A conundrum I've been thinking a lot about is how the kind of stuff you can fundraise the most *FOR* is at loggerheads with where change can likely happen. I bet if I made Great Slate 2020 all about unseating McConnell, Collins etc. directly I could raise stratospheric amounts.

Please, don't sell him short. He burned through $2.8M in a House race after the DCCC cleared the field for him, immediately resigned from that office to run for President handing it to a Republican, then immediately dropped out of the Presidential race.
