RNC Document Mocks Donors, Plays on Fear

Politico has an Exclusive: RNC document mocks donors, plays on 'fear' "The Republican National Committee plans to raise money this election cycle through an aggressive campaign capitalizing on ‘fear’ of President Barack Obama and a promise to 'save the country from trending toward socialism.'

The strategy was detailed in a confidential party fundraising presentation, obtained by POLITICO, which also outlines how ‘ego-driven’ wealthy donors can be tapped with offers of access and ‘tchochkes.’"

The 72 page powerpoint presentation is a great example of a crappy powerpoint presentation. But of the course the relevant thing is there's no content there. Page 30 is most telling: What can you sell when do not have the White House, the House or the Senate...? Save the country from trending toward Socialism!" No actual ideas, just fear-mongering.

Page 70 calls out the Citzens United decision and states the "Significant holding: Access and Gratitude ≠ Corruption"
