McConnell ran the republican senate campaign finance part of the deal. Here in AZ we were absolutely bombed with "I was an astronaut you know" commercials and I cannot recall hearing more than one Blake Masters commercial. McConnell withdrew funding then put meager amounts back in late in the game when Masters was looking competitive.
IMO mitch would rather keep his position than have a majority in the senate where the new guys would have challenged him.
McConnell’s money wasn’t on the ballot either.
Suggest you put the blame where it lies.
Good point about McConnell’s support for Murkowski. In that particular race, Kelly Tshibaka would have undoubtedly won had Murkowski not been in the race. Meaning? The race was securely in Republican hands either way, so no money was needed to prop up Murkowski.
This anti-Trump crap is the same old tired story. We gotta run moderates, because those Trumpy conservatives just can’t win. The moderates always say the same thing. They were against Reagan, too.
You know? I always voted for and supported moderate Republicans when they won the primaries. When Trump came along, it became clear the moderates would never reciprocate.
Way too many moderate Republicans actually seem to take pleasure in our lost races. They expect us conservatives to be loyal but they have zero loyalty to us.
All these folks now saying told you so. Did they even vote? Did they back the party candidates?
Face it; Georgia and Pennsylvania both had awful candidates on the R side.
Say what you want about Pennsylvania corruption and Fetterwoman... Oz was a loss the second he was nominated.
However I offer no passes to anyone in Pennsylvania that looked at the brain addled candidate and thought he was a better choice. Truly you could run a child molester as a D and he or she would be stunning and brave for challenging what love is with Pennsylvania Democrats.
Well. They ain’t wrong.

The Trump effect must be right because we know stupid don’t vote. /s
I voted for Trump twice. But must move on. He will not win again. The on the fence voters are tired of him. Let's forget all the excuses, valid or not for his lose and this this 2022 mess.
$150 billion to Zelensky sunk Republicans
I’m old school and wish others were the same. You fight these political battles in the primaries but then come together to support the candidate. Sadly, the moderates won’t reciprocate. Truth: Trump was undermined at every step by his own party! That’s why we lose races. Republicans can’t get their act together and cooperate to win races.
Good article. Thanks.
It’s not Trump’s fault they stole it.
Yeah, Walker was such a strong candidate that it was Trump who did him in. Good grief, it isn’t just in Dems and RINOs heads where Trump lives rent free.
You and yours can get this through your skull -- I am not every supporting a Republican again that supports amnesty, neocon foreign policy or any money laundering operations in foreign nations.
We can and should descend into communism and end with a civil war or state secession before that happens.
Trump was called Hitler x 5 years, they threw phony charges on him twice yet he got 74 million votes, 15% more than in 2016. So about your hot political take? It’s a loser.
