GOP fundraiser at Trump property in New Jersey actually loses money
By Eric Boehlert - April 23, 20183984

Need to lose money in NJ? Throw a fundraiser at a Trump property featuring a Fox News speaker.

New Jersey Republicans, already on the precipice of election doom come November, made the fatal mistake of combining Trump and Fox News for a recent fundraiser, and ended up paying for it.

Like so many GOP groups, the state’s Morris County Republican Party held a fundraiser at Trump National Golf Club this year, at the cost of $24,000. Trump properties across the country have been flooded with Republican money as organizations try to make ties to him.

New Jersey Republican also paid out $30,000 for Fox News host Greg Gutfeld to be the evening’s speaker. But the whole night turned out to be a bust, with Morris County Republicans ending the night $6,000 in the red.

Not sure about the source, but it is the second time I saw the story, but could not find a link to that story.

This makes me so very happy.

As a candidate for local office, this is beyond awesome. This means fewer resources for my opponents!

Meanwhile the GOP claims to be the fiscally responsible party... What a joke.
