Too little, too late

From:replies@actblue.com To: john.podesta@gmail.com Date: 2016-03-04 15:15 Subject: Too little, too late

Dear John, Donald Trump won the primaries in a whopping seven Super Tuesday state primaries and caucuses. And now GOP politicians are finally launching an anti-Trump campaign, with Mitt Romney holding a press conference yesterday where his sole purpose was to viciously tear into Trump and his platform. It's a big step, but odds are it's too little, too late. If Trump wins the nomination we'd be in an unprecedented situation. With an unpredictable authoritarian demagogue at the top of the GOP ticket, the election year rule book would go out the window. But one thing is clear, Trump as the nominee puts thousands of races across the country in play. That's why desperate establishment Republicans are panicking -- they're scared that they could lose their majorities in Congress and statehouses thanks to Trump. At ActBlue we're gearing up for our tools to be put to the test this year, as we'd be handling millions more contributions than we expected. Trump's campaign is only growing stronger, and that means we need to scale up our tools right now in order to be equipped to help thousands of Democrats win their races. Will you chip in $15 a month?

He's winning state after state in the primaries and his campaign doesn't show any signs of slowing. He's even funding his own campaign, so there's no fear of running out of resources and losing steam. The GOP knows that Trump winning against a Democrat is a long-shot, so they'll shift their focus to electing Republicans in the other races up and down the ballot in an all-out effort to protect their majorities. The reality is that Democrats in races of all shapes and sizes are facing down an absolutely critical election year. At ActBlue our platform is built for big moments like the ones we'll see this year, but our tech team needs to scale up and keep making improvements if we're going to continue providing cutting-edge fundraising tools to Democrats everywhere.
