RNC to GOP Candidates: Fealty to Donald Trump or Else (Caruso)

   Normally this is where I post TTIUWP and do an image of a cockroach or a 'Lower than a snakes belly in a Wagon Rut' meme but I decided it's way to early to get in trouble here so this is all I could come up with.

Memo to RNC: let's leave the loyalty pledges to quasi-religious cults and psychotic dictators, shall we?

During the early Bush (shrub) years the GOP had free rein to undo much of the Democratic madness that occurred during Clinton.  But instead they chose to spend like drunken sailors.

What followed shortly thereafter was a coup for the Democrats when many Republican voters simply stayed home on election day.  I remember well Nancy Pelosi's declaration right after the elections that Democrats now had their mandate.  It wasn't true, of course, but the remainder of Bush's term was what the media deemed "compromise" but was in reality nothing but Clinton Part Deux.

Put another way, those in charge of Washington have been:

Clinton Presidency - Liberals
Bush II Presidency - Liberals
Obama Presidency - Liberals
Trump Presidency - Liberals

I detect a pattern here.

We can 'help' the RNC by not making any donations.  NONE

The RNC is as likely to get donations from me as Planned Parenthood, Earth First, and the SPLC.

(I haven't sent them a dime in 20 years).

I voted for Trump (to avoid Her Heinous), but the next day I cut up my Republican Party card and told the people on the phone asking for dough I wouldn't be making any more contributions.
Not until the Republican Party starts nominating and supporting conservative candidates again.
The only way to hurt them is by denying them money.

All of my money for 2018 political contributions was spent last week in Spokane, at the Gonzaga Campus store: t-shirts, memorabilia, etc. plus basketball camp fees for my son...all in all, a much better use.

The entire family will now  be decked out in Zag gear next season.

Edited last sentence...not replaced by now...sheesh.

Too bad about the tournament.  How do they look this year?

We gave a little to the RNC in the past, but it's been quite a while.  Tec Cruz was the only candidate we've given money to, and he was the last.  If he runs again I'll be happy to vote for him, but no more donations.

I'm very hopeful. We won't have the height and depth like last year, but we'll still be solid at the 4 & 5 positions. Half of our 8 man rotation returns, and our newcomers are stellar.

Here's a name to remember: Rui Hachimura. He didn't play much last year, due to late arrival and language issues. However, he led Japan in the FIBA tournament last month, scoring 19 points a game. He put on a show in one of the scrimmages at the Kennel.

The Zags will be the Zags. By that, I mean they're a complete team, no prima donnas. The kids loved being around them, and the players reciprocated. They stayed around almost two hours after camp closed, signing hundreds of autographs.

I'm so proud of these young men that represent my alma mater.
