NRSC funds had reportedly reached $173 million this election cycle but were already down to $28.4 million by the end of June.
The committee spent more than $12 million on American Express credit card payments with an unclear purpose, along with $13 million for consultants and $9 million on debt payments, the Post said.
Now, a number of Republican candidates are struggling to raise money ahead of the general elections in November.
“It’s surprising and says a lot about the Republican brand that their candidates have struggled to raise money,” J.B. Poersch, the president of the Democratic-allied Senate Majority PAC, told the Post.
“With extreme candidates and extreme positions, maybe Republican donors are finding these candidates are out of step with where they are,” he said. “Maybe voters are feeling the same way.”

Well, you see, Rick Scott was CEO of a company during a time when it committed the largest Medicare fraud in history. More than $500,000,000.00 in fact. Now you've made him head of the NRSC and all of the money is disappearing.

It's real mystery.

Wouldn’t be absolutely hilarious if the whole squad of political grifters that are republicans were grifted themselves?
Maybe dreams do come true.
That or Trump has been flushing and sucking up all that money for himself. Massive dumps!

No honor among thieves here, it seems.
