Republicans Are Simply Running Billionaires For Congress
Republicans seem to have just one qualification for Congressional candidates: immense personal wealth.
The ideal Republican candidate is one who can cut themself a big, fat check to self-fund a campaign, overcoming not just the fundraising efforts of Democratic opponents, but the whole need to deal with … the little people.
With Lara Trump converting the Republican National Committee into a means of funneling more money to her father-in-law, closing outreach centers, and laying off dozens of staffers, it’s not as if GOP candidates can count on anyone else to see them through. The Republican Party belongs to Donald Trump, and Republican candidates must ask only what they can do for Trump, not what Trump can do for them.
