Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This doesn't mean shit if Trump wins the Presidency.
But if he loses, this will seriously harm the RNC's ability to support any Republican candidates after this year.
Slowing them down after this is a plus, sure; but I'm still hung up on this: what would this let him get away with?
Trump is in full control of RNC spending. Money coming in, money going out, it all flows through Trump.
You can't be a Republican candidate without professing fealty to him.
Trump also has an MO which is give me everything, I give you nothing, so it's suspect that he'll use all funding for all candidates to line his own pockets which won't allow any other Republicans to compete in any of their races.
The danger to Republicans is that after this year if Trump doesn't secure the Presidential nomination, all funding still goes to Trump, and Republicans are still kissing the ring of a man who holds no power outside of his undying support by 30% of voting Americans and his connection to Putin.
What this tells me personally is that Republicans are all in on a Trump 2025 presidency, and my beliefs are that the rich and elite are too.
I'm fairly concerned for the General election and expect a few more Biden attacks, Russian disinformation, and an economic crash all to attempt to sink Biden below Trump
