The website you pointed me to shows 242M for D's and 328M for R's in 2016, which is not a huge difference. Less that difference between Trump and Hillary spending. In this election cycle, O'Rourke has out-raised Cruz by a large margin. I do not think this is as simple as big money wants R's only"
Important Reminder: Hillary outraised Trump almost 2:1. 3:1 in outside money.
The question still stands. Are the people who spent the last 50 years building the current libertarian republican party dominance going to let D's control the house without spending very dime they can throw at the races?
yawn. how many times does that make for the same meaningless point in only 1 thread. the money went downstream. there were candidates other than trump/hillary running in 2016. sorry you weren't aware of that.
He's totally full of it.

I don't think this is completely true. Big bucks dark money crowd was for Clinton.They do not care about party as long as candidate tows their line.
He's totally full of it.
Posting--"He's totally full of it" about another poster is not a personal attack?
What is outside money?
Multiple people in the thread had to repeat that fact, then he complained that the numbers disproving his conception of reality were being posted by multiple users.
Hey Bob, did you read the instructions?

First, most R's (with exception of Paul who was redistricted out by his colleagues) are not libertarian. Second, I do not believe that "big money" cares which party is in power, so they will support "useful idiots" from either party.
house? Hint, the koch bro's libertarian network is planning to spend 60% more on republican congressional races in 2018 than 2016 at 400 million.
Most R's have made a deal with the devil and if they don't dance to the libertarian tune they will see their funding disappear and face a strong heavily funded primary challenge from some one who will.
Big money on both sides very much cares which party is in power. Only big money on the R side has a long term coordinated plan they have been executing for 40 years.
the big boys on the right going to roll over and let the D's take back the house?

Partisan people are known to be the worst forecasters.
Motivated reasoning is killing them.
Right one time is not a statistic.
Limbaugh to Hannity: I Don't Trust Polls, GOP Will Hold House, Increase Senate Majority
You should hire a few Right wing moderators.
For awhile i would flag personal attacks because @Patrick asked us to, i was helping him out. Until they were repeatedly put back up i figured whats the point. Patrick obviously doesn’t care and isn’t even attempting for a level playing field
I flag very, very rarely as often comments are in "gray zone". Most of my flagged comments do disappear, but there were 2-3 cases where blatantly personal attacks re-appeared.
