What happened? The geniuses in the Republican Party establishment spent all of it in the primaries, trying to defeat Trump-supported candidates, and now don’t have any money left to defeat Democrats.

They just didn’t want to allow the Republican voters to choose the candidate they wanted. They have graft and corruption to protect, and those things cost a lot of money.

Now they are likely going to lose some races they should have won, because they bashed the America First candidates in the primary and blew all their cash. It’s hard to be dumber than the Republican establishment.

Don’t they have a certain budget, budgeted money coming in, and then parcel out the money in key races, to get the bang for the buck???

And, why would they spend so much in primaries? Isn’t the point of primaries that your party’s voters make their selection, then, the party backs that nominee in the general election? Shouldn’t the bulk of money be spent in the general election anyway?

Obviously I don’t understand high finance, and how it was decided to go through tons of money before we even get to the general election campaign.

You might be right. They have no business spending a dime in the primaries. They should be neutral.

Bingo, and the RINOs coordinated this with the Democrats.

They're not dumb, stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. They would rather lose than give any sort of win to MAGA.

That would depend upon what the goal is. If the goal is the security and advancement of the nation and the betterment of the citizenry, you would be correct. However, if the goal is the enrichment and accumulation of power for those on the inside, then I would say they are quite astute. Since those on the inside, the establishment, are politicians I would say they are anything but dumb.
