Democrats Meddle in Ohio G.O.P. Senate Primary, Pushing Trump’s Choice
A Democratic group is spending about $2.7 million on a television ad promoting Bernie Moreno, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, just ahead of next week’s Republican primary.
oh yes, because that never backfired at all.
Statistically this is always the right play, tho. Trump was an outlier.
If a statistical precedent is broken, you need to consider it’s no longer precedent.
MAGA is proving the old ways of doing things don’t work. New strategies are needed- like maybe picking better candidates.
Which, case in point, why would you then intentionally loose that vital data point if their votes?
I was horrified when I first heard about this, though it actually seems to be a good strategy, if risky and ballsy:
Prop up an opposing candidate in the primary, who you project (the risky part) will poll worse against you in the general election.
It seems to be working...

Given that Democrats this time around are out-fundraising the Republicans, it could be a really smart strategy.

Corporate money ALWAYS slants to the right
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Democratic group is wading into the Republican Senate primary in Ohio with a new television spot aimed at promoting the conservative credentials of Bernie Moreno, a Cleveland-area businessman who has been endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump.
A group called Duty and Country is spending roughly $2.7 million on the ad, which is set to run across the state, according to AdImpact, a firm that tracks advertising.
Mr. Moreno won their backing by embracing hard-line conservative positions that Democrats view as potentially easier to run against in a general election.
“When Ohio voters head to their polling place, they deserve to know the truth about Bernie Moreno — and the truth is that Moreno is a MAGA extremist who embraced Donald Trump just like he embraced his policies to ban abortion nationwide and repeal” the Affordable Care Act, said Hannah Menchhoff, a spokeswoman for Senate Majority PAC.
Republicans already are expected to gain one seat in West Virginia after Senator Joe Manchin III, a Democrat, announced he would not seek re-election.
In the California Senate primary last month, Representative Adam Schiff, a Democrat, ran a spot describing Steve Garvey, a Republican and a former Major League Baseball player, as too conservative.
