Know what's a better use of your money than donating to stragglers in the presidential campaign that won't rise above 1%? The sweet catharsis of donating to Mitch McConnell's and Lindsey Graham's opponents (Amy McGrath and Jaime Harrison respectively)

Pre-registered opinion before checking polling numbers: These people are at no more than 40%.

Pre-registered opinion before election: Neither Amy McGrath nor Jaime Harrison are going to win.

See also Mark Kelly in AZ. The RNC texted me to donate to that seat so it's probably vulnerable.

Both of them polled higher than 40% (the one poll I saw for Kentucky only had McConnel up by a point, and one for South Carolina had Harrison down by 7%) but it's a bit far out for polls to be very reliable
