I disagree. Like Andrew said below me, there is only so much money can do before the market is saturated and it starts to make little difference. They say Tester is spending about even. So maybe he can benefit from more. I don't know. But what I do know is we've spent the last six months dumping money into cheap Montana for him and he's still on the cusp of being outside the margin of error according to most analysts.

In no way am I suggesting we triage him at this point at all. But Democrats are so flush for cash that we can afford to spend in Montana and reserve spots in Florida or Texas too. Rosen is looking solid in Nevada and Gallego has consistently led Lake. So even if we don't end up using it, reserving ads in Florida and Texas could pay dividends if we need to pivot at the last minute. If not now, when? We have the money right now to begin laying groundwork this cycle. This opportunity may not come back around while we are rich and facing highly unfavorable candidates in a presidential year. Now is the time if we ever will.

I do not understand what I wrote that you disagree with. You said Tester had less chance to win than we have in TX and FL. I disagreed. You respond saying you disagree with me because Tester has all the funds he likely needs and donations would make more sense in TX and FL. I never said otherwise. Indeed, I have donated to Allred and DMP every quarter. Please don't try to create a disagreement by disagreeing with something I never said and would not have said.
