The Iowa caucuses are seven weeks from today. While AFP Action says it will deploy ā€œthe largest grassroots operation in the country and a presence in all fifty statesā€ behind Haley, itā€™s hard to imagine her beating Trump. It feels like another exercise in political delusion: a powerful mainstream Republican force pretending Trump doesnā€™t control the party.

Thereā€™s also deep irony here. As the major financial and political force behind the reactionary, anti-Obama Tea Party movement, AFP helped create Trump, the man it is now trying to defeat.

    I admit I assume itā€™s a scam attempt. No way in hell Iā€™m clicking that link or going to that website. Report spam and delete.

    If it is real, they need to do much better, not that it will matter to me.

      Part of me hopes itā€™s real.

      ā€œHey boss, Iā€™ve figured out exactly what we need to do to get our supporters to give us money! Itā€™s something they fall for every day already!ā€
