$3.1 million on private jet services $1.3 million on limousine/chauffeur services $17.1 million on donor mementos $750,000 on floral arrangements $80,000 in alcohol-related expenditures
Under the current leadership, the RNC has spent more than $150,000 on what could be considered non-essential office expenses, including $25,000 on Commonwealth Joe coffee, $7,000 on cupcakes, nearly $7,000 on candles and diffusers, and $75,000 total at Pottery Barn, West Elm, Restoration Hardware, and Crate & Barrel. In addition, the committee’s FEC reports show expenditures totaling $381,000 classified as “Furniture Expense” during the same time frame.
More than $100,000 was spent at high-end clothing stores such as Rhoback, REI, Nordstrom, Vineyard Vines, Footjoy, Ralph Lauren, Carhartt, and Smathers & Branson. An RNC vendor tells RedState that the Vineyard Vines expense ($12,000) was likely for embroidered jackets RNC staffers recently received.

I’ve tried to warn people about the GOP’ers.
OMG! ALL THAT CARBON!.........................
Maybe a man would allow himself to be cuckolded by his wife if her lover pampered him and showered him with gifts.
That's sort of the analogy I draw here.
Careerists looking out for themselves. Maybe when cornered they can muster up some actual concern for the Nation.
I’m not sure what the point is here. Do you want to walk into offices of the party and see IKEA?
Ronna McMoMo grrl be livin high
Could we ask the Democrats to put forth their spreadsheet?
Nah.
We wanna see folding chairs and card tables.
It’s what they tell us our offices and factories should look like.
Wow, what a sick image you paint, and fits so well in this case.
Democrats bend you over before they run you through.
Great choices we have, right?
You’d have to be a damn fool to give those grifters a dime. Find your candidate and send him a check directly.
Even worse than the junkets for RNC staff is the ‘fund raising’ costs being incurred.
According to talk this morning, the RNC spends 40% of the donor money on ‘fund raising’.
So if the RNC raises $100 million, they spent $40 million on fund raising.
Now we have a better understanding on why GOP candidates are underfunded.
Hey, you can’t lose elections operating on a shoe string!
Replace the MC’s; McDaniel, McConnell and McCarthy.
Our politicians have become true royalty with all the pomp and circumstance and lavish living.
Indeed.
On top of that, RNC sent fundraisers out using Trump’s name.
Their latest trick is to say “a few weeks ago, you said you’d make a generous contribution of X dollars, but we haven’t received it yet.”
My response is “no I didn’t “, and hang up.
