RNC considers cutting cash to Trump
GOP officials lay the groundwork to blame their nominee if Clinton wins.

Publicly, Republican Party officials continue to stand by Donald Trump. Privately, at the highest levels, party leaders have started talking about cutting off support to Trump in October and redirecting cash to save endangered congressional majorities.

Since the Cleveland convention, top party officials have been quietly making the case to political journalists, donors and GOP operatives that the Republican National Committee has done more to help Trump than it did to support its 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, and that therefore Trump has only himself and his campaign to blame for his precipitous slide in the polls, according to people who have spoken with Republican leadership.

1. did they finally figure out he is swindling them?

kind of funny to watch the supposed party of business get scammed by a top notch grifter. Plus he is wrecking their party at the same time.

2. That's what they did to Dole in 1996

They realized (Haley Babour I think) that he wasn't going to win so their took the money elsewhere.

3. And how much is Trump hurting the RNC's fund-raising efforts?

I suspect the negative effect is quite substantial. That must be causing serious concern.
