2022 US midterms election watch party/thread

Been wondering how much this has been costing Trump. Apparently, a lot.

Trump spends donor cash on lawyers: "Not a lot left" to fund campaign

More than half the money Trump raised last quarter went to a PAC covering his legal fees.

Let's hope the donations get harder and harder to come by. Is it possible some Pubs will ever wake up and smell the coffee.

Damn lawyers with clearances. Funny, one of the last missions I supported all of us contractors were standing in the hall looking out the windows inside of the Explosive Handling Warf (EHW) at the sub under going Conversion (pulling tactical things out, and putting instrumentation in pods in). A conversation came up with some Northrup Grumman guys saying they bailed on Lockheed because Northrup was offering a 15% raise because of their clearances.
Anyway...

Trump fundraising as "lawyers are holding him up for money": analyst

"He's trying to scare, he's trying to distract... And he needs to raise a lot of money," says Molly Jong-Fast.

I hope you pay and pay and pay.

Multiple state Republican Parties are ‘alarmingly’ short on money

What do the Republican Parties in Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota have in common? They're all noticeably short on cash at an inconvenient time.

The MAGA crowd now running these state parties insisted they didn’t need anyone else. And now we see where that got them.

Morally AND financially bankrupt!

I wonder if those state parties controlled by MAGATs have just been sending their cash to Trump to pay for his legal fees.

You know the GOP is in a dire state when National Review is outright blasting parties in key states for running things into the ground. Not that the publication has found a strong backbone (it's still arguing against indicting Trump, even though it condemns his actions), but it shows how Trumpism is deterring even staunch conservatives.

Well, maybe there's a silver lining to moneyed political speech. That's capitalism, bitches.

Official campaign funds and party funds have become far less important in recent elections, now that dark money (sourced from anywhere in the world) can anonymously spend unlimited funds in effectively direct support of whatever elections they choose

Why would you think something like that. /s

More "winning" from election deniers and the lawyers who support them, in this case the lawyer was suspended for 30 days and "Oh when your suspension is done, you get to retire."

Daniel McCauley, an Arizona lawyer with more than 30 years of experience, took up the case of Mark Finchem in 2022 after he lost to now-Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. Finchem, who lost by 120,000 votes, claimed to have been stymied by then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who still served as a top administrator over the Grand Canyon State’s elections before her own election to governor.

However, McCauley presented no evidence in support of those claims — and now, there is a price to pay.

“It is ordered that Daniel J. McCauley is suspended from the practice of law in Arizona for 30 days — effective 30 days from the date of this order — for his conduct in violation of the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct,” said a final judgment and order from the presiding disciplinary judge of the State Bar of Arizona, issued Monday. “It is further ordered that, upon reinstatement, [McCauley] shall immediately change his State Bar membership status to ‘retired’ and shall remain retired for a minimum of one year.”

Trump only spouts conservatism because that's the group who he's knows he can easily manipulate, especially with the help of conservative media. He has O policies. It about nobody but Trump 24/7. When you cons figure this out, you might get your heads back on straight, and out of your asses.

The fact that he seeds birtherism crap about Nikki Haley really shows what he thinks of his audience... Braindead puppets.

Well, you just admitted Trump does have a policy. The enrichment of Trump. That's his policy.

As far as conservatives getting their heads out of their asses, when Trump falls, they'll just pivot to another nut job. Because they'd rather shoot off their own penis than to admit "the other side" has a valid point or idea.
