As more than 40 subdued Republican senators lunched on Chick-fil-A at a closed-door session last week, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) painted a dire picture for his colleagues. Campaign fund-raising was drying up, he said, because of the widespread disappointment among donors over the inability of the Republican Senate to repeal the Affordable Care Act or do much of anything else, the New York Times reports.
Mr. Gardner is in charge of his partys midterm re-election push, and he warned that donors of all stripes were refusing to contribute another penny until the struggling majority produced some concrete results.
Said Gardner: Donors are furious. We havent kept our promise.

Right now, they're probably mulling the effectiveness of public beheadings.

(5,547 posts)That their platitudes are supported by 51% of the Country but their policies are only supported by 35%.
All those talking points might sound good to centrist but they end up being appalled when the details get filled in.
Now if we can only get those centrists to see through the BS up front.
