Republican fundraising could not even come close to keeping pace with the Democrats.
At $1.5 million per job, the new incentive package from the state is at least 15 times the norm. For this much money, the state could have just handed out a million bucks to 827 people, instead of creating 550 jobs.
Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss the university student protests erupting across the nation on the Israel/Palestine conflict, why it’s so dangerous for society if the media abandons facts in favor of narratives, why that allows government to spin away the problems like crime and financial crises, why it causes the voting public to become apathetic, and more.

Miller is right. Dems have zero excuse. Repugs on the other hand have plenty of excuses. Horrible candidate, terrible fund raising, zero messaging as well as a general lack of ability. None of these will be used though as repugs will just complain that the election was stolen. Their base is so ignorant they will believe anything so why not feed them the same lame lie.
