Does the RNC Situation Look Bad?

 

Here's a fun thing we learned today--the RNC seems to have an agreement with the TrumpWorld Powers That Be to the effect that Trump legal fees get paid first, and then I guess the RNC biscuits just get whatever gravy slops over the plate. That's just beautiful. To put it in perspective, Save America PAC, the slush fund out of which Trump's legal fees are getting paid, has a burn rate that is way crazy--$230K a day on legal fees. And in the meanwhile, Trump's struggle-campaign can't afford campaign stops in probably not-crucial states like (checks notes) Arizona. (Was that a big deal in 2020? Let me think back....)

To put this all further in perspective, Nikki Haley, though out of the race, has more cash on hand as of the end of February than the RNC did. She didn't have the same issues with raising money or overspending because her campaign as a challenge to Trump in part rested on being a choice, without annihilating him via negative campaigning. 

You'd think this might make Haley a great option for VP, yes? After Trump decided she's a birdbrain and she decided he's probably senile, I kind of doubt it. She didn't endorse and I don't think it's likely he'll ask--but what if--?

What if Tulsi Gabbard? You know, when I read this I did one of those completely normal-person scream-laughs. You know the kind: where you clutch the furniture and wordlessly, mirthlessly scream until someone puts a rag in your mouth and offers a sedative? (I'm FINE THOUGH.) But really, I almost put this a skootch above the likelihood of Marco Rubio, another Florida man with a pretty secure Senate seat, trying to be Trump's #2.  (Rubio might be gutless, but he isn't out of his damn mind.) 

But the more I think about it the more I love it, because why not a fully Russia-endorsed ticket?  Just so you know where it's coming from. After all, how could being Trump's running mate ever have a downside?  And we all know Trump would accept any help he could get. In any form it comes. 

Why, as a unity ticket it out no-labels No Labels. Label it? You couldn't even speak its name! 

And as far as the RNC as a party has anything to say about it--as a wise candidate once asked "WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?" And the answer is--you haven't anything left! Anything goes! 

And back to Trump's legal fees, it isn't like some of them are completely frivolous or draw attention to his VERY STRONG unfavorables with, say, women voters? 

Like, whenever has Trump's legal wrangles ever cost anyone a whole lot of money? 

Has anyone ever suggested that if it looks bad, maybe it is bad? Just asking!
