Trump launches unprecedented reelection machine

[EarthFirst]

Source: Politico

President Donald Trump is planning to roll out an unprecedented structure for his 2020 reelection, a streamlined organization that incorporates the Republican National Committee and the president’s campaign into a single entity.

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.

“We are going to streamline this presidential campaign like no presidential campaign has been streamlined before,” said Chris Carr, a veteran party strategist who has been tapped to serve as political director on the Trump reelection effort.

Speaking to the departure from presidential campaign tradition, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called it “the biggest, most efficient and unified campaign operation in American history.”

Primary? What primary?

[htuttle]

1. Trump isn't going to allow a Republican primary

Nope. No way.

[watoos]

4. One doesn't primary the king.

If Trump does make it that far, I think it's better to run against him than run against Kasich/Haley.

[dembotoz]

2. Bring down rump bring down gop

Like health care no gop plan b?

[TheBlackAdder]

34. Trump's 2020 election crimes will now become the GOP's election crimes too.

[padah513]

3. He won't let the rats abandon ship

If he's going down, he's taking them all with him

[certainot]

38. they've still got 1500 radio stations coordinated with kremlin trolling

gop won't go down that hard because 1500 radio stations are and have been polluting jury pools re trump vs 'deep state' for 3 years while liberals were listening to music

gop's going to be able to force a lot compromise because of it and then the same propaganda ops will be used to convince dems their politicians are spineless, don't care, same as the cons - and they'll stay home on election

works every time

[patricia92243]

5. In other words, he will be able to control which candidates get money. If not a

Trump worshipper - no money for you.

He who controls the purse strings rules -always!!

[watoos]

8. Bingo!

[not fooled]

32. donnie DOES have talents

in conniving and exercising control to his benefit.

Oh, and he's trying to hold off indictment for another 4 years. Presuming, of course, he doesn't make a plea deal to keep his ass out of jail and resign during 2019.

[duforsure]

6. He won't be able to run

After he's held accountable , but his rally's are nothing more than conning people for campaign donations funds for his legal bills , and debt he has, not for th ere-election campaign like he claims.

[Maxheader]

7. Streamline a political campaign? By the repubicans?

[spike91nz]

9. Well

That is both the most optimistic and fascistic thing I have ever heard. Remarkable! The Republican petty is now literally the party of the Trump brand. Going to be hard for other “republicans” to run away from that turd in 2020.

[Scarsdale]

23. The woman mentioned

is related to Mitt Romney. Wanna bet there is a clause in this plan to transfer all the $$$$ to Mittens once tRump is indicted?

[LakeSuperiorView]

10. "The two teams will also share office space"

Any guesses where that office space will be? Funneling campaign dollars into Trump rents is a sure bet...

[geardaddy]

31. Spot on.

He'll be taking money hand over fist.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. So, the Nazis are going to march together. No need for

any primaries. The GOP will be officially the Trump Party. You're either with them or an enemy.

[pangaia]

25. That is it absolutely. Hitler in America.

Stalin in America.. you name it.

It is no joke.

[Farmer-Rick]

12. With all that little Putin financing he should be able to streamline the cons

Combine all those Traitor Trump businesses with the GOP and White House. Add a little Putin campaign contribution through the NRA and we get another 4 years of Traitor Trump.

It's all about the money.....and he's got Kavanaugh to cover his huge ass when charges are brought. It's all good betraying your country for fun and profit. Just ask the Koch brothers how well that works.

[Achilleaze]

13. The russians have a key place in this republican scheme

to further defraud and destroy America under the darkside, increasingly fascist regime of the KGOP republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

[machoneman]

41. Well, one can bet Mueller and other Federal agencies will monitor every aspect....

of this new organization, video their comings and goings, intercept all communications, peek into bank accounts and more!

[rainin]

14. They are all so compromised. There is no logical reason for republicans to go along

with this other than they have been silenced by compromising material. The corruption is deep.

[BigOleDummy]

15. Exactly!

You hit the nail on the head.

[Larrybanal]

20. its happening

[2naSalit]

39. +1

[beachbum bob]

16. lol, Im looking forward for democrats taking on trump and GOP defending a crook

no Jill stein in 2020 and no bernie bros russian bots

[Nitram]

17. This is fantastic news. I want to see Trump and the GOP tied together and inseperable in

the public mind.

[DownriverDem]

18. It's pretty clear

That trump and the GOP are tied together. The repubs have done nothing to reign in trump.

[Nitram]

19. We keep hearing that Republicans might be trying to distance themselves, but they

don't have the balls to cut him loose until it's too late.

[NewJeffCT]

21. So, they're streamlining the organizations

in order to better launder money from the Russians and Saudis.

[SergeStorms]

37. Also...

there's one less layer of bureaucracy between Trump and the money. It's always about getting to the money for Donnie.

[DBoon]

22. so he now has a lrger source of funds to pillage for his personal use?

sounds like a plan

[Texin]

24. Of course they're "sharing office space." Their computer system is going to be hardwired to Moscow.

[pangaia]

26. Folks, do NOT laugh. It is not a joke.

[RandySF]

27. This ought to scare the shit out of a lot of downballot Republicans

[democratisphere]

28. drumpf will be removed from office in 2019.

[ChicagoRonin]

29. Hmmm . . . How much do you think Trump is stealing from the RNC?

Amid all the other forms of corruption Trump and his buddies seemed to be engaged in, I can't help but think they are so rotten they're likely stealing from each other as well. With all that money rolling in from donors, do you really think Trump is capable of not sticking his hand into the cookie jar?

[NoMoreRepugs]

30. Facism on the Front Page. Trump Party politics.

[Hugin]

33. So, the Republican party is officially dead, then.

They have sold their collective souls to the Hate Pumpkin.

It truly is the Party of Trump.

Figures.

[Perseus]

35. I hope all this effort is futile

I hope he is in jail to watch the RNC do its own thing, without him.

He still believes he will get out of all these investigations without a scratch...if that were to happen it would be a blow to justice in the USA.

[sagesnow]

36. Rump's "Get Out of Jail Free Card" expires if

he loses the 2020 election. Will he be able to rig another election in he favor?

[pecosbob]

40. It will be a long tour of visiting Trump properties, paying Trump companies as vendors

I predict it will be unique for all the grifting.

[dalton99a]

42. Unified under the supreme command of Vladimir Putin.

[apnu]

43. considering how corrupt the Trump campaign and transition in 2016 was...

This will be that, but on a much larger scale.

Trump is going to suck all the oxygen and money out of the room. He's that greedy, and both his lifestyle and grifting ways demand constant influx of cash to keep the con going.

[Cosmocat]

44. But, he is going to up and resign

I have no idea what makes people want to think that, but that is what people are saying.

[truthisfreedom]

45. The idea of them wasting billions of repuke dollars

Makes me guffaw.

[citizen blues]

46. R.I.P. GOP

The RNC is now a RINO - Republican In Name Only.

[Marie Marie]

47. Why? He obviously hates his job and is miserable in it and lousy at it.

I guess for him, it is all about winning.

[nitpicker]

48. The RNC

Just put the Thump millstone around their necks.

[orangecrush]

49. Woooooooooooooo!
