Pelosi pulls in staggering sums for Dems despite facing opposition in the ranks

(CNN)A number of Democrats running for the House have shunned Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi -- but they may have to thank her for their seats if they win this fall.
Internal documents obtained by CNN show that the California Democrat remains a fundraising juggernaut for House Democrats as they battle to pick up the 23 seats they need to retake the House majority for the first time since the GOP won control of the chamber in the 2010 midterms.
Through June, Pelosi had raised an eye-popping $83 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the 2018 election cycle, more than double the next closest Democrat, according to an internal list for the group charged with electing more Democrats to the US House of Representatives. A source briefed on the matter said that through July she had raised nearly $91 million for the party committee, which is spending big in hotly contested races including where Democratic candidates are running away from Pelosi.
Despite facing more opposition from Democrats than any other time in her career, Pelosi's fundraising strength remains her biggest asset -- a clear sign why she continues to maintain a hold atop her caucus. If Democrats retake the House in November, Pelosi is certain to use that appeal to try to convince even her skeptics to give her another opportunity to take the speaker's gavel.
Yet Democrats running in Republican-leaning districts are wary of being tied too closely to her -- even though her fundraising is certain to help bankroll DCCC ad campaigns in their districts.

Where do you think this money goes? Into Pelosi's pocket? 
Hinting of corruption. 
LOL, do you think they are looking for a return on that investment? If the athlete doesn't win a medal they have them wacked? They get to decide if the ballet companies do "Swan Lake" or "Walmart Lake"? The whole "every politician is corrupt" thing is silly. "I'm ready to learn"
