Playbook: “A Democratic source recently complained to us about what some see as swampy self-promotion over at the NRCC: According to recent FEC filings, the GOP committee has spent more than $75,000 on bulk book sales, stocking up on Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) Do What You Said You Would Do, and giving away copies as “donor mementos.”
“Even as the tactic isn’t new, from where we sit, it’s surprising for another reason: Once upon a time, a half-decade ago, Jordan and the NRCC were at war over strategy and candidates — not to mention his group, the Freedom Caucus’ habit of not paying NRCC dues. To see the party’s official campaign apparatus promoting Jordan’s book is still a shock to those of us who covered that era.”
