Steve Schmidt and anti Trump former Republicans are going to spend $110 million to flip the House to the Democrats

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/08/anti-trump-former-republicans-have-a-multimillion-dollar-plan-to-save-house-democrats-00680114


'Anti-Trump former Republicans think Democrats are squandering their chance to flip the House — and they have a $100 million plan to save them.

On the heels of overperformances up and down the ballot this year, the Save America Movement, co-founded by former Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt, wants to pour up to $100 million into as many as 60 GOP-controlled House seats ahead of the midterms.'

The ambitious strategy for the Democrat-aligned group, shared first with POLITICO, is the group’s first foray into electoral politics after it has spent significant capital protesting President Donald Trump’s return to office, which it deems a fundamental threat to American freedoms.

FEAR, that is what they are campaigning on. Every one of them.

Sharia law is in vogue again. After so many years having to wait on the back burner because abortion was the entree of the decades. Now that it has been taken away, it’s time to reheat the other fears of hate to stoke.


They never have any plans to help all Americans. Because they don’t want to!
