Are most people so easily swayed by money poured into political ads that they dont bother to check the truth for themselves?

Based on how much free media support this guy got from the MSM and still managed to lose, it seems they just threw away a whole bunch of money. They haven’t learned anything from Hillary’s loss. They probably never will.
At some point, these donors will want to see a return on their investment.

You’d think Hillary’s billion dollar loss would have been a wake up cal lbut they fell for this guy hook, line and sinker.
I’ll take common sense over book smarts just about every day.
I, for one, will never disengage again. I have voted in the last 4 elections ( I was REALLY disengaged when younger) but Never again. There were times when I wasn’t quite sure who I was really voting for (locally) or why. The candidates didn’t put their party affiliation on anything and I never bothered to look it up....those days are done. Sometimes I am so informed, I drive my poor husband crazy! A lot of that is a direct result of the good folks on Free Republic.
If it wasn’t for the poo-poo book smart types, the Dems would have no one to run. How else would us poor plebes survive without them telling us what is good for us?
It does make one wonder, doesn’t it? lol
Repubs acted stupid and almost lost a seat that should have been a slam bang.
Perhaps that is why they want free college for all. What else would one do with a degree in Women’s Studies but run for office?
bfl
Demo-rats will be pouring money into their candidates as they've always done. A win is a win regardless of the % points....and a loss a loss....
Handel is a moderate but as GA Sec of State she fought off Eric Holder twice in court to preserve our voter ID law.
What it means is that the GOPe & RNC have become intellectually lazy ,willfully & deliberately inarticulate back stabbing idiots who are working hand in glove with the party of SLAVERY,SEGREGATION,SOCIALISM & SODOMY also known as the Democrat party.
They are doing so to cause the situation to go from bad to worse so that they can in the future act like a knight in shining armor to come to the rescue of the country .
The Republicans believe that the TEA Party and Trump supporters don’t know what they are doing & that they made mistakes voting for & supporting them but that the RNC & GOPe will forgive them (the voters) The real question is will the voters forgive the politicians?
Sadly it seems that it will take new suits of tar & feathers for members of Congress to get a clue
Sure, whatever.
Trumps Buy American, Hire American Policy Is Dangerous Nonsense

RE: Trumps Buy American, Hire American Policy Is Dangerous Nonsense
Many people on the right have their reasons for disagreeing with this policy and they are all laid out in the article you referred to.
That does not “PROVE” that they want Trump to fail in everything he does. They just honestly believe that this policy won’t be good for the USA.
Conservatives can argue over this issue without accusing the other of wishing and wanting for Trump to be a failure.
Yes, indeed. Perhaps it is that way when the resulting conversation turns on you from something about special elections to something about which you maybe can say something? Sounds never-never-Trumper to me, dude.
One would have at least hoped when we now have some avenue to combat that former mindset, wouldn’t he? Instead of carping and whining against the very own person who has a showball’s chance in hell of doing something substantive?
Dangerous nonsense, ill advised, foolhardy, destructive, partisan, anti-American, and you just name it. All the words I’d have used to describe Clinton, the Ubama, and to some extent the duplicity W exhibited in his Amnesty Crap of 2006 and creation of TSA and DHS. But this is the crap I hear about my President of barely 100 days from a chamber pot of horseshit the likes of which I’ve never seen against Democrats.
These malcontent recalcitrant prima donna ‘conservative’ divas need to catch a fricking life and recognize.
William F Buckley is rolling over in his grave, because NR is a RINO magazine now...
NO, If the IDIOT GOP had run just Karen against the the LIBTARD instead of a total of 11 GOP with Karen we’d not be seeing a run off. She’d beat the socks off the LIBTARD. The split the vote. It would have been a GOP run away.
As long as only Karen and Karen only runs for the GOP, bar all other GOP’s from running they split the vote which is why there was not clear winner and a run off needed. Karen alone would of won in a run away.
