McConnell is holding all of the cards - and he knows it. Candidates like Masters aren’t raising any money from their base supporters and are therefore completely dependent on McConnell and the donor class to ride to their rescue, as the MAGA base sits on their behinds and keeps their wallets closed, making the establishment all the more powerful. This is a completely voluntary action to allow the establishment and the donor class this kind of power. Just 1 million people giving a mere 10 bucks to each candidate makes the donor class unnecessary. There are tens of millions of conservatives who could more than afford that as spare change, but not even 1 million will do it.
You GOPe types make me physically ill.
McConnell was negotiating with Peter Thiel to convince Thiel to up his already major support of Masters. Thiel basically told him to do his job or go pound salt, so McConnell is reluctantly beginning to do his job and support the GOP candidate. McConnell is corrupt but not stupid. He needs Masters if he wants to be head honcho again.
I’ve sent Masters a donation. Everyone should consider doing it. We need this seat.
