At one time I sent money to the RNC and NRA. I am not wealthy, live a frugal life, and drive a 30 year old car
Both used my money to live the high life. Neither delivered the expected goods.
The RNC, NRA and Televangelists have the same playbook.
I did the same till the mid 90s. And as a donor I started meeting political consultants.
Trust me most of them are sewer scum.
