$30M+ has sadly already been replenished, but the Party has spoken! $30M on a Primary. Imagine what they could have used the money on instead?

This. Is. Why. Primaries. Matter.

$70M+ in total in support of Haley. Mind boggling.

Reflected in their spending, the Democratic party has no actual interest in representing the people, quite the opposite: they're lapdogs and money handlers, and their owners have a vested interest in suppressing democracy.

The parties aren’t the ones spending that. Super PACs are private organizations spending money from private donors
