Trump's broke. That's why he put Lara trump as co chair and you hear that some ppl want the RNC to pay donnie's bills even though that would mean less money for down ballot candidates. Basically means about a billion needed and it would fuck the GOP in congress. I hope they go bankrupt.

Ivanka fell out of favor?

I think you misunderstood their statement: Trump wants Laura to help him fuck the RNC, whereas Ivanka he just wants to fuck.

The catch is that Trump's a prodigious fundraiser for the party. So not putting Lara on the co-chair spot could conceivably mean she runs of and does independent fundraising at the RNC's implicit expense.

Basically means about a billion needed and it would fuck the GOP in congress.

I hate to say it, but Trump's coat-tails alone are probably worth a billion in GOP organizing and advertising. His base loves him and his name at the top of the ticket will get out far more votes in 2024 than the GOP received in 2022.

Thanks for this nightmare take.

This combined with the inability of the DNC to come up with any sort of unified messaging other than defeating Drumpf is terrifying.
