Lib'rul Tears At Whatever The Cost
-
Whatever you think of her, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is very popular in her district, and there's practically no chance for anyone to beat her in an election. The district is overwhelmingly Democratic, liberal, and mostly black and Latino. So, why are right-wing Republicans spending a ton of money on challenging her? Do they think there's a chance, or are they doing it to annoy her and the Democrats? While they say it's both, it's probably the latter, and it seems weird that political donors would waste money on what is essentially a prank when there are actual contested elections elsewhere that could really use the money and attention. Maybe they want the Democrats to have to spend money and time on a race that would otherwise be uncontested, but she and they know that all the money in the world isn't going to make a difference.
