RGA Statement on Kari Lake’s Primary Victory


Great lip service.

But spread out the wealth a little.

You know they're not at all worried about Ron when they constantly make these passive aggressive threads.

Yet they'll immediately go on to say how they can't wait to vote for Ron in 2028. It's always been about support for the man, not the idea. Still is.

Exactly.

Ron did not need the money. Kari did.

Trump went head to head with the establishment and raised a lot of money. It was on him to spend it on candidates he wanted to win.

He decided to save it for himself and it probably will cost him the nomination.



1st, you are lying about Trump saving it for himself. Has been shown over and over.

2nd, it does not absolve what the organizations under the GOP hat are obligated to do. Period.

This is my source:

Your source is wrong. RGA spent $11MM in AZ in support of Lake. That's 60% more than the spent on DeSantis on a per capita basis.

You know the primary was against other Republicans, right?

A statement is not backing with funds.

In almost all these "Ron versus" threads I talk about borders, trade and war. I keep bringing up these issues. Everyone on this board are probably sick of reading them. This is not about "support for the man". At least not for me.

Give me a candidate that is soft around the edges, can win the Midwest wine mom vote and has Trump's record on borders, trade and war and they have my vote.

JFC - you guys are as bad as Leftists.

What part of them spending $11MM in support of Lake, which is 60% more than they did DeSantis on a per capita basis, are you not understanding?

Seriously, do you understand English?

Expecting Trump to take the place of GOP PACs is ridiculous.

This reflects very poorly on the RGA and people should evaluate this when deciding whether to give money again.

Fair enough. I guess transparencyusa.org is not up to date.

Or they're just gaslighting the frick out of people susceptible to a certain narrative?

I don't know anything about transparencyusa, but this information is all over the f'n press. RGA accounted for the vast majority of all Lake campaign dollars. It was a news item here, that Lake was mostly supported by "outsiders" and that Ducey, who's no big fan of Lake's, had greased the wheels from the RGA.

"Democrat Katie Hobbs has more money in donations than Republican Kari Lake in the race for governor. But that difference is being made up by more than $6 million spent by outside groups independently advocating for Hobbs’ defeat.

And most of that is coming from the Republican Governors Association. It is led by current Gov. Doug Ducey, who has distanced himself personally from his would-be successor, a perpetual critic of Ducey on the campaign trail.

Hobbs had collected more than $9.6 million into her own campaign, new figures filed with the state by the Saturday deadline show. Her expenditures in the report, which covers everything through the end of September, exceeded $8.3 million.

By contrast, Lake had collected nearly $7.4 million, with $5.5 million in expenses.

The real money being spent on Lake’s behalf, however, is that cash from outside groups, led by the Republican Governors Association."

Who could that be in 2024 though except Trump? No governor will ever have to worry about war same as trade. Governors, not Senators are out there negotiating trade deals. If you don’t live on the border a governor won’t have an actual record on that. If Trump wasn’t running in 2024 who fits that bill for you? It’s an impossible ask if that’s your criteria.
