I don’t know what meds James Carville is taking right now, but his solution to the train wreck that is the DNC is eminently mockable! According to the “Ragin’ Cajun,” David Hogg is the one who will save the DNC’s bacon. Yes, really.

Before I get to the Hoggster, let’s recap the DNC train wreck and add new information courtesy of the NY Times performing actual journalism. 

As I wrote the other day, the DNC held an emergency meeting earlier this summer. A meeting that came with a mandatory NDA requirement. 

Well, now we are finding out the rest of the story. 

The Democratic Party is so short on cash that leaders at its headquarters have undertaken a new gambit to mask the severity of the problems: asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm elections.

The bookkeeping maneuver, which was described by three people briefed on it, is the latest sign of financial duress for the Democratic National Committee and its embattled leader as money troubles threaten to undercut Democratic momentum with 100 days until the midterms.

That’s …quite the ask isn’t it? Begging vendors to pony up their time, resources, employees, and money for the DNC and they …MIGHT get paid after the mid-terms? 

So the venders have to gamble on them winning the midterms and somehow being able to find the money they owe? That sounds like a bad plan but if the DNC can’t convince anyone to donate to them even with Trump in office they’re not going to suddenly find money after the midterms. https://t.co/Djd1ALbxy5

Keep in mind, this is the DNC that helped Kamala burn through over $1 BILLION dollars in less than four months and is still paying down that debt. 

That and the drying up of donor funding is what led to June’s emergency NDA meeting. DNC Chair Ken Martin is evidently getting more isolated and, at one point was so frustrated, he threw his phone at someone. 

Democrats, elected and donors, aren’t letting the burial of the 2024 autopsy go. I do have to laugh that Kamala is one of those who wants it public. We ALL know she figures prominently in that particular train wreck. 

Martin even penned a major SubStack essay that laughably claimed the DNC was doing just fine financially. 

The current DNC has raised the most money of any DNC without the White House in the 198-year history of the Democratic Party.

Through June 2026, this DNC reported total receipts of more than $207 million. During the comparable 18-month period of the last Trump-era cycle, when Democrats were also out of the White House and rebuilding toward a midterm election, the DNC reported $109 million. That means the current DNC has reported total receipts of nearly $100 million more – roughly 90 percent more – than the most relevant historical comparison.

The DNC raised, from grassroots donors (under $10,000) and major gift donors (over $10,000), $154.8 million through June 2026, compared with $95.2 million over the comparable 18-month period in 2017–2018. That is a nearly $60 million advantage—approximately 63% more.

The monthly fundraising pace tells the same story. The current DNC is averaging about $8.6 million per month, compared with about $5.3 million per month during the comparable period. That is roughly $3.3 million more each month, or about 62% higher.

Oh? Oh really? If the DNC is raking in the bacon, how come they are begging vendors to hold off on their invoicing until after the mid-terms? If they really do have that much cash, how come they put a mortgage on the DNC headquarters?

The Democratic National Committee put its physical headquarters up for collateral last year in order to obtain a $15 million line of credit to help invest in off-year elections, according to D.C. deed records not previously reported.

The building, located in Southeast Washington and partially owned by the DNC, has been used as collateral in the past, including in other election cycles. That the DNC had to do so again ahead of the 2026 elections to obtain its biggest-ever off-year loan raised concerns among some members that it was further evidence of its intensifying financial strain.

A $15 million dollar line of credit, and over $700,000 in interest on that line of credit, and they STILL can’t pay their vendors?? 

The contrast between the DNC and the RNC in terms of funding is glaring. 

Checking in on Democrat fundraising this cycle so far:

CLF has $52 million more COH than HMP.

The DNC is worth -$2.2 million dollars while the RNC has $128.5 million COH.

The NRSC has $14.9 million more COH the DSCC.

And the NRCC has $13.7 million more COH than the DCCC.… https://t.co/5PV1yQamz7 pic.twitter.com/T7QHEvy0KN

The DNC debt load is probably greater than that. Especially when one factors in which donors are likely sitting this one out and why. 

Jewish donors account for 50% of the donations that fuel the Democratic Party and its candidates. If you think the anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric coming from the socialist entryists in the party isn’t making donors sit back this cycle, you’re wrong. https://t.co/yxGGOQRll9

When you have prominent Democrats along with the DNC staying silent on the increasing anti-Semitism and embracing the DSA who are literally advocating for the overthrow of this country, you can darned well bet many are sitting this one out. 

Which leads me to James Carville and his solution for this mess. David Hogg could be the savior of the DNC. 

And at the end of the day, who cares? I mean, maybe they want to try to get themselves together, some of them are lovely people…there’s Ken Martin. Maybe they ought to figure out, maybe they could be somewhat relevant. I have no idea. If David Hogg wants to take it over, then, I ain’t stoping you — go ahead, man, I don’t really care. And I don’t think at the end of the day, well, it might be fine people —I know some of them are not particularly determined.

David Hogg? The one who couldn’t even run a successful business? The one Carville blasted just a year ago? The one who got dumped from the DNC and thought Jasmine Crockett was da bomb diggity? THAT David Hogg? 

The jokes just write themselves at this point.
