the part of the national republican party that tries to elect republicans into the senate and to keep them in those seats once they've got them is called the national republican senatorial committee, the nrsc. cory gardner, the incumbent republican senator from colorado, used to run the nrsc until two years ago. but "the post" is reporting today that while that committee is spending a ton of money to save other republican senators, $1.7 million, $2.2 million, $3.2 million on other republican senate incumbents trying to hold on to their seats around the country, in colorado where cory gardner is, they have coughed up less than $150,000 total in the first half of october for cory gardner, apparently because they think this seat is a lost cause in colorado. there's support for that on the other side as well. the pac that's associated with the democratic leader of the senate, chuck schumer, today they also just announced they are pulling their money out of colorado as well because they don't think that democrat john hickenlooper needs any more help when it comes to beating cory gardner. t

i will just reiterate that the national republican party has since deleted that press release from their website, but it's a real thing. elliott broidy has now, as i mentioned, been charged with multiple felonies. he's charged basically with taking money illegally from foreign sources to get the justice department to drop certain prosecutions. but elliott broidy is tied up in a whole bunch of stuff. all the scandals involving the trump inaugural, he was a senior figure in the trump inaugural. broidy, you may also remember, was embroiled in a hush money payment scheme that was almost literally a carbon copy of the one president trump got embroiled in with porn star stormy daniels. i mean literally it was a copied thing. it does seem like the lawyers involved in both the trump hush money payoff and the broidy hush money payoff, the lawyers may have used the exact same documents and the exact same fake names for both broidy and trump's hush money deals. elliott broidy was also the key link to the trump campaign and the trump administration for convicted pedophile george nader, who for some
