarter of 2017: $111,329,027.*
That's...a lot. Like, an astonishing amount. For the sake of comparison, over the same period in 2013, they collected just $16,904,456.
Again: $16M in 2013. $111M in 2017. In three months.
