The internecine angle to the intra-party political and financial conflicts come via Politico, so apply that prism accordingly. However, the overarching background of the story (as presented) does align with the internal party power conflict we all know about.
According to the outline, Mitch McConnell has withdrawn spending of the Senate PAC funds from MAGA senate candidates. McConnell is telling his senators who are more favorably aligned with President Trump, to push the Trump PAC to spend more on them if Trump wants to see them win in 2022.
President Trump has, and continues to, support all of the MAGA candidates with direct funding [See FEC Filing], campaign rallies [LINK], and major big donor fundraisers [LINK], including at least one example of excessive funds distributed [LINK]. However, whenever anything involves McConnell, particularly when it involves money, it is critical to apply a Machiavellian prism to McConnell’s DeceptiCon motives.
By now everyone should know Senator McConnell holds no fundamental interest in being in the majority. Nothing in his power structure changes if Democrats are in the majority. From McConnell and the club approach, the “control of the senate” argument is a fundraising gimmick. Give the DeceptiCons control of the senate and nothing structurally changes in the policy or legislative sphere. Reference the 2014 to 2020 GOPe control, anti-Trump resistance, budgets and support for Obamacare, as examples of the last time the GOPe had senate majorities.
Absent of any real motivation to gain a republican majority in the senate, illusions and pretenses dropped, the “battle for control of the senate” simply comes down to a strategy of what is best to support Big Corps, and downstream fundraising. However, the fundraising angle does afford Mitch the opportunity to leverage more power and eliminate influence.
By withdrawing financial support and telling MAGA candidates to go get money from Trump, McConnell positions his power in the senate to bleed his opposition of resources, in this example, Donald Trump.
Mitch creates a club narrative that Donald Trump is not supporting the MAGA candidates who gained victories in the primary. He also seeks to bleed Donald Trump of money so that a more ‘acceptable republican’ can challenge him financially later on.
President Trump has around $100 million in his Super PAC. Meanwhile Ron DeSantis has around $200 million in his PAC, and the Republican party of Florida (a completely separate club entity) is doing all the campaign spending so that DeSantis keeps his coffers full for the looming 2024 presidential race.
Team DeSantis isn’t spending much on his Florida governor’s race, other than small campaign expenses, because he doesn’t need to. All those commercials, advertising, marketing and solicitation you see are from alternative groups (like the republican party of Florida), not the DeSantis campaign itself.
With around $200 million in the bank, minimal spending rate and 60 days before the election, why would a state candidate be traveling around the country to collect donations? The simple answer is the collection is not for the current state race. DeSantis is building a 2024 war chest.
Insert McConnell and now you can easily make the argument the corporate club ownership is attempting to bleed one candidate (Trump) in order to quietly build another acceptable replacement (DeSantis). The internal club games on display.
(Politico) – Mitch McConnell is indirectly nudging Donald Trump to help Republicans try to flip the Senate, part of a broader GOP campaign to get the former president to open up his well-stocked coffers for the rest of the party.
[…] The effort to get Trump to unlock his PAC stash is yet another sign of his seismic effect on the Republican Party. He is sucking up a massive portion of GOP donations (including a sizable chunk of the grassroots dollars) in a midterm election year. That, in turn, has given him significant sway while out of office — even after many Senate Republicans, including McConnell, soured on Trump after the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Now they insert the false premise:
[…] The private push to get Trump to financially engage in a number of battleground states comes as the former president sits on roughly $99 million, stored in his PAC. That unused cash is drawing increased attention from GOP leaders as the midterms approach, with Trump’s own endorsed candidates lagging in polls and trailing their Democratic opponents in fundraising.
As previously noted, President Trump continues to support, finance, campaign and fundraise for all the MAGA candidates. However, the Decepticon strategy involves creating a fallacy to assist the agenda.
[…] One Republican senator, granted anonymity to speak candidly about the situation, doubted that Trump would loosen his purse strings even for his own candidates given the long-running tensions between him and Senate Republicans — a sentiment echoed in part by some operatives close to the former president.
“It’s not Trump’s job to elect a Senate majority,” said one Trump world adviser.
But others were more hopeful.
“In at least a couple of those races, there’s a really compelling argument for him to be involved. He’s got a huge wad of cash that could make a difference,” said Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) (read more)
The only thing more frustrating than watching republican DC politics, is watching republican DC politics unfold while the majority of voting republicans do not accept what is taking place. Republican voters are in an abusive relationship with the Republican Club, yet so many just cannot accept it.
