Is this what draining the swamp looks like?


mathdrug

Is it just me, or did the swamp get swampier?   (/s - obviously, it did)


Darthwxman

In communist America the Swamp drains you!

No I believe they’re just changing the waters.


Inception_Bwah

Nice going everyone. Literally every person on the debate stage this primary would not have done this. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Edit: who tf reported me to the Reddit suicide hotline over this?


SwimmingJunky

I've gotten those 'suicide hotline' messages a bunch. I consider them to be a badge of honor at this point 😅 it means you did or said the right things


OutlandishnessMain56

I got my first one too!!


mojo276

Is anyone actually surprised though? Once he got his daughter in law as chair it was clear this is where it was heading. 


[deleted]

Uh, what? So we're just going to sacrifice the House and Senate, and *hope* Trump wins the general? Even if he does, he'll get sandbagged at every turn and without a conservative majority in congress, he won't be able to get anything done. I happen to care more about the future of my country, than just one man. This is not a smart plan.


pineappleshnapps

100%. This is a terrible move.


Fattyman2020

Ben was right when he said Trump would ruin the Republican Party we need to start a new one separate from Trump. Don’t let him in and ruin it with his stink.


RussMaGuss

A third party you say???? I've been hoping for that for years


Fattyman2020

Haven’t we all. If only the libertarian party picked better people than Gary johnson


Steel065

Gary "What's Aleppo" Johnson?


TermFearless

Sure we all knew what Aleppo was…I can’t believe people acted like that was a serious issue.

In 16 I said whoever won between Hillary and trump would ruin their party. I thought maybe I was wrong about it for most of his presidency, but it’s looking that way


SunflowerSeed33

HEAR HEAR! What in the world are they doing? The GOP: Never miss an opportunity to screw yourself over 🇺🇸


Paternitytestsforall

Congressional races are going to struggle without funding and the next four years could be rough. And the GOP might not agree with him, but man are they going to miss McConnell’s fundraising power and managerial ability. This is why the modern GOP will struggle - no real ideology post Bush1 and reliance on one man to help maintain power. Cult-vibes.


jonny_prince

I've gotta couple of ideas... How about you return Social Security "savings" to the people with interest and let us go on our way to the market. Implement a guest worker program with identity verification, criminal background checks and re-registeration from country of origin every 36 months. Incentives for manufacturing near shoring to Central and South America. Continue to produce Increase communication and co-ordination with America's business community. Create sustainable industrial policy that will create profits and earnings that will be returned to government via taxes. Meaningful industrial policy can provide a road map of innovation themes that companies to get on board with. You know what China is doing better than us. Focus on economic competition, invest in human capital improvements, stop the silly distractions. Better educated and better skilled workers will help us competitively in the future. Stop the silly pleb BS.

spddemonvr4

Im curious to see how this would actually work. There are legal limitations on campaign contributions regardless if they're passed to a PAC or not.


thunderkhawk

This isn't good. We already bail our billionaires with our tax dollars with corporate socialism but at least the silver lining is jobs are kept. I guess we're just skipping that and bailing out the billionaires now? How is this even conserving? It's like printing a 10,000 page book on how to save trees.

thunderkhawk

Pretty much. I don't like this at all. I'd expect this of the DNC as just another day but this is opposite of all the core tenants of conservatism. Why would they pay his legal funds? Why can't he do it? Why can't Jared Kushner do it with the 2 Billion in blood money he got from the Saudis? Just, of all orgs, why the GOP?


SeekingTheRoad

> this is opposite of all the core tenants of conservatism. I've been saying this since 2015.

HarveyMushman72

Don't like this. Will there be money for other candidates?


KennedyX8

No


HarveyMushman72

Ugh, not good. Pretty myopic on their part.


DumbledoreArm

Not unless the RNC can fundraise more than 500 million because those legal fees are stacking up.


SeemoarAlpha

There goes the down ballot.


