      They’re just going to fund his opponent in the general. And they have unlimited money.

        Stevens outspent El-Sayed by a factor of like 10 to 1. Clinton outspent Trump, too. A bigger war chest isn’t a guarantee of electoral victory anymore.

          Surely the army of consultants and media producers dependent upon campaign spending are being honest and impartial when they say candidates need to outspend their opponents.

            Guess they’re gonna need real jobs now.

            Maybe they can do some factory jobs since the US is gonna have no choice but to do some domestic manufacturing soon.

            not really. CU moved the baseline, it takes a huge amount of effort to overcome that shit and that effort and peoples’ volunteer hours would be better spent elsewhere

        If $30 million couldn’t do it, surely $50 million could!

        Get out of here, AIPAC. Nobody likes you anymore except for the establishment ghouls everyone’s learned to hate.

        I hope they spend absurd amounts of money on this election.
