Just explained that all of them are obviously appealing to their constituents so they obviously were the better candidates. My opinion on who is good or bad in districts and states outside my own is irrelevant.
Odds are no amount of money is going to elect a progressive in, say, Idaho, or a Trumper in Lake View.
Again, your notion that money controls is obscuring the real issue.
Strawmanning it up as usual. No one said AOC was getting elected in Idaho. But in districts that are competitive, money makes a huge difference. And a well funded conservative is going to trounce a poorly funded conservative almost every time in Idaho.
Again, if money is so inconsequential, why do congress members spend half their day trying to raise it; and why do billionaires, millionaires, and corporations shovel so much of it to politicians. What good would a “Super PAC” be? Why do Super PACs exist?

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.
