WASHINGTON (AP) Trailing badly in his Arizona Senate race as votes poured in, Republican Blake Masters went on Tucker Carlsons Fox News program and assigned blame to one person: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
You know what else is incompetent, Tucker? The establishment. The people who control the purse strings, Masters said before accusing the long-serving GOP leader and the super PAC aligned with him of not spending enough on TV advertising. Had he chosen to spend money in Arizona, this race would be over. Wed be celebrating a Senate majority right now.
Masters not only lost his race against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, but he also trailed every other Republican running for statewide office in Arizona. Theres another problem Masters didnt acknowledge: He failed to raise significant money on his own. He was hardly alone.
As both parties sift through the results of Democrats stronger-than-expected showing in the midterm elections, Republicans are engaged in a round of finger-pointing, including a failed attempt by Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who led the Senate GOPs campaign arm, to challenge McConnell for his leadership post.

(22,877 posts)of sending Trump money to play with.. I mean that is what is happening.. you send money to the republican party and they are paying for defense of Trump.. its eating them alive, and he is such a drain on their party.. If they do not walk away from him pronto.. that party is going to go the way of all things that Trump touches.. to the landfill
how individuals do in their states.. I think reflects how the party has been shoveling its cash to Trump for the last three years.. nothing to trust about the republican party
