During a series of desperate attempts to obfuscate and defend fellow lawyer Harmeet Dhillon, unfortunately Mike Davis joins the ranks of former Bannon Warroom members Matthew Tyrmand and Steve Cortes. It will be interesting to watch how Mr. Bannon responds to the latest sunlight upon his network of allies.
The issue started with Laura Loomer doing an excellent job exposing a scheme within the California GOP to change the delegate apportionments to proportional as a result of the state change in primary dates. California representative to the RNC, and former RNC Chairwoman candidate, Harmeet Dhillon then lied about the construct of a rules change. {GO DEEP}
Mrs Dhillon claimed the California changes forcing proportional allocation were not optional. Mrs. Dhillon claimed the ability of the CA GOP to maintain “winner take all” delegate allocation no longer existed. [below left] However, that claim is false. As reflected in RNC rule 3(ii) so long as the state keeps a “votes received” threshold above 50%, the delegates can be apportioned via winner-take-all. [below right]
The bottom line is really simple. Laura Loomer caught on to the California GOP constructing a plan to deliver a disproportionate delegate slate to Ron DeSantis, the presumed runner up amid a contest that President Trump is dominating.
The California GOP and members of the RNC then attacked Ms. Loomer, initially denying the reports, not knowing Loomer possessed leaked emails from the organizing team that included Harmeet Dhillon. Loomer then published the emails which highlighted the scheme, in response Dhillon lied saying the CA GOP “must also change a proportional method“, when the RNC rules [3(ii)] do not require that.
The truth is basic, like many states after seeing Trump at 50% or higher in the polling, the CA GOP wanted to have proportional distribution. Dhillon et al proposed a rule change supporting that proportional approach and ignored their ability under RNC rule 3(ii) to keep winner take all.
After the CA GOP were called out, things got interesting.
Suddenly, a group of MAGA affiliated entities like another attorney and Bannon Warroom frequent guest, Mike Davis, came to the defense of Harmeet Dhillon. Some GOP defenders even claiming that Mrs. Dhillon likely didn’t know the RNC rules, despite Mrs. Dhillon sitting on the RNC rules committee, running for RNC chair this year, and being the lead GOP representative from California to the RNC.
Mr Davis went on to claim that both himself and Mrs Dhillon were key advisors to President Trump, and it is would not make sense for Harmeet to do anything to undermine her client, Donald Trump. Some example Tweets below.
All of this ignores the core issue that Harmeet Dhillon lied in her excuse/justification for supporting a California proportional delegate rule change.
Accepting the claim that Mrs Dhillon and Mr Davis are advisors to President Trump, the question about why Trump wouldn’t challenge a rule seems a little silly.
First, the leaked emails show that Trump was not likely even aware of the scheme and proposed California plan; and second, if the people carrying out the plan are also -not coincidentally- advising President Trump, why would he challenge it/them.
Adding the rather lengthy background of Mrs. Dhillon into the foray, including her prior advocacy for notoriously corrupt Henry Barbour of the Mississippi clan and recent revelations of what might be considered profiteering as outlined by recent news reports, suffice to say the tendency of many to afford the RNC and Mrs. Dhillon the benefit of doubt is, well, shall we say, exhausted.
Indeed, if it had not been for the sunlight provided by Ms. Loomer and the leaker of the plan, the California GOP would have likely proceeded without anyone even knowing about the issue. That purposefully hidden context puts a rather dubious hue on the entire plan of the insiders including Dhillon.
And that’s where the context of other RNC officials coming to the rapid response defense of Dhillon becomes more revealing. As noted in the response from Arizona National RNC Committeeman and Turning Point Action Chief Operating Officer, Tyler Bowyer.
Plebes just need to keep their heads down, insert vote, pull lever, get pellet and go back to sleep.
Apparently, we are supposed to leave the work of deciding the candidate to the professionals in charge, after all the process is “super convoluted”. Unfortunately for Mr Bowyer the days of not challenging the powers that control the election outcomes are over.
It might frustrate the folks who gain influence and affluence from the business end of the U.S. political system, but We The People are annoyingly awake.
Please hurry they might be bankrupt before long and the pillows might become collectors items
“Thanks for reminding me that I got to get a My Pillow. :)”
I don’t know if you’re kidding or not, but I have to chime in and say that since I started using one I no longer wake up with headaches. Just FWIW...
I’m not trying to distract from anything I’m giving my opinion based on prior experience, Trump has been terrible about personnel decisions his administration was kneecaped by people who undermined him and often times he replaced them with someone worse
Bill Barr replacing Jeff Sessions from bad to worse
James Comey with Chris Wray from horrendous to beyond horrendous
It’s probably a good the Josef Mengele was already dead and couldn’t replace Anthony Fauci
“Since Cortes left, Mike Davis is the best guest host that WarRoom still has left.”
Since Cortes left I no longer fall asleep watching War Room. He’s more soporific than a cup of Sleepytime Tea washing down a monster melatonin pill.
2024 will be the end of Trump one way or the other, after that the MAGA movement will be dead unless the Trump supporters come to the realization the MAGA movement needs to be bigger than one person which unfortunately won’t happen
LOL...as if you have any say/authority about what DJT and MAGA should do.
Thanks for the laugh, Señor.
Exactly.
And, he’s even admitted what a YUGE mountain his paymaster’s guy, DeSwampus, has to climb.
Henry Barbour.
Enough said.
;-)
I just saw a local outlet for My Pillow about a month ago. :)
I bought a set of king size My Pillows for myself and all my family members for Christmas two years ago. Everyone said they loved them, and I didn’t even have to ask.
I’m also a big fan of his MyStore.com of all American goods and wish we saw other Americans setting up similar things as well.
I also watch Lindell TV more than RAV any more, especially since you get that last hour of WarRoom every day that RAV cuts off.
WarRoom is the hallmark of Trump supporting shows, and they’ve already lost Cortes, now Davis and frequent new guest Loomer are infighting. Those are definite cracks in the seams.
LOL....as if you have any say/authority of my offering opinions on a Discussion Forum...
Thanks for the laugh, Senor
“Sundance attacking Mike Davis support of Harmeet in the face of nutcase Loomer’s attacks is more than my poor mind can fathom.”
Well, is the RNC in California lying about the Republican rules? If so, it doesn’t really matter if she is a nutcase, does it?
I think Bannon tried to stretch things too far. It’s gone from Battleground to Pandemic to Infomercial. It appears that all the staff and travel has him stretched thin.
He spends more time interrupting his guest and repeating himself than ever before.
Now every other ‘guest’ is hawking some product under the guise of an interview. It’s almost unwatchable.
I have begun recording the show so I can fast forward the useless noise. It’s gone from 2 hours to about 40 minutes.
I’ve said for a couple of months that RAV is one long infomercial.
Now I wait until War Room is over and then watch on Rumble. It’s broken into segments and I can watch who/what I care about.

Didn’t bother reading the article did you?
How original.
Not.
Not surprising, either.
That’s pilitics.
Prove me wrong.
I detest these people.
