The Republican Party likes to lose. They spend money in political races where they think they have a chance of winning. In 2020; the Trump campaign spent almost no money in New York or California. And he obviously lost those states. In Virginia 7th both parties spent millions for a candidate. Meanwhile Democrats spent money on almost every race. And they won almost every race. In my district the Democrat Congressman who has been there for over a decade did not buy tv or radio ads and only a handful of signs. His Republican opponent also only bought signs. Absolutely no television ads! The GOP did nothing for VA-8, VA-10 and VA-11! And surprise! The GOP lost VA-8, VA-10 and VA-11! The first rule of campaigning is to ask the people for your vote! The GOP never asks Democrat strongholds for their vote!
