We, of course, know the reason why:

1. Because they spent so much money to defeat EVERY conservative across the country to protect their precious Senate, and

2. Because none of us are giving them a dime, and are enjoying hanging up on them when they call.

This is the idiot that blew how much in 2012 with zero results? Then it was the people. When he finally runs out of excuses, perhaps he will realize that its him that is the issue.

They used to call me all the time, I told the guy that when the RNC grew a pair, actually returned to the Conservative values of the party and got rid of Boehner, maybe, just maybe I’d donate. Otherwise I donated to the Conservative Candidate of my choice. Needless to say, they don’t call anymore.

I can only speak for myself but I haven’t donated one dime to the R party since they began openly insulting Americans, since NY’s R Hanna insulted Americans who voted for him, since they sought amnesty for millions of lawbreakers while forcing honorable immigrants into expensive pretzel processes to immigrate, and since they exalted such members as C Powell and C Christie, both of whom do more for the Dems than for Repubs.

The R party also has no visible principles, other than to work with the most generous donors. The R party ignores, if not detests, Americans.

I HAVE recently donated to J Ernst, the NRA, and SarahPAC. To paraphrase A Lincoln, “they fight!”

Maybe if he still had some of that cash he blew in 2012 to no result, he could be spending it on no results this year.

To win, Republican candidates have to effectively defend themselves. For instance, they have to be able to address Democratic charges that the GOP has conducted a "war on women."

Maybe, just maybe they actually need to coherently communicate conservative/ constitutional principles. This can only be done by a candidate who believes in those principles, think Ted Cruz.

In other words, dump Karl Rove and the establishment and become a truly alternative party. Thad Cochran outspent his Tea Party opponent, and barely squeaked out a win. How much $$$ was wasted there? Personally I will not give a dime to the GOP until they get their act together, nor will I vote for them against Hillary if they serve up another McCain/Romney type. I'll stay home.

I have to agree with you. If my preferred candidate is defeated in a primary, I will usually just shrug my shoulders and support the winner of the primary in the general. But this year, with McConnell and others spending millions of dollars to specifically and openly target conservative candidates across the country, even going so far as to directly ask Dems to intervene in a GOP primary to defeat another GOP candidate, I feel no loyalty to the party. They obviously feel no loyalty to anything other than preserving their own position and privilege.

Even now, before the election even occurs, you have people like Boehner talking about passing amnesty in the lame duck. If they are openly talking about that now, before the vote, what makes anyone think they will be MORE conservative once they don’t have to face the voters for another 2 years?

I’ll give to Sarah but never Rove. And he does hate her.
And she could kick his fat ass.

Mississippi turned a lot of people off. You reap what you sow.

Actually, I’m giving more money than ever — but ONLY to the campaigns of candidates I respect.

Why should I fund the GOP’s “professional consultants” who always seem to prefer soft RINO-inspired messages?

I wrote and told the RNC that after Mississippi I wouldn’t give them a dime. I’ll give to individual candidates instead.

I just print out a handful of those McCain Pesos and send them back in their prepaid envelope.

The reason why the GOP may blow the election begins with an 'M'.

It's not money.

It's Mississippi.
