Trump supported “MAGA” candidates that are not really MAGA.

A report by AdImpact reported that McConnell's super PAC Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) was the leading group donating to Senate races. SLF donated $205 million of the $238 million from McConnell's PACs, distributed across nine Republican Senate candidates.

According to the article, SLF is heavily focusing its efforts on races in Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Each of those Republican candidates received more than $30 million from SLF for their campaigns.

It would be a surprise indeed if Newsweek were right.

He’s supported a lot of candidates and the vast majority, like Kari Lake, are MAGA warriors.

Mitch is trying to save his leadership position because he’s a complete failure

Trump has raised a whopping $161 million for campaigns this year, but his Make America Great Again (MAGA) super PAC has spent a measly $14.8 million

That is a Clinton Foundation ratio.

No politician spends his own money, except maybe on his own campaign. McConnell is spending money from donations for the mid-term elections - that money comes from individuals and lobbying groups. And that's exactly what Trump is doing too.

Does that include the costs of the (once a week or more) rallies he does for Republicans?

I wasn't aware The Clinton Foundation raised money for political campaigns...Except their own.

Wasn't that money raised from mostly foreigners for influence...I mean charities?

Thiessen forgot the $70 million Trump gave to the RNC to fund other candidates plus the $50 million Trump spent on rallies which generate BILLIONS in free publicity.

Regarding J.D. Vance, Peter Thiel and McConnell came to an agreement: Thiel finances Masters in Arizona, and McConnell finances Vance in Ohio.

McConnell made a slightly different deal regarding Buldoc in New Hampshire: he (McConnell) would match the money spent by certain conservative PACs.

These deals freed up money for McConnell to spread the table, and spend some money in CO, CT and WA. These expenditures forced the other side to divert resources they would have preferred to spend in AZ, GA, NC, NH, OH and PA.

Regarding Trump, I suspect Trump is spending a lot of the money he has raised for his rallies. Trump is a great retail campaigner. Maybe the best of this era. He personally connects with people that otherwise might not vote and, so, is very effective in GOTV.

Plus, let’s recognize that it was Donald Trump who opened the Republican Party to blacks and Hispanics. The great influx of Hispanics and lesser but still significant influx of blacks that is propelling our party is victory is because of that man.

Anybody can criticize others for their shortcomings. But, in fairness, how about we recognize what people accomplish?

This is an attempt to create a circular firing squad. A lot of these spending shifts are coordinated. McConnell’s PAC did remove ad buys for the last two weeks in NH, but this was after spending many millions of dollars in heavy ad buys on both radio and TV for over a month, with the NRSC then stepping in and buying ads for the last two weeks.
