If Trump wins, it'll likely be the last election we ever have. Dictator on day one and all...
If he doesn't win, he will have drained the party and it's donors of all of their cash.
He already gets the lions share of it and dumps it into a legal black hole, and now Lara plans to divert what little funding was leftover for the local and congressional races to Trump too.
They're literally all in on him, so can they recover in 2 years for the midterms if he cleans them out?
If they have no cash for the midterms and we get a blue wave, what happens to their gerrymandered districts?
This election might be it for them.

Because it is. There will be no more campaigns and elections after 2024 if the orange wins. It’s not just him but the entire GOP machinery is waiting in the wings armed and ready to bring on fascism as soon as their guy gets in the office and controls the military.
“Stand down and stand by” that was his command to the GOP militia. They are standing by.
The whole thing reminds me of Cersei skipping her trial at the temple. Trump, and the RNC, are willing to lose all of the downstream races as long as Trump wins because they just plan to kill all the democrats as soon as he takes over the armed forces. It's terrifying.
The article focuses on Trump and his legal problems and his desperation, but the fact that the Boomers are going to start dying en masse over the next decade (the oldest ones are now 78) is another factor. Their demographic is getting old as shit. That's why they are so desperate as a whole.
But seriously, I think they have to because with all of their gerrymandering and election prices fuckery, they're still losing elections because of their Nasi-ism and fascist daddy issues being front and center of the party now.
They know damn well the writing is on the wall when the daddy issue boomers are dying quicker than they thought, gen-x is split, the new generation hates Nazis, and the fact that they know they can't not be Nazis without losing their base, if they don't win now and squash democracy now they're going to fade away.
the leading contenders for the new national party leadership have said in plain english and on right wing media that if they get in and take charge that every dollar the party raises will go to electing trump. they are saying this with one big state without state chair, one swing state with a state chair under indictment, and one big swing state with a party civil war. this is notwithstanding me at last reports literally having more money in my checking account than one state's party.
the national party's funds won't go to repair the local infrastructure. or to protect vulnerable members in the house and senate or state houses that are in the balance. the national party's funds will be going straight to trump. the money not going to pay his legal fees that is.
let's hope that their fears come true. because as soon as trump got to power, the republican party has acted like nothing but a cult with a strong religious ferver. having one national party being a literal cult acting as a political party in a country this size is not good for anybody.
Trump is a parasite, he has eaten away the Republican party and destroyed it and himself in the process. Personally, I think this is the greatest thing that could happen for this country and international democracy as a whole. Hopefully the Democrats become the next right wing party (they already are right wing) so we can see the emergence of a proper left wing party (and by left I mean Socialism).
There will be no US of A 8y after Trump is crowned GEOTUS:
( GEOTUS means "God Emperor Of The United States", and you can go on wikipedia & search for GEOTUS, and you'll be surrepticiously landed on the Donald Trump page,
because they hid that there IS a GEOTUS page on wikipedia, in order to not have it show-up in the search-statistics, and did-so by altering their search-logic for that special-case.
The US Civil War Part2 will have butchered faaar too much of the population & country,
& the eastern-seaboard should get chopped-off by a tsunami as sea-level-rise floods-into ( thereby lubricating ) the unstable Canary Island ( volcanic: it isn't solid rock, it is zillions of pieces of rock formed-onto each-other, but not bonded-together, so it's completely fragile ), and the extra-kinetic-energy of hurricanes/cyclones has obviously jumped, lately, that energy only has to bear on that island, and the ( already modeled ) tsunami will then be shoved into existence by a cubic-km of rock shoving the Atlantic our way.
As Scientific American published awhile ago that +2C means 6m sea-level-rise, and we've already crossed the +1.52C level, in the past 12 months, so ClimatePunctuation is going to continue accelerating WAAAY quicker than all the bullshit "consensus" models said, and we're going to continue ignoring/denying everything until it's bullets-in-everbody-time, because That's How We "Cope".
The Great Filter, demonstrated, systematically.
Stupid waste of potential & opportunity, but that's the best we could do, so our action proves.
Corrution won't permit objectivity to control anything in our world, and we .. accommodate that.
