I will send them money when they support the causes I am interested in. Right now they are doing nothing. If the presidential candidate is one I can honestly support I will send money...if they develop a backbone about illegal aliens invading our country I will send money......if they continue to disappoint me I will send nothing.

Well, “they” don’t create the presidential candidate. You do. If your preferred candidate doesn’t win the nomination, a true conservative is accountable for his own failures — and that failure would be yours. You didn’t persuade enough people. You didn’t fund raise enough. You didn’t prepare enough position papers and travel to your candidate’s campaign to get them embraced — and if embraced those papers didn’t persuade the voters. The RNC does not annoint a presidential candidate. The voters elect one. You have every opportunity to achieve victory in that regard, or failure, and what happens is your doing, not theirs.

As to illegals and invasion, as I said in the original post, money is about numbers. You are obligated to quantify your position. How much deportation earns them how much contribution? What % increase in deportation equates to how many dollars will you send them.

Money is about numbers. Those who want to withhold contributions from the RNC because of displeasure over illegal immigration need to quantify what progress in deportations equates to how many dollars. And refer back to the original post to see what happens if the performance curve insisted on is too steep.

I told the RNC that from now on I would be sending money directly to the candidates I support instead of to them.
