and absolute proof of the defendant's arrogant, egomaniacal stupidity to not see that. I rejoice in TSF's blindness to human nature, as it will be his undoing.

Taking out lines of credit but trump will use it all. The RNC will end up owing a whole bunch of money they cannot pay back because whatshisname used it all. The RNC will go bankrupt. I mean besides morally, as that has already happened.

After the parasites have sucked the Republicans dry, they'll move on to a different victim. And the customers will return to buy Republican politicians once the store starts putting "products" on the shelves that the "customers" are willing to buy.

It’s about purging anyone that could get in the way as they prepare for another violent coup takeover. Do not underestimate the amount of guns they have and militarily trained cultists ready to destroy

They're going to loot it for cash and anything valuable to pay for Trump’s legal defense and fines. None of them give a shit about the party.

The higher-ups in the party have to know that Trump is a loser. His one financial talent is shuffling his debt around, and he can't do that as effectively anymore. He's never win the popular vote. He lost them the 2018 midterms, the 2020 election- both the White House and Congress, the 2022 Red Wave was a trickle; his endorsed candidates lose way more than they win; there's a trail of people whose lives have been ruined because they associated with him like Rudy, and they know that he's going to use the RNC as his personal piggy bank.

The only thing I can think of for why they tolerate him is that if things had happened a bit different, the coup might have worked, and they could have installed a Christo-fascist regime, and one way or another, he's the best man to get that accomplished.

(even with the past RNC contributions) devoted to fund-raising efforts and calling donors. I don't know where they'll find the time to make up the loss of money from HQ.

Republicans, especially this generation of the critter, are really bad at managing anything. They're not sending Washington their best people. But all members of Congress spend most of their days fundraising. That's part of the sicknesses corporation dominated politics. It's wildly inflationary

We've been calling the trumps crooks and charlatans and con artists. But what they really are is bag worms
