The professionally republican party members, led by Ronna McDaniel Inc, are not happy with the grassroots MAGA voters who are not filling their party campaign coffers at the anticipated rate.
If the donors of the grassroot MAGA base continue to withhold financial contributions, mostly due to a lack of club alignment with the priorities of the voting base and the right wing of the DC UniParty refusing to act for our interests, the professional republican club business may suffer. The tenured board members of the club are not happy. Not happy at all. [Washington Examiner Article]
Keep in mind, the only two times in the modern Republican club era when grassroots funds exceeded the corporate Wall Street donor class, was in 2010 with the rise of the Tea Party and then again in 2016 with MAGA and Donald Trump.
Small dollar donations (under $250) within the GOPe club were never a part of the established republican club priority, until they saw what can happen when the grassroots mobilize. It was the scale of donations from the Tea Party base (monster vote) and MAGA base (monster vote) that stunned former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus in 2016. Mr. Priebus temporarily convinced the GOPe Club owners (board members) to tamp down their open hostility and verbal disparagement against the base.
The professionally republican club members, including Ronna McDaniel Inc, despise the vulgarian deplorables with a condescending intensity that drips from their pursed lips as they sip white wine spritzers from their crystal goblets at cocktail parties. It’s a similar dynamic of hatred on the DNC club side of politics toward the Bernie Sanders vulgarians; although Obama Inc (Plouffe, Axelrod, et al) taught the Pelosi crew to hide it better.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “We do these massive 3,000-person surveys to our donor file,” Moffatt explained. “The verbatim [responses have been:] It’s gas or this donation; it’s vacation with our children or this donation.” Republican insiders interviewed for this story were more guarded when discussing the Trump factor in the second-quarter fundraising downturn experienced by so many GOP candidates and groups, fearing reprisals by the former president. Granted anonymity, they unloaded.
Republicans are critical of Trump’s fundraising tactics and the money he has taken off the table for Republican candidates and groups to raise and spend. Save America, Trump’s PAC, issues dozens of email appeals daily and raked in $103.7 million this cycle. If the former president were sharing the wealth, perhaps Republicans would be less resentful. But Trump appears to be hoarding cash, $103.1 million through June 30, for a 2024 presidential bid. (read more)
Ronna Romney McDaniel does nothing about the scumbag Legacy Liz Cheney.
Ronna just strikes me as an altogether lazy and clueless Swamp Legacy person who has been given a great job not to do.
So perhaps TPTB can assert themselves and say we can DO NOTHING about Ronna Romney McDaniel and there is nothing that can be done to budge her from getting her mani-pedi, sipping on a latte and playing games on her phone.
We get it!
So Ronna Romney McDaniel is the Poster Girl for the Republican National Committee
and that’s the best they’ve got.
Ronna raised, bundled and funneled, and THATS why she has her position, cause in Uniparty politics, its about the benjamins, first and formost.
Ronna has her job because Trump won and gave it to her.
PERIOD!
I believe he did give her that job, but that was when he was new to how dirty politics really were and he was listening to Rinos and JAVANKA, i hope he has learned and also that JAVANKA is not allowed anywhere near the White House when he takes office or that Guilfoyle, sleep her way to the top, ?? She dresses like what she is.
Guilfoyle is another enigma to me. Considering her background I must wonder if she is not a double agent.
She’s trash. Bad move by Don Jr.
The RNC gave her the job, at the request of Trump. At the time she was chair of Michigan Republican Party (and hence, member of RNC).
I don’t think he’s learned a dammed thing in the past 4+ years.
And always…
Do not be misled by the permanent look of utter stupidity on Rona’s face.
She is just as much a Jackyl as her uncle.
Amen!
She needs a salad occasionally too….
Beasts are stupid yet cunning
We despise THEM EVERMORE!
