Democrats spent more than $40 million to boost Republicans in primaries for key midterm races..
Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle.
All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race.
Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.
In New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan easily defeated Republican and former Army General Don Bolduc, who was the Democrat-aligned Senate Majority PAC's candidate of choice to face what many viewed as one of the more vulnerable Senate members.
...
The group, aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, spent at least $3.5 million bashing moderate Republican state lawmaker Chuck Morse in an effort to boost Bolduc, who Democrats saw as the easier candidate to face Hassan.
Also in New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster defeated Republican Bob Burns in the state's 2nd Congressional District. Burns reportedly benefited from $94,000 in spending by a new Democratic PAC called Democrats Serve in his primary race against a more moderate George Hansel.

We walked right into their traps, our voters don’t do their homework.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
Fox News is officially Anti Trump TDS network. Trump backed candidates kicked ass.
Another f-—ing TDS thread. You ankle biters got to nibble...
Isn’t it funny how Republicans have to nominate rinos approved by the deep state to have “electable” candidates, but the Democrats can get a guy with two functioning, brain cells, a geriatric pedophile, a dead guy, and a guy sitting in a prison cell elected?
When added up, Democrats have at least a 10:1 money advantage...and we just saw the results of that - their ability to pretty much add 5 to 10 points to every race.
How many of those states had unrestricted mail-in voting rules and unmonitored drop boxes?
Asking for a friend.
The Uniparty wants to purge Trump, Trump supporters and all possible MAGA candidates that Trump will endorse in the future.
The Uniparty has two goals, the Republicans want to ‘purify’ their party and the Democrats simply want to rule.
It would have been nice if Trump had spent some of his to even the odds a little.
A very one-sided analysis of the Bolduc campaign. Mitch McConnell pulled funding from General Bolduc (and from Blake Masters in AZ) to support his stooge Lisa Murkowski. The man was outspent almost 20 to 1. He never had a chance to get his message out. The lopsided funding itself created the impression that he was a fringe candidate.
It’s Mitch McConnell who owns this debacle, lock, stock and barrel, not Donald Trump.
Florida, Ohio, and Iowa do. States where Republicans won by double digits.
It goes to show how morally decrepit many in our nation have become
Give me a break. Trump spent nothing supporting Bolduc and attacked him after the primary win.
Nope. DeSantis 2024, even if I have to write-in. Many more like me.
Massive spending by the Democrat Governors Ass’n took Richard. Irvin out of the IL primary because he could have beaten Prickster. They poured money into hapless Darren Bailey who didn’t have a chance. Republicans are so stupid...

The Republican Party has a disloyalty problem.
When Nixon was named Ike’s VP some Republicans jumped ship.
When Goldwater won the nomination in 1964 a bunch of Republicans bailed.
Reagan had the same thing happen in 1980 because the party was becoming too ‘extreme’ for some East & West Coast Republicans, in other words ‘too Southern.’
Trump wins the nomination in 2016 and a bunch of ‘losers & suckers’ skipped the convention.
I’d like to know the payouts these turncoats are receiving, because they’ve been all over my TV for 7 years.
i agree...time to move on....Trump can not win a national election....its been fun, but its over...DeSantis 2024...
True and since single women broke for Dems by +37 Trump won’t win as that is his weakest demographic as they hate the name calling
Loser!
