A new FEC report shows that the Republican National Committee (RNC) is in dire shape, and Donald Trump is the main reason why. Here is the state of the Republican National Committee:
-In real dollars, the RNC had its worst fundraising year since 1993
-The RNC also had its worst *month* for contributions in a decade
-And to cap it off, they had a December burn rate of 137%, and spent more money over the past year than theyve taken in

The main reasons why the RNC is in such bad financial shape all relate to Trump. The former president is the de facto head of the RNC. Ronna McDaniel is his handpicked chairperson. The RNC has millions on Trumps legal bills, and the lack of enthusiasm for another Trump presidential run has caused donations to dry up.
The primary duty of political party is to promote the party and organize to maximize support so that the party can win elections. A political party organization is not supposed to be slush fund for a failed former president. Republicans have long complained that Trumps non-stop small donor fundraising has tapped out the partys donors and exhausted them. Donald Trump parasitically attached himself to the RNC and he is financially draining them of any life or chance of winning the 2024 election.

(13,003 posts)These Republican Mega Donors will dump an obscene amount of Billions into the PAC's and Republican candidates the closer we get to the election......
Even foreign countries: Russia, China, Saudis, Iran. Also mega uber Corporations.....Thank the USSC ruling in 2010 for that!
The Republicans/Oligarchs/1%ers/Corporations all suspect that it is this time THEIR TASK needs to be completed once and for all.....
The Republicans are famous for their "OCTOBER SURPRISE" just days before the election. Rat Fucking Extraordinarily Delivered just as people in the middle make their decisions. Comey & his FBI phony declaration of "New" Hillary emails two weeks before the election in 2016 was that year's October surprise. I don't expect we will have to wait for October this year, they will start dropping these phonied up October Surprises on us monthly, if not weekly, in the late summer and fall. The 95% Republican Owned U.S. Media will make sure these corrupt schemes are broadcast far and wide across America. With RW Radio and Fox News leading the charge.......
I keep saying........2024 will be a year, unlike any year in the entire history of our nation, and not in a good way..........
Katie Bar The Door, People......
There is absolutely No Way In Hell, the Republican Party and U.S. Corporations will let it slip away from them like in 2020......
And this time around, The Corporations, Uber Wealthy, The Republican owned Media, Russia, China, The Saudis and Iran will be
"ALL IN" to try to make that happen, once and for all time.......
(And they will also be going "ALL IN" on the U.S. House and U.S. Senate elections, and going for broke in those contests to take over Congress)

I hope Taylor swift comes on board and has some mega tours. She could offer 75% off tickets for proof of voter registration, perhaps add signing a vow to get 3 others to register.

(2,493 posts)There should be daily ads running from the DNC about telling the magats that their donated money is only going to trumps 83 mil settlement, not to mention his legal fees. Show them point blank how they're wasting their money. All you need to do is piss off 5% of them to stay home.

(9,068 posts)I think Trump wants to remake the RNC into something he, and he alone, controls.
As it stands now, he sees them as too independent. They make decisions as to how support is apportioned to various campaigns, both financially and otherwise.
He sees all that money they raise as a personal piggy bank for him, and means of keeping all the Republican candidates dancing to his tune.
If he controls the central organization of the party, he can protect his brand, and insure absolute loyalty from the party's candidates. If he makes a little money on the side, well, that's the whole point.
So he weakens the RNC and will probably insist that he's the only one who can fix it.

No matter how we want things to go in November, we shouldn't whistle past the graveyard. The outcome is far from pre-determined.
