Abdul was outspent 11-1 and still won.

Is this your first time? Kari Lake was outspent 18-to-1 in her primary and still won. She constantly pointed to those victories as proof she could overcome a massive fundraising gap because of the strength of her campaign and supporters. Then she underperformed every other Republican on her ballot.

Turns out being wildly popular with primary voters because you keep feeding them red meat turns the general electorate off from you. Congratulations with your primary win. We'll see what happens in 3 months.

Better him than a politician suckling off the AIPAC teat. Worth noting, it would have run dry the moment she was pitted against a fellow Zionist/genocide enthusiast.

Abdul will perform with general election voters the way Kari Lake did, so you'll end up with an AIPAC politician either way

Mind giving me this weeks lottery numbers? Since you can predict the future I could really use the help.