Once you realize the goals of the people who control the Republican Club are the exact opposite goals of the voters who continue voting to keep them in office, only then can the battered conservative dynamic be broken. Unfortunately, that level of realization is painful because we start to realize the scale and scope of what the abuser would do in their effort to keep us under their control.
Does Kentucky have a republican governor? (asking for a friend)
Depends on what you mean by “Republican”.
I mean, I’m sure McConnel and Beshear get along really well, regardless of party branding.
Aggravatingly enough, that’s plausible.
No. Beshear is a Democrat.
…yet another stolen election…
No. Andy Beshear is a democrat, as is his father, Steve Beshear, who is also a former governor of Kentucky.
They don’t. Andy Beshear is a Democrat.
Does KY have recipe for turtle soup?

I’ve been aware of the abusive relationship since Goldwater ran in 1964. I just don’t have anywhere else to go so I concentrate on primaries and local offices.
He was before my time but I love Goldwater.
The Goldwater race was the first race I clearly remember, although I have fleeting memories of the 1960 Nixon/Kennedy Race. I grew up walking precincts, working county fair booths and riding back and forth between the various voting places and picking up people who needed a ride to the polls during election GOTV efforts. My parents were extremely active in the GOP so I had a high political IQ from the time I could talk.
I was at the Bakersfield GOP Headquarters when Kennedy was shot. Women were sobbing. Men were huddled in corners, with long faces, talking in whispers. When I hear fools today claiming Republicans were happy JFK was killed I know first hand how wrong they are.
Bakersfield has always been an important whistle stop on the California political circle. The Reagan ‘kitchen cabinet’ was born in Bakersfield. Kevin McCarthy was an aid to House Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas when I did volunteer work at the office. Kevin was also President of our Young Republicans Club in Bakersfield.
I know way too much about the Republican Party, but I also know enough to be certain, that at least in theory, they are immeasurably better than the Democrats. We just need to hold our elected representatives feet to the fire and force them to uphold our founding values.
Me too. I was 9 in 1964, but learn politics at my Dads knee, and he taught me using Goldwater as an example.
He was a Barrys boy, our hall closet was full of yard signs and bumper stickers.
Politically, PDJT’s grandfather and Reagans father.
“Extreamism, in the Defence of liberty, is NO vice!”
Voted for Barry!!!
About the same age. Politics was “the” topic for conversation growing up in our house. One of my brothers brought up the Mets once at dinner. He found himself hurdling off the back stoop into a snow bank.
Goldwater vs Rockefeller was my 1st memories of politics.
There is nowhere else to go except for MAGA. That applies to all levels of government right now.
Yep, primarying bad incumbents and local offices are where I put my energy.
Can’t wait for those coordinated defenders of McConnell to come here offering their defenses of him.
Yup. We’ll have to hear “better a RINO than letting a Democrat win!” for the millionth time.
They’re the same freakin thing, except RINOs are probably even more damaging due to being the enemy within.
Time for this once more.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Taylor Caldwell, A Pillar of Iron
very wise words
Clearly, Washington is full of traitors. I just wish the disgusting news media would stop helping them stab us in the back. I just don’t think it can be fixed until that is fixed and maybe not even then.
Under Obama they withdrew the last pillars of a free press. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 made propaganda the norm. Here is a research paper that gives the details of what happened. Written in 2015, they’ve since changed a few names–they like to play 3-card monte with transparency. Through a series of loopholes and carveouts, the bottom line is that the government can provide the media with all the free propaganda they want, without attribution to warn their audiences who is actually speaking.
Footnote 149 was particularly interesting to me because it says that two qualifiers that make lying to the American people okay are 1) it’s impossible to verify, as in the information is very general (think Orange Man Bad) and 2) they’re only playing with your emotions, not with intellect (think Orange Man Bad).
So take an outfit like Sinclair Broadcasting that tells all of its affiliates that they have to use certain words in their “news” cast, such as recently saying MAGA was a danger to democracy. They get their scripts from the government and them make all their affiliates down to the local news use the same words.
The whole paper is very interesting but could be useful for insomnia, too.
https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1203&context=nulr
Timely quote; loved all her books.
