Trump's clash with GOP over using his name in fundraising ignites midterm worries

"If you control the money, you control the party," Republican donor Dan Eberhart told CNN on Tuesday. "Trump has effectively stunted the RNC, NRCC and NRSC this cycle because they are going to have to spend an awful lot of time worrying about friendly fire from the MAGA crowd."

"The MAGA endorsement is going to loom large this cycle for everyone. When Trump puts his finger on the scales, it may prove decisive in a lot of races," said Eberhart, who said he is considering a Senate run in Arizona. "There is going to be a lot of consternation when Trump backs a different candidate than the NRSC and the NRCC in primary races. Serious people are going to get burned."

"Serious people are going to get burned"

By "serious people" he means the usual milquetoast moderate types who don't have the stomach to do battle with the left.

You'll note it never occurs to them to align the NRCC and NRSC and RNC with candidates Trump, et al would support.

Oh, no! They're troublemakers!

Add in whenever the big reveal about Biden’s resignation from office in favor of Kamala and the Republicans will be reconfirmed again in backing Trump over the sell out by the GOP during the election.

If you are a moderate GOPer and planning a 2022 campaign...you probably ought to start writing your resume and thinking about a new occupation after the primary.

In my state I was automatically registered to vote when I got my drivers license in the late 80s. Since it was automatic it went in as Independent. Post-Reagan the GOP has never given me a reason to want to switch it from (I) to (R). And lots of reasons to go out of my way to not do so. I’m still there.

No worry for Trump voters.
Big worries for RINO’s, backstabbers and Globalist.

Mitch’s bitches need to go.

Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio need to be replaced in 2022.

Blunt has already said he is quitting, MO should be able to do much better.

Other than GOP voters and others who love the country, just who is Trump trying to please with this insane strategy?

Frankly, though I see it as the uniparty, I want the democrats to own what’s coming. I swear that deep down I wonder if Trump did too. If you get my drift...

Why would they want to use Trump’s name when we’ve been told for years that it’s GOP political suicide? 🤔

He endorsed Tim Scott, too.
Bet he ends up endorsing most of the Bush League Republicans we need to replace.

We will never Make America Greta Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.
