Billion$ to get Sessions fired?
You betcha.....
Obama gave out TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, the Democrats have deep war chests.
I suspect the Democrats and their special interest groups and movie stars spent a lot more than $800+ millions.
The democrats spent at least 300,000 on Maine senate race 20. About 18,000 voters.
It was won in landslides the last two times by the republican. This time the dem won by 1 point. Money does make a difference.
Allowing us to keep the Senate...
Midterm elections: Were the billions spent worth it?
**************
Maybe economy will prosper for a while...........
This is the media’s wet dreams come true. The recipient of the billions spent IS the media. They are rolling in the dough like never before.
Billions spent to sway the swayable % of eligible voters into voting one way or the other. Pretty horrific when you think about it. They must do it because it works I guess, supposedly around 10% of voters are swing voters. A lot of the time the margin of victory is less than 10%.
Freegards
Democrats were already insanely angry, bitter and motivated. I think they would have won the House regardless. They probably didnt get a very good return on their money.
Just think of all the money shoveled into democrat coffers. That wasn’t all, far from it, how much free campaigning was done by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, WaPo, and all the local papers?
How many citizens health care could the Democrats spending have funded? Seems they are more interested in power than health care!
Special interests spent $5B this year to influence how corrupt insiders in office spend $5T of our tax dollars each year. I’d call that a great investment - if you ignore the gigantic ethical issue of stealing from the taxpayers.
Brat raised $206,000 through May 21, and at least an additional $16,600 after that, while Cantor raised $5.1 million, and another $298,000 just since May 21.
The majority leader brought in $2.1 million from PACs. Not a single PAC gave to Brats effort.
Cantor had hundreds of donors who maxed out their donations to him $2,600 for the primary race while Brat had 12 donors who gave the maximum amount, one of whom is a family member.
Cantor received just 21 percent of his campaign cash from Virginia residents, according to OpenSecrets latest analysis, which covers large individual donations (over $200) from 2013. Brat didnt even raise money in 2013, but in 2014, 81 percent of the money from his large individual donors came from Virginia residents.
Cantor raised at least as much from donors living in D.C. ($193,000 in 2013 alone) as Brat raised overall. The challenger received just $50 from the District.
Who gets this money? Most of it goes to the media, right?
