Trump allies on Republican National Committee want to help pay his legal bills
Members of the Republican National Committee believe the campaign arm of their party should pay for Donald Trump's legal bills.
A growing number of Republican National Committee members believe its campaign arm should help pay mounting legal bills for former President Donald Trump, a move that could strain the party’s ability to financially support other candidates in the 2024 election.
Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

That full quote was critical of Republican voters, but you could also see the yearning he had for democratic voters to be that basic and easy to trick.
And the party has been trying to make Dem voters like Republican voters ever since
Remember when people said they liked Trump because being rich made him impossible to buy?
That's what he said. I suppose some number of idiots must have parroted him.

I'm sure that a man who could bankrupt a casino can bankrupt the entire GOP.
Trump: Hold my
beerAdderall.I love when Trump scandals are so huge even Fox has to report them.
I'm actually torn on this. If they don't pay for Trumps legal woes, he has to pay them out of his own coffers, which will seriously hit his pride and self image, which in turn will make him suffer. On the other hand, draining the RNCs chests will impede their ability to support REP candidates everywhere.
The RNC shouldn't be allowed to cover his expenses. We can't stop random billionaires from bailing him out but he should need to grovel like a bitch to make it happen... and be required to pay tax on that bailout.
Yep. I’m more and more ok with the GOP just going broke and fizzling out. Some other party will pop up but it won’t be the same.
My thought is, If Trump pays himself he will simply finance it and when his whole house of cards falls someone else will be on the hook with his biggest bankruptcy in history - which is inevitable.
On the other hand if it comes from campaign funds then the money will actually get drained from people who need it right now, so for me it's a clear choice, let the campaign pay!
Let them, there will be no money for down ballot candidates and we can get a blue Congress.
Lol...
The good thing about the elderly running both parties is they don't learn from each other's mistakes.
2016 Hillary had a "donation sharing" program where lower ballot candidates were told everyone would get a portion.
Something like 90% went to Hillary, she wasted it, lost the presidency and caused Dems to lose a lot of other seats.
trump literally watched that happen and is now doing the same thing.
This whole thing is such an insanely high risk/high reward dynamic for both parties. I really hope this election ends up shattering the GOP as a viable political party… but that might not happen. Also, even if it does, it’s anyone’s guess what the successor party will turn into.
It takes s a long time to really fracture a party, it doesn't happen overnight
And honestly, the DNC's actions over the past primaries culminating in them pulling an entire states delegates in a primary Biden was not in any danger of losing...
Ds will fracture first. Or they'll both happen the same cycle at least.
If NH doesn't get delegates in 28 for something Dems in NH has no control of, the dem party is pretty much over.
I don't see NH republicans changing the state law, and I don't see DNC backing down because NH keeps going progressive.
So I expect NH won't get primary delegates for a while.
DNC drew a line in the sand. And there's no way for NH Dems to legally do what they want.
Whether or not the DNC understands doesn't matter. They're either completely ignorant of how the law works, or actively working against democracy.
Don't interrupt your enemy in the middle of making a mistake.
As long as the IRS hits Trump with the income tax on he 500+ million income this is for him.
