This sucks. Here is why. I ran a congressional campaign in 2022 and had a deal with CFG if we raised $250k in Q1 of 2022 they would endorse my candidate and allow use of their membership list to fundraise off. That was huge. We didnt hit the mark.
Here is why it is bad. That was an R+30 district and the competition has a conservative rating of 61/100.
Campaigns are all about the money. Campaign finance laws must be changed.
Tell that to the new candidates for 2024 and let the new county GOP chairs, district chairmen, and potentially a new RNC Chairwoman and their tune may change.
Politics is a knuckle dragging-club swinging band of mo-fo’s
Who set the $250K bar and why?
Repubs are adept at fighting each other, but no so good at fighting dims.
Interesting insight as to what the future holds. When the repubs were the minority, they complained that there was no way they could change things. Dims would not allow it and they had the majority.
Now the repubs have the majority, but the dims are still keeping them from governing.
Which proves what most of us have always believed...either the repubs are very poor political strategists or they are just another group in the “good old boys” club.
I believe it is half and half.
Too bad Jesse Helms is not around to show them that you don’t need to be in the majority to be able to influence the process.
