In hopes of securing an unelectable candidate Democrats are invoking the McCaskill manuver , giving large sums to oppositional candidates with no public popularity in messaging....
Why? Because McCaskill and her pollster had calculated that “Akin’s narrative could make him the winner among the people most likely to vote in the Republican primary — and maybe, just maybe, a loser among moderate Missourians,” McCaskill later explained.
Now, a decade later, the McCaskill Maneuver is making a comeback. In Pennsylvania, Illinois, Nevada and Oregon, Democratic gubernatorial candidates have been trying to boost Republicans they think they can beat — and weaken whoever they consider their biggest threat.
Next up could be Arizona, where “Democrats are doing something similar with Kari Lake” — the GOP’s Mastriano-like frontrunner — “by focusing their energies in the primary not on speaking to the base, but rather on painting her as too extreme for Arizona,” according to Arizona Republic columnist Elvia Díaz.

Politicians doing anything other than actual work for the people. Good job dems. Spending more time and money on fooling the public then getting work done. No wonder why democratic cities are literal piles of garbage. Too much time dealing with votes, then getting actual work done to help the suckers that vote for them.
