(1,602 posts)3. Bad News For Downstream GOP
Airtime for political ads tends to get bought up in blocks with upstream candidates often book-ending downstream candidates. When those don't get filled, the downstream candidates often end up being paired with the other party's upstream supports, weakening their effectiveness further. The funding gap is likely to also be reflective of federal and state GOP spending, which means fewer dollars going downticket. This is turning into a perfect storm for the GOP.

Don't trust the GOP. They are probably going to have an October blitz of lying ads.

Maybe Biden should call him Donnie in the debates. The childish name fits better.

At least Trump is sticking to his business plan of losing money, whatever he does.