As MAGA becomes more of the majority within the Republican party, it will take more RINO switch hitters to pull off the same uniparty scam exposing more and more of them to be primaried.
Dems ‘always’ vote for bad things though.
Let’s say the House Republicans are 1/3 MAGA, This means that more RINOs need to progressively vote more and more uniparty in order to hand, just barely, victory to the enemies of We the People. Thus exposing more and more RINOs to be primaried.
Let’s say at some point MAGA is 90% of the Republican representatives and we also have a majority (MAGA+RINO) in the House. Do you see how nearly 50% of the RINOs will need to be voting with Dems nearly 50% of the time for the objectives of the uniparty, thus exposing them?
This is why Mitch and his fellow RINO’s will fight tooth and nail, and deliberately lose a senate to democrats before letting Trump supported conservatives win.
It’s also why Obama faced such Patsies as McStain and Mittens
I fear you are right, but I hope you are wrong.
On top of all of this, we have seriously compromised election system.
WE, the MAGA-REPUBLICANS can NEVER achieve a majority in Congress, so that WE can sieze control away from McConnell/McCarthy cabal, so long as WE keep voting into Congress, more who are aligned with, dependant on, and will vote to keep the same traitorous leaders.
An abused spouse can not break the cycle of abuse, so long as they continue to live with their abuser.
Cut the cord. DO NOT give your$, your time/energy, support or VOTES to any “mainstream Republican” for ANY offices.
THEY prefer Dems to MAGA, how can WE do any less?
And, its not just at the US Congress level, its at the County Board level, as well.
PURGE them ALL.
Well the reverse logic there is “Better a Democrat win than a RINO”.
Is that what you’re proposing?
And no, RINOs aren’t “more damaging” than Democrats. If there’s anything a typical RINO is good at, it’s doing nothing.
Bottom line is, people need to take primaries more seriously. But when they don’t and you’re left with bad choice A and worse choice B, what do you do? Vote 3rd party so you can claim the moral high ground?
We like to say “facts don’t care about your feelings”.
Well…they don’t.
For me, it began in 2012, when for the first time since I started voting at 18, i just could not vote for Romney, and so left the ballot choice for PotusVpotus blank.
Only voted in 2004, because if Sarah.
The last two years if Dem “rule”have absolutely trashed the Dem party “brand”, but they have also exposed and therefore trashed the traitorous Fake Republican brand.
Hence, since McConnell doesn’t want to have an R majority in the Senate, hence is willing to throw it to the Dems, why should I compromise my integrity, and besmirtch my sacred duty of voting, to vote for a traitor that will continue the kabuki theater and keep McConnell in leadership.
“I can’t leave my abusive spouse, WHAT would I DO?
They have all the money, I have NOTHING!”
I find the abusive spouse analogy to be a false equivalency. It’s cute. Easy little comparison. But it’s completely nonsensical in this context.
We know the problem. Either fight the problem, or you’re stuck with bad options. Primaries are the actual battlefield.
You can’t “primary” your spouse. And if you don’t think they work, look around. It’s been happening since 2016. It’s just a slow process to get these snakes out of our yard.
McConnell should not take a salary for 4 years before telling President Trump what to do. They seem to have forgotten Trump donated his salary while in office.
Hmmm…never seen anyone defend Mitch on these boards?
I have on certain issues. His defense against removing Trump on the first “impeachment” was good, or so I thought at the time, and I posted accordingly.
If someone does good, I point it out.
If someone does bad…….I point it out.
Oh yeah, they’re around. They like to defend him on the basis of judicial confirmations that he either blocked or let get through. There is definitely an organized defend-Mitch group. They have not shown their collective face on this thread yet though.
Yeah, where the hell are Borasso, Cornyn and Thune?
With Mitch.
FMM
I will never forget MM urging President Trump to stay out of the midterms, telling reporters: “I do think we need to be talking about the future, and not the past.”
Well that’s cute coming from a dinosaur 🦖
So sick and tired of DeSantis and his defenders.
It’s so obvious what him and the anti-MAGA RINOs are up to.
Trump helped DeSantis, practically dragged him across the finish line in Florida, and this is the gratitude DeSantis shows?
So true. DeSantis’s campaign was completely inept and floundering until President Trumps team got Ron’s team squared away.
I recall it was infuriating just how terrible the DeSantis campaign was. We Floridians surely would have had Gillum (sp?) if he hadn’t gotten his act together.
