I'm actually torn on this. If they don't pay for Trumps legal woes, he has to pay them out of his own coffers, which will seriously hit his pride and self image, which in turn will make him suffer. On the other hand, draining the RNCs chests will impede their ability to support REP candidates everywhere.
The RNC shouldn't be allowed to cover his expenses. We can't stop random billionaires from bailing him out but he should need to grovel like a bitch to make it happen... and be required to pay tax on that bailout.
How many 'Republican National Committee members' are there and are they, like, filthy rich? (not from US). Kicking in a few million each could be a small price to be in favour with your future dictator
They are asking if the entire committee is rich people.
Yep. I’m more and more ok with the GOP just going broke and fizzling out. Some other party will pop up but it won’t be the same.
My thought is, If Trump pays himself he will simply finance it and when his whole house of cards falls someone else will be on the hook with his biggest bankruptcy in history - which is inevitable.
On the other hand if it comes from campaign funds then the money will actually get drained from people who need it right now, so for me it's a clear choice, let the campaign pay!
