Just the News ^ | October 12, 2020 | Alex Nitzberg

The massive haul outstrips any previous Senate candidate's fundraising records during a three-month timeframe, Harrison's campaign said, according to the Associated Press.

The amount dwarfs the reported $38 million Democratic candidate Beto O'Rourke took in during the third-quarter of 2018, a campaign in which he did not unseat Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

And people wonder where all the money the Biden campaign raised is going.

I think he is both worried AND tired. The Democrats are for sure going to turn the Barrett hearings into a circus, just as they did for Kav, and he will have to deal with it. What remains to be seen is what they are gonna roll out at the last minute.

The Democrats hate Graham worse than the "Linda" commentators here on FR, and are throwing everything they have at him, including unprecedented amounts of money.

Isn't it strange how the Democrats, who claim to be the party of the Little Guy, never run out of money?

Through the years Linda has become really good at playing the game, like the ad where he says he had to really work hard because of those nasty demonrats during the last confirmation hearings. It almost brought tears to my eyes, almost.

Graham forgets it’s not about money. Trump proved that by beating Hillary who outspent him

Graham talked a big game and minus Cavanaugh Didn’t deliver .

He slow walked his investigation of the whole Russia/ Obama affair and failed to rapidly call the main players to at least have them come up with their I won’t appear or amnesia testimony.

On Hannity and closes with a beg for money instead of why he didn’t do what I listed

Largely communist money, no doubt.

What do the polls say?

Graham wins by 3-5%

In my mind, Graham opened the door for all this. He NEVER stood firm on his support for the President. Anyone knows, if you don’t ‘close ranks’ on the enemy, he will find a way IN!

Money won’t win this election. Nobody I know here in SC really likes Linda, but we will hold our noses and vote him back in. Perhaps he will learn from this and be a true conservative, but I doubt it.

He won by over 15% in 2014 even with all that money the dimwit has raised SC will not put a black liberal in the senate but I am glad they are wasting their money there instead of a place it would make a bigger difference. I predict he will win by 8% points

General George Patton had a saying:"If you are nice to a skunk, he won't piss on you. As often." Hopefully Senator Graham has learned his lesson. He stood tall during the "hearings" for Judge Kavanaugh. More like a shit-show. Prior to that, he was mediocre in his support for Trump/conservative issues. And because of his support for Judge Kavanaugh, the left is pulling out all the stops to dump him.

No fan of his but the alternative is horrific. Vote Graham!

Some of the $57 million is probably legal and from real American citizens.....

I notice Jaime Harris is using a shot from Lindsey’s confirmation hearing in a current Harris commercial. It’s a scene with Lindsey angry and snarling. Effective behavior in a confirmation hearing, not so much in his opponent’s commercial.

Soro’s fingerprints are all over this, via surrogates.
