As the NRA implodes under a heap of scandal, President Donald Trump’s campaign staff and allies worry that the reelection effort will suffer without the gun group’s impressive reach and turnout abilities.
According to Politico, team Trump is afraid that the hobbled organization will be unable to mobilize its millions of members, especially in Rust Belt states.
The NRA, weakened by internal fighting, ousters and investigations, is being roiled by turmoil at the same time that the Koch network and the Chamber of Commerce have taken a step back from their once robust role in the election of conservatives.
“No organization has been more important to conservative voter education and engagement than the NRA. We all hope they’re able to mount the kind of effort in the 2020 cycle they have in the past,” Gregg Keller, a former American Conservative Union executive director, told Politico. “But in case they can’t, given their current situation, I hope they’re being forthright about that within the movement so others can pick up the slack.”
“The situation has folks nervous.”
NRA? Turnout?
He’s got other NRA problems also…
“No organization has been more important to conservative voter education and engagement than the NRA." Please substitute indoctrination and fear-mongering for “education and engagement” to get to what the NRA has been up to since the gun lobby took it over.
I’m sure Putin and his Russian pals will come to the rescue of the Tiny Penis Club!
Trump will have to rely on evangelical orgs to get the vote out. I think they’ll find that the religious right are not the powerhouse they were in the 90s through 04.
