Jon Chait: "The Republican Party Gave Its Data to a White Nationalist."
What could go wrong?
Yes, this happened and it's going to be disastrous for the GOP going forward.
As we all know, the Republican National Committee, along with most of the party’s elected officials, decided to support Trump. They avoided the short-term damage of a party schism, but the long-term impact on the party is something that can only be hazily guessed at. Josh Green and Sasha Issenberg report on the plans that Steve Bannon and other members of the Trump inner circle have to transition their campaign into a white-nationalist media organization after the campaign.
It is difficult to overestimate what a nightmare this would pose to the regular GOP should it come to fruition. After its last election defeat, the RNC published an autopsy describing the need to rebuild the party’s standing with immigrant communities and social moderates. That effort collapsed, and a normal candidate would mean the party’s long-term demographic viability continues to slowly deteriorate. Trumpism is a movement that would radically accelerate this demographic emergency, by aggressively positioning the party as virulently nativist, racist, and sexist.
Green and Issenberg report that Trump and Bannon built their data operation almost from scratch, relying for its survival on cooperation from the RNC"

Is that any worse than giving National Security data to the entire planet?

Or taking in tens of millions of dollars from Sharia compliant Muslim countries that fund terror, and then approving weapons deals to those countries?

REALLY? This is the crap that they're trying to pedal now?
There is absolutely NOTHING in the article or the linked article that gives ANY hint of that kind of craptastic assumption.
Hell, just do a search on the " Bloomberg article and the word "White" : It shows up THREE times in the artilce.. "White House", White Voters, and White Liberals.
So to jump on this.. shame, shame, shame. I've seen dirty pool on both sides of the spectrum, but to join in on pass on this claim is ridiculous
(and yes, if you read the Bloomberg article it does say that they're trying to "suppress three voting groups'... which is very crappy journalistic writing for what the article actually does point out as fact).
This is horrible journalistic writing at it's best, and outright lies at it's worst

Or Bill Clinton giving Missile guidance technology to Red China, and letting a crashed Stealth bomber get removed from crash site and sent to Moscow without being destroyed first.
