Trump Campaign Swallows the GOP

Is he the only one not aware of the coming tsunami against him? Perhaps this is his way of swallowing the contributions...he is all about the benjamins.

Trump Campaign Swallows the GOP
December 18, 2018 at 6:59 am EST By Taegan Goddard

President Trump “is planning to roll out an unprecedented structure for his 2020 reelection, a streamlined organization that incorporates the [RNC] and the president’s campaign into a single entity. It’s a stark expression of Trump’s stranglehold over the Republican Party: Traditionally, a presidential reelection committee has worked in tandem with the national party committee, not subsumed it,” Politico reports.

“Under the plan, which has been in the works for several weeks, the Trump reelection campaign and the RNC will merge their field and fundraising programs into a joint outfit dubbed Trump Victory. The two teams will also share office space rather than operate out of separate buildings, as has been custom. The goal is to create a single, seamless organization that moves quickly, saves resources, and — perhaps most crucially — minimizes staff overlap and the kind of infighting that marked the 2016 relationship between the Trump campaign and the party.”

1. And the GOP is . . . . apprently OK with this?

I guess as long as they get THEIR MONEY, they just don't care anymore.

6. They're being blackmailed, bout the only reason those idiots would still be in lock step

7. The only thing I can

wrap my mind around is the idea that they are all so compromised that they can't step out of line or that they don't plan for the elections to matter at all, because they plan on finding a way to move to a dictatorship with that horrible orange thing in charge.

2. So the RNC and Trump will be one

I can see the Republican Reps smacking their heads in many cases (at least the ones who survived 2018) asking why? And for the 3 or so vulnerable Senators they must be asking the same thing. The headwinds are strong against Trump right now. I could see this sinking the entire party for years to come.

3. I wonder how many members the GOP has lost during this reign of stupid terror.

When I hear polls about 80% of Republicans supporting Trump, I wonder if that 80% today would be significantly less than the 80% of 2016.

4. It is all about control. Can't believe the GOP is that stupid. They are going to

lay down with dogs and get up with fleas -or not be able to get up at all.

8. Ain't no party like a Trump Pyrrhic Victory party!

9. If trump is not the nominee, the GOP will be having some real issues
