Shocking Numbers Reveal GOPs Big Secret: Trump Is Bankrupting The Republican Party

........................
An analysis of RNC fundraising data has revealed that beyond losing, Donald Trumps drain of a campaign is literally bankrupting the Republican Party.
According to Open Secrets, RNC contributions are at their lowest point since before 2004:
Virtually every category of receipts shows a decline this year. Contributions from individuals where the amount given is less than $200 (the unitemized category) is less than half what it was in July of 2004, 2008 and 2012. There is a similar decline in direct contributions of larger amounts where specific information about the donor is included in the report. These itemized contributions total much less than July 2004 and 2008 and are even smaller than July 2012 when joint fundraising became much more important.
These joint fundraising efforts where the presidential campaign works together with the national party and state parties around the country are increasingly important, and the RNC total from those efforts also lags in July compared with 2012 and 2008. The Trump campaign has talked about huge joint fundraising successes, but neither the campaign nor the RNC has received all that much from this process so far comparatively.

Donald Trump is bleeding the Republican Party dry. It is no surprise that a man who has built his career on bankruptcy and debt is mooching off of the Republican Party. What is shocking is how quickly Trump has pushed the RNC towards insolvency.......................

(714 posts)It's called "bleeding the beast". Basically, they get their entire clan/cult to set up for every dime of public assistance they can get, in an effort to drain the US government of funds. I'm not saying that Drumph is exactly doing that, but it does come to mind.
