Well if those kinds of candidates actually inspired the base they would have had a massive campaign war chest to show for it. They didn’t. MAGA left its own candidates out to dry, twisting in the wind - voluntarily empowering the establishment with candidates begging McConnell to come in with his Super PAC to try to bail them out - but Super PACs should only be supplemental support - and the idea of nominating non establishment candidates was to damage the power of the establishment, wasn’t it? If you end up leaving them dependent on the establishment - you have in effect strengthened the establishment. Did it 2018, 2020, 2022, and appears again in 2023. How many tens of millions of people support Trump and MAGA? Just a small handful of them chipping in a few bucks would lead to a massive campaign war chest. The Democrats have no trouble with these small donations adding up to tens of millions of bucks per candidate - even in quixotic races where they stand little to no chance.
We have to start matching this effort or we are going to keep on losing races we should win.
We ain’t voting our way out of this mess.
so it’s the voter’s fault? Trump is enormously popular in KY but even he can’t breathe life into a stiff. Maybe you can bring McConnell in for a few rallies 🤣
