RNC ADMITS THEY HAVE DONE MORE FOR TRUMP THAN THEY DID FOR ROMNEY

…The Donald & Hillary

 

Trump and the RNC are in a toxic co-dependent relationship that most likely won't end well for either of them.

 

If you are asking yourself why does it appear that Donald Trump is now seriously trying to become “presidential”, it is important to understand what the inside story says.  It says that top party officials have been quietly making the case to political journalists, donors and GOP operatives that the Republican National Committee (RNC) has done more to help Trump than it did to support Mitt Romney.  According to Politico, the RNC officials are saying behind closed doors—if not publicly—that it's a good bet the RNC will be the first of the two to jump ship with Trump.

 

The reality is that Trump and the RNC are in a toxic co-dependent relationship that most likely won't end well for either of them.

 

Trump seriously needs the RNC for the election infrastructure it's providing his virtually nonexistent ground campaign in battleground states and elsewhere. But the RNC also needs every penny it can squeeze from Trump in terms of fundraising, which he is finally doing.

 

According to sources close to Reince Priebus, the RNC chairman has warned that if Trump does not better heed his continuing advice to avoid dustups driven by his rhetoric, the RNC would not be able to help him as much.  And the chairman has suggested that money and ground resources might still be diverted.  You might notice that Trump’s campaign is more and more looking somewhat like a real campaign, but is it too little too later?

 

The other issue is that the RNC members keep saying is that Trump has only himself and his campaign to blame for his continued slide in the polls.

 

To this point about diverting RNC funds, RNC strategist Sean Spicer has suggested a mid-October deadline for turning around the presidential campaign.  Spicer suggested last week to reporters and in separate discussions with GOP operatives that it would cause serious concern inside the RNC if Trump were to remain in a weakened position by then.

 

I am sorry, but the idea that anything can be done to mitigate Trump's down-ticket damage starting as late as mid-October is laughable. Mid-October is only 3 weeks from the election.  One would hope that the RNC knows how to read a calendar.

 

What is perhaps funniest about all this is the fact that Trump—who says he is going to negotiate "the best" deals around the world as president, he has left himself entirely at the mercy of the RNC because he was too lazy and undisciplined to develop his own electoral ground game.  Not to mention that Donald Trump is in serious debt with the Chinese and Goldman–Sachs.  How is he going to negotiate deals honestly with people like these that he is so indebted to?

 

Just more and more proof of how uninformed and how ignorant Trump is for what it takes to be a real, qualified person for the most powerful position in the world.

 

It’s too bad that Hillary has become such a flawed candidate, because as the president has said, Hillary Clinton is at the least, the most seriously qualified candidate for US president in history.
