Whereas, the GOP's entire attack strategy almost certainly focused on just Biden and not a whole lot of policy attacks. With Biden out, that money may as well be a pile of cash they lit on fire. They've also spent quite a bit on content they haven't released yet that is no longer relevant to this election. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Delusional@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago They're pretty good at wasting money if you look at the last few republican presidencies.
