...don't seem to be managing very well.
Former President Donald Trump may be fundraising successfully (enough to pay his defense lawyers anyway) but at the state level, it's a very different story. State Republican Parties in important parts of the country are going broke as they are taken over by MAGA extremists who don't know how to organize or win elections, Jim Geraghty wrote for the Conservative National Review on Tuesday. "Even worse for the GOP, these aren’t just any states — Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota all rank as either key swing states or once-purple states that would be tantalizing targets in a good year," wrote Geraghty.
The Michigan GOP has been in turmoil since it was taken over by Kristina Karamo, a QAnon-obsessed election denier who ran unsuccessfully for secretary of state in 2022; party officials have been arguing with her and her loyalists over financial arrangements, and tensions have escalated to the point that two officials got in a physical fight that put one in the hospital. Meanwhile, the Minnesota GOP is down to just $53.00 dollars in the bank, with hundreds of thousands in debt. "The MAGA crowd now running these state parties insisted they didn’t need anyone else," concluded Geraghty. "And now we see where that got them."
@mchill saidThis suggests that we could lose the election, and that we will have a Democratic president to bring down this country. Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Joe - It will take a great deal more than this to "bring you up to speed." 😏
@mchill saidWho’d have thought conspiracy nuts filled with hatred and aims so far off goal would be crap at organising things?

@mchill saidThey raise money handily through idiot fanatic rabid supporters, but they still don't pay their bills.

I'm surprised any lawyers still want to work for him. He's the quintessential grifter.
@averagejoe1 saidNewsflash: The People will win this election and the Democrat president will continue to protect this country from the clear and present danger named Donald Trump.