The Uniparty-RINOS run the same plays over and over and over. Romney asked for Trump support, got it, and Pierre Delicto Brutus Romney was born. Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lin🐍🐍🐍🐍ey Graham, et al, got Trump support and they too have the Brutus name attached to them now. It’s always been a con, they NEVER had any intentions of working with Trump. We all see it now. They (The Cabal) all see us seeing it now. This is their last stand. Sorry, Cabal, game over for you.
Could we please just get thru 2022 and re elect Governor Desantis. If he does run after he has just won his election I will be the first to curse him. We do not want Crist as our Governor!
Only way DeSantis might be president in 2024 is if PDJT declines to run.
Not with my vote.
MAGA OR DIE!
Frankly, silly hypothetical.
Why is it you DeSantis basement dwellers come out in full force all at the same time ?
Where is any politician in this country doing what DeSantis has done ?
You a Charlie Crist bud ?
You are assigning troll status to almost all of CTH and its host on the basis of such a thin reed?
Nice try.
Ah….by your logic, you’re a Biden bud. Because that’s who DeSantis is helping at this point. It couldn’t be any more obvious.
Lemme tell you that living through the Charlie “Oxycodone Tsunami” Crist years of ’08-’12 trying to make a living in Orange County were the absolute worst of my life. DeSantis has been lionized for doing commonsense moves that should be SOP for every Governor in the Country. It’s only special because no one else is doing it. He has ignored the living daylights out of established residents favoring Corporate interests since day one. We are sick of being taken advantage of.
That’s what Snakes Do!!!
So looking back at past RINO presidents, they ‘tend’ to deliver on ‘social’ issues, but when it comes to Wall Street vs Main Street they always pick their Wall Street PAC funders.
I just wish that one time they would take this fraudulently aquired funding to get elected and go full MAGA upon election. Like any real patriot without the resources of PDJT should do.
PDJT is still the gold standard for a leader that didn’t need to kiss Wall Streets’ ring because he wasn’t funded by them.
I can’t wait to see Ron DeSantis’ first big 2024 Presidential rally.
I can’t wait to see all 100 people that show up for it, too.
PDJT has a 50 point lead in early straw polling for 24.
Might be underwhelming, Especially since he would be cutting out, in the middle of his governorship.
The same gratitude they all showed after riding his coattails in 2020. I just remember how outrageous the aftermath was. The very few who seemed to stand up pretty much sat right down after 1.6
these united States is what it was originally
now they are the untied States
SAD
The past is never dead. It’s not even past ..”
William Faulkner
Ironic in that they wouldn’t do a thing to help him as President (and the USA) and now feel at will telling PDJT what he should do with the PAC money.
Spit!
Thanks Kentucky voters for all these years of keeping McConnell in office.
Unfortunately, he’s never had solid competition in a primary, and is always better than the democrats who run.
How I wish there was a SOLID CONSERVATIVE who could beat him in a primary.
He is the uncrowned King of Corruption, as dirty as any Dem, what a multi-volume tome would be an expose of his exploits as China’s assassin.
You attack the enemy where its WEAKEST, and where the massive advantage in #’s can be applied to greatest effect.
Wrest control of the State Republican party of Kentucky, AWAY from the McConnell machine, and THEN with MAGA control, you can get “CONSERVATIVE” (I prefer MAGA, frankly!) primary candidates.
Otherwise, WHY would anyone “step up” to an inherently rigged primary they are guaranteed to lose.
Query, have YOU attended your local R party montly meetings?
Volonteered as Precinct Captain?
You’re right, it’s the only way. We can’t outspend em, going to have to outwork them. We’re not activists naturally, we tend to stay away from government, but jump in we must.
There has been, but he couldn’t win because Kentucky has an open primary. Democrats cross over, with McConnell’s blessing, and vote for him in the primary.
Same issues in South Carolina, we allow the dems to choose our candidates, then insist a rimo is better than a dem. Even though the dems choose our rino. Weird thing that.
“Unfortunately, he’s never had solid competition in a primary …”
Sure, because any solid competition who might emerge is, or would be, told, “Nice family you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to them.”
Well, since McConnell & Co. control the purse strings then Mc & Co. control who the party supports. No money from them means no threat to Mitch. Solid Conservative will be squished.
Because the GOP, with McConnell at the helm, would never allow a true conservative in the campaign.
