When you constantly rag on your donors as being RINOs, etc., sooner or later they are going to tell you to ■■■■ off and die.
And that is basically what has happened to the Michigan GOP. Donations have dried up.
Pretty much kills any chance of contesting Debbie Stabenow in 2024. And Republicans should just go ahead and not even contest Michigan in the Presidential election. If you don’t have a State Party capable of doing the legwork, any money from the National Party would just be wasted.
No, its broke because Trump keeps the money for himself and bypasses the GOP entirely. Then he pays his legal bills from it, and holds fun little rallies for his followers.
Oops. That may have changed. They warned him they would stop paying his legal defense bills if he announced for 2024, but I don’t know if they actually stopped or not.
