Donating to the DNC a good idea?

If I want to make sure my donation goes to the eventual nominee, to beat Trump, would the best way be to donate to the Democratic National Committee rather than my candidate of choice? Because they will be helping to fund that person in the general election. Am I correct? Would they be able to use it for preparations even during the primary season?

You can wait until there is a nominee and then give directly to the candidate's campaign. George II Jan 2020 #1

The candidates are focusing their attention (and spending) in States important to the Primary process. The DNC is focusing on States that will be important to the General Election (WI/MI/PA/FL/AZ etc).

I prefer to donate to the Texas state party or down ballot candidates. I just contributed to a fund to get vote by mail applications sent to small counties. These is a great way to get out the vote