Was it the voters or the voting machines and those who run the elections in Kentucky that have kept the turtle in office?
Voters.
Nobody of any consequence ever challenges him in a primary.
Ever.
And he’s always better than the democrat.
Ironically, Trump helped him last election. Not that THAT effort will get rewarded.
Same reason Missouri has had Roy Blunt for so long. Thankfully he’s retiring now finally, most likely because at this point Missouri voters are on to the RINO’s game and he’s a Head RINO if there ever was one.
I don’t think we know that given what we have found about the election system.
And right here is why none of you should! Please take the time to read it.

I’m still ashamed I ever voted for that guy when I lived in Kentucky. Back then I didn’t know enough.
That guy is a snake and a half.

McTurtle just wants more Ryan, Kinzinger, McCarthy, Roosterhead, Cheney RINOs.
Yep.
We must have been typing nearly the same thing at the same time.
OTOH doesn’t this eliminate any influence McConnell could have over them when they win?
Not sure about that, but it would greatly clarify the nature of their relationship.
Influence has little to do with it. The Old-age Mutant RINO Turtle isn’t going to be able to sway MAGA guys much either way. He’s just trying to deplete MAGA funds as much as he can. Because he thinks elections are all about money.
I swear, Trump proved in 2016 that you don’t have to buy an election. But guys like McConnel really don’t know how the world works. He’d have to leave his turtle hole to find that out.
You have no words for MAGA Republicans being equated to domestic terrorists, nor FBI Mar-a-Lago raid, F off, Mitch.
Where TF is all the money raised after 2020 “To Fight For Election Integrity”, that we all donated?? What has the ‘Stablishment Club done to secure our elections? They’ve “secured” them alright by funding Demonrats and Kenzinger/Cheney type candidates. This is a Ponzi scheme. I will call them the RICO National Committee from here on in. RepubliCon Ron really p!sses me off to no end.
This tweet at Last Refuge sums it up in answer to Ann Coulter –
Coulter plays stupid very well.
No way she didn’t know PDJT was already working hard for MAGA candidates to include funding.
She’s just disingenuously advancing Baizou Mitch’s cover lie for his traitorous machinations.
I guess Ann Coulter doesn’t spend the time looking for facts anymore. Thank God I don’t see her and her huge Adams Apple anymore.
AC looks like Rick Scott with a wig!
Ann Coulter is a self-promoting attention whore who is not one bit on our side. That ship sailed a long time ago. Don’t forget her romantic ties to Bill Maher, too.
was just coming to post a link to this same tweet. President Trump has been stepping up, in many ways such as just the other day we find out in an interview that PDJT has stepped up in both financial and through lawyer connection ways for some of the J6 defendants.
Question – is this PAC that McConnell wants PDJT to drain the same one under investigation by the lawfare team? If so, does that mean McConnell/RNC are now openly working in tandem with the DNC? – Masks fully dropped now?
If so, that’s some serious desperation. Makes one think the crowd in last weekends Rally scared both sides that their plans are falling apart.
.
Send money to Donald Trump!
.
ONLY!!!!
Aint we got a Repugnant National Commitee for supporting candidates?
Lookin at you Ronna – just like yer traitor uncle.
The Club’s the thing, says The Club.
It’s bad enough that we have institutions whose preservation supercedes the Republic itself, but a private for profit corporation whose business model is selling our birthright and labors and very lives is as abhorrent as it gets.
It’s pose as defender of all it betrays is a disgusting mockery.
Meanwhile -the Dims are running victory laps with commercials morning , noon and night claiming Biden lower drug prices via Inflation Reduction Act . The GOP RINO’s silence on that and the Inflation Reduction Act is deafening.
I just received a text message from Governor DeSantis asking money for a MAGA candidate Below:
This is Gov. Ron DeSantis.
I don’t send texts like this one often, but I need you to read this entire message.
The future of America is on the line – and what happens today will decide everything.
Joe Biden & Chuck Schumer just dropped a whopping $60+ MILLION bucks to destroy my friend & GOP candidate, Adam Laxalt, in the MOST important Senate race on the map.
If the Democrats beat us in this must-win race in Nevada, it’s all over.
That’s why I’m humbly asking for your help by midnight tonight: 22-rep.com/6VQGf7
Adam is a former Naval Officer & Iraq War Veteran, and a God-fearing American like us. He is everything the radical Left fears the most. Adam has my full support, and I hope he will have yours too, Friend.
