There seems to be no end to the money flowing into the Democrats’ campaigns during the latter part of the mid-term e******ns that end next week on November 6, 2018! I knew that this e******n cycle was going to attract record amounts of money for a midterm e******n, but I had no idea how much money was being spent. I normally do not watch the local affiliates for ABC, CBS and NBC. However, after a friend told me how much political advertising she was seeing on these stations I watched them periodically over the last two days. As I scrolled back and forth on these stations I was shocked to see how much political advertising was running on these stations and how outright d********g most of the advertising is. Labeling them as “attack ads” seems to be an understatement and the volume of these ads is shocking. It is also obvious to me that the pro Democrat and anti-Republican ads greatly outnumber the pro Republican and anti-Democrat ads. The Left clearly understands the “reach times frequency” advertising guidelines. These guidelines are: what demographics do you want to see or hear your advertising and how many times you want them to see or hear it? However, in this e******n cycle the Left clearly has the money available to buy advertising aimed at EVERY demographic and buy as many ads as they can!

The Left also has the complete and eager support of the MSM as they unite in their open hatred of everything Conservative, especially President Trump. When you combine the MSM’s total support with an unlimited advertising budget and you have what any marketing or sales executive would classify as a “perfect storm” situation to sell wh**ever they are selling. Now I know why all the political pundits are saying that the Democrats are going to take back control of the U.S. House of Representatives and take back many state governments on November 6, 2018. It is because the political pundits are seeing and hearing an overwhelming volume of pro-Left and anti-Conservative media like they have never seen or heard before.
If the Democrats do take back control of the House they also get control of EVERY congressional committee. That means that on January 1, 2019 every congressional committee will begin to focus all their efforts on impeaching President Trump. It is also important to note that in every state where the Democrats have control of the state government in 2020 they get to have a significant influence in the 2020 census. This will have an impact on future v****g district alignments. The Left is totally united and obsessed with their dream of destroying our Constitution and making America part of a Socialist “One World Order”. They see President Trump as the only thing preventing them from accomplishing this goal, so their immediate objective is to remove him from office and destroy his administration, by any means necessary. Taking back control of the U.S. House of Representatives now appears to be their last shot at accomplishing their Socialist “One World Order” dream for many years to come. That is why billionaires like Tom Steyer, Bloomberg and George Soros are personally making unlimited funds available to Democrats running in this e******n.

In addition to having an unlimited budget available to them to advertise and promote their campaigns, and the full support of the MSM, Democrats running in this e******n also have the total support of every “Deep State” (anti-American, pro-Obama and pro-Hillary) person still working in our Federal government. During Obama’s eight years in office he dramatically increased the size of the Federal government EVERY YEAR! These “Deep State” people have the added incentive of saving their government jobs and a belief that they will never be fired or prosecuted for anything they do to protect their jobs. President Trump’s constant efforts to reduce Federal government implemented regulations and reduce the size of the Federal government has these people especially motivated to help destroy his administration.
When you add up everything the Left has manipulated in its favor in this e******n cycle it is a “perfect storm” like no one in American politics has ever seen before. This is why the Left seems to be so excited about its prospects of destroying our Constitution and turning America into the Socialist utopia they could only dream about in the past. However, the Left is totally missing one key element of this e******n cycle. That is the “fly over” state v**ers that are turning out in unbelievable numbers at every Trump rally! I firmly believe that these Americans are doing what they always do when America is threatened. THEY STAND UP, SALUTE THE F**G AND DO WHAT EVER THEY NEED TO DO TO PROTECT AMERICA! At this time in America’s history the best defense is to v**e and v**e Republican! I firmly believe that America will still be America on November 7, 2018.

If you have not v**ed, v**e and v**e REPUBLICAN! If you have v**ed encourage your relatives and friends that have not v**ed to v**e and v**e Republican!

It's interesting that you only seem to worry about money being dev**ed to the Democrats. Here's something to consider:

Is it time to overturn Citizens United, or do think only Republican money constitutes free speech?

in reply to working class stiff: I usually do not reply to post on my articles on this site but you made a reasonable reply with "polite " questions so I am replying. I am not in favor of Citizens United. While it was a "good idea" initially it has been, like most things in the Washington Cesspool, passed in such a way that it can easily be abused and violations not enforced. I also studied your link and immediately noticed that it only shows Soros as contributing only 1.4 million, which does not even scratch the surface of what he has contributed.

I appreciate that, hardwork1.

You may be correct about whether the numbers are accurate. Unfortunately, we really have no way of knowing who is spending how much on what or where. I'm no expert on the ins and outs of campaign financing, but the 'dark money' does seem to be altering how e******ns are decided. Not saying in who's favor, just noting that local races are no longer financed just locally, or less so at any rate.

There are other links with different numbers....but one thing most agree on is that dark money has changed campaigns.
