Regarding the RNC chair vote in 2023:
Ronna McDaniel defeated Harmeet Dhillon, by a vote of 111 committee members to 51.
Those 111 state GOP members should be ashamed of themselves.
(Those 111 state GOP members should be ashamed of themselves.)
But they’re not! That’s the problem!
McConnell and McDaniel have been a disaster for the GOP. They have lined their pockets and left the RNC adrift.
State chairs don’t want a strong national chair. A strong national chair might break their rice bowls of ego and graft. They prefer a pliable milquetoast one. As far as they’re concerned the national chair exists for PR purpose only; a happy pretty face as the front marque of the GOP. The last chair worth a damn was Lee Atwater. I know many would disagree on this forum but I’ve always thought Newt Gingrich would be an effective chair. However that will never happen. Newt won’t do it an the state chairs wouldn’t put up with it.
I wrote my state committe members asking them to vote against her because of the profligate spending on stupid items. I did not get a single reply.
These 111 are all Mitch’s b!tches and Milt’s kilts.
