'''The Club for Growth''', nicknamed "Club for [[Chinese]] Growth" because of its support for phony [[free trade]] at the expense of [[American]] jobs, is a [[libertarian]]-leaning [[economic]] group funded by wealthy donors.  The organization has been known for endorsing and funding fiscally [[conservative]] candidates over moderates and [[Democrats]].  Club for Growth’s political action committee has been heavily involved in funding candidates who favor lowering taxes, and sometimes against [[Trump]]-endorsed "America First" candidates.

Rather than fund [[grassroots]] efforts, Club for Growth spends wastefully on often-negative advertisements that probably have virtually no effect on elections.  Its negative ads against a conservative, who then wins the primary anyway, can make it harder for the conservative to win the general election.
