Is this a new defiance against Donald Trump by the GOP? Or a clever marketing ploy by Trump and his team? Over the weekend, Trump’s attorneys sent a cease-and-desist order to the RNC over their use of Trump’s name in their fundraising efforts. Their predictable response all but guarantees the party will continue to build its brand around Trump’s: The Republican National Committee is denying a cease-and-desist demand from Donald Trump’s attorneys, who asked the party organization to stop using the former president’s name and likeness in fundraising appeals.

The RNC is rotten to the core as bad as the DNC. I hope Trump goes to all out war against them too.

If the RNC supported Trump's principles, it would be ok maybe. By supporting I mean actually working to implement them. We are risking the loss of the country as we knew it here.

I would suggest this is unenforceable. Let's suppose Biden or Obama got such an order against the RNC...could they be banned from using their name or likeness in fundraising? How about innumerous Facebook and Twitter posters? FPDT is a public figure, a political figure. He's not He Who Must Not Be Named. Let's watch the injunction-seeking fly...

If their arrogance and defiance translated into cash, they wouldn't need donors. Gonna be fun supporting Trump's all out war on the RNC. You asked for it kiddies, you are going to get it in buckets. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Also known as Trump, the Godzilla of MAGA.

In other words, they can't raise money without invoking the name of the POTUS they betrayed.

Never donate to the RNC. Ever. They have done more to squash conservatives, led by Rove and Mitch than anyone.

The Republi-Can't Party finally grows a spine, and uses it to commit suicide!!!!!
And hopefully this will be the final straw that convinces President Trump that the GOP is not his friend, and he will finally start a new conservative party that will banish the Republi-Can'ts to the dustbin of history!!!!

Coincidentally, today I had a big, slickly-produced, deceptively labeled mailing from the RNC. It was a plea for funds disguised as a survey. It had a postage paid return envelope. So I returned the donation- less form along with a short note outlining my thoughts on the RNC. Hope they take me off their list.

No worries. I read the fine print at the bottom of fundraising letters. RNC, NRSC and National House Republicans haven't received money from our coffers for years. Trump's name and image won't change our resolve. We'll only donate to individual candidates and Trump's PAC.

Bingo, #5! You hit the nail on the head. Do not donate a dime to the RNC.

#8 and anyone else who gets their mail: Fill the return, postage paid envelope with advertising from whatever you got in the mail that day, or save it for a few days to use, seal the envelope and return to them. They have to pay the postage. The heavier, the better.

I have to admit that I enjoy reading emails from republican persons and entities. They now have even stated that they are "begging" for support. Even RINOs like Nikki Haley are busy fundraising. Poster 5 is correct. They soiled their bed and want Trump and his supporters to pay to have the sheets laundered.

Whose name is the RNC supposed to use? Kasich? Romney? Jeb (!)(?)
Nikki Haley?
I loathe Republicans in general. I just loathe Democrats more.

#3, just by DT saying this, means the RNC will receive a lot less money from concerned Conservatives. I believe that was the intent of DT, and it will work. I am sure the RNC will continue to receive plenty of money from Moderate Republicans and Moderate Democrats.
