Wrong. NH, MI, and SC all lost 50%.
Sending money to the RNC seems like sending money to the IRS.....paying a middleman to spend your money for you on things you do not want.
They called me last week with their hand out. I informed them politely that I had given up on the party, but would assist them monetarily if they started promoting conservative causes again.
Shouldn't have taken the job in that case.
What could be more conservative as a principle than beating Democrats?
I have never understood this nuanced view from FR types that work towards Democrat victory and contort their mindset into believing this is noble work.
It’s not rocket science. Defeat Democrats. Democrats are more liberal than Republicans. There is no such thing as a conservative. Never has been. Never will be. There are only people more conservative than others — and less liberal than others.
See how straightforward that is? When you start indulging in nuance and taking actions and inactions to advance the Democrat cause, you find yourself in contorted reasoning that results in condemning your family and friends to life under Schumer and Hillary and Obama.
I’ve received maybe 10 or so mailings from the NRCC in the past year. All have been returned with ZERO dollars and a note suggesting that I would donate again when the party returns to conservative principles and applies them to action.
Those states lost 50% of their delegates because they also moved their elections to dates before 05 Feb.
My beef is specifically with the fact that the RNC gets its knickers in a bunch over who votes when (who the hell cares?) while the party’s control over who its own nominee will be is diluted through the open primary process.
Why haven’t “open” primary states been penalized by the RNC with lowered delegate counts? The loss of influence and control over your own nominee is a helluva lot more important than on what day a state has a primary.
My point stands: screw the RNC until they get a handle on brand management.
principle than beating Democrats? Actually being conservative maybe (the republicans rarely demonstrate these today).
I never understood the party-loyalty (to the point of slavery) and brainwashed by the media mentality that causes otherwise good patriotic traditional Americans to blindly give their fealty toward an organization that continues to screw them and their families..! ;)
Boenher and Blunt have the charisma of a door nail.

No such thing as being conservative or being a conservative.
There are only people more conservative than others. And more liberal than others. There are no conservatives. And no liberals.
That’s not true owen (where as there is the truth that you point out that people’s beliefs can change): One’s beliefs does make one a liberal or a conservative, and if you support liberalism you probably can be considered a liberal to those whom do not!
The Republicans do not demonstrate ‘much’ conservatism compared to conservatives of yesterday therefore I may consider them liberal for letting their beliefs slide (while I will continue to run right).
