April 18, 2018 at 10:55 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Cook Political Report: The newest FEC filings spell danger for Republicans. In the most recent fundraising period, Democrats outraised Republicans in at least 60 GOP-held seats, more than twice the 23 seats Democrats need for a majority. Meanwhile, the reverse is true in just five Democratic-held seats. Thats going to force the NRCC and Congressional Leadership Fund to bail out a lot of cash-strapped GOP candidates come the fall.
In light of the most recent FEC filings, were updating our ratings in seven districts, all reflecting improved Democratic prospects.

Koch's $400 million will be thinly spread with zero guarantee of supporting "winners"...Kochs will have to decide if they want to have zero access/influence with a new democratic House.

Some shadowy entity that they of course needn't disclose thank's to Citizen's U, then they'll donate it all to the RNC.
Donation $$$ problem solved.
