Fellow Conservatives:
We have just learned that the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spent $175,000 on automated phone calls and media production to help Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS) defeat conservative Chris McDaniel (R-MS) in tomorrow’s Republican primary runoff election.
The NRSC has been open about its support for Cochran but this is the first time they have spent the party’s money in the race. This is a major development that takes the NRSC back to the days when it actively supported Arlen Specter against Pat Toomey and Charlie Crist against Marco Rubio.
The NRSC spending in Mississippi comes after polls show Chris McDaniel in the lead over Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS). And it is the first independent expenditure made by the NRSC in any race for the 2014 election cycle.
Why would the NRSC spend money in a primary where RNC Chairman Reince Priebus says the outcome will not impact the balance of power in the Senate?
Why would the NRSC spend money on a seat the party already controls when it could spend it on a seat it could take away from the Democrats?
The NRSC says its only goal is to win a majority, but that isn’t true. If it were, they would not be wasting money in a red state primary like Mississippi.

I am inundated with mailings from Congress and Senate campaign committees. I toss them all in the recycle, have for years.
Here is the problem. The party has a continual, desperate need for money, because they have a permanent staff of 125 and a fixed cost of $38 million per year before spending one dollar on any campaign.
Before I will contribute, Republican Party needs to stay out of the party’s primary elections. And build the southern border wall. All of it, from end to end.

Gee-whiz: who is head of this NRSC?
This truly shows that the head of the (R) Party is NOT patriotic! Probably a group of RINOS!!
