And...? This is supposed to be impressive? Little more than a million a month, even in a small market state is chump change.

This tell you anything:

“Of the estimated 750 donors who contributed more than $200 to Harrison this quarter, 173 hailed from South Carolina. That’s less than one quarter of the donors that are actually in the state.

He will run saying he will support Trump, is pro-gun, anti-abortion.

Redistricting was initiated by the Dems in Florida.The GOP did not fight it as they could have.

Republicans had FULL control of redistricting in Florida this past cycle (2011). Democrats probably didn't even support the redistricting plan, because overall it created more Republican districts, and they surely had nothing to do with thinking of it. It was the squishy liberal wing of the FL GOP who took down West, not the Democrats.

The squishes targeted not only Allen West for extinction but successfully disposed of another conservative Rep (Sandy Adams) by putting her into the same district with an old bull moderate and the moderate won the primary, as they hoped would happen.

So if Toomey and Graham go down, and the Republican majority becomes in name only, thanks to Collins, Mittens and Murkowski, that’s ok by you? At least Lindsey is sometimes a Trump supporter, and that should be incentivized. No, there’s a big tent, and if you become a purist and kick out all in-any-respect backsliders, the tent goes down, and in its place you have a disaster.

I don’t care what happens to globalist, warmongering, Chamber of Commerce Republicans. I’m done voting for them but have a ball. The next thing Toomey says that supports DJT will be his first.

Trump himself endorsed Mittens, knowing full well what an a$$hole he was. His a$$hole-ity wasn’t even mitigating by Trump’s support. He only backed off when he saw that impeachment was going nowhere. This isn’t cricket, it’s politics, and sometimes in politics you have to make alliances of convenience with some low characters.

I understand this and this is the difference between DJT the 2016 candidate & him being POTUS. In 2016, DJT would have ripped him a new azzhole, now it's up to people like me. I'd never in a million years vote for someone like Romney, but then again I'm not a Republican. I'm a die hard Trump supporter, period. If the Rs want my vote they'll have to act like Trump.

I’m not a Republican, either. But Trump needs to have a Senate Majority leader who is a Republican, and for that he needs a majority of R’s, in order to keep the judicial appointments coming, and thwart any further impeachment attempts, as well as make laws. So if that means tolerating Mittens, Murkowski and Collins, so be it. And the same for Toomey. Graham is easier to swallow than any of those RINOs, because at least he’s on board for some of Trump’s agenda. So the same goes for him.

But why? West was a tremendous asset.

He was great — but an outspoken conservative is apparently not what the Florida GOP wanted in its delegation, nor did the national GOP want him in the House.

So his district was butchered beyond recognition and he chose to seek re-election in a newly-drawn 18th district which (being mainly new territory, though ostensibly more Republican than his butchered ex-district) robbed him of the advantages of incumbency.

For their part in the elimination of West, the Democrats made sure that their candidate was just about the #1 best-funded candidate for a House race nationwide that year. It worked, with probably more than a little bit of help from Democrat vote fraud in St. Lucie County.

Soros, Hollyweirdos, Bloomberg, Zucker—all a despicable cabal, and if I literally hated Lindsey, I wouldn’t want to give them the satisfaction. This is war. They are the enemy. If they’re after Lindsey, he must be defended at all costs. Hold your nose.

The fact that he’s important enough to the Soros/Hollyweird/whomever cabal to give millions to an opponent means that he ought to be kept around. But only if he can survive a primary.
