15. Campaign funds don't determine the outcome

We had the recent special election in Pennsylvania where Conor Lamb the Democrat was outspent by Rick Saccone the Republican. And yet Lamb did win by a razor-thin margin. Democrats shouldn't be discouraged by campaign funding, they should make it an issue. Are you voting for this guy because he's spending $ millions more than we are? Don't you want to know where that money came from? Don't you want to know what promises he made to get the money?

Democratic candidates have to be better and smarter, work harder, and earn the trust of the voters. Republicans will never do that, and that's why they all deserve to lose.