Poster womanchild for nepotism and probably inbreeding
So easily we fall back into the habit of being ruled over by retarded aristocrats and their idiot progeny
As is the case with all MSM this piece is poorly researched …. This article fails to mention the number of letters the RNC has received that say something like “Until you fix 2020, not another penny”
Or returned after someone apperently ran out of toilet paper.
Now why didnt I think of that…..
They haven’t even sent me one. I might have been too hostile the last time they did.
I usually take a big black marker over their stupid surveys that dont ask the right questions and write something like “go to hell”
I did the same but still kept getting them so now I just toss them.
I attach a bunch of pennies and send it back, making them pay extra return postage. Just like that they stopped!
I don’t even get them anymore.
resist and all, I have been returning these surveys if they are postage paid and donating $50-$100 in MONOPOLY
money with a note, “I support you like you supported President Trump!!!”
oh, that’s very good!
Ohhh, I absolutely that!
I remember getting a phone call a few months ago from the RNC. I listened patiently and finally said – I no longer donate to the RNC. When asked why, I told the caller – because of Ronna McDaniel. The caller sounded a bit deflated so I told her – have a nice day. I am no longer getting letters from them either.
Only the lockbox processors see them. If there is no check or credit card info, the replies are tossed. And they never look at the surveys either, even if a donation is included.
I don’t think the RNC wants to admit to that. I notice after my colorful language to them they have stopped sending me mail.
Yes, for me that is sadly what it took since unsubscribe is ignored I went off on them no more mail or requests good, they aren’t getting a penny.
Same happened to me.
Great yes?
My colorful language stopped the texts too!
I have done it repeatedly during RNC phone solicitations. The message must be getting back to corporate. What I like is the validation now that our collective withholding of donations is actually making a noticeable difference.
We need to keep it up and get more on board. I see many blogs where people say I just sent Xamount of dollars to the RNC, even after numerous blogs are posted NOT TO SEND TO THEM. There are still many idiots out there so we have to keep reminding them.
Remember not to donate to their NGO’s either.
Save the whales!
Save the starving animals!
Save the snow leopards!
They’re all scams. I never “round up” purchases at the cash register, either.
Remember that charity begins at HOME. I much prefer to give of my money and my talents where it really counts.. in my own community.
I don’t think they will call me again. I told the caller what I thought of RNC and only support Trump…he finally got rid of me. I unsubscribed to everything and still get some stuff but not as much. I never respond to those surveys; they are just ways to get you to send money…they don’t care what we think.
Exactly! I’ve sent all solicitations back with almost those exact words. Funnily, I get very little mail now!
And they have proven that they WON’T fix 2020. Name me one battleground state that has done so. I live in Arizona, and despite undeniable evidence of election fraud in Maricopa and Pima counties, nothing has been done. The fix is in across the country, and you can lay plenty of the blame on the RNC.
It occurs to me that although Republican MAGA Trump supporters can voice dissatisfaction with Ronna Romney McDaniel, the RNC won’t do anything about it . . .
but if she can be “held responsible” for money drying up, they will change her out in a New York second . . . the thing is, they are revealing ever more so that they are actually depending on money from elsewhere and the entire idea of asking for money from supporters is just a cover. They are not really hurting.
The RNC never sees those replies. All the returns go to a lockbox. If there is no check or credit card info, it is tossed.
Nothing changes until the GOP get rid of them all. The sooner the better.
If you had a home that was infested with termites, at some point you have to consider tearing it down and starting over. As I cast an ever growing cynical look at every member of the GOP, I can only point to a literal handful of individuals that pass the smell test.
The problem is, the two termite-infested house owners came up with all sorts of magical rules that sabotage any effort to build more houses. You can build a very nice shack, that’s about it. And then it will mysteriously burn down the moment it starts getting attention.
Not saying that a new house isn’t the solution, just that the Problems realized it was the solution a long time ago and acted accordingly in their best interests.
So, what have you been doing to get MAGA Trunp supporters elected to the RNC?
Let me see they want to destroy us.
