I'm speaking no matter the money infusion? You can only lead a horse to water.

I get this, but these dollars need to be spent where they might actually do some real good. Here is most probably not the place. We need the senate.

The funds are being shared to multiple Dems. running for Senate. We only need 3 to win for Mitch to lose his majority seat when Dems. control the Senate.
Sadly, McGrath is polling 12 points down in Kentucky, so contributions need to go to other candidates that have more possibility to win.

It was going up about at over $50,000 a minute for the 6 minutes I was watching it earlier. At 10:30 PM pacific time.

For comparison, the average rate during August was about $10,000 / minute.
