Don’t you feel a little bit of shame when you type something like this?

First of all, your tactic to achieve your goal is wrong. You want to make people scared of losing something, not make them confident about winning something. Didn’t you watch the Carousel episode of Mad Men?

Secondly, simply giving money doesn’t do anything other than enrich advertisers. Do you know how much money Biden raised? Do i see any ads telling me why to vote for him? No! I am barraged by a constant stream of ads with an aged infirm man asking me to donate my money so he can make more ads asking others to donate more money. Joe Biden is the Panhadler-in-Chief. This election is being surrendered to Trump because of tactics like this. There will be no blue tsunami. At best, there will be a blue levee against a raging Trump deluge. But hey, at least you did your part helping enrich cynical wealthy people.

r30, what a lovely AI Troll post. It hits all the negative talking point. If cash were not so important in campaigns, why did the Crow's and Leo's and Federalist Society hacks purchase Citizens United?

North Dakota's Kevin Cramer has voted twice not to convict Trump, and he voted for every nomination put forward by the Trump/McConnell/Leo/Crow Court. He made the overturning of Roe possible. For only these reasons, he needs to be replaced by a Democrat. Abortion rights are on every state's ballot where a Republican Senator is up for re-election (or, in the cases of Indiana and Utah, filling a Republican vacancy).

[quote]Why are you trying to get people to throw away their donations on lost causes instead of donating to races that could be won?

Why are you showing polls that are incorrect. The movement is for Trump supporting Senators to be replaced.

The point of sending them money is to validate their challenges for defective Republican Senators who made our living Trump hell possible.

McConnell, Leo and Crow all knew the path to corrupting the government by Plantation Capitalists was through the Senate. The path to correcting the government is through the Senate.

Those donors are not throwing away cash, theyy are buying hope in the future.

Also, considering pendulum swinging, the big swing back to a Democratic run government will be in 2026. But we must make inroads now, just like Republicans in 2008.

There is a vacancy in Maryland where the Democrat retired. Now, the former Republican Governor, Hogan is running against a Black Woman. We need to keep that seat. Those are two I am focused on. Then, Arizona. Lunatic Kari Lake is running against Ruben Gallegos. He is a member of Congress and has a great record. Kari is crazy. Hopefully she has worn out her welcome in Arizona. Now. Rick Scott the Skeletor from Florida is running for re election. He's running against a white woman. Don't know much about her but she seems to be running a good campaign. She needs $$$. In Texas, Turd Cruz is running for re-election and he MUST be defeated.

Thank you, r132 /34, for chiming in on the conventional wisdom.

With 2024 being elections swung by Dobbs and Supreme Court corruption, I believe that we will see more change in the Senate since 1980s.

And as for the cash, these Senate races can ALL benefit from the windfall of campaign cash, since Harris the candidate. Personally, I am sending cash to North Dakota's Katrina Christiansen, who is going after Heidi Heitkamp's old seat.

It was BLUE just before Trump.

North Dakota is more like Minnesota, not Kristi Noem Dog Killing South Dakota.

There is lots of grass roots cash to go around. Republivans never thought they would have to defend a Deb Fischer in 2024 whe all of Trump's money is going to the RNC and then to his legal fees.

I have TWO Senators from my state, but the other 98 effect me just as much.

you know, people talk about Josh Shapiro and the whole Israel thing but what I have not yet seen on corporate media is the intense, frantic activity going on behind the scenes where the Pro Israeli hardliners are going after Democratic members of Congress who are being accused of "caving in" to the pro Palestinian elements. They're having some success too. Cori Bush and that guy from NYC Bowman, are gone.They got primaried. The Republicans are going to try to use Josh Shapiro as a wedge against Harris. Right now. They're below the radar campaign strategy is to divide, of course.

For years Israeli leaders have made what I used to call "pilgrimages" to the U.S. to lobby for the arms and the financial support of the U.S. Not only through our government but through a network of non profit support groups. Now this is not unique.There are plenty of wealthy Middle Eastern groups who send money and support to Muslim organizations in areas of conflict. But the Israeli lobby is very entrenched and they're pros at this, much better than the naturally insular Middle Eastern groups.

I first because aware of it, when I attended a local luncheon for business leaders to meet Shimon Peres, back in the early 80's. He was a very attractive effective promoter for his country. I overheard his handlers talking about his packed schedule where he was meeting with various "donors" and would speak at a synagogue, etc. He was really working. There are "interest sections " in this country supporting all kinds of foreign groups. But rarely talked about until suddenly we read that certain Arab groups were sending money to the Middle East before 9/11 or something like that. My point is that the Neo Con intellectual cabal that got us into a phony war in Iraq thanks to Dick Cheney, are still out here raising hell and promoting a wider war involving Lebanon and Iran. It was always their goal and Netanyahu's been in bed with them for decades.

are so important. THEY are the stress test for Republican corruption.

I hope they follow Kentucky Democrat Amy McGrath and if they lose, they continue to run for 2030. Amy McGrath lost to Mitch, but she has been running for his seat ever since. She has a war chest and is ready to be elected.

The times they are a changing.

