RNC Is Already Crashing And Burning After Trump's Takeover

 

It has only been about one month since Donald Trump solidified his hold over the RNC by replacing the leadership, and things are already much worse than anyone could have predicted. Not only has the Party decided to split their funds with their candidate so he can pay his legal bills, but they are experiencing a dangerous exodus of qualified staffers, leaving nothing but the Trump loyalists in place who have no idea what they are doing. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains how this could tank the Party in November. Link - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...

So it's only been about a month since Donald Trump officially took over the entire RNC apparatus by installing his handpicked leaders, Michael Watley and his daughter-in-Law, Laura Trump as chair and co-chair respectively. So it's been a month. How about we check in and see how the RNC is doing? Well, according to recent reports, not good, in fact not good, would be the understatement of the century because what's happening at the RNC is that when these two morons took over, they sent an email. Again, this is according to a report from the Guardian here. They sent an email out to everybody and said, Hey, uh, y'all have the choice to either resign or reapply for your job. And yes, as part of that, you gotta answer the question, do you think the 2020 election was stolen? And they thought what would happen is that everybody would just reapply for their jobs. But that didn't happen. And now the RNC has been left dangerously short staffed, especially in the key areas that need to be staffed to run campaigns ahead of the 2024 election. And I'm not just talking about for the Trump campaign, right? That's just one out of literally hundreds of races that the RNC has to run because they're not only focused on Trump. I mean, they are only focused on Trump now, but they're supposed to be focused on literally every race. And when I say every race, I'm not even just talking about President House and Senate. They also have state parties that they have to, you know, subsidize and they can't do it. One, because Trump is sucking up all the money. And two, because now according to the reports, they don't have the staff to do it. I, they came in and they fired a bunch of people, and then the few decent people that were left were like, yeah, I'm not reapplying for my job. And the kicker here is that part of the reason a lot of these staffers in the key positions like the data, uh, uh, uh, I guess wing of the party, they don't wanna do it because they're moving the headquarters from Washington DC where politics is down to Donald Trump's backyard in Florida. So the RNC actually approached these people and said, well, hey, um, what if I know you don't wanna necessarily move to Florida? So what if you just come work in our little Trump village that we have for his campaign where they set it up and they have their offices and they have little apartments and you can just work there and live there. And the employees, according to the Guardian, were like, yeah, I don't wanna live at work. Like you're literally asking me to pack up all my stuff and go live at an office in a different state where I don't want To be, and I'm already taking a job that would pay me less than if I just went and worked in the private sector. If this is how the Republican party is going to run, then I don't care what the polls are telling us right now. Republicans are in for the worst electoral slaughtering we've ever seen in our lives. It is going to be truly magnificent to see folks like I am so looking forward to November. You have no idea. And it's all because the RNC became so incredibly dysfunctional because they decided to let Donald Trump take it over. And just like most of his businesses, he immediately ran it into the ground.
