yea nobody gives a fukk
We know progress and improving the government don't matter to Repubs.
Looks like they're pushing the same move in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Colorado, as well as in conservative districts in California and other places. Most of the ads aren't as bad as the Illinois ones but it's still an incredibly cynical way to play politics and spend money.

When you can't beat the GOP h2h divide them. I'm sure they're hoping moderate Republicans stay home or vote for Dems

I get their "strategy" here but honestly it's a waste of money to try to buy a turnout that's still unpredictable.
People have wanted the Democrats to get more aggressive and play the Republicans at some of their own games. Well here you are, trying to promote horrendous candidates in hopes that'll be easy to beat ala Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker.

MAGA Voters Send a $50 Million GOP Plan Off the Rails in Illinois
LINCOLN, Ill. — Darren Bailey, the front-runner in the Republican primary for governor of Illinois, was finishing his stump speech last week at a senior center in this Central Illinois town when a voice called out: “Can we pray for you?” Bailey readily agreed.

I understand the sentiment but the unintended consequences of this are fukked up. You're spending $35 million to prop up a far-right agenda. Even if you succeed, you've spent all that money promoting extremist positions and gassing up a bunch of extremist voters. Imagine the good that could be done with that money. Why not spend $35 million on voter turnout in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin? Or spend $35 million actually addressing real problems instead of dumping it into political races?
And worst-case scenario, you have a Trump 2016 situation on your hands and the candidate you most wanted to face ends up being your nightmare.
What's wrong with these left wing cacs
They are willing to sacrifice vulnerable groups pushing this radical agenda to satisfy their pay masters
AIPAC anyone
Is it?
It isn't.
GOP paid for ads saying an NC candidate was 'progressive' and 'one of us'
A GOP Super PAC said the ads promoting a challenger to Democratic Senate candidiate Cal Cunningham in North Carolina forced him to spend money.
I don't think this garnered any faux outrage, but it's likely because they thought it would help CC
So when do we find out if this strategy paid off

Trump was the front runner from basically the moment he declared.
Did you already forget Hilldog promoted him cuz she thought he would be an easy lay up? Not the exact same as this thread but very similar. This is a demonic strategy and could backfire just like it did in 2016.
