I think you are assuming that the Republican leadership, and thus the controllers of party campaign funds, are Republicans. The party may have been hijacked by miscreants, and the “screw-ups” could be more intentional than they seem.

As someone said, “with Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?”

Like Charlie Brown hoping that Lucy will hold the football this one time, I’m tired of being disappointed. The Republicans just seem to have a knack for consistently screwing up a sure win.
