The Grift continues

"President Donald Trump couldn’t make it any clearer: He needs his supporters to fork over cash for the all-important Georgia Senate runoff elections.
“We MUST defend Georgia from the Dems!” he wrote in one recent text message. “I need YOU to secure a WIN in Georgia,” he said in another. “Help us WIN both Senate races in Georgia & STOP Socialist Dems,” he pleaded a few days later.
There’s just one hitch: Trump’s new political machine is pocketing most of the dough — and the campaigns of the Georgia senators competing in the Jan. 5 races aren’t getting a cent.
Trump’s aggressive fundraising blitz appears to be devoted to helping the party defend Georgia’s two Senate seats and, with them, the Senate majority. But the fine print shows that most of the proceeds are going toward Trump’s newly launched PAC, which he plans to use to fund his future political activities. Only a fraction is going to the Republican National Committee, which is investing $20 million into the runoffs.
A stampede of political figures from both parties are emailing their donors with links to donate directly to the Georgia candidates, but the president is not among them.
Trump’s fundraising ploy has rankled senior Republicans, who worry small-dollar donations are being redirected away from the runoffs. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has reached out to the White House and RNC to express its concern and to question the decision, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Weird, why does so much money need to be spent to win an election?

But yeah, this is like the charities that barely donate to the cause and keep the rest as administrator fees etc
Don’t trick the folks into misgiving their money

So we are looking at nearly $12mil for overhead

Which includes fundraising, management and general expenses
I wonder what all falls under those umbrellas?
I’m sure a charitable foundation has $12mil in operational costs annually

She's a simpleton who slept her way so far ... then got the rest of the way based on her "diversity."

You don't get where she is simply based on diversity. How do you explain all of the women and minorities that have never achieved all she has? She comes from a brilliant family and she has has achieved a lot on her own. You may not like her views, but to act like she hasn't achieved anything is just playing partisan politics or possible some other terrible things.

Let's talk about actual reality rather than some imaginary future that only exists in your clouded little mind.

Well, this cannot be repeated too often.
Grifter gonna grift !!
Unfortunately for the Republican Party, I think the Donald has convinced himself that politics is a better and easier hustle than real estate. And he may be right !
