@CarolineWren The Cunningham sex scandal hit on 10/6. It was the only thing national and local news talked about from that point until Election Day. NC polls habitually get races wrong but Tillis/Cunningham polls pre-sex scandal should be tossed out.
@alexbruesewitz@tylerbowyer 1. Not a party issue so much as a primary voter issue. Party doesn’t pick candidates.
2. How much fundraising firms take net vs gross is bigger issue than processing fees.
3. Not every campaign has TPUSA and Elon to free them up to target a small universe of persuadable voters.
@Cognition1986@bonchieredstate We aren’t talking about influence. We are talking about money. Dems will not run out of it. To claim a small victory tonight that we’ve forced them to spend money in 2025 they can’t replenish before 2026 is a dumb argument. Hence Bonchie’s point.
@nicksortor Momentum? Maybe? But thinking the money they spent on these races means future Dems won’t be well funded and won’t have a cash advantage over Rs in 2026 is beyond wishful thinking.
@Cognition1986@bonchieredstate Democrats have replaced religion with politics. It’s their entire belief system. They’re never going to run out of money. It’s like saying the Catholic Church will go broke.
@NumbersMuncher There’s no version of Trump’s performance that will upset his supporters.
He has an off night? Moderators were against him.
He seemed angry? We want someone who will fight for us.
For the @GOP debate tonight I predict the candidates on stage will attack each other and none of them will attack the clear front runner @realDonaldTrump out of fear. They’re fighting for second place folks.
