His key fund has spent nearly all of the more than $150 million it raised, and is sitting on less than $4 million, according to the latest numbers available. He’s already dug into his fund for 2024 ads, and borrowed money to post bail in Georgia. And some of his allies are begging for donations, saying he won’t pony up.

    I think it’s hilarious that he’s supposedly a billionaire yet the RNC and their various related PACs are willing to go broke for him even though he is unpopular enough that the candidates he endorsed lost in the midterms. He’s losing them elections left and right and yet they still can’t stop themselves from throwing money at him.
    He’s like King Midas but everything he touches turns to shit.

      he packed the court, he personally killed roe, and he gives americans they hate the most, women/brown people/homosexuals nightmares. he is their god. they don’t care about anything else. racists would throw their own children into fire if it meant mud people might get it worse than they have it now. it really is that simple.

        you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.…

      But you see, he’s only broke because the very very mean libs stole the election from him which forced him to try to overthrow the government. Then they led all kinds of witch hunts against him after he tried to show that he was right and expose election fraud. None of this is his fault!!! He’s innocent! He averted nuclear Holocaust!! /s

      They can’t win without his base. Polls are continually showing somewhere around 30-40% of Republicans who voted for him don’t think they’d show up if he isn’t the candidate. They’re basically stuck with him for now. If they get rid of him, it’d be an absolute blood bath and they know it.

      This is why traditionally after a major defeat in a general election candidates gracefully step down on the presidential stage. It only makes sense, you’ve proven you can’t win, give someone else a chance. Trump however doesn’t give a single fuck about the republican party and he’s going to destroy them. A rematch of the same candidates in a presidential is about unheard of in modern American history for a reason.
