I don't know why no one's talking about the uncounted millions of super pac money that was spent in NC to help Trumper Ted Budd *narrowly* defeat Cheri Beasley for Senate. Beasley, a judge, was swamped by attack ads that started three months before the election on all possible media, some of them so full of outright lies that all NC TV stations finally took them down, but too late. Still, Budd barely won, thus showing that NC is deeper purple than ever. Forget getting rid of the Senate. Just get rid of Super PACs, all of them, and stop the flow of disinformation.

Abolishing the Senate is:
1. A bad idea
2. Sour grapes
3. Never gonna happen
The less we hear of the idea the better
Rest of the analysis seems spot on, granted the Democrats still shouldn't have assisted Trumpy candidates