Destroy farms.
Destroy our Children and pervert them.
Destroy God ha ha bad luck with that.
Ship our jobs to our enemies like the ccp.
In prison us on made up charges but release, murderers, pimps, anybody that hates this country.
and you’re wondering why there’s no money for you.
here’s your answer FU you gope.
Starve the Gope! NO GOPE!
I thought President Trump had a perfect opportunity to start a new party. I guess it is not that easy but someone has to do it. I know we all remember Perot and thought he was crazy when he said they were attacking his family, his daughter’s wedding etc., but he was telling the truth and we abandoned him. Now we know and it may take us a few years, but when President Trump returns to his rightful place in the White House a plan can be activated.
I often think back with regret how some conservatives and many republicans treated Perot. He was MAGA before MAGA was cool.
Correct.
Sadly it seems it takes a string of tragic martyrs to slowly awaken people from a manufactured stupor that has been a century or more in execution.
I do not regret my vote for Perot one bit. And this year I will not regret not voting for back-stabbers, regardless of the consequences.
I respectfully disagree. The restoration of the GOP to its first principles – Constitutional and cultural – would establish the template and mojo for national leadership, to these same ends.
Easy to say, very hard to do; but it still looks more achievable than to build an entirely new national party from the ground up, which will also be viciously opposed, subverted and sabotaged by these same GOPe turds, in detail. It’s what they do best.
Yes, I received a survey from Ronna and Company a month or two ago — asking for input and, of course, “support.” I circled the line where they asked for “support” and left a note in bright red, “I will start supporting you when you start supporting US! Stop destroying the country!!!”
They don’t like to be reminded that it’s a two-way street. They are Gods on high on their UniParty thrones. They have no time for the little people except to let us know we should be honored to give them our cash that they throw away in Ukraine to line their pockets.
I regularly donate to this magnificent Treehouse.
For Sundance tells us the truth.
Fu*k the GOPe.
Tell them they can get a second job in the new service economy they created.
Ronna needs to tell us what happened to the quarter billion dollars she raised to #stopthesteal.
Check the leadership off shore accounts.
GOP leadership isn’t worried about inflation or a recession.
Election Rules…
#1) NEVER give money to a “republican”
#2) NEVER vote for a democrat
#3) ALWAYS vote against the incumbents in the primary
#4) ALWAYs vote for the most conservative option on the ballot in the general election
Conservative is meaningless.
Always for for the most America First option on the ballot!!!!!!
I’ve always thought that it was more than slightly myopic to believe (especially given the lack of free elections in this country since the 1940’s) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman
that a billionaire (Donald Trump) would have the interest of the common man in his heart. Certainly times were better under trump. But the ebb and flow of the 4-8 year cycle of presidency shows over the last 24 years or longer that the current state of things has been planned and carefully orchestrated. Certainly not to be toppled (without violence) by the unwashed masses.
Not lifting a finger in aid of Trump while raising millions off pretending to his supporters that they were helping to pay for investigations into the Big Steal and the subsequent legal battles was the last straw. Where did all that money go?
Blaming President Trump for what the RNC did?
Its impossible to know why.
A knowing duper preying on emotionally vulnerable low infos or one of the dupers victims?
Either way these words inspire pity and heartfelt prayers.
Please consider READING the article Sundance linked which explains how the RNC uses President Trumps name and image to get $$$$ from unwary Trump supporters. And learn about one of many actions President Trump has taken to thwart the RNC schemers from taking advantage of good hearted Americans.
May God bless you, President Trump and all good hearted people.
I think that you misunderstand Mary’s comment. She certainly wasn’t blaming PDJT for what the RNC did and does. She, rightfully, accuses them of begging for money to “investigate” the Election Steal of 2020 and doing nothing with the money AND disparaging PDJT at the same time.
Perhaps you should re read what Mary said.
Not only the RNC but all those super pacs that use President Trump’s name. I throw them in the garbage also.
