Massie's Last Stand: AIPAC, $32 Million, and the Most Expensive Primary in US History | 05-20-26

Sam Bushman and James Edwards of thepoliticalcesspool.org break down Thomas Massie's primary loss in real time, the morning after. $32 million spent, 1,545 donors for Massie versus 70 for his opponent, and a concession speech that mentioned Tel Aviv in the first sentence. Sam and James dig into the AIPAC money, Trump's vendetta, the deal Massie made and Trump broke, and what the numbers actually tell us about the future: 81.5% of 18 to 29-year-old voters chose Massie. The establishment won the battle, but the war belongs to the next generation.
