Rather than agonize over exactly what rationale Republican senators have for dismissing the case against Trump, let's just put a new Senate in there! If you have some money to spare, you can help rural get out the vote efforts in four contested states:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

Why fund these races when the goal is a Senate majority? 1) Senate campaigns will rapidly saturate with money 2) Rural House candidates run in the hardest parts of the state 3) They can run on more local, cross-ideological pocketbook issues 4) They have infrastructure in place

Replying to @schof
I gave a shit ton of money too. Unlike every other progressive group who tried to win red seats, we actually got a guy into Congress, and we nearly knocked out Steve King! But I was wrong about a lot. This year, my promise is that we will be wrong in new ways, or maybe even right

We raised five million bucks for long-shot Congressional races, won one seat, and helped a gifted novice Democrat move *Iowa 4* by twenty points, to within 3 points of victory. Anyone who gave to the Great Slate in 2018 can feel proud about that record, and what they helped do.

I viewed it this way: money to long shot-but-plausible Democrats was money that made Republicans overreact and spend effort on seemingly safe races. Meanwhile the "traditional" contended districts did swing blue.

It was a great pleasure to see Republicans panic and spend heavily to defend Alaska and rural Pennsylvania.

I wonder if there is some actual math here to determine effiency. E.g., we raised X dollars for Dem candidate, but Republicans retaliated by 3X. Even that feels good to me!

I would welcome such an analysis too. It should be doable with public numbers (although there are caveats like an enormous last minute outlay on an Alaska ballot initiative, which I believe was done with 501(c)4 money).
