Wow. Such violent imagery by the journ-o-list.
He was on journ-o-list.
But this perfect model failed in 2008 and 2012...
I think Trump is anticipating a massive voter-donation trend, where people who typically never gave to a Presidential campaign...are fired-up enough to give $200 to Trump’s campaign. Up until this last 2016 episode....I had never donated to a campaign. In that election, I fired off a fifty bucks with my brother matching that. If he runs again, I’ll probably up my donation to $200.
If the GOP is smart and just says they are only participating in forty out of the fifty states....giving up on California, Hawaii, etc...then they can stretch the budget and go further.
Are you going to handcuff yourself to the Titanic? Gotta love the NeverTrump drama queens.
Unless voter fraud is addressed and significantly reduced, a streamlined campaign will be meaningless.
The Communist/DNC Party will stop at nothing to insure their victory and final step to overthrow & destroy America,
We were sending $25 a month though it hurt 1ike a bitch.
Everyone can vote. Everyone can donate some amount. How about getting districts to compete with each other? Which districts support President Trump the most? Or maybe something similar?
Poorest contributor? Richest? Most toothless contributor? Fattest? Skinniest? Most fit? Ugly? Pretty? Short? Tall? Man? Woman? People who work in offices? People who work outdoors? Steel workers? Fast food workers? Farmers?
I’m serious. Could we show the U.S.A. the Party that will work for everyone and show it in new ways—even humorous?
Theme? Freedom! Anti-slavery! Busy! Smart! All kinds of individuals from all walks of life getting wealthier, one in each ad!
It’s the little guy that brought Trump to this path. The little guy is the one that the Democrats just waved at and didn’t care or support. I think there are tens of millions of them, and if they each gave $100 or $200 in the campaign....staying out of the loser states (California in particular)...it’d make a difference.
Agree. Up until 2016, I had never donated to a campaign. Then I donated to President Trump’s campaign and some state races I thought were important.
And I thoroughly enjoyed giving the RNC hell when they solicited me. Why donate to the party and loose control over how your money is spent? I’d rather donate straight to the candidate.
Voter fraud, especially ‘ballot harvesting,’ must be brought under control. If not the DNC is gonna have a field day in 2020 and this country may never be the same.
We got two years. Let’s see how stupid the Repubs can be on this issue.
This is the key argument to make...in that the RNC is really collection of comical characters hooked up to some weird lobbyists and trying to game the system with people like McCain, Romney or Ryan. So why support them? Go to your candidates that you like and support your own state office holders instead. I’ve reached a point where I think it’s a total waste to spend a dime in California for any GOP candidate.
This is polemic, not a news article.
I also wonder why anyone from the campaign or RNC talks to Politico.
If this were being done by a candidate I didn’t support I’d say they were just being cheap.
It’s a stark expression of Trump’s stranglehold over the Republican Party...
First, He got the idea from Hillary who did it behind the scenes, while he's being upfront about it.
Second, where do I sign up?
It failed due to the pansies they had at the top of the ticket
only because it occurs in Jan to Aopril 2020, how is Trump controlling the Census?
The chairman of our Republican Committee in WNC is one of the hardest working women on the Trump campaign.....along with her husband.....I have ever known.....
....and I have been politically aware and volunteering for a long time
She inspires all of us to do our best and do it right!....I count it an honor in being a worker bee in her group!
Now is the time to gear up for 2020....( actually it’s already started)
This is a serious problem and, if possible, this "merger" should not take place. I do not expect a serious primary challenge to Trump, although Kasich or someone else may mount a futile dog-in-the-manger protest campaign. As a legal matter, however, Trump will not be the Republican nominee until after the primaries. By longstanding tradition, the RNC defers to the preference of an incumbent Republican president in selecting its chairman. The president's pick effectively runs the organization. But the merger should not be official until it is ratified by the voters.
Remember, this essentially is what Hillary Clinton did with the DNC in 2016. It was bad business then. It is bad business now. The national committees should preserve their formal independence. For one thing, they are concerned with gubernatorial, Senatorial, and congressional races as well as the presidential contest. But more importantly, they are the entities that nominate the candidate, and that should be a fair process. As a practical matter, Trump wants to control the machinery of the RNC because he never built a real Trump organization in the states in 2016. Organizationally it was the RNC that did all the heavy lifting and carried Trump across the finish line. Trump flew around the country giving rallies. Post-primaries, it was Priebus and the national GOTV effort that got him elected.
