20. Sharrod Brown was chasing the DNC
Wed Jan 6, 2021, 12:27 AM
Jan 2021

To send money and schedule a trip for either both Biden or Senator Harris or both as he was confidant that Ohio was in play. 10 days out from the election, the VP spent 2 days in Ohio.

Although Brown was not on the ticket, nor was Beto in TX they were the ones claiming the states were close enough for resources and visits.

Lost TX by over 5% and Ohio by 8

My wife and I budgeted 1000 dollars for democratic candidates. In the last month we were sending our last 300. She picked Jamie for 100, I picked that raging asshole Cal Cunningham and then we decided to send 100 to powered by people. The PAC Beto started in TX. Neither of us wanted to waste our money on Maine, we thought that race was over and Guideon had more money than. Ever for a seat in Maine.

Basically we blew 300 dollars. We did. It even look at GA. We blew that.

We made up for it to the best of our ability by sending a hundred to warnock and osoff in the run off
