I read somewhere that Republicans spent $20 million to pass this thing, and it's going to fail miserably. Just icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned! That $20 million could've went to paying Trump's lawyers!
Don't be ridiculous, Trump doesn't pay his lawyers lol
Well, they get so much media exposure from representing him, that should be payment enough...
Don't forget, they also get legal exposure!
I assume many are religious so there is a third type of exposure they have undoubtedly received. Hat trick!
And as an added bonus, most of them end up living a while rent free! In jail of course.
Not surprising, but I’m pretty sure that it cost the state somewhere around $20m just to have this bull crap special election in the first place. Party of fiscal responsibility. Hah!
Fascist asshole Richard Uihlein spent $4 million of his own money on this amendment, and he doesn’t even have any connections to Ohio.
I'm sure if he dropped $4 million, it's probably a drop in the bucket for him, but that shit has still gotta sting!

I dunno about you guys, but Canadians get HUGE tax write-offs for political donations, so maybe the benefits outweigh the loss here.
And the GOP just learned an important lesson ... never let the people decide 'cause they are often smarter than the manipulative politicians (Brexit aside ofc).
New York Times says over $30 million
Even better! $30 million = a 10+ point loss! Keep shoveling the money into the fire Republican donors!