But he won’t stand a chance if we don’t see a rush of grassroots support. The Democrats have all the connections, power & ritzy mega-fundraisers.
Believe me when I say, this is the single most important thing you can do to help save America.
We’re out of time. There’s no time to think about this. Please stand with us. I’m personally asking: 22-rep.com/6VQGf7 stop=end
anymore questions?
I’m sorry I don’t know Adam….
self deleted, started to comment under the wrong comment thread. my bad.
I got the same text message. I always ignore these things.
It doesn’t cost DeSantis anything to send a text. If he’s really MAGA, he’d put his own money where his mouth is.
Yes, where does the money actually go?
The RNC retains the right to use Trump’s name & image to benefit themselves. Probably the same with RDS.
Dear DeSantis,
Ask your Koch pal for a cup of change. You all have more $$$ than I.
I just received a personalized donation e-mail from DeSantis today, completely unsolicited.
It rambled on for a dozen paragraphs. All social issues. Not a word about the economy or economic policy other than pointing out “record-high inflation”. Thank you, Governor Obvious.
When you vote for TPP, I know where you stand.
I removed myself from his list and moved the mail to the trash folder.
Same thing last time around. You’re lucky if more of the same donation emails don’t arrive from another RNC solicitor under WINRED.
Perhaps everyone who is getting these letters from Ron DeSantis can write back and recommend he send some of that $200million he has in his campaign war chest to his good buddy Laxalt and problem solved!
Same old rip-off masquerade WINRED solicitations with every one on the money-grubber wagon. Nothing but spam with names as seen in the last election’s solicitations with names like Mike Pence, Nikki Hailey, a whole slew who by now have revealed their true RINO not-for-Trump colors. Unfortunately a lot of people then trusted these RINOs.
McConnell is the tip of the spear ,that is the globalist traitors, lunging at the Herat is the United States of America.
Nothing but a sneaky gutless spineless coward who is in on the steal as well as the coup.
Compromised traitor that’s all.
Does anyone really think this turkey neck wussy would of interest of a wealthy educated attractive Chinese woman .
She is a honey pot and he is the mark they use to help the chicoms take everything they can from us.
Got to give it to his honey pot wife. Servicing this smarmy creep all these years is one hell of a sacrifice she is making for the communist country she is loyal to.
Anyone know where a MAGA supporter can contribute where Trump has total control of the resources?
Great America PAC, Save America leadership PAC, America First Action Inc, America First Policies etc. Do a search for names of Trump PACs.
Not sure if this helps. Supposedly a reliable site :
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2022/09/trumps-political-operation-raised-over-500-million-after-2020-election-despite-increased-scrutiny/
Reporter: “Do you think it’s appropriate the way that the former president was storing those top secret and classified documents at his private estate at Mar-a-Lago?”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: “Yeah, I don’t really have any comments on this. This whole investigation has been dominating the news for the last month. I think we’re following it. Like all of you are”
But for the split-away at the end, I could have sworn that was one Senator McBarScothunernst. 😂
Ever notice they almost ALWAYS stand in the same spot. Sort of creepy…no, it really is creepy!
And look at the dour dork standing behind his right shoulder. After bidens 2nd hitler speech, I told his local lackey that if it wasnt for those who voted for Trump in WY, barrASSo would have never gotten elected.
Absent of any real motivation to gain a republican majority in the senate
Not only no motivation to take the senate but active efforts to prevent it. !
To snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. mcconnell has been telegraphing his miserable desires for some time.

Email from Nikki Hailey saying the Georgia senate race of Hershel Walker’s is a concern for her and needs donations.
I look at the bottom of the email and it says team Scalise……… WTF
So…… it’s from Nikki Hailey……… did you expect something different?
She was one of the names raising funds for the 2020 election via WINRED – a total scam and spam machine

I wonder how much money the decepticons lost on Liz Cheney?
Who?
think I saw the Turtle put $8M into that race for the olf battle axe…..the majority was coming from CA NY and TX
Many starving children would have been fed.
Not Enough money lost, just saying
Would say Uniparty member and 0bama supporter McConnell has no shame, but that was proven long ago.
