Just another failure-by-inaction by the RNC chair.

He can join the RATS in the sewer and go down with the ship.

After he joined with the Republicans his house was broken into and suddenly there were 2 investigations into his finances. This sounds like self-preservation.

All with concern for his constituents throughout the process I'm sure.

So much SCUM and so little time to skim it.

Trust me, there are many of us in New York that are pushing hard for a constitutional convention. Bar that, this state’s ability to lead itself if stuck on stupid.
