For years we were told, candidate A outspent candidate B 2 to 1 and that was the difference in the election.

That was all bullshlt. Cornyn outspent Paxton $100m to $4m and got the ever living shlt beat outta him.

It’s not about spending and never was. It’s about America First and which candidate clings tightest to those principles.

The election thief’s simply used this messaging as a means to steal elections.

Just my .02

Sounds to me like Cornyn probably pocketed a lot of money.

No, he bought an insane number of long ads, especially on Youtube. I must have heard that stupid arse Cornyn ad about voting with Trump 99% of the time, over a thousand times.

Money is a determiner of success when all other things are equal.

When you have bad product, such as a Senator who has seriously pissed off the base like Cornyn or Cassidy, the alternative can win by spending far less as long as they are visible enough that people know they exist.

At some point you run into diminishing returns.

I forget the quote Trump made about the cost of Jeb's votes in the primary.

Money does matter along with name recognition.

The huge spending advantage helps but just like door knocking ground game it ain’t everything. Times change

Two things that piss you off.....

That 125 million was tax dollars funneled through the fed govt.

Second, it was wasted on a republican primary when it should have been saved and used for senate races.

Thune is an arrogant piece of shat. He is just saying FU to the entire GOP base, truly hubris that is unbelievable. I certainly hope his constituents in his home state are inundating him with emails and calls letting him know he is next.

Great OP. Let’s also not forget the excuse of, “_____(republican) was a terrible candidate.” They always use that to explain away the steal.

got your point - and hope it is that way - but this was a primary - a GOP primary = not nearly as many idiots vote there.

I am surprised at the margin though - maybe good things are in the future - get the RINO's OUT!!!
