13. Republican dirty tricks?

Although probably not the case here, I do worry about Republican dirty tricks. With their unlimited money and twisted minds I am sure they wouldn’t hesitate to intervene to boost a scandal, or even create one. Democrats really need to pick up the senate to have real options the final 2 years of this presidency and this is likely the most winnable senate pick up and now it looks pretty bleak. Big money can make a lot of people play dirty games.
