“Republican Senate hopefuls are getting crushed on airwaves across the country while their national campaign fund is pulling ads and running low on cash — leading some campaign advisers to ask where all the money went and to demand an audit of the committee’s finances, according to Republican strategists involved in the discussions,” the Washington Post reports.

“In a highly unusual move, the National Republican Senatorial Committee this week canceled bookings worth about $10 million, including in the critical states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona.”

1. And this:

"SNIP.......

The NRSC invested heavily in expanding its digital fundraising and building up its database of small-dollar donors. But online giving to Republicans, not just the NRSC, sagged earlier this year from what consultants said was a combination of inflation, changes to Facebook advertising policies, concerns about emails caught in spam filters, and complacency with an anticipated Republican wave. Some Republicans also suspect former president Donald Trump’s relentless fundraising pitches and cash hoarding has exhausted the party’s online donor base.

4. They put the guy who oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in history...

In charge of their money and then they're shocked, SHOCKED, when their money goes missing. Morons.

NRSC funds had reportedly reached $173 million this election cycle but were already down to $28.4 million by the end of June.

The committee spent more than $12 million on American Express credit card payments with an unclear purpose, along with $13 million for consultants and $9 million on debt payments, the Post said.

5. You guys put Rick Scott in charge of something and then wonder where the money went?

On top of that, how much money is Donald Trump pulling in? How many people are sending him money instead of contributing to Republican campaigns?

You nitwits are being eaten alive by the very monsters you bred.

6. Herschel Walker is whining that he is running out of money. JD Vance is getting more money.

10. maybe paying Trump's legal bills wasn't a great idea

11. Maybe the RNC doesn't want these "Trump" candidates to win

Maybe they are will to let Democrats expand their majorities with the thought that that might make them more vulnerable in 2024.

Or at the very least could help them get rid of Trump in 2024.

At the end of the day, they are all grifters.
