In the first part of the article he attacks the dishonest fund raisers.

There needs to be more exposure of fund raisers that take advantage of people.

Then the author immediately switches to defending David French.

Supposedly people like David French who constantly attacked candidate and President Trump and worked to get Hillary Clinton elected are not part of the problem.

The problem is both dishonest fundraisers and dishonest, self-described conservatives who work to defeat honest conservative candidates.

It is actually a big problem. Watching the usual establishment suspects rush to create a gaggle of “tea party” branded groups under their control was a super eye opener.

Like several here have said, I don’t donate to PACs and I darned sure don’t donate to the GOP. Only directly to candidates that I support.

Do you know a way to donate to the Trump campaign
without any of it going to the RNC?

Not off of the top of my head but I’ve gotten emails from the Trump campaign for donations. Nothing recent and the old ones have been deleted so I can’t give you a name. Sorry.

I can make no promises but I think this site is solely for the Trump campaign. If you find that contributions go to anyone other than Trump-Pence please let me know.

Trump-Pence MAGA

We both found the same thing. I sure hope they don’t give any to the RNC.

I got those emails and a thousand more, too. Down at the bottom, they all said the RNC would get some of the donation.

The emails I was talking about would have been donaljtrump.com same as the site we both found. I probably didn’t look at the fine print on the bottom. Next time I get one I will.

This is the reason you only donate directly to the candidates you support.

And the RNC and NRSC give your money to RINOs.

I only donate to the candidate. I only donate directly to President Trump via his official campaign website. I never donate to the RNC.

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/

Make sure you read the small print on the bottom. Most of them says not authorized by any candidate.

Example

Paid for by the
Committee to Defend The President
Not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee
www.CommitteeToDefendThePresident.com

Use of the name and likeness of any candidate, officeholder, or other individual is for the purpose of this PACs political communication only and IN NO WAY indicates any authorization by, affiliation with, direction from, or endorsement by that person of any kind.

I don’t see any disclaimer like that at donaldjtrump.com.

I’ve always thought that was campaign finance everyone could get behind. As a candidate you could only accept money from people in your district or state for senatorial candidates. No Hollywood/Wall Street money. PAC could still spread their money around, but only for gotv and general party oriented ads. No money to individual candidates. And PAC would have to have open books. They would have to show where ALL their money comes from, and how it was spent.

Copeland’s excuse was that flying commercial “like getting into a long tube with a bunch of demons.” I’m pretty sure I’ve sat next to the passengers he’s describing, and we all got through it okay.

Pathetic. Jesus dined with sinners and tax collectors. This moron can certainly fly coach from time to time.

Whatever hidden motives may be behind this peach, the author is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT when he says that Trump supporting conservatives should be livid.

And I am. F these people. Maybe some of them will wind up in jail.

David Bossie behind bars. Now THERE is something that David French can write about!

Don’t you find it the least bit awful that these GOP-e main street statists actually have much more efficient and above-board funding operations than these “conservative” organizations?
