Nevada GOP group is so desperate for candidates they’re offering to pay people to run as Republicans

The Clark County Republican Party says it will pay for Nevada residents to run for public office, due to the lack of conservative candidates in several districts.

“As I’m sure you’re aware, candidate filing is about to close and we’re still short on candidates in many senate and assembly races,” the organization wrote in an email to donors and supporters Friday, which was signed by the CCRP E-board. “…To sweeten the pot, Clark Country Republican Party is willing to put up $1,500 to reimburse the filing fee for the first Republican to file in any of these districts.”

The districts listed in the email included Assembly Districts 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 34, and 42; and state Senate Districts 2, 10, and 21.

CCRP added, “Today is the final day. We must have the candidates file before 4 p.m. Filing ends at 4 p.m. The first to file in these districts gets reimbursed their filing fee. Hurry, this is the last day!”

1. Brand Messaging--"Republican"

Playbook, 101.2: To Shun

Seize the moment of opportunity to disparage the very words "Republican" and "conservative."

Every utterance of these words must be spoken with dripping disdain and disgust.

SHAME them at every turn. Drive them out.

2. reimburse...

lmfao, won't even pony up the money up front.

6. They're worried that people would pocket the money and then not file.

In other words, the state GOP believes that Republicans are grifters. Who are we to disagree?

3. SHIT!

Sign up liberals! And run on a liberal platform! Of course you'll have to lie first....

4. Years ago, conservative families with traditions of public service

started backing away from what the GOP was becoming as Big Money took over. They were the mainstay of the GOP, the families that provided city councilmen, school board members, judges, convention delegates, state and federal representatives. They were unwilling to do what was being required to be elected to office, unwilling to do what was required once in office.

This makes me wonder if this understanding of the intense corruption of the Republican Party is finally becoming commonly known.
