Might as well spend that money in a more competitive district than throw it away on a race they know they aren't going to win anyway.

It's the political equivalent of the white flag.

It does concern me a bit because Hillary pulled ads from MI and lost.

Because they know they’ll lose to the Democratic candidate, Lamb.

NRCC is all hands on deck for redirecting money toward races they think they can win.

I read an article last Friday about how they were saying there are going to be a lot of unhappy, in danger Republicans who get their funding pulled because it's determined the seat is swinging blue and no amount of money can change it.
