Given the level of Trump family management prowess, RNC bankruptcy is almost assured. Good news! dutch777 Mar 2024 #1
That was my thought, too - why would Republican candidates run if they get no support from the RNC?? Rhiannon12866 Mar 2024 #2

If Lara Trump takes the reins and really diverts almost all funding to Donnie as she said she would, many donors will stop support to the RNC and down ticket candidates in many key races for the Repugs may lose much needed funding support unless they have a name that draws sugar daddies. What may be good for Donnie, may continue the downward spiral of the GOP as we knew it as a functioning party.

TFG, who has been everything from Republican to Democrat to Independent - and we don't know if he ever even bothered to vote - is turning the Republican party into his private PAC. And it's sure no longer "the party of Lincoln" or even the party of Reagan who was tough on Russia, supported immigration and also actively supported President Clinton's efforts to pass the Assault Weapons Ban.
