I think just from a statistical perspective that if you were trying to find 16-18 Americans totally disconnected from Trump and national politics one of the easiest places to look would be NYC.Day 2 of the trial, and they actually managed to find six people to be jurors. I was honestly skeptical they would find anyone without a firm opinion on Trump already.
In a letter received by Republican digital vendors this week, the Trump campaign is asking for down-ballot candidates who use his name, image and likeness in fundraising appeals to give at least 5 percent of the proceeds to the campaign.
“Beginning tomorrow, we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC. This includes but is not limited to sending to the house file, prospecting vendors, and advertising,” Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote in the letter, which is dated April 15.
They add: “Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump’s campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”
Pulling out both the carrot AND stick.The letter warns that “Any vendor whose clients ignore the guidelines mentioned above will be held responsible for their clients’ actions,” and that “Repeated violations will result in the suspension of business relationships between the vendor and Trump National Committee JFC. This includes list rental agreements.”
"JFC" is right.“Beginning tomorrow, we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC."

Wow. Just.....wow.
Guaranteed press presence.As far as I can tell, his motives weren't even Trump related, so that's an odd choice of venue for self-immolation.
Fair point!Guaranteed press presence.
