The Dem’s need to look at how much less money Trump spent than Hillary and how much less in this race R’s spent than D’s.
It isn’t the money it is the people and ideas. Oh course for money hungry Democrats who live to spend other peoples money, that is a concept they will never understand.
All the spending did was benefit the Republicans. Many swing voters are mad at the Democratic establishment (Hollywood, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton, MSM) so their presence may have brought additional voters to the GOP side.
Words of advice for the DNC, DLCC and the left money in 2018: if you want to win, shut up.
I’m curious whether a left-populist candidate would have done better (as we saw in Kansas, even though he still lost). As long as a Trump-like candidacy runs on the right, that would neutralize that possibility though.
