The problem for Mitch is that this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
If you pull funding from a guy because you don’t think he will support you, you better fricking hope he loses. Because if he wins, he doesn’t owe you a goddamn thing.
Rand Paul is one of these for Mitch because Rand wasn’t Mitch’s hand picked replacement for Jim Bunning. Rand whipped the shite out of the hand-picked guy and the Dem to win.

This is retarded. Do you think Republicans would vote to pack the SC or for PR/DC statehood. Do you think Biden would have been able to do as much damage as he's done in the last two years if Republicans, even shitty ones, controlled the senate? Conservatives are far better off with shitty/weak Republicans in a senate or house seat than a Dem.

I began to notice it around around the Tea Party time and didn't understand it until Trump ran in 2016.

McConnell has essentially said this himself. It's party over principle with these people. They support Republicans, but only the right kind of Republicans.

Trump's longterm kingmaker strategy will prevail. And he's also gonna be president again so if Mitch the Bitch is still talking shite, our beautiful orange emperor will process him.

When Trump was president and Rs had the house/senate, they couldn’t even get $10 B for Trump’s wall. Meanwhile Dems just write off $ billions for their student loan forgiveness. Even when Rs control govt, Trump is still spied on by the 3 letter agencies.
Most Republicans are bought and paid for. They are paid to lose and complain while they get rich selling our country down the road

Okay. But none of that is an argument to stand down and let Dems be elected.
It's an argument to elect better Republicans, and as much as McConnel and the GOPe have a say in that, their say doesn't trump the voters. So let's not have all the bitching and moaning about the GOPe magically take us (the rank/file Right) off the hook. The shite this country is in is as much our fault as anybody's.

He has my vote and donation. I hope some big-Righty money can find its way to his campaign. Kelly is one of the most lowkey punchable faces in congress. I hate that guy.

Republicans just pulled funding and ad buying for Blake Masters in the AZ Senate race.
Funding has been pulled from Masters because he can't win. It's a waste of money; that seat has gone from a 538 "tossup" to Likely Kelly win in less than a week! Why fund a proven loser?
This is astounding in a state where Kari Lake, running for governor and hardly a mainstream candidate, is in a 50-50 battle with her democratic opponent.

And some people think Trump will get the republican nomination for prez. There’s no way. The establishment will not allow it. They would seriously rather him run 3rd party , split the vote and lose to another shitty democrat candidate and continue to flush the whole country down the toilet,than to let Trump upset their status quo.
The American people need to wake the hell up.

What happened? Not polling, but what was said/done by either candidate or their campaigns that brought forward this change?
Nothing. Kelly is spending a shitload in negative advertising, but who didn't see that coming - after all he's backed by the big money in politics like all Dems.
This is why you don't stop spending money if you support Masters. Nothing has happened that warrants pulling funds.

This one is stunning. Not because Lake has Trump's endorsement but even more so because Hobbs is a hot mess/half retarded.

Here's the thing, AZ already has more registered Republicans. What the hell do they need Mitch's money for anyway? They need to work their asses off & make up the difference with on the ground energy. I think they'll be alright, both of them have unique skill sets, they're just political newbies & who knows if the GOP starts laying land mines for them in order to let the media go bananas to drive out the Dems.
