While their elected people have generally sucked, it is odd that Trump gets to say who the leader of the GOP is.
How many GOP members are going to be pissed about this and what will they do about it? Boycott? Sabotage 2024?
That is of course if this news is truthful.
The Times cited “two people familiar with the plans.”
According to the Times. Ms. McDaniel will be replaced by Michael Whatley, chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, at Mr. Trump’s behest.
Party rules require an actual election of a new chair, but Mr. Trump’s hold on the party is so strong that his endorsement would make his choice an inevitability, the Times wrote.
Why is the Times referring to itself in the third person?
“While their elected people have generally sucked, it is odd that Trump gets to say who the leader of the GOP is.”
Once Trump is the nominee, he is head of the party. That’s how it’s generally been. He will be the standard bearer (in the real sense of the term) and will have significant sway in that position.
