    Going broke, or having all of their money embezzled by senior leadership?

        I don’t know why this phrase seems too long in Spanish. Isn’t there a shorter way to say it?

          In this particular case, you have two of the few words in English that are two separate words in Spanish by mere coincidence. I guess you could say “¿Por qué no ambos?” which is a literal translation but it sounds less colloquial.

    In Arizona, the state GOP has just $14,800 left in the bank at the end of August, as reported by the Arizona Mirror.

    They should be a lot more broke then that!

    Remember the faux election audit in AZ, the one that hired fucking “Cyber Ninjas” to do the work, the company that had zero experience doing so?

    Yeah that company was responsible for going over time and budget, grifting $6M from trump donors (good!), but also illegally corralling/storing/examining all of the largest county’s voting machines (bad!):

    Maricopa County also has sued the state to replace voting machines used in the audit, saying it would cost the county $2.8 million to replace the machines.

    And that’s just some of it. Here’s a good timeline of how fucked up the AZ senate made things, and at the end of it all, the GOP ignored the results.

    This American Life had a great episode on the turmoil in the Michigan Republican Party.

    After getting their ass kicked in 2022 for running on election conspiracy theories, they doubled down, electing an election denier that thought donors were sitting on the sideline because they weren’t denying the election enough.

      According to the article, one reason for the lack of money is wealthy donors no longer supporting the Republicans due to the crazy maga stuff. So they can’t count on billionaires any more.

    Did Trump siphon off all donations or have the donor class abandoned Republicans?

      The MAGA crowd has taken over, so they will just put the money in their own SuperPACs and candidate committees rather than risk it on crazy. But they will still support Republicans.

      This was my first thought. How do you get people on the fence about donating to donate? Tell them their party is so broke that your $100 will actually make a significant difference

      Actually, I’m more concerned with this state driving these people to make hasty deals with foreign states, large corporations, etc. If I’m right, we’ll see a lot more money funnel in from PACs all of a sudden.

      More likely that they relied on thousands of small donors at the state level, but those small donors are all giving directly to Trump instead of to the GOP as a whole.
