    One thing I’ve learned over the years is the thought of a political party running out of money for a campaign (that they deem important) is complete bullshit.

    No, they won’t run out.   It’s more about if they have to dump additional money into her campaign, that is money that won’t be available elsewhere.    Will it cost a seat somewhere else?  Normally, probably not.   But if there are half-a-dozen, a dozen, maybe more House seats that need additional money defending them, it becomes a serious problem.

    The problem for the Republicans in the House is that next year is 2020.  GOP ain’t getting the House back next year, and their priority is to retain the Senate and the White House.

    More importantly, the US Census wraps up in December of 2020, which means state legislatures start redrawing lines in 2021.

    Next year will see money poured into state legislature races the likes of which we have never seen before. The GOP will pull out all of the stops, because if they lose more state legislatures/governorships, then it won’t make a shit how much they pour into a lot of Republican House races.

    Will this matter, or would it have been just as effective to pile up the $300K in a parking lot and set it on fire?

    It’s got to make Stefanik nervous, and may even make the GOP spend money there it doesn’t necessarily have.  Stefanik hasn’t exactly made herself look good.

    Was it the arrogance of assuming that no one would investigate America's Mayor? The fifty bank accounts, sloppy handling of the press, and headlong rush into the burning Trump Tower may indicate that he thought he was invincible. He could pull in some big dollars as a conduit for oligarch, and nobody would notice.

    The whistle blower has provided  nasty, telling blow to the den of thieves operating out of the White House and maybe the whole GOP criminal organization. Well done, sir. 

    Arrogance or desperation?   Or a little of both.   He’s working pro bono for Trump, but needs cash.  Maybe thinking Trump will protect him (and he certainly has insurance on Trump).

    I guess the orange idiot really is tired of winning.

    He’s going to claim that without his rallies in LA, Rispone would have lost by 20 points.  Meanwhile, Republican politicians are going to wonder if he hurt Rispone.  

    Will be curious to see female numbers in the redder parts of the state, assuming they can get that info.

    Sondland may very well invoke the 5th during his open testimony this week. These transcripts are only adding more detail and contrast to the litany of crimes and treasonous behavior being executed by the executive.

    They can still nail his ass for perjury, and the 5th won’t protect him, but the Surly lawyers can explain that better  

    Or maybe they will allow him to “refresh” his testimony and come clean, in exchange for having a little chat.
