Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel won her bid Friday to lead the GOP for two more years, prevailing in an election that highlighted fierce internal divisions that threaten to plague the party into the next presidential season.

McDaniel, whom Donald Trump tapped as RNC chair in 2016, won the the secret ballot vote 111 to 51. The high-profile election played out inside a luxury resort on the Southern California coast as the RNC’s 168 voting members – activists and elected officials from all 50 states – gathered for the committee’s annual winter meeting.

With the victory, McDaniel becomes the longest-serving RNC chair since the Civil War. Yet friends and foes alike agree that she will not be leading the RNC from a position of strength.

Now ,now dfw...you can’t assimilate Superman..or is it the armored warrior we so often see trump portrayed as...:)

Now it will be interesting to watch what the RNC does going forward insofar as candidate support, fund raising , elections at the state level. If they don’t do a better job of recruiting qualified candidates or do a better job of vetting candidates,(think Santos) then we will have a problem.

These people are being paid to lose, I’m sure of it. The question is, who is paying them, and why?

[hotsteppa]

The illusion of choice. Harmeet was also GOPe posing as not.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Did she get 81 million votes like the other slime ball?

Swamp wins again

The GOP is replete with capitulating cowards controlled by a hierarchy of self-serving scumbags

[Olog-hai]

What sidelines?

Making things up again, aren’t you.

[Olog-hai]

You have the view from behind the scenes?

[grimalkin]

Really grotesque.

[grimalkin]

I stopped supporting them years ago. No better than the dims... just nasty, opportunistic liars.

[GulliverSwift]

It was a contest between a failed RINO (Romney), a grifter (Dhillon), and a lunatic (Lindell).

No wonder Republicans lose.

Trump is a populist, not for limited government which is why he has no convictions. No convictions plus populism equals poor decision making processes such as appointing/endorsing people for example.

[truthkeeper]

Perhaps those mega-donors who refused to support McDaniel any longer will get together and organize a parallel, competing committee to sponsor genuine MAGA candidates. These candidates will have to sign guarantees of continued stated ideology before accessing funding.

This.

Did Dhillon and Lindell split the anti-McDaniel vote?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

F—k the GOP.

GOP = Get Out of Politics.
