Multiple state Republican parties are going broke
Multiple state Republican parties are going broke
Several state Republican parties are nearly broke or destroyed by infighting as the November election cycle begins.
You're viewing a single thread.
In Arizona and Michigan, two states where the GOP presidential candidate will likely have to win a majority of suburban voters to get back in the White House, the state Republican parties are running critically short on money. In Arizona, the state GOP has just $14,800 left in the bank at the end of August, as reported by the Arizona Mirror.
$14,800 is an insanely low amount of money.
You can't win a contested small-time county election with $15k.
In Minnesota the republican party had $8000 in cash on hand and is $76,000 in debt the last I read in the local news. And that has been the general situation for the past year. There has been talk of bankruptcy.
Expect a shower of rubles to pour in and provide as much support as that anemic currency can afford.
So about a dollar.
Russia has their own more pressing issues currently.
Interfering with US gov decision making is currently a very high priority for them...
If you don't think American politics haven't been a pressing issue for Russia for the past decade at least, then you haven't been paying attention
Oh I'm sure that's true, but that doesn't change sanctions and their own funding drying up. I'm sure they'll still bribe who they can, but the NRA looks to be a bad investment now.
Kind of crazy the funding issues (I don't want to call them problems because, honestly this is great news) are so widespread between states.
Really weird situation I hope gets investigated more. I would read an entire book on this.
