The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s newly minted Donald Trump koozies are being hocked to fundraise on behalf of their slate of Senate candidates for 2016, including Senate candidate Joe Heck. This is the second time in two weeks that the NRSC’s Trump strategy has been revealed. Last week, a leaked confidential NRSC memo detailed instructions to Senate incumbents and candidates on implementing Trump-like strategies for their 2016 campaigns. Trump called the NRSC candidate guide a “compliment.”
“Donald Trump’s hateful, divisive rhetoric and policies are as un-American as they are incendiary. Fundraising on Trump’s hate speech to elect Joe Heck is desperate and outrageous. Rep. Heck has already agreed with Trump that ending birthright citizenship should ‘be part of the discussion’ on immigration. Trump and Rep. Heck’s policies would hurt the Silver State. Their agenda would make it harder for Nevadans to get a quality education, crush women’s access to healthcare, and take away insurance coverage for children of low income families,” said Jessica Mackler, president of American Bridge 21st Century. “Just like the NRSC koozie says, Rep. Heck’s policies show he’s ‘with Trump.'”