If McConnell keeps this up, I would not be surprised to see Trump threaten to run as an Independent in 2024 since it’s obvious McConnell and GOPe are planning to subvert Trump’s chances for the nomination by changing the primary rules to suit their wishes and to prevent Trump from getting a majority of delegates.
There is no way a GOPe candidate is going to win the presidency in that environment, and the Democrat would be elected president. So does the McConnell and GOPe wing want to continue being known as the stupid party?
I think Mitch is just fine having any democrat as president over Trump.
Pulling money from Trump endorsed candidates clearly says he’s just fine with any democrat senator over any Trump supported candidate.
“I think Mitch is just fine having any democrat as president over Trump.”
He’s also just fine with (R)s being in the Senate minority, too, as Sundance has stated.
…split the vote…reduces electoral manipulation events…less chance of manipulation evidence escaping into the wild….
They’re quite ok with the scenario you just laid out. Gotta remember they’re not real Republicans

Interesting setup, a three-way race for the soul of our nation. I don’t know what the cut-off windows are for registering as a Presidential candidate by State?
So for example could the RINOs prevent PDJT from being the Republican candidate for President leaving him no time to register as an independent in enough States that he could win an order to win a majority of electoral votes?
But Electors are elected along party lines if I recall correctly. There are no independent electors.
President Trump Won!!!
President Trump 2024!!
That’s All Folks!!
McConnell, Schumer, Pelosi, and McCarthy are sellouts who pose a mortal threat to the US.
…all on the same team…and it ain’t ours..
So it’s time to give Trump the 💰💵 to fund them then. Clearly ChiCom Mitch doesn’t think we can or will.
Small donations, millions of donors. Let’s roll! Over ChiCom Mitch & his mini-me John Thune.
Make them take an oath not to support McConnell
Turtle playing his role…make CCP Great….it ain’t about money after a certain point…
So this is what I don’t understand in all of this, how can you put a price on a man’s soul?
There is never U-Haul behind the Hearse.
For example, all that designer ice cream will never be eaten by Nancy.
All those electronic ones and zeros Mitch has in the Cayman islands will never provide even one second of comfort to him and will only corrupt what family he has left upon his natural death.
Rather this fraudulently obtained ‘wealth’ will be converted into a millstone around his neck in Hell.
True, but achieving a natural death might be a motivator considering who he’s in bed with.
I remember a certain candidate not having as much money as another candidate in 2016…
I forget who that was but boy did he put a whoopin on her!
Two thoughts.
One, DeSantis has been a much better governor than even I would have imagined when he edged out a victory in 2018 by the narrowest of margins. Not disputing or disagreeing with Sundance’s usual spot on analysis. Just postulating that DeSantis can use the Decepticons own desire to rid themselves of Trump to his own advantage.
Two, Trump needs to address the most pressing priority first. If it means spending $99 million now to get Walker, Laxalt, Masters, and Oz across the finish line so be it. That’s 4 would be Senators with zero allegiance to Mitch…until 2028. Sitting on war chest for 2024 won’t mean as much if Trump’s brand is damaged with high profile losses in the general.
We’ve been conditioned to vote GOPe as the lesser of two evils for decades. Now I would encourage voters to cast ballots for the GOP in spite of the leadership. Yes it will temporarily put McConnel (and McCarthy) into leader positions. We can address them in 2024 when 45 returns as 47.
Insanity is having the same behavior and expecting a different outcome.
NO THANKS
I hope you are right, take the traitor’s money and then go full MAGA upon election. Life is short, and God is watching. Why any true ‘underfunded’ patriot would do anything else is beyond my understanding.
If DeSantis put us on one day only voting, hand counted, watermarked paper ballots he would have more in and out -of-State small dollar donations than he would know what to do with. He jumped into questionable pockets at the first opportunity.
Based on latest FEC filing from I think end of July.
“More than 100 members of Congress House & Senate candidates got money from Donald Trump’s “Save America” PAC in June, FEC docs show — including Ron Johnson, Jim Jordan, Mike Kelly, Sarah Palin, J.D. Vance, Blake Masters & Greg Pence”
The good news is, based on primaries, specifically in Az and Penn Govs races, we and PDJT have at least a 10:1 advantage.
So, $1 invested in a MAGA Candidate, counters $10 spent on a Uniparty candidate.
$ that PDJT donates to MAGA Candidates is giving him more “bang for his buck”; greater VALUE.