Sen. Jon Tester, one of the nation’s most vulnerable Democratic senators, said he is not endorsing Kamala Harris for president because he contended his GOP opponent in Montana wants to nationalize their race.

“This race needs to be about Montana,” Tester told me about his bid against Republican Tim Sheehy. “My opponent doesn’t want it to be about Montana. He wants it to be about national (issues). But it needs to be about Montana because he doesn’t know shit about Montana.”

Tester also said he supports the GOP proposal to bar undocumented immigrants from voting, something already illegal, but doesn’t like the House Republican effort to tie that plan to a bill keeping the government open past Sept. 30.

“I’m not crazy about it being on the CR,” he said, referring to the stop-gap funding bill known as a continuing resolution.

[quote] Recent public polls have shown Hawley leading by double-digit margins, and The Cook Political Report rates the contest as "solid Republican." But polling by GQR, which describes itself as one of the world's premier opinion research and strategic consulting firm, for Kunce's campaign, which was shared exclusively with Newsweek, shows a relatively tight race.

Here in the DFW area, I just saw a Ted Cruz campaign ad for the first time. He accuses Colin Allred of supporting men in women's sports and men in women's bathrooms. That's all the unlikeable bastard could come up with at this point in the race. Reeks of desperation to me. Those tightening poll numbers must have been a wakeup call that he isn't coasting to an easy victory. Can't run off to Cancun now, Ted. Gotta get off that slovenly ass of yours and fight for the Senate seat like any other candidate.

An ad for Colin Allred, with the slogan "Stop Ted Cruz's Abortion Ban" also aired and highlighted his role in supporting the state's extreme abortion laws. I guess we'll have at least one competitive statewide race in this election cycle.

Of course I want Kamala to win and the Democrats controlling both the Senate and House. I believe the Harris/Walz ticket will be successful, despite the hype of how 'close' the race is. They've put together quite the coalition that recognizes the threat Donald Trump poses to the country if given a second term. Their positive campaign and message of moving forward seems to be resonating with the segments of the electorate needed to win.

Right now though, I think we can easily win back a majority in the House because Republicans have been so inept and ineffective. The process of finding a new speaker was chaotic and they ended up with Mike Johnson, who is just awful. Then you have the disputes between MAGA and extreme MAGA factions.

The Senate feels out of reach. We knew the map would be more favorable to Republicans this cycle. With a number of red state Democratic incumbents locked in tight races, I want to have hope, but so much has to come together for Democrats to stay in charge. As in prior elections, the "Trump-approved" Senate candidates are horrible overall, which helps, but it will still be challenging.

As a Texan, it would be great to see Ted Cruz lose his seat to Colin Allred. Cruz underperforms compared to other statewide Republicans and it was close the last time with Beto. Maybe this will be the opportunity to finally throw him out.

by Anonymousreply 248October 8, 2024 9:34 PM

OK. We will definitely lose West VA because Manchin is retiring and the incumbent governor, a Republican is running and he will win. I think we'll lose Tester in Montana and Sherrod Brown in Ohio, too. I'm watching Maryland. Don't know how it will break. Do we dare dream we can win Florida and dump Rick Scott? Or Cruz in Texas. I believe we could if the election was free and fair. But the level of corruption in both states is staggering, and as I Recall, Paxton, the attorney general in Texas said Beto would have won except he made sure those votes weren't counted. Without the Senate we will not be able to get reforms for SCOTUS or anything else we need.

Sheehy led Tester by 4 points, 48 to 44 percent, in SLF’s October poll of the race — a slightly smaller edge than in some recent public polls. Republicans have seen Tester’s vote share drop just 2 points since August, but they’ve had him down in the last four polls.

[quote] Democrats continue to publicly express optimism that Tester can prevail. And because they are still dumping resources into the race, the memo notes that “it’s too early to declare victory and shift resources elsewhere.” Sheehy is also polling 9 points behind Trump.

I think we're OK in Ohio. I think Brown is inching ahead of Moreno. But I am worried about Hogan in Maryland, that porcine POS asshole, and I am worried about Tester losing to some asshole in Montana. We have lost West Virginia and that's a shame because the fat fuck who is replacing Manchin is a real pig who rarely ever goes to work as governor, and he will be a disaster as Senator, even for a Republican. We're in a position where we have to flip one and hold everything else in order to stay even in the Senate. Texas and Florida are too corrupt to allow a Dem to win, however, if anyone loses it will be Cruz because even the Republican Party leadership in Texas hates him.

R274 Allred has raised more money than Cruz. 💙

Between Jan. 1, 2023 and October 16, 2024, Allred raised about $14.6 million more than Cruz, according to a Tribune analysis of the candidates' main campaign accounts and other entities that are part of their fundraising networks.

About $50 million of the money that Cruz raised was through Ted Cruz for Senate, his main reelection campaign committee. He also raised about $22.7 through his two joint fundraising committees, Ted Cruz Victory Committee and Ted Cruz Victory Fund, along with his leadership PAC, Jobs, Freedom, and Security.

Meanwhile, Colin Allred has raised most of his $87 million through his main campaign account, Colin Allred for Senate, with about $8.9 million coming from his joint fundraising committee, Colin Allred Victory Fund.
