The main problem was that Kentucky went R+26. Throwing money at a Dem candidate who isn't Manchin, hoping to overcome that difference was an exercise in futility. You'd have better luck trying to primary him.

Sure, money can't do the impossible, but if you only need a few percentage points it's pretty likely to help
