Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I agree with you, but Trump will take the RNC down with him.
Stop! I can only get so erect!
It's already happening. Local chapters are going broke because the idiots are sending their money to trump instead of them. I really hope the dems roll out the big guns after the election and follow every single lead until the entirety of the right is locked up or barred from politics. And if they come across some dirty lefties in the process, take them down too.
Local chapters are going broke because deep-pocketed conservative donors don't trust the people elected as officials to be good stewards of their money. So the donors give directly to candidates or to PACs. I am not yet convinced there is less overall money being injected on the Republican side, though that would be a hopeful development.
I didn't say the amount was changing I was simply echoing what I have seen some smaller chapters say about why they are going broke. The average idiot is sending trump money directly and he is using that to pay his legal bills (probably) which means the local politicians have less funds to work with.
I can see certain individuals being blacklisted but the big money knows how the game is played and knows that you have to work from the ground up and groom, train, etc the up and coming ones to keep whatever control you or your family has cultivated over the decades or centuries.
