"Exacerbating the fundraising problems for Republicans is that Trump continues to be the party’s dominant fundraiser and yet virtually none of the tens of millions of dollars he has raised has gone toward defeating Democrats. Instead, the money has funded his political team and retribution agenda against Republicans who have crossed him."
Republicans Confront Unexpected Online Money Slowdown Tue, July 26, 2022
Small-dollar donations typically increase as an election nears. But just the opposite has happened in recent months across a wide range of Republican entities, including every major party committee and former President Donald Trump’s political operation.
The total amount donated online fell more than 12% across all federal Republican campaigns and committees in the second quarter compared with the first quarter, according to an analysis of federal records from WinRed, the main online Republican donation-processing portal.
More alarming for Republicans: Democratic contributions surged at the same time. Total federal donations on ActBlue, the Democratic counterpart, jumped more than 21%.
The overall Democratic fundraising edge online widened by $100 million from the last quarter of 2021 to the most recent three-month period, records show.
@Carla A lot of small-time donors are giving primarily to Trump. The fat cats are a different story, but it's always bad optics if most of your money comes from fat cats. You look bought and paid for if you do that.
im sure hes got a dollar or 2 spare.. like he gives a shit. the rinos and GP have finally woken up and realised their been primary'd and replaced. battle lines have been drawn. the establishment repubs v trump repubs. the turtle,pence v trump
the turtle and pence are going to be left wanting..
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout TDS is an incredible phenomenon. The world is on freakin' fire...and the Biden administration has doused it with gasoline...and yet, she wonders who will pay Trump's legal fees while doubting he'll ever be indicted. SMDH
Trump isnt going to be formally charged with anything. This is nothing but a show trial, a real trial would exonerate Trump, again, and the libs cant afford for that to happen.
@TexChik all of the witnesses are republican. All of them. Soooo many rinos, right?
You may be correct. Trump may not be indicted. But he may. Maybe those that enabled him will go down. Maybe not. I am just curious how much the RNC is willing to spend. And if they will spend it should charges become criminal.
Really hard to even speculate what the RNC will do these days. All I know, is that they won't be paying his legal fees anymore if he announces his 2024 presidential aspirations and campaign before this year's midterm election.
@LvChris that's insane. Should he be found guilty of a crime...it is just so blatantly bad.

I don't understand why they want to blow their money supporting a guy who allegedly can support himself (supposedly he is rich, but understandably his tax returns are still under audit ... but then again the schmucks will want to attend his rallies and buy his merch)
What happened to personal responsibility and pulling oneself up by the bootstraps?
