What good is all this money doing when a senile 80-year-old witch is cleaning our clock?

When is Kevin McCarthy going to demand that Hunter Biden come before the committee? When is he going to demand to speak to the whistle gossiper? I don’t care how much money you’ve taken in. Kevin McCarthy put down the freaking drink and do something.

What Committee does Kevin McCarthy chair that he would be able to make such a request?

We prefer to pay by check instead of using credit cards. Is there a way to give to the Trump campaign by check?

[Republican Wildcat]

I looked around at Trump’s official website and could not find that as an option.

Of course in the internet search for other information virtually everything that came up was a lying article about the contents of Trump’s phone call. It is uncanny how may people just lie without any reservations - I guess they are counting on few people looking up and reading the transcript for themselves.

Is that the total for the quarter or the total for the campaign?

I had wrongly said on the Booker thread the other day that there was a September 30 deadline. The 3rd quarter ends Sept 30 but the campaigns have at least until Oct 15th (and possibly Oct 20) to file the reports.

I’m thinking the 3rd quarter hasn’t been posted yet.

“If not for Trump the RNC wouldn’t be bringing in squat.”

true. which is why the RNC agree to do ALL of their fundraising jointly with Trump. But that’s good for Trump for three reasons:

1. It essentially gives him ownership of the RNC, and therefore ownership of the GOP.

2. It raises money for Congressional races, which is vital for taking back the House, and taking back the House is vital because Trump will be stalemated his last four years if the House remains in the hands of the Dems

3. The RNC isn’t going to be handing out money to candidates that badmouth Trump.

****************

I appreciate your points and understand the need for congressional support but trust me, Trump’s influence in the RNC will never be great much less amount to anything close to “ownership”. The RNC does what the really big donors want it to do. Yes, Trump is bringing in boatloads of money but the RNC knows his time in DC will be limited while the other contributors have a permanent presence in DC.

I say this as someone who is related to people who have worked inside the RNC.
