In a Private Memo, GOP Strategist Explains Why The Republican Party is Dying


In a Private Memo, GOP Strategist Explains Why The Republican Party is Dying

The Koch brothers’ dark money screwed Republicans again.

In California, an FPPC investigation into conservative groups funneling money into the 2012 state election turned a previously private GOP strategist’s memo public. The memo Republican consultant and fundraiser Jeff Miller wrote to his clients was meant to be private, but as part of the documents included in the investigation into the Koch brothers dark money, it is now public.

The state ended up levying $16 million in fines against conservative groups, which they probably won’t end up paying but a legislative point has been made.

Miller’s memo is a death knell for California Republicans, noting that the only way they are going to be able to hang on is to “to try and force the Democrats into making mistakes”. Miller has a strong reputation within the business community, so his words should carry some weight.
