WFB: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), which focuses on electing Democrats to the U.S. Senate, pushed payments to an entity run by liberal operative David Brock for research consulting despite leading Democratic Party operatives complaining he was killing the party, with one former Obama official referring to Brock as “fucking weird.”
The DSCC made two payments totaling $40,000 to Brock’s American Bridge PAC in mid- June for research consulting, the DSCC’s filings with the Federal Election Commission show.
Brock described American Bridge as “the Democratic epicenter of opposition research and rapid response in presidential and Senate elections” in a 49-page confidential memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon at a January 2017 posh Florida retreat hosted by Brock where he huddled with more than 100 donors to plot how to “kick Donald Trump’s ass.”
Numerous Democratic Party organizers and operatives around that time said they wanted the party to drop Brock following Hillary Clinton’s defeat.
“His ability to produce wins for Democrats is nonexistent,” Jeff Weaver, former campaign manager for Bernie Sanders, told the Daily Beast in January 2017. “He does not have the kind of understanding of what kind of coalition you have to bring together to win national races—that’s his fundamental problem.”
One Clinton aide told the Daily Beast that Brock was “useless” and said “you might as well have thrown those [tens of] millions of dollars down a well, and then set the well on fire.” keep reading.
WTF is up with that guy’s hairline? He’s like a manicured cousin it. He’s the freak of the week, every week.
Reminds me of This Island Earth.
After reading the linked article, I’m reminded of all the Progressive organizations that exist and the millions and millions of dollars they raise and shuffle around to each other in order to defeat Republicans and conservatives. And I wonder if they are really achieving that much, given all that money. Political organizing looks just like any other industry in many ways, and like a pyramid scheme, particularly. I think it’s rather funny that the Left thought it a great achievement that oblowme’s campaign had broken the sound barrier on campaign spending by exceeding a billion dollars. Like *that* is something to crow about.
I don’t know. It just had me thinking. I wonder if Trump’s bargain basement campaign and conservative frugality will have an impact on how people view money and politics and politicians.
So the Dems want someone who knows how to pull together a coalition to win a national election….hmm…has anyone done that recently??
I think it’s funny that they’re actually paying some whacky dipshit good money to screw up the party when they’re doing fabulous job of it all by themselves!!
I remember when this freak was a regular writer for the American Spectator. His suddenly took an extreme turn to the left and has been raving ever since. He’s one of the creepiest people out there, an unhinged radical homosexual with some grudge.
he looks like my mother-in-law!
David Brock turned into Barbara Bush so slowly that I didn’t notice before.
