“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.

“...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.

More:

Michael Whatley has been a Republican activist for 40 years. He has served as the Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party where he has led our Republican Candidates to unprecedented victories in each of the last two election cycles and has been named as General Counsel for the Republican National Committee where he will oversee all national election integrity programs.

Since volunteering for Jesse Helms and President Ronald Reagan in 1984 as a sophomore at Watauga High School, Michael has knocked on doors, worked on phone banks, put out yard signs, recruited & trained volunteers and raised money for Republicans in Local, Legislative, Congressional, Senatorial and Presidential races from one end of North Carolina to the other.

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.

In 2015, Michael answered the call to help Donald J. Trump in North Carolina and helped deliver the Old North State for President Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 election cycles.

Michael has earned a Bachelor’s Degree in History from the University of North Carolina–Charlotte, a Master’s Degree in Religion from Wake Forest University, a Master’s Degree in Theology from the University of Notre Dame and a Law Degree from the Notre Dame Law School. He served as a Federal Law Clerk to the Honorable Robert Potter in Charlotte.

Michael lives in Gaston County with his wife and three children and serves as a member of the vestry for his church.


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

Michael Whatley has been a Republican activist for 40 years.

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.

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.

Trump’s choice? A Bushy? Go figure.
This is not necessarily bad. Bush was a govenor, a candidate, then president. A strong conversative still needs political work and the Bush operation was where some jobs were.

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.
