RNC warning to Trump: If you run for president, we stop paying your legal bills, says official
ABC News ^ | 27 July 2022 | Jonathan Karl and Soo Rin Kim

Posted on 07/27/2022 4:07:32 PM PDT by zeestephen

Republican leaders who worry that Donald Trump could hurt their midterm chances by announcing a presidential run too soon are hoping he'll be dissuaded from doing so by the prospect of losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal payments, according to an RNC official. But an RNC official told ABC News that as soon as Trump would announce he is running for president, the payments would stop because the party has a "neutrality policy" that prohibits it from taking sides in the presidential primary.

“)There’s no need to pre-empt DeSantis who can clearly see he’ll run and won’t want a primary fight. He might succumb to a drafting at a much later date, but not now against a guy he likes, admires, and emulates in many ways.”

DeSantis agrees with a very strong conservative policy and likes what Trump accomplished. DeSantis is his own man and doesn’t need to emulate anyone.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars is what Donald Trump accidentally drops from his wallet when walking in NYC.

I don't think he's concerned.

The only people who hate Trump more than the DNC is the RNC

Gonna be interesting to see what the RNC does to keep DJT off the primary ballots.

.."doesn’t need to emulate anyone."

Perhaps not, but they are very similar, so whatever...

My question to you is: do you lean Trump for Pres. or DeSantis ?

This is the big question Rs will be facing, soon.

Rona McDaniel is Chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC)....and is the niece of ultra-RINO Senator Mitt Romney.

Y'all better believe she's out to get Pres. Trump and his followers anyway she can....i.e....using her position as clout.

I have not contributed to the RNC for years.

Ditto.

I don’t know anyone who still does.

Where are their donations coming from?

Ronna should’ve been fired in 2018.

Oh. The RNC. Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel’s RNC? Piss on her. When PDJT was going through hell on 1/6/21 she was partying with the beautiful people at a resort in Florida. That’s how she repays the man who made her career.

I hope Legitimate President Trump tells the RNC to kiss his ass. I will NEVER give the RNC a single dime. Legitimate President Trump can count on his supporters!

Those payments... are they to legal council Trump personally selects, or do the payments go to legal representation the RNC employs/chooses?

If it is RNC lawyers, losing the payments would be a step up. Allowing Trump to get rid of people who are likely sabotaging his efforts.

RNC is going to hurt more if they try to stop the majority of Trump Voters.
I block all donation calls from them and any mail goes in the shredder.

You, GOPe should work for us like you’re suppose to. You’re history, old scum!

I don’t send any donations to the Republican Party (they give it to people like Lindsey Graham). I send my donations to individual candidates.
