Dems, ever wonder what the DNC does with all that money you donate to them? You and George Soros, I mean?
Democratic groups are running ads designed to boost more extreme or more pro-Trump candidates in hopes of getting a Republican nominee who — in theory — would be easier to beat in the primaries.
There's an unusual trend in political ads in this year's primary season. Democratic groups are running ads in hopes of boosting far-right candidates. The goal, as the theory goes, is to wind up with a Republican nominee who would be easier to beat come November. The latest such case is in a congressional primary in West Michigan. NPR's Don Gonyea reports.
If you're wondering what all that means, let me explain it. The Dems are making, and paying to air, ads that are designed to help pro-Trump candidates with their primaries. Because they seriously believe that a pro-Trump Republican would be easier to beat in the general election than a RINO.
The ads are designed to be deceptive.
[Peter Meijer] is one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump in January of 2021. Because of that vote, he has a primary challenger - former Trump administration official John Gibbs. Gibbs has little name recognition, but suddenly he is the subject of an ad on TV being funded by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
That ad claimed that his opponent, Tony Gibbs, is too conservative, too anti-illegal alien, and too supportive of Trump. Exactly what will make Trump supporters turn out in droves for Gibbs.
Get that craziness? In the twisted Democratic Party strategy, helping Trumpers win their primaries will save the Dems from losing their majority in November 2022. Because Trumpers will be easy to beat!
How is this wrong? Let me count the ways:
1) Screwing over Republicans "brave" enough to oppose Trump. The very Republicans - like Meijer - who the Democrats have been praising so fulsomely are now targeting for primary losses?
One prominent Republican, Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who also voted to impeach Trump and who's a member of the January 6 committee, is very critical of such attacks.
No shit. He'd be a prime target. He's retiring, but his sister in treachery, Liz Cheney, has a primary eleven days from now. Think the DNC has been "helping" Cheney like they did?