The Grand Old Party (GOP) is disappearing as we stare from the aft deck into the night.
There’s nothing grand about them; grift and graft, yes.
“Trump has never had the Republican Party’s best interests at heart,” a frustrated Republican strategist said.
That is their problem. They are more interested in the Party and not the People.
Grassroots just has to consider the leadership if/when GOP takes over the legislature:
McConnell
McCarthy
McDaniel
Grassroots is just holding their nose back at the Elite GOP
Exactly… “the Republican Party’s best interests” … there’s your problem, right there.
Romney’s niece has to GO!!
They’ll just get another one. The GOPe center-of-gravity which needs to be replaced is that Mitch McConnell/SSCI/CoC/K-street coven. Some of them certainly belong in GITMO, alongside their Dhimmicrat colleagues.
Doom On Them
When I saw what the National GOP did against ensuring the 2020 election was properly investigated, I cancelled my recurring donation and every telemarketer that calls on behalf of Rona McDaniel I tell them I won’t contribute to anything they support and hang up on them.
I am even hesitant to donate to President Trump’s Win Red just because I don’t trust any establishment organization any more! Not one dime!
Give directly to the people you support. That is what I have done. I watch newcomers regardless of what state they are in and send my money directly to them. They never get funding from the RNC and need our help.
Republicans complaining about more Republicans… Oh the irony of that talking point.
Not an actual conservative to be found on either side of that false argument.
The Republicans in office don’t even know what they are supposed to be doing there,
the French Aristocrats never saw it coming.
Great point, Susan!
I refer to these spoiled, clueless smugs as neo antoinettes.
Neither did King George III.
“If the former president were sharing the wealth”
Seriously.
F#@$ the Republican’ts. I am sick of being labeled with the Country Club traitors. The RNC loves neither Jesus or Freedom or Americans. We are mostly working class people being led around by fancy A-holes who hate us worse than the Commies.
The 2020 election opened our eyes to the Republican Rino party. They were a party to this election FRUAD. Our power is our money and our vote. We refuse to vote for someone like Cheney or support those who support her.
Well, the leaders of the “opposition party” didn’t stand up to defend us against – Mandatory “vaccines”, riots, the civil constitutional rights of the J6 political prisoners, a stolen election, or a president with dementia. So they can take a flying leap. “Let’s go Republicans leadership”.
I laughed when Moffat quoted some of the responses from the survey. I could not post here the language I overwrote on the survey for using Pres. Trump’s name for monetary gains while turning the knife in his back. I don’t want them to merely go away, I want them to crash and burn.
I think they are making up those responses from potential donors. Why no mention of things many of us have written on donation requests and mailed back to them, like, you allowed the election to be stolen so go F yourself, I’m only donating to Trump.
I’ve called for McDaniel’s firing for years. She was a traitor to Trump. She took credit for the MI vote in 2016 when it was reported she just sat around and let another do all the work. She is like her uncle. I have turned down every call I get from the RNC. I will not fund that org when they are openly hostile to their voters. How dare they! Now it looks like I was not the only one who feels that way. The GOP need an enema at the highest levels. McConnell needs to go and take his CCP wife with him. We all see what is going on with Cheney, Kinzinger, Roy and the rest of the anti-Trump crowd. They have beclowned themselves with their mental instability. So here is one who will not support them or their actions.
Once again the E Repubs miss the mark. I haven’t donated directly to a Republican Party apparatus in 15 years. I donate only directly to candidates who I choose. Recently my “Republican” representative voted to send 40 Billion to Ukraine. No money for him and no vote for him because he works for Mitch McConnell and not for me. They blame Trump because otherwise they would have to take responsibility for our abject disgust with them for pretending to represent us while they actually only care about themselves and their aggregation of wealth and power. I will not forget that in the first two years of Trump’s presidency they did nothing to solve national problems but only thwarted him at every turn. Why? Because the last thing they really want is to solve national problems and create a smaller government. Nope, that would sorely affect fundraising opportunities and their grift money laundering schemes.
