Snippets:

Those advertisements touted state Sen. Erica Smith (D), a candidate who has raised about $210,000 for her campaign. Smith is the more liberal candidate in the field, openly embracing "Medicare for All" and the Green New Deal.

In an interview, Steven Law, who heads the Senate Leadership Fund, said his group had decided to meddle in the Democratic primary after polls showed Cunningham running only narrowly ahead of Smith and after Democrats dumped millions of their own dollars into early advertising on Cunningham's behalf.


My comments:

Geez I wonder why the choose to run ads backing the more liberal of the Candidates if the GOP are so afraid of Sanders and his socialist message?

1. Hey moderates win in Southeast.

Sanders will get us beat in House races too

2. The GOP sucks at governing, but they're excellent at ratfucking.

Damn.

3. GOP welcomes Sanders socialist message, they think it's a winner for them.

Just like repugs backed Stein and Green Party Reps in the past to defeat the more electable mainstream Dems. They love t& promote he radicals because too many Americans automatically won't vote for them regardless. RT runs many favorable articles for Bernie but mostly all unfavorable "news" about Biden, Warren & Buttigieg for a reason.

4. This Is Why I Trust Polls Less & Less

6. And you think Sanders as the nominee will help us defeat Tom Tilis?

7. All I did was answer the question. Don't read anything more into it than that. (n/t)
