The Republican National Committee (RNC) failed to earn enough support from states to bring a resolution to ban paying former President Trump’s legal bills to a vote. Henry Barbour, who serves as Mississippi’s national committeeman, confirmed to several news outlets that the resolutions he drafted that would have prohibited the committee from covering the former president’s growing legal bills is dead. https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...ion-to-ban-paying-trumps-legal-bills-is-dead/ ___________________________________ Trump was already diverting most of his PAC money to pay his astronomical legal fees. Now, the people he's placed at the RNC will divert the party's money to him, too. This will leave only crumbs for other GOP candidates around the country. The 2024 campaign is already shaping up to be a financial disaster for the Conservatives.
Cool. When Trump wins in office he should use his dictator powers to tax registered democrat voters 5 dollars each a month to pay for the actions of their elected leaders and their political witch hunt.
Democrats hold vast fundraising advantage as Republicans face cash problems, disarray in crucial swing states On top of all Trump's faults, he's the worst parasite in GOP history. Conservatives support a guy who siphons off the bulk of donations to himself.
Which is why I think he’ll flirt with running in 2028 if he loses. Why would he cut off the money spigot?
Can we all just admit that Trump is literally trying to steal donations to enrich himself ? Laura Trump being the co-chair is laughable on its face. She declared that she felt “all RNC funds should be spent on Trumps re-election campaign”, and that they “would pay his legal bills”. She walked back the second statement recently, but I will bet any amount of money that they do pay a significant portion, if not all of them. This is outright grift. Apparently all the Republican Party needs is Donald Trump, and they dont need any congressional or senate seats, he can do it all by himself. Im sure we will see the righties supporting this, and I support you righties doing exactly that. PLEASE let him take all that money, and kill all the downballot races and see what he gets done…. Anyone wanna take bets on them paying his legal bills ?
Indeed. He'll be milking his maga horde until he dies and then his kids will use his corpse to keep the spigots running to the trump grifter clan.
How about the court fine every registered republican to pay for his legal bills for supporting a criminal?
Can't wait for a time when the other criminals realize all they have to do to get MAGA on their side is say bringing charges against them for crimes they have committed is a witch hunt. Or does that only work when you're Trump?
Totally different dynamic back in 2016... With so much Anti-Hillary sentiment (even among disgruntled Dems) and Trump being an Unknown Quantity. In 2024, Trump is a KNOWN Quanity. Totally different dynamic.
And Biden in 2020 And it got her more votes, just not where she needed them. Hopefully Joe doesn’t ignore the rust belt, but I think there’s zero chance of that.
I almost mentioned that Trump outworked Hillary down the stretch, which I expect to happen again, but we'll see. About the only thing I am certain of is that this is going to be the craziest election season I've ever seen. BTW, I like your new Old Yeller avatar.
If Trump is using all of the RNC's funds, the downballot candidates will be outspent as well. This does not bode well for them.
I used to own a shirt that said "Everyone is entitled to my opinion". I'm just living up to the high standard my teenage past self set for me.
I would imagine that it will have a major impact on the RNC’s overall fundraising efforts. Donors know that the money is going right into Trump’s pocket. If Haley Barbour couldn’t prevent this theft, the GOP as a national party organization is headed for ruin. (At least financially). This would have been a good time to move on from Trump. But the lickspittles couldn’t summon up enough courage to do it.
Ignore it? He went there and walked a picket line. The UAW prez was at the SOTU, the guy who called Trump a scab ... literally the worst thing that a union worker can call someone.
