McCarthy Fallout: GOP Fundraising Jitters (their real concern)

Real Clear Politics ^

[cotton1706]

Without McCarthy's "fundraising prowess" some moderate Republicans might lose their primaries! Oh no!!

[Recompennation]

The money of my enemy is my enemy.
Whose side are you on when they are both working against you.
Go ahead and choose the results are the same.
Is there anybody raising money that doesn’t have the taint of ‘ winred’ ?
That is an anachronism.

This week, McConnell, Cornyn, and Lindsey Graham realized they lost control of the Republican party. They're not at all happy about it.

The Senate sent a 45-day spending bill to the House with $6 billion for Ukraine. The House returned the bill with zero for Ukraine.

Lindsey Graham warned House Republicans not to vacate the speaker. 24 hours later, McCarthy was gone.

And they write it like it's a bad thing!!

A moderate Republican is a Democrat who is afraid to say they are ..

“Both Californians are powerhouse fundraisers”

Are they somehow irreplaceable? That seems doubtful. I doubt that there is money that will stay on the sidelines just because he isn’t Speaker anymore.

The right guy a ass kissing Democrat lights, but not for MAGA America First Americans!!

Let it be said, in the most fraudulent election in history Trump did not lose because of fundraising. Fundraising doesn’t mean a damn if you control the ballot box.

Gaetz has done the most to drain the Swamp than anyone yet.

[rarestia]

Agreed. I’m inclined to just let it burn. Let the socialists put their utopia in place. The people are too stupid to know from history. Let them suffer. My reward is in Heaven.

"Whose side are you on when they are both working against you. "

Brilliant- I hope you don't mind if I use that!

McCarthy doled out money to his RINO’s even when his RINO’s had primary
challengers WHO HE DID NOT FUND.
That’s why his RINO’s are grunting like stuck pigs.

This election will be decided on life or death for America and it WON’T be decided by slick tv ads.

[glennaro]

Just a reminder of the absolute truth that the most important objective to nearly every politician -- a driving force which is far, far more important than anything and everything else and which is of primary consideration in every thought, every word and every action they take while in office, is their re-election.

This is why Gaetz is being vilified. It has nothing to do with governing or failure to keep promises. It’s about fundraising for the GOP. What a bunch of dopes.

[Miami Rebel]

The history of moderate Republicans losing primaries only to see their seats go to Democrats is not insignificant. Without them the most fire-breathing Speaker becomes Minority Leader.

[CodeToad]

The bribe money won’t go as much to someone not the speaker.

[Miami Rebel]

Democratic progressives wanted Pelosi to fund insurgents against her incumbents. She refused.

If a party leader doesn’t back his or her caucus members she destroys the viability of her leadership. What rep would back a leader who would backstab him by backing a challenger?

[tennmountainman]

Then I hope all that money dries up. Let RINO’s fend for themselves.
A Speaker should NEVER take sides in a Primary. General election Yes
but never a Primary.
