It occurs to me that the town and county committee’s try to do quite a lot to support local candidates and races. But what exactly is it that the State party, via the Executive Committee and chairman, do for Republicans in the state, other than give them an excuse to eat popcorn?
They don’t raise anywhere near enough money to compete. As far as I can tell they don’t spend it all that wisely. They don’t appear to share it. They don’t win elections. To hear it from most of the candidates and local committee member’s I have ever spoken too they do very little in the way of local support, mailers, canvassing, help with special elections, particularly if you (or your candidate) are not exactly their cup of tea. And none of this is new.
The state (and even national) party invest more time toeing the lefts narratives to crush competition within itself than it does to promote and elect candidates, mostly–it appears–for fear that those principled upstarts will rise in influence and knock the current flock of buzzards of their sh*t wagon.
