“New prices! We want to pack the house!!!” says a posting on the party’s web site.

The Hillsborough County Republican Party has cut the prices for its Oct. 26 fundraising dinner with former Donald Trump political strategist Steve Bannon.

"New prices! We want to pack the house!!!" says a posting on the party's web site.

The premier "chairman's table" at the event, where Bannon will be seated, originally advertised at $20,000 for 10 VIP seats, has dropped to $5,000. VIP tickets have gone from $1,000 to $300, general admission from $125 to $50, and $15 student tickets — no meal or alcohol — have been added.

1. They will support him in private but they don't want to have their picture taken with him.

They worry about the backlash if they own a business.

3. I didn't think of that. The photo-op price holds little value for the reason you state. N/T

2. Way to much

I wouldn't pay five cents to see that piece of trash.

4. Is that what they're PAYING people to attend?

6. It's a pay-for-your-seat fundraiser, that's not an uncommon thing in politics

Ridiculing pay-to-attend dinners and you'd be finger-pointing at the D's, too.

The funny/sad part here is that they didn't realize that openly-identifiable, tiki-torch-bearing, committed, white supremacists, i.e. Bannon's core, are poor schmoes. Deep-pocket donors don't want to be within a mile of him.
