Hey, it worked for President Trump. That's why so many career Republicans despise him- he didn't pay his dues, get in line and wait his turn!

“I wish we could give money to conservatives we support without it being dispersed to other candidates. Good for AOC on this one!”

You can - don’t sent your $ to the RNC - send it directly to the campaign of your choice.

This is not rocket science.

Trump isn’t the only party who’s the target of a coup.

We can, and most do contribute to individuals.

Find the individual’s website and contribute.

Sandy has proven those in charge claim power and wealth for themselves rather than ‘sharing’.

This is what communists do. They get a foot in the door of power then begin moving their own people into office to consolidate their power.
