Trump blasts RNC: Stop using my name to raise money

Donald Trump denounced the Republican National Committee Saturday for using his popularity to shill for cash.

The RNC sent an e-mail hours before Saturday’s South Carolina debate asking supporters to give between $35 and $250 to “Get on Trump’s List.”

“If you put your name on his list of active party supporters, he will proudly see your name next to the amount you chose to donate to the nominee’s war chest,” the message read.

But Trump said he never approved the solicitation.

Full Clown Slapfight

1. That is delicious.

The GOP is in such dire straits that they have to con people into giving them money by using the name of a con without his permission. A con who is happy to use other people's names and material without permission, also.

2. It is priceless, Mal.

I keep wanting to giggle.

3. I truly feel guilty...

... or at least sheepish. The carnival of the GOP keeps getting crazier and crazier, and I cannot help but be amused. Even though I am perfectly aware (and lament) that it is representative of a deep dysfunction in American society. But then, I always thought that, and so it is nice to feel vindicated, but it is rather like a terminal patient being grimly satisfied that he does, in fact, have the cancer he thought he had.

6. It is reality TV is what it is, Trump has turned the Republican primary into a reality TV show.

People forget, that's what he is, a reality TV star. And this sure looks like the same schtick to me.

It's not just disfunctional, it's fictional, a drama unrelated to real life, conducted at the level of sixth-grade playground status disputes.

Have they laid hands on each other yet?

5. Who would have thought that in their last moment of sheer desperation

even the PT Barnum of today would be fighting with them? Their cash cow just bit them...

4. Waaaaaaah! Waaaaaaah !!

Sheesh, what a crybaby that Trump is.

7. My reaction

8. How does that conflict with his interests?

Don't get why he has a problem with it!

10. He probably wants any donations from his fans to come straight to him and not the RNC.

He couldn't care less about supporting anyone else in his party.

9. "he will proudly see your name..."

Any donor under a zillion dollars who thinks Trump will read the list is delusional.