They can’t stand Trump, they robbed him of his second term, yet they feel they have a right to the money he has collected. People like that make my skin crawl.
Ha! I refused to send money to the RNC, choosing to only donate directly to candidates.
This actually started before the teaparty, albeit on a smaller scale, with Ron Paul’s run in 2008.
His supporters organized and raised money for him with two ‘moneybombs’ on, I believe, the anniversary of the Boston Teaparty (this was the actual birth of the ‘teaparty’, btw, which was then co-opted by the RNC) and Guy Fawkes Day in 2007. He raised 4 and 6 million in 24 hrs on those days…it was a shot across the bow to the establishment, as both parties were trying VERY HARD to ignore Dr Paul.
As a hilarious aside, I remember when Dr Paul came in, I believe 3rd in NH primary, I think (2008 or 2012, i cant remember)?? CNN actually listed the top 3, listing names, pictures, and votes, with 3rd being literally ‘Some other guy’ (or something like that), with an blank avatar for the pic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyway…
The RNC and mainstream Republicans basically were telling the Paul supporters to F off…we don’t need you, while at the same time imploring Dr Paul to share his fundraising strategies…which he had nothing to do with.
It should be noted that in 2012, at the very end of the Presidential campaign, after insulting the Paul supporters, and telling them, again, to F off…we don’t need you…articles started showing up, imploring the Paul supporters to not act like children, suck it up, and vote for Romney…for the good of the country…
Romney lost, I believe, 5 battleground states by fewer votes than Dr Paul received in the primaries in those states…
I’m not sayin…just sayin…
I stand with the little people.
Well, the RNC can tap all of the millions upon millions raised by claiming that it’d go toward contesting the fraudulent election of 2020. They did nothing, so the cash is all there. Somewhere.
I have an monthly auto-contribution set up to donate to Trump’s Save America (and I hope some of that does go to support MAGA candidates). I donate to MAGA candidates’ individual campaigns (that means virtually all to candidates in states other than where I live).
Not one dime to the RNC, the NRSC or any other establishment organization.
see what happens when we control where and how our money is spent?
It still amazes me that people still send their hard earned money to this crooked organization. What the hell is wrong with you? Send your money directly to the conservative candidate of your choice, no matter what state they are in, we need to fund newcomers directly as this dirty RONA NEVER GIVES THEM MONEY and if she does she waits until it is too late for them to buy air time, ads etc. She is a deep, deep implant into our party and she needs to go, but seems they just go from bad to worse, they haven’t had a good head of that organization in decades.
My donations go to local politicians whom I know are truly America First politicians. I will never donate to the GOP as long as the life long swamp rats remain in office.
Bush, McCain, Romney, Ryan. They only have themselves to blame. I can’t donate to them, and have left their little party.
Had dinner recently with an establishment Republican. He’s a high-IQ guy, but those points were all focused on reading the political tea leaves, not on policy realism nor effectiveness. His level of cluelessness was amazing!
I’ll contribute when the “R” party starts fighting back. EVERYDAY the “R’s” should be PUNISHING the J6 committee for their COVERUP, false narratives and LIES, the BORDER, CRT, ELECTION FRAUD, etc. It can’t be just TRUMP!
Thank you DJT for hoarding the cash – if donors wanted the $$ to go the Republican Club they would have donated to the RINO republicons. America First and MAGA.
I have NO DOUBT that the DNC doles out Ukraine washed taxpayer money to the RINO Republicans to give them an air of credibility. Democrat politicians know they can’t take 100% control (much like the Harlem Globetrotters) – it us wouldn’t play with the people.
So, I think that’s why you don’t really hear true complaints from the RNC. They are getting theirs, I’m sure of it.
