Ted Cruz clobbered Beto O'Rourke after O'Rourke had vastly outraised Ted Cruz, mostly from the Hollywood Hollywood crazies :

Beto O'Rourke raises a whopping $38 million against Ted Cruz ahead of midterm elections

The Rino’s on the hit list should do the right thing and take themselves out. Case by case basis. Old ones. Those who vote purple from red districts where the voters are no on to them.

Not surprising. The Democrats are the big money party. The Republicans are a middle income party.

I pray that CNN does not survive. By linking to CNN’s website, you are putting money in CNN’s bank account.

I think there are still many that don’t realize the point you are making. The perception is changing in the public square though, and picking up speed. I just wish it would happen faster.

And Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump in February, raised nearly $1.1 million in the July-to-September quarter, more than twice the $465,945 collected by Kelly Tshibaka,

Apples and Oranges, Lisa has long connections to money and is an incumbent. It would be a news story if her opponent out raised her.

Exactly. I wouldn’t bet on Soros funds not being in there
somewhere.

[Magnatron]

Some people love lighting money on 🔥.

[Leep]

And evidently she was extremely popular with a 90% chance of beating Trump.

You can’t “buy” an election, you can steal one though
