That's not at all a way to get the money to him more directly.

Interesting. FYI for people, this isn't to abandon Michael Whately. The RNC requires one female and one male co-chair. Lara Trump also is a really good fundraiser. So there's definitely some sense to it especially since there's a dearth of really impressive state GOP chairwomen.

So why have I been led to believe for the past however-many years that there is a single chairperson of the Republican National Committee? (McDaniel; Priebus; Steele; don't remember any of those pre-2008, sorry.)

Family members are the only people Trump thinks he can trust. The next step is following Azerbaijan and picking a family member for Vice President.

It seems one of them is in charge. So McDaniel is the boss but there’s a co chair. Weird, right? But I can’t tell if there’s a different title. It seems whoever is in charge is the chairman, but there is a co chair of the opposite gender.

Sounds pretty woke

Lara Trump is a bad pick, but co chair is relatively pointless anyway.

I'd like to take a step back and point out how absurd and shameful this is for the Republicans. We all know Donald Trump is a complete POS, even if people on the right are generally reluctant to admit it openly.

But here we have something well beyond Donald Trump being human waste. We have a many-times-disgraced ex-President, who in only four years destroyed a trifecta that he wasted, who lost his re-election campaign and is currently facing 91 criminal charges across the country, presuming he gets to dictate leadership decisions of a national political party.

How humiliating must it be, to be a Republican, and know that your party - the party that is supposed to represent your interests, and those of Republicans all across the United States, is nothing but a transparent vehicle for a crooked orange clown to inflate his ego and pay the bills he can't or won't, to keep himself out of prison for a little bit longer.

As someone who supports the Democratic Party, this is great news. Between the grift and looting, the focus on Donald to the extent of all else, and backing MAGATs candidate in contested primaries, the amount of downballot damage Trump's hand-picked crew will do to the GOP is going to be immense. Unless the GOP comes to its senses (I jest - we all know that's not going to happen) the Democrats can probably hold the Senate now, and their House margin will be larger.

But as an American, this is just sad, disgusting and pathetic. Our two-party system is deeply flawed, but to work at all, it needs two political parties, not one party and one cult worshiping a vile clown. And yet, that's what the GOP has turned itself into. Will it ever have an actual platform again, or will it continue to have just a loyalty pledge so blatant as to make the Workers' Party of Korea blush with shame?

[Duke 🇺🇸]

They may as well put Don Jr. and Laura in charge of the party so we can no longer hide that the RNC is now just an extension of the Trump organization

We the Cadres of the Republican Party must ceaselessly strive to uphold the revolutionary virtues of the Mar-A-Lago Bloodline!

Trump’s RNC Takeover Is on the Brink of Becoming a ‘Purge’

First came the internal grumbling about Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.

Then came McDaniel’s decision to step down from her post at the end of February as she lost the support of Donald Trump.

After that came Trump’s move to put forward a slate of loyalists to take over the party’s top spots—including an election-denying state party chair, a Trump campaign senior adviser, and the former president’s own daughter-in-law.

Next could come the purge.

“I think within 30 days you’ll see a purge of staffers from the RNC, because it’s a hotbed for anti-Trumpism,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist and host of the War Room podcast told The Daily Beast. “That’s the open secret.”

Oh no. Please, Republicans, don't ditch all your experienced political hands and replace them with Trump loyalists. And absolutely, don't channel every single penny from the RNC to Trump's campaign. What chance would the Democrats possibly have then? I'm sure the DNC is quaking in its shoes at the mere possibility of this brilliant strategy being implemented.

The best news Democrats have had all year, including NY-03.

[President Johnson]

That's not at all a way to get the money to him more directly.

It's what Republicans deserve at this point. He'll leave the party broke and gutted of all remaining policy principles.

[DrScholl]

Arizona is a good example of what happens when the party committee is taken over by incompetent people. Down ballot Republicans will suffer for this the most because with Trump taking up all the money and resources they will have to pick up a lot of slack that the RNC drops.

They have no remaining policy principles. Pretending otherwise is to ignore reality. The GOP sold its soul and pledged itself to Donald years ago. They are not coming back from that.

Replace Mao with Trump and you have the Republican Party platform right here.

The "Republicans" are very close to that already. Here's their 2020 "platform":

RESOLVED, That the Republican Party has and will continue to enthusiastically support the President’s America-first agenda;
RESOLVED, That the 2020 Republican National Convention will adjourn without adopting a new platform until the 2024 Republican National Convention;
RESOLVED, That the 2020 Republican National Convention calls on the media to engage in accurate and unbiased reporting, especially as it relates to the strong support of the RNC for President Trump and his Administration; and
RESOLVED, That any motion to amend the 2016 Platform or to adopt a new platform, including any motion to suspend the procedures that will allow doing so, will be ruled out of order.

The same 2016 platform that attacked the incumbent president. They were so lazy that they didn’t even update that reference. So their platform was attacking themselves come 2020. 🤦‍♂️

Nepotism at its finest. But if Arizona is their national role model, then good luck on winning in swing states where they'll need crucial resources. Relying on Biden's poor polling won't help them forever.
