As the geography narrows before us, it is important to remember the stakes and avoid the distractions. As a consequence, the baseline must be reaffirmed. It is critical to understand that both the DNC and RNC are private corporations with no affiliation to government.
It is a difficult shift in thinking, but the party system in U.S. politics revolves around two distinct private corporations – two clubs that feed from the same corporate trough and position for influence and affluence within a political dynamic they control.
The priority for both clubs, Republican and Democrat, is NOT politically or culturally ideological. In the modern era, the corporate priority first begins with a battle over who controls each corporation.
As long as there is no challenge, the clubs operate without issue. However, when there is a battle for control of the corporation, a battle that will ultimately determine the financial outcome, the internal battle becomes the priority.
2024 is going to be the election season when we see this corporate battle explode inside in the Republican group. Decades of entrenched power are at stake, and there has been four years of counter positioning and backroom discussion leading up to this moment.
As a consequence, and I know this might sound odd to many people – but winning and/or losing elections becomes a secondary issue. The RNC is not focused on winning elections. The RNC corporation is focused on retaining control.
The RNC want to give the illusion of support for MAGA conservatism because they need the base voter, and they need to maintain the illusion of choice. However, every move they make on an operational level is exactly in line with their previous outlook toward cocktail class republicanism. The MAGA base of support cannot trust this corporate group, and we must not...

Trump upset their applecart, and they hate him for it.
Leaked audio has emerged from the DeSantis donor strategy meeting in Miami on Thursday...DeSantis strategists tell high dollar donors making calls for the campaign that:
The Governor will shift to the middle during a general election
I like Ron, but he needs to wait until 2028, and get a new team.
By then, the non-Trumper backers in his campaign will be throwing their support in 2028 to Chris Christie.
DeSantis should go ahead and run now. The Democrats are in disarray on a candidate, and Trump is a “Democrat Light.”
Besides, the Trump disciples will all say it’s Don Jr’s turn in 2028, anyway. According to them America can’t survive without the Trumps.
Trump is already in the middle, so he will be moving to the FAR left in the general if he gets the nomination.
Trump is the one attacking DeSantis from the LEFT.
—> Trump is already in the middle
Smart strategery - agree!
Trump is the lone voice for America First.
DeSantis doesn’t even know what the word Nationalism means, he only knows it must be eradicated.
Conservatism without Nationalism is like Faith without Works.
Why wait? Seriously, time is right, Trump won’t win, might have poll numbers but is burning everyone right and left.
Trump America First was talk, not much action. H1B increased, deportations languished, etc.
Epperson Murdoch apparently told DeSantis that Fox will back him. That tells you what you need to know.
Trump is fighting for Disney, Bud Light, trannies in bathrooms, gun control, and Obama's Dreamers.
DeSantis is the one actually advancing conservatism.
DeSantis overloaded the Twitter servers and still set a fundraising record for the first day of a Presidential announcement, most of which came from small donations.
Apparently it took Trump six (6) weeks to get as much money for his campaign after he announced as DeSantis received in his first 24 hours.
Had Trump crashed Twitter due to overload and broken fundraising records you would be here telling us how all powerful it proves Trump is.
And what was Trump’s response to DeSantis tremendous opening day?
He hilariously, and ridiculously, tried to claim that Mario Coumo did a better job in NY on COVID than DeSantis did in Florida!
How delusional is THAT! Guy appears to have lost his marbles over his DeSantis obsession.
100%
Being an advocate for gay marriage, GMO foods, mRNA injections, runaway spending, and 15 minute cites is NOT America First. It's the WEF plan, clearly.
I still recall when we stopped watching fox...Election night when those screw worms called it for Biden way early...That was it for us.
Paranoid Personality Disorder. Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a mental health condition marked by a pattern of distrust and suspicion of others without adequate reason to be suspicious. People with PPD are always on guard, believing that others are constantly trying to demean, harm or threaten them.
Sums things up well: The people in control of Republican Club do not care who is in the White House – that is a secondary objective. What they care about right now is controlling the Republican corporation and stopping the hostile takeover.
