Trump campaign rips draft RNC resolutions to contain him, not pay his legal bills
The New York Post ^ | 02/25/2024 | Ryan King

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign slammed two draft resolutions ***

The first resolution would mandate the RNC remain neutral in the nominating contest until he secures the necessary 1,215 delegates, while the second would ensure the party doesn’t foot his legal bills.

“The primary is over and it is the RNC’s sole responsibility to defeat Joe Biden and win back the White House,” senior Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita said in a statement.

***

Trump is also pushing for his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to serve as party co-chair, and North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley to replace Ronna McDaniel as the party chair.

***

Lara Trump drew attention to that when she recently suggested voters would be interested in having the RNC pay for Trump’s legal bills.

“Absolutely. That’s why you’ve seen a GoFundMe get started,” she told reporters at a gaggle, referring to a GoFundMe established to help Trump pay his $355 million civil fraud damages. *** Looming over all of this is the fact that the RNC’s books are in somewhat dire straits.

Last year, the organization took in $87.2 million and finished off 2023 with roughly $8 million cash on hand, per the Federal Election Commission.

That marks some of its worst fundraising figures in about a decade. In fact, if adjusted for inflation, that would clock in as the RNC’s worst fundraising haul since 1993.

The Democrat National Committee, by contrast, raked in $119 million and concluded the year with around $21 million cash on hand, according to the FEC.

Trump has been using Super PAC money to help pay his mounting legal bills.

Last year, Trump dipped into $48 million from Super PACs to help pay his legal expenses, according to an analysis from the Wall Street Journal last month. ***

Would that conservatives actually had a party to represent them.

The terrorist legal assault against him, every single case, is because he was a good Republican president, and these cases have been quietly smirkingly approved of by the GOPe.

Of course they should pay.

Henry Barbour — a longtime member from Mississippi...

Both resolutions are from Henry Barbour. I always thought that his dad was a big nothing.

Translation: "Please never vote for the RepukeLicking Party, ever again, after Trump."

Just another bunch of Bush prostitutes. It obviously is passed through the genes.

This is a temporary and very fixable problem.

If these folks at the RNC all want to get fired they know how to do it.

Lol.

It why I left that party after 40+ years, in the aftermath of January 6th, and will never go back. They don't deserve me as a registered voter in their party. And I will never again hold my nose to vote for a bad GOP candidate, just to keep the seat Republican. And because of that, it's likely, that after I vote for Trump for the third time in November, I will never participate in another election ever again.

A smart Freeper pointed out that this is why Haley stays in the “race”.

GOOD GRIEF!!!

First thing tomorrow, President Trump ought to DEMAND everyone’s resignation or somehow FIRE all of these inept, insidious rogues!!!

Get Michael Whatley and Lara Trump immediately at work to give us half a chance at winning in November!!

You are aware that Ronna was Trump’s pick. As usual his selection of people to run things is not great. Hell,it’s not even mediocre.

>>>You’re so right, Edison.

IMO, PDJT is practically perfect BUT hiring people has to be his Achilles Heel!!!

There is a difference between the RNC & Super Pacs.
