RINO! Supported losers like MCrory and Forrest, among so many others.
Bad choice. I hope they an finn someone else.
We would probably be better off with Michael Flatley as chair personn
“We would probably be better off with Michael Flatley as chair person”
Now THAT’S funny!
“Reading Whatley is Rona’s choice to succeed. If true, we are truly “The Stupid Party”. Where’s Dhillon?”
She would be my first choice. Harmeet is one tough lady who doesn’t put up with crap from anyone.
Looks like another RINO squish to me.
“...How can he possibly be clean of swampiness???”...”
One needs to know it to get rid of it. I choose to believe he is the man to get the job done. Donald trump has burnt fingers from some of his past personnel selections, but I believe he now knows who is needed and will be making good personnel selections this time around.
I agree...but I’ve seen people change. Benefit of the doubt is my starting point with anyone.
He sounds old. Can he make his own power point?

As a member of the Florida Recount Team, Michael fought to protect George W. Bush’s historically close win and then served President Bush as a Senior Official at the Department of Energy.
Michael got to see first-hand how important winning elections is for helping the citizens of North Carolina serving as Chief of Staff for Senator Elizabeth Dole.

Sounds like has some real experience unlike the two who ran before but had no chance, the lady who is a Fox News guest and the guy who is great at selling pillows
Same here. I’ve heard good things about him.
” Him working for Elizabeth friggin Dole didn’t impress me.”
Will read more but that does not impress me either.
Bannon pumping him up makes me feel a little better.
What has he done to improve this country over the last 4 decades? I see erosion of rights, government largess, endless wars, unsustainable debt, security risks, failing education system.
A Bush Wacker. NO.
He knows how to to win and beat Democrats. I like winning. That’s what we need the most right now.
The thing you have realize is Republicans may not be the solution to your problems of the last 40 years, but the CAUSE of your problems is most definitely the Democrats. Names who have been raised before have no experience whatsoever and were guaranteed losers.
The Swamp wing of the party.
Agreed, but honestly, who was there to work with during that time period that wasn’t a RINO establishment hack? The only person with bona fides was Jesse Helms and he was already gone. Miss ol’ Jesse
What church? If it’s Anglican, he might be OK. But if Episcopal, no.
