  The GOP’s much-touted, small-dollar fundraising platform WinRed, created in response to the Democratic-aligned ActBlue, lost millions of dollars during the midterm election cycle, according to top Republicans.
  One Republican familiar with the privately held entity’s finances said it lost about $6 million over 2021 and 2022. A second confirmed the loss but believed the total was not quite that high. Both spoke on condition of anonymity.
  
  Nice, I'll always be a fan of republicans wasting money for nothing. Keep it up, guys!
context: To say it lost money means it cost more to run than it took in. But if the whole purpose was to make the operating costs the reason to run it, then whoever got those payments, fees,, and salaries won big. >
  
  Exactly. The donors lost money. WinRed’s executives made plenty of money. >
  
  "laundered millions" >
  
  How much did the people who ran it lose? How much did they walk away with? >
  
  How can you ask these questions when M&M spokescandies are no longer sexy? >
  
  Sorry, but i can't hear you over the sound of Hannity not getting waterboarded for charity. >
  
  What was that you said? Sorry I'm still watching reruns did you guys know that Obama once wore a tan suit? >
  
  Conservatives have a fundraiser, rubes donated, and money disappeared.  So, it worked as intended. >
  
  Imagine that. Republicans sitting around a giant pile of money that gets "lost" somehow.
