My God! How stupid can we be? No name recognition. No up-and-comer political experience. These are just idle millionaires wanting attention and looking for an excuse to spend their money. Dolan(oh.) and Robson(Az.) are primary losers and we're now excited?

Our leaders are determined to fail.

If Mitch McConnell is either dead or out of the Senate by 2024, we’ll be able to get to a Senate majority.

He is thwarting Republican candidates from winning and LIKES being in the minority.

This is a head-fake.

What their looking for is moderates, not conservative, members of the GOP-E Globalist club.

GOP leadership found out in 2016 that having a wealthy candidate translated into money they could plunder from the part.

Rinse...repeat.....

Starts with name recognition. Oz had his negatives, carpetbagger being just one of them. Kari Lake had Maricopa county cheating-could be fixable.

These millionaire rookies are an accident waiting to happen and we’re supposed to accept what leadership didn’t learn? Rape victims can shut down their bodies?Only if they’re a witch.

The Senate is a smaller. 6 year terms. That means they’re lost for 6 years when we lose. Doesn’t mean we have to blow it. Does that mean follow the RINO into battle? Kelly Ayotte(’16) lost by 600 votes-would’ve made a difference.

At the beginning Trump could have been described as an idle billionaire looking to spend his money, personally I though he wouldn’t amount to anything as a candidate, obviously he proved me and many others completely wrong.

Yes, he had name recognition, but had a checkered past, including multiple marriages and contributing to Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and many others.

Before we condemn these potential candidates let’s see what type of makeup they have first.

[Rockingham]

Broadly, you have a sound point, but even as self-funded candidates are a hit or miss gamble as to results, they are a winner in the short term for party campaign committees for inescapable budget reasons. And self-funded candidates free up precious cash for good candidates in other races.

[TonyM]

Sounds like McConnell is planning to take the money he collected from donors to get republicans elected with him when he retires.

[silent majority rising]

My take as well. Not what the founding fathers intended.

[kenmcg]

GOP going now here as long as Romney’s niece is in charge.

Once that morbidly-obese, totally-unqualified moron J. B. Pritzker bought the Illinois governorship, it became clear that it was only a matter of time before this country descended from a democratic republic to a plutocracy, irrespective of which party was involved.