The end of the Roman Republic came about as their [d]elite came to hate the population. Pompeii and Caesar understood this. Here were are, 2,150 years later with the same setup. I keep getting invitations to donate to the GOP, but I will not do that. I give directly to GOP candidates who earnestly intend to work for the common good. Heck, I would even hold my nose and donate to a Dem who had these characteristics. The purpose of the popular vote is a as a safety check to prevent an [d]elite from wandering too far away from the interests of the people they purport to represent. This was done in Ancient Rome for the same reason the Framers built it into our own Constitition: political stability, endurance.
The GOP has abandoned the greatest political home court advantage ever, an engaged and aligned American People. The honest consensus is that the [d]elite have strayed too far. Beholden to control files, backdoor deals, and Mr. Global, what advantage do the American People get back by coöperating with people who have agreed to let their advantages be squandered, their money degraded, the wealth pilfered, while the lies pour out full throated from a fake media?
The political establishment indeed hates the population! You hit the nail on the head with that particular observation, and it took CK a while to realize this.
Hey Keln – you’re famous!!!!!
‘Les Deplorables’ has been my screen saver ever since Keln’s drawing was posted six years ago here at CTH. Remember when President Trump strode onstage for a rally with Les Deplorables as a backdrop?
Those were the days.. 🇺🇸
I held my nose and registered republican after Reagan was elected then changed to independent during W’s second term…..I will never join another political party just like I don’t join mob demonstrations….they never represent who you really are
lol @ ronna mcdaniel-newman
ddod you mean like in “Seinfeld” when Jerry says, “Neeeewwwman”?
Awww … poor widdle impoverished RINOs. How dare ANYone capture THEIR cash? Now what will they do: Appoint Liz Cheney to be the living symbol of GOP honesty and patriotism, going in to 2022 and 2024?
Maybe Corona McDaniel oughta cut to the chase and buy out Stacey Abrams’ contract.
If the reasons surveyees are giving about gas and vacations were accurately portrayed, I’m betting they’re not entirely the truth.
I don’t do surveys, but if I did, my answer would be I don’t fund the uniparty, or traitors.
So many texts and emails directed at those on the RNC mailing list with the word “Trump!” in bold letters makes one wonder how they can look themselves in the mirror at the end of the day. There is no room under this big tent for duplicitous candidates, incumbents or paid RNC staff who continue to do the bidding of special interests…and not the US taxpaying citizen. It has been time for a long while to rid ourselves of this pox on our house. Action in November 2022 is the first step!
The GOP drove a lot of well-meaning millenials to the left back in the day which directly caused the current catastrophe, these people are either totally brainwashed or blackpilled now. Things will never get better until decent people have actual representation which necessitates the creation of a third party (snowball’s chance in hell) or the exorcism of an existing party. Trump did not really try to reform the GOP, he actually handed them more power (after thoroughly humiliating them) naively believing that he could strike a deal. Maybe that was his only path, I don’t know. But I thank him for exposing everyone and everything so at least the observant folk who don’t buy into the Red vs Blue sports false dichotomy of politics could feel validated and many others woken up. It’s still far too few however.
If a true populist ever makes it in again, I hope they can learn from this and realize that there is no good-faith negotiating with these people and even the VP they saddle you with will be a patient knife aimed at your back.
Reince Priebus
I can never see that name without thinking Prince Reebus.
“Hoarding the cash.”
Oh please. The very same people that want to push him off the stage at the slightest moment. I think he’s warranted keeping his coin close to chest.
I ceased contributing to the Republican Party when GWB was President and Cornyn and Bush were hellbent on granting amnesty to the illegal alien invaders they allowed into our country. I carefully observe various candidates and current representatives residing throughout the country. I then contribute to the individual candidates of those I have carefully vetted. I long ago omitted the middleman (aka Republican Party).
When will people realize it’s the MESSAGE, not the MONEY??? Candidate Trump raised much less money in 2016 than the Pantsuit candidate.
I hate the GOPe almost as much as I hate DemocRats.
