Why are people opposed to McDaniel? Trump was fine with her and he is in the best position to know
How many times does Mitt Romney’s niece have to prove she’s a failure as chair, before they wise up and replace her?
“WAS” is the operative word.
He did not endorse her this time—he stayed out of race.
This is one reason: How RNC Policy Lost a Winnable House Seat
The RNC is responsible for two technology platforms that it makes available to state parties and campaigns: voter data, which is managed by their designated vendor, Data Trust, and online fundraising, which is managed by another designated vendor, WinRed.
It became clear to me that the primary goal of Data Trust and WinRed isn’t to help Republicans at all but to enrich RNC-connected consultants.
The RNC’s designated door-to-door app, Campaign Sidekick, is also a failure.
The RNC’s designated payment processor, WinRed, is a for-profit company that built its platform on top of another for-profit payment processor, Stripe. All of that profit means high fees on campaign donations of nearly 4 percent.
It gets worse. Stripe is a woke tech firm based in San Francisco. In the 2022 election cycle, of the $392,000 that Stripe employees donated to federal candidates and PACs, 98 percent went to Democrats while just 2 percent went to Republicans.
The danger of building the party’s fundraising platform on a payment processor openly hostile to us was made abundantly clear when Stripe shut down President Trump’s WinRed account, cutting off his ability to raise money to fight his legal battles in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Stripe shut down Trump’s WinRed account because, according to the firm, he was “inciting violence” with his rhetoric. But according to leftists like the employees who run Stripe, all Republican policies incite violence against homosexuals, minorities, immigrants, women, etc., thus no Republican is safe from having his or her finances cut off with no notice from these left-wing Big Tech extremists.
And what did the RNC do in response to their own payment processor shutting down President Trump’s account?
Absolutely nothing. Stripe remains in place under WinRed, growing ever richer with each Republican donation and using that money to help fund Democrats.
If you think that taking more than twice the standard card processing fee was excessive, hold on to your hat.
An average of 90 percent of most contributions prompted by emails and texts that are processed by WinRed goes not to the campaign the donor believes they are supporting but instead to fundraising consultants. This “RevShare” mechanism is built into WinRed and delivers the consultant’s cut instantly without the donor ever knowing—on top of the 4 percent that WinRed collects.
When I raised these issues to the current chairman, Ronna McDaniel, at the RNC winter meeting two years ago, she responded by ignoring me and telling a closed-door meeting of the RNC members that everything was fine.
You have not been paying attention.
> “Why are people opposed to McDaniel?”
Same reason they were opposed to Bush, Cheney, Romney, Ryan .....
Listening to McDaniel is nauseating. She’s a Me! Me! ME! who will pay consultant’s mucho cashola when they agree with her Me-Me-ness. Of course, the cash is coming from those who are circulating it from others through her Me-ness back to themselves.
She has poor leadership skills, but she keeps the grift going.
Her track record is dismal.
I don’t think she has the IQ to know how to break out of it. By contrast, Harmeet has the smarts in spades, but Harmeet doesn’t have the grift club membership.
Is Ronna a good person? She probably is, I think it’s highly probable she is. She’s just not the right General to face the Antufa Left. She’s apparently learned how to pay off grifters, but that’s about it.
President Trump is and has always been a practical person who knows that ‘perfect’ people do not exist.
All President Trump wants is for people to get to work to stop the Democrat cheating followed by making America great again.
President Trump’s Chief Spokesperson Liz Harrington said it perfectly regarding Ronna McDaniel that we hope, like McCarthy, the RNC Chair will follow through with the message of the grass roots.
Some of the RNC “187” were hostile to Charlie Kirk and others at the RNC Chair election saying the grass roots were WRONG! That “they” were right, that Americans listened to the wrong people like Bannon, Kirk, Wayne Allen Root, others.
The Grift controls ..... sickening.
When you see the Paul Ryan Republicans strutting around thinking they own the place, it’s sad, very sad. Ronna is their girl.
President Trump not only has to put up with criminal Democrats, but also corrupt Republicans. As head of the GOP, he has to stomach some real sickos. Ronna doesn’t help, but what can he do?
Personally, I mix with Independents that fund true conservatives, don’t care about party affiliation.
Could the same be said for Christopher Wray, Barr, Pence, Bolton, Milley etc?
How about because she’s a f’n do-nothing backstabbing Romney?
Seems Trump ain’t so bright.
