Michigans Republican party is broke. Minnesotas was, until recently, down to $53.81 in the bank. And in Colorado, the GOP is facing eviction from its office this month because it cant make rent.
Around the nation, state Republican party apparatuses once bastions of competency that helped produce statehouse takeovers have become shells of their former machines amid infighting and a lack of organization.
Current and former officials at the heart of the matter blame twin forces for it: The rise of insurgent pro-Donald Trump activists capturing party leadership posts, combined with the ever-rising influence of super PACs.
It shouldnt surprise anybody that real people with real money the big donors who have historically funded the party apparatus dont want to invest in these clowns who have taken over and subsumed the Republican Party, said Jeff Timmer, the former executive director of the once-vaunted Michigan GOP and a senior adviser to the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.
