Democrats have spent $35 million trying to get a far-right extremist nominated for Illinois governor

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.

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.

Guess we'll see what happens.
My problem isn't really the play...I'm generally for anything that keeps Republicans out...my issue is I'm not convinced some of them won't win.



Expecting moderate Republicans to do anything other than vote Republican (regardless of candidate) seems kind of stupid.

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

Again, giving 35 million to far right radicals is despicable.

They didn't give money to his campaign.

I like. GOP chose this course and it's a good reminder to folks that this is still who they are even with Trump out of the white house.
