Trump Megadonor Adelson's Republican Spending Spree Is Ending Billionaire’s widow is giving far less to GOP super PACs Largest shareholder at Sands spends much of her time in Israel bloomberg.com ...Without the Adelsons’ big donations, some Republicans worry they could face a cash crunch heading into the midterms. The party is favored to take a majority in the House, though its chances of controlling the Senate have deteriorated due to the fundraising struggles of candidates in battleground states. The money Democrats are drawing in response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling that reversed Roe vs. Wade and ended the national right to abortion has also put the GOP at a disadvantage.

First you challenged my saying Biden had a 45% approval rating. That is what I was talking about

I have never suggested the spewing money won't help someone's polling numbers. The entire problem, though, is that it does so by harming the nation.

This is, of course, the gimmick: Promise money to taxpayers going into the election, even though he knows it won't hold up in court. Then, he can always say, "Oh, those bad Republicans blocked your payoff".

Democrats are stupid as a whole, and should be able to see right through it, but can't.

So, it could end up being a winning tactic for Biden, but it is a losing one for the nation.
