In 3 not hotly contested Senate Races on Tuesday, the democrats dropped $350 million to lose by a total of 40 points. And with that, the democrats’ pipe dream of taking control was flushed down the toilet. It’s a good thing too, because these fiascos prove that democrats should never be in charge of other people’s money. They really suck at finance.
In Kentucky, democrat Amy McGrath challenged Republican incumbent Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Between McGrath’s campaign and Super PACS, the democrats spent a total of $104,252,855 on this losing effort. Grim Reaper McConnell scythed McGrath by 20 points winning 58% to 38%.
Down in South Carolina democrat Jamie Harrison went up against Republican incumbent Lindsay Graham. Harrison and Super PACs spent $124,426,993 on this failure. Graham bitch-slapped Harrison by 11.1 points winning 54.9% to 43.7%.
Up in Maine democrats really thought they could steal a seat when Sarah Gideon went up against incumbent Republican (sort of) Susan Collins. Gideon and the democratic party dark money machine dropped $129,612,447 on the race only to go tits up. Collins, who the polls predicted would lose huge, handily kept her seat by 9 points, winning 51% to 42% over Gideon.
If you are keeping score that’s $358,292,295 down the crapper to lose 3 races by a collective 40.1 points. It takes a special kind of loser to waste money like that and I believe we call them democrats.
That’s not even counting the North Carolina race between democrat Cal Cunningham and Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, which is the most expensive non-presidential contest in U.S. history. The democrats have spent $137 million and it looks like they’ll lose this one too. Tillis is up 2 points with most of the voting already in.
Let’s assume Tillis wins, which makes a grand total of $495 million dollars wasted losing 4 Senate races. That’s almost a half a billion dollars. To put that into perspective, Hillary Clinton only wasted $1 billion to lose an entire presidential election in 2016.
It makes sense that the democrats went after Collins in Maine because the polling, which has proven to be very wrong, had the Republican losing by 12 points (they were only 22 points off), but these other races? They thought they were going to take out Cocaine Mitch in deep red Kentucky? And they wasted over $100 million on that fantasy?
You know what Republicans don’t do? They don’t drop $100 million trying to defeat Dianne Feinstein in super-liberal California. They don’t flush $100 million dollars down the toilet thinking they can steal Chuck Schumer’s reliably-blue New York Senate seat.
Like I said, democrats really suck with money, but on the positive side, they are really good at sucking with money. I couldn’t blow cash like that if I had an electrified cash blowing machine. It’s takes a certain skill to be that irresponsible with money.
At nearly a half a billion wasted on these 4 races, the democrats could have mailed a check for $1.50 to every man, woman, and child in the United States. Sure, it’s not much but it would be the first time in history that democrats did something that resulted in people having more money. Also, it’s better than just lighting a half billion dollars on fire, which is what they did.
If we really want to be dazzled, we’ll have to wait to see how much the democrats spent trying to steal the 2020 presidential election. I have a feeling it will look similar to the democrats’ proposed coronavirus stimulus package.
