I originally thought the OP wondered why "people" were interested in the race. Then I realized the question was about why Dem Reps were so focused on a primary race, shoveling $$ at a candidate, etc, when (as OP asked) $$ would be needed to fight Repubs instead.
Ultimately, the OP's question is very interesting.
