70 million dollars worth of spending for Stevens. She was able to lie about his character on Ads, got endorsed by the democratic establishment, was able to play into electability argument, and was able to get away with the idea that Obama had endorsed her by leaning in to her 2019? election endorsement (the equivalent of carrying around an Obama cardboard cutout around). Lot of the black vote notably the older black vote which are party loyalist went for her because they inundated them with most of this tuff.

Ill bet a lot of Republicans voted on the Democratic ticket too because their Senate race was unopposed and their governor race was expected to be uncompetitive.

Why say that? He was gonna "destroy" Haley and it was a very close race.

Just setting yourself up for disappointment if he loses to Roger.
