As we await the September fundraising numbers for the Harris/Walz campaign (which Im sure will be massive), it seems that the Senate and House Republicans are having a cash flow problem:
Senate and House Republicans have openly sounded the alarm on their fundraising disparity. And the executive director of the NRSC warned that if they didnt close the gap soon, the party would lose winnable Senate races.
Hmm. It seems that one side is enthused and opening their wallets and purses, while the other side is learning that hate, division, and restricting of ones rights doesnt sell.
Republicans are trying an experiment with something called hybrid ads to stretch their funds:

His daughter in law is RNC co-chair. Plus Trump basically own the party. So theyre allowing him to take their money for his own personal use.
Think. Again.

How else can Trump win unless he sells wristwatches to the faithful?
