Republicans have a 'GOP problem' -- Georgia, Ohio and Pennsylvania: former lawmaker
Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Labor Day morning, former Rep. Dave Jolly (R-FL) said the Republicans' chances of taking control of the Senate are quickly slipping away because of terrible candidates in three key states as well as internal turmoil among the party's leadership over massive amounts of money that have been spent ineffectively by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).
Speaking with host Jonathan Lemire, a bemused Jolly noted Scott has put the party behind the eight-ball which has his fellow senators furious with him.
Add to that, three of the candidates handpicked to be the nominees for Senate seats -- two currently being held by Republicans -- are floundering as the money runs out, he pointed out.
According to a report from the New York Times, "By the end of July, the committee [NRSC] had collected a record $181.5 million — but had already spent more than 95 percent of what it had brought in. The Republican group entered August with just $23.2 million on hand, less than half of what the Senate Democratic committee had ahead of the final intense phase of the midterm elections."