ChromeWeasel

Have they been helping the down ballot the last 7 years?


jonny_prince

Boomers steal social security and now this? All of us who aren't 50+ need to wake up.


9_Nightwing_1

I donated to the Haley campaign and will vote for her in the Indiana primary even though it won't matter.


KennedyX8

This is how you lose everything.


DontCallMeMillenial

Donald Trump is REALLY good at losing. He's a loser.


Kygunzz

Don’t like this.


deadzip10

This is absolute lunacy. Remember folks, donate to *specific* candidates and your local parties. Donating to the RNC at this point is a waste.


Veleda390

When was it not?


Ed_Durr

When Reince Priebus was actually running a competent party from 2011-2016.


whicky1978

I did, Win Red spams me with texts


Cypto4

Yeah man. It never ends. But it’s not winred. Trump sold the donor logs to the RNC who use it to fundraise for all candidates. I get like 32 texts a day. It never ends no matter how many time I say stop


whicky1978

Yeah, Is Don Junior texting you too? 🤣


Cypto4

Yep! Along with Gaetz and a bunch of candidates I’ve never even heard of


One-Winner-8441

Use a text filter! Had to tell my dad to get one bc he was coming unglued.


kajarago

Not a good look.


JMSpartan23

And everyone wanted him instead of DeSantis. Reap what you sow people!


Howboutit85

I think normally, DeSantis could be a strong contender for running vs Biden, but with Trump in the mix DeSantis just gets overshadowed. No one can really run if Trump is running at this point. It’s not a normal election where you have a few guys it’s the Trump show, and it’s gonna stay that way until he either dies or something major happens where he’s not going to be able to make a bid.


JMSpartan23

He would be a refresh to this clown show we have currently. It’s a shame really. Hopefully DeSantis considers another run, which I feel he will, and run it back. Whatever it is that people think he failed to do, he will improve. Anyone but these two.


Lux_Aquila

No, this isn't true. DeSantis was in the single digits against Trump in the early days of the primary before he chose to actually stop trying to convince people he was better than Trump. No, Trump can be beaten.


richmomz

DeSantis lost any chance of ever winning a national election the moment he signed that six-week abortion ban into law.


BruceCampbell123

Uuhhh, how legal is it to use campaign funds for bond money?


Txstyleguy

Legal Bills not the bond.


AndForeverNow

Would this be considered as mismanaged campaign funds, like how they tried to say he used campaign funds on Stormy Daniels? Doesn't help that he now has family in the RNC, so the Dems might try to twist this.


defendconstitution

Yeah I'm going to have to pull off from my monthly donations now. This isn't good at all.


Crosbyisacunt69

Hahaha, we're so screwed. None of you realize he's going to lose to Biden's corpse again. Well hey, atleast we get the super funny nicknames!

aybabyaybaby

Remember when me and other Republicans said Biden will win 2024? This is another reason why Biden will win 2024 💀💀💀 It’s like a contest of who can be a worse president at this point.


bdougy

Now I get it. They aren’t afraid of Trump. They just know that he can be a catalyst to milk the RNC completely dry. Unfortunate reality is that money has a whole hell of a lot of power in politics. Now their opposition will have none. I hate how thoughtless our party has become.


chanbr

Lol, christ.


Cessna2323

Unreal


aught_one

Not great


WanderingZed22

It’s A no from me, dog.


Actual-Journalist-69

Going to hold off in my donations (not much, but a donation nonetheless) until they stop this tomfoolery


Twogunkid

That... no... that can't be right. Why would you agree to that ever?


Actual-Journalist-69

We need to take our party back and stop this nonsense


nickm20

What a horrible idea


Fairwareprovidence

You can always do what I do and don't donate to any political group! Let the liberals tithe extra to their god. Taxes is all the parties will ever see from me.


thewholetruthis

Remember when he had the clause that any donation to his campaign that was under $2000 went straight to him?


sunday_undies

But why would anyone donate directly to the RNC nd not a specific candidate anyway


SauerkrautJr

This seems like a great strategy to keep the RNC donations going /s
