circle the wagons to protect their cash cow and force Trump out. Trumps days as President are numbered.

But I like the NRA may go away, for good. YAY for that!

(10,116 posts)The GOP cares as much about gun rights as they do about abortion rights as they do about religious freedom-if it keeps them in power and brings voters to the polls, they will pander as much as necessary as long as they can continue to enrich themselves.

(37,748 posts)The NRA took in $128 million in membership dues in 2017, a significant drop from its $163 million figure in 2016, and it reported just $98 million in contributions in 2017 after receiving $125 million in 2016.
Then realize that nearly one-fifth of its contributions last year came from a single (Угадай кто?) anonymous donor, who chipped in nearly $19 million to the group.
Projecting this rate of loss into the immediate future, they're now simply an organizational dinosaur looking at a meteor four years away wondering, "what's that...?"

(6,412 posts)The NRA is a brand, like Sears. But unlike Sears, it doesn't profit from success. Aside from questionable donations, Republican governments hurts their revenue. Why subscribe to the NRA when you have gun humpers controlling every part of the government?
Now someone with enough intellect would say "keep donating to keep it that way"....but the NRA doesn't have a base that thinks that far ahead. So, its a feast or famine type of entity. They NEED at least two branches of government in opposition to their agenda to get funding. Ironically, their business model works that way...when they have everything they want...they have less cash to pass out. When they have fear mongering on their side, they have plenty of cash to pass out.
It's like Rush Limbaugh's worst nightmare, everyone agrees with him...and then he's out of a job.
