Top Republicans still believe they can retain control of the House of Representatives next year, but admit that Donald Trump's campaign is "adding a layer of uncertainty" in the closing weeks of the election season.

A memo sent Wednesday to Republican lawmakers from the House GOP campaign arm also warns that a growing fundraising gap with House Democrats "is unsustainable" and could lead to "substantial losses."

Lack of “ideological gap” with democrats is what makes the fundraising gap important.

(Article):" .. growing fundraising gap with House Democrats "is unsustainable" and could lead to "substantial losses."

Then you should have supported the Republican nominee earlier
and you should have excized the "No Trumpers", alleged Republicans, sooner
RYAN and Kaisch are just the beginning of putting out the trash !
You Party insiders created this issue over the last 6 years !!
Get a spine !..or die !

The fundraising problem isn’t because of anything except a failure to perform.

The very existence of this movement and ancillary candidates (including Trump) is due to republican failure to perform

Kiss my ass threatening me for money (not you GilGil!)

Hey lyin Ryan, pass your begging plate amongst your charity clients. Those refugees you are claiming as charity cases.

My congresswoman followed Ryan’s lead when then Trump false-accusers came out. Loyal, isn’t she? To Ryan and NOT to the party or her voters. I will NEVER give her another penny! This election has separated the cream from the sour milk!

Maybe the Republicans backstabbing Trump might have something to do with it. I’ll give the Dems credit for one thing, they NEVER stop supporting their criminal elected officials, no matter what.

The GOP seems to spend a lot of money on mailing "survey questions" and a begging letter.

I guess a friend of the leadership has the printing contract.

I just return them with the comment:

Money goes to Trump.....get back to me when Ryan goes.

I am open to suggestions...

I would reply “Do you really think that I am so stupid to believe that?

I guess so, since you didn’t protect the tea party from the IRS, Little Sisters of the Poor from Obama’s regulations, and released the spending caps but still want me to donate to you.”

Yeah, let's all send Paul Ryan money so he can 'GET THINGS DONE'... like pass amnesty... or do favors for the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS. ... We were all born yesterday Paul... we're NOT sending money on purpose. YOU and the elites in DC are NOT representing most of us... get your money from the NeverTrump elites...

The Republican Party isn’t the only party facing division, rancor and civil war. The rat party is in chaos with Bernie supporters swearing off the elected rat goons and stampeding to third party candidates or deciding to sit home and not vote. That’s millions and millions of voters, enough to endanger every congressional seat held by a rat.

Isn’t it interesting how the Nazis at the Washington Post refuse to report the chaos in the traitors party.

I see.

I live in the REAL world, NorthEast of CA.

Having some CA neighbors over for cocktails in two hours, their summer home is across the street but live in the Sacramento area. Good folks as long as I NEVER mention politics.

Dr PimplePopper, MD just a lot or two East of us, is a CA transplant. We don’t talk after I forced him to control his dogs...

Have an Astronaut/Astro Physicist and spouse just down the street - CRAZY libs, but decent folks otherwise. They are from Montana but were in CA for their entire careers...

Aside from that my neighbors are decent, except for the retired FBI agent. When his lips move, he’s lying...

Could be worse - but I left Bel Air long ago...

Well, Ryan, if the RNCe and downballot candidates had gotten behind Trump, he could have raised all kinds of money for the down ballot. But they didn’t so he didn’t. Tough cookies, buddy. Maybe you better get your donor base list out and start dialing for dollars ‘cause you’re not getting any cash from The Deplorables!

I ignore or throw out their mailings.

Surrender monkeys deserve to lose - nearly all of them.

I send all my money directly to Trump.

_________________________________________

NO, not enough money is NOT the problem! The problem is none of us believe in the republican party any longer and we’re not going to fund the opposition any longer.

We have spent our hard earned money to put them into office to do the people’s work. Once they get there they forget about who got them there until election time rolls around again. We are DONE being lied to by our own party.

This is the same “con” the Dems pull on minority groups.

If Trump is elected, then I would love for him to create/switch to a new party,calling it the Lincoln Party.
