Unfortunate we are not this organized on the right to raise money for our own candidates. The Left is very organized in raking in tons and tons of cash from small donations - tens of millions, hundreds of millions - where our candidates many times can’t even raise $1 million, and being completely at the mercy of whether or not establishment PACs want to venture into their races.

There are almost certain 1 million conservatives who could afford to easily chip in $10 per nominee in each Senate and Governor’s race...and actually there are a lot more than that. We simply do not have the organization the Left has. Money is not everything, but it sure does help.

Good for them. they have no chance of winning, especially RFO. If he gets close to winning he’ll say something extremely outrageous so that he can’t win. He’s always been it it for the attention and money. You can almost say the same about the fat girl from GA.

The reason it’s good that they have so much money is that they’re taking that money from other dimocrat candidates who could better use it. They’re dooming their party but sucking up all the money.

I’ll give you Beto, but isn’t it some kind of “ist” to use gargantuan and Stacy Abrams in the headline?

Good, on them it’s just being pissed away.

I hear political consulting is a highly profitable career path. /s

I'm not surprised to see "Gargantuan" and "Stacey Abrams" mentioned in the same sentence.

Warnock raised even more for the senate race in Georgia, over $100 Million according to something I saw from the FEC.

You make this sound like these people are grifters.

I bet you think BLM was a scam, too.