Same is true for us, this is why donating to individual campaigns, NOT WINRED is the way to go.
What is the website to donate directly to President Trump PAC?
Dutchman you are shap as a tack so please ‘splain this to me. WTH does VSGDJT continue to use winred?
NOT WINRED. I learnt that from the 2020 election campaign .. They are imposters!
….”the scale and scope of what the abuser would do”….ends at nothing short of death
Mitch and Bill Barr can go to hell
Oh, they’re going! Count on it!!
And they wonder why I don’t give to the senate and congressional campaign coffers…
Holy Moley……………..Steve Bannon just reported that the FBI raided 35 key Trump supporters yesterday…………..
Where is McConnell condemning this; and the other GOPe traitors?
More money for them?
I think not.
When P Trump declares he is running, I will open my checkbook back up and give to his MAGA campaign.

…it would be interesting to hear what Richard Nixon would have to say about current events….I lean toward unexpected consequences….Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski have so totally boned this Republic…anyone stating “our democracy” is an enemy of The Republic…by intent or by ignorance they know not what they speak
Not just the Senate, it’s the House of UnRepresentatives as well.
Kevin McCarthy, GOP Elites and Super PACs Spend $5 Million to Destroy MAGA Candidate Karoline Leavitt in NH Primary – Leavitt Joins Tucker
It is the same tactics the GOP elites use in every state. They can’t win on the issues so they spend MILLIONS to slander and smear MAGA Republican candidates.

In the last election cycle, I averaged about 75 email solicitations daily. They were all coming from GOPe characters like Crenshaw and Ernst, never mind the RNC itself. This cycle, I’m getting 5 or less a day, with Trump Jr., Walker, Vance, and Rubio the mainstays. Keeping in mind that small donations to the RNC are down, it would be interesting to know how many regulars here have seen comparable shifts in their incoming solicitations. McConnell may be husbanding his resources because MAGA funding is no longer flowing into Republican coffers.
Just another example of RINOs undermining the 2022 election and then pinning the blame on Trump to neutralize him in 2024.
When will Mitch the Bitch learn that while money is nice, political will is king. He has none.
So, if i understand this correctly, the turtle refuses to financially support the Republican candidate for Senate in the general election if that candidate was supported by President Trump in the primary.
It doesn’t matter that the candidate is a Republican, just who supports him/her.
Using Mitch’s logic the person who supports them must pay to get them across the finish line. Not the Republican party who elicits donations to get Republicans elected.
Righhhhhhhht.
It makes me sick. They can’t do what’s in the best interest of the country, they have to stay in the click and play petty games.
And we wonder why Republicans can’t put on a united front like the dems to win elections or pass legislation.
FMM…
…and his wife…
If he and the Senate candidates are smart enough to jump on this opportunity, they have an outstanding rallying cry for not just GOP voters, but also disaffected Democrats:
“A vote for me is a vote to remove Mitch McConnell as majority leader and a vote to install a MAGA Senate Majority leader not named John Thune.”
“A vote for me is a vote to break the back of the Republican swamp in D.C..”
I thought SD told us this stuff last week. And neither DeSantis nor Mitch have small donors, just corporate…and Mitch is only supporting Walker, Oz and Budd for Senate seats. Nicki is running around for Walker and Oz. Mitch is not going to support Masters. Probably Mitch doesn’t have the money anyway. And Masters said he wasn’t going to vote for Mitch for majority leader and that helped put him on the outs. Oz deferred from saying for whom he would vote when cabbage patch Brett on Fox asked him a couple of nights ago.
“When you’re a rat you’re rat all the way from your first cigarette to your last dying day”.
Mitch is a long time sleaze ball, never be surprised with his duplicity, expect it.
MAGA! …again.
And Always!
MAGAAAA!!!!
Didn’t realize this was already posted. We are wayyy over the edge.
… this makes America a de facto police state!
Hey! Mitch, what do you know about this? LOL LOL LOL
Hey, Sean, do you still wear your FIB pin?! Ah know Sean!… we can count on the 99%. Good luck with that Sean!
Chips are down gents!
The line was crossed awhile ago.
For example, FBI spied on Aretha Franklin:
How is a music legend a security risk again?
She was dangerous because she wanted R_E_S_P_E_C_T.
Well, there were those 2 brothers on a mission from G-d she once helped.
Not a word I’ve seen in the press yet.
