  1. Let me know when it starts being more like the movie. I’ll bring the popcorn.

  2. >“I think within 30 days you’ll see a purge of staffers from the RNC, because it’s a hotbed for anti-Trumpism,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist and host of the War Room podcast told The Daily Beast. “That’s the open secret.”
    Skeptical holdouts within the RNC have gotten the message: Their days are numbered.
    But it’s not just RNC staffers who are not safe—it’s also the party’s 168 committee members and consultants who have enjoyed friendly business relationships with the party, according to GOP sources familiar with the dynamic who spoke with The Daily Beast.
    “I think there will be a whole new 168, and they’ve been working around the country to make it a full Trump 168,” a source close to the RNC told The Daily Beast. “Trump’s gonna make his own rules here, and he wants his own people in there.”

    >Within GOP circles, the concerns surrounding Lara Trump center on her being viewed as a nepotism appointment who doesn’t have the experience necessary to do what the co-chair job entails, which is mainly fundraising.
    One former official on the Trump 2020 campaign expressed that they were happy McDaniel is leaving, but said that to view “Lara Trump as the solution is a joke.”
    “She’s not there to be an asset to the RNC, she’s there to be Trump’s eyes and ears,” this former official said.
    Another Republican operative relayed a similar sentiment about the presidential daughter-in-law, saying that “GOP donors are in full panic mode over the possibility of Lara Trump” being RNC co-chair.

    And yet, not a single backbone in sight to stop it.

  3. Well the one thing he is known for is bankrupting everyone he goes into business with. So that’s nice. It is hard to run campaigns and fight court cases when your broke.

  4. Same playbook as Stalin. The Orange Traitor must be in jail and blocked from running for president, regardless of a trial or not. Democracy is on the line.

  5. Saddam Hussein did the same thing on TV… Actually all dictators do.

  6. Which is what the majority of the rightwing base wants and has wanted for decades.

    Maga is just the latest in a long attempt to ‘run out the rinos’.

    Did everyone forget about the Teas, Reform Party, Perot and Ron Paul?

  7. They got what they deserves, it’s like Make a Wish come true

  8. They had their chance to stand up to him in 2016 but Reince Priebus bent over and took it like a man.

  9. It’s hard to think of a group more deserving of a purge, even if it is by even worse people. That said, this makes it even more important to keep republicans out of positions of power.

  10. As an Australian who’s conservative State and Federal governments run by ‘The Coalition’ / the Liberal and National Parties (see rural and city Republicans) quickly cannibalised itself through a combination of bad governing and shit optics leading to almost unanimous centre-left Labor (see Democrat) across the nation- let them.

    To butcher a quote by Napoleon “Never interrupt your opponent when he is willingly putting his face in the mouth of a leopard”.

  11. Couldn’t happen to a better group of pasty white fellas

  12. All the R voters I know have zero clue this is happening either because none of them follow any kind of actual news.

  13. Literally I feel like I’m living in the Twilight Zone. Is every Flippin Republican compromised?
    Also can you imagine your legacy being, I helped Donald Trump try to take over America. The children of his political allies are going to need years and years of therapy.
    You know Trump has dirt on everyone because they will absolutely never stand against him. They can’t really be that freakin stupid or mentally ill. There has to be more to it. This is truly insane.

  14. Graham hasn’t been right about much, but he sure was right about Trump right up until he started licking Trump’s boots.

  15. Please Donald Trump run the RNC like any one of your businesses.

  16. I don’t know how these committees work, so someone help me out here.

    Article claims that most of RNC is anti-Trump.  So who exactly picked these Trumpets to join?

    Article also says the new people have to win member support.  Meaning what?

  17. When your whole platform is based hating on other groups of people, don’t be surprised when they decide to hate you next.

  18. All of you implying that him running the GOP is somehow okay or good since it will wreck the GOP or every bit as shortsighted and dumb as the GOP leaders who thought that they could use him for the beginning and then stop it before it got to them in the end.

    You don’t infect yourself with cancer to lose weight, get happy that you lost 20 lb, and figure you’ll just cure the cancer after that.

    Moment you find out you’ve got cancer you f****** get rid of cancer.

    Trump is tearing apart the body of the United States from the inside out. He is a cancer that turns otherwise healthy normal people who only have the propensity under certain conditions to become cancerous into active MAGA mutated vectors. The sooner we can rid ourselves of this hideous tumor the sooner we can start the incredibly painful process of chemo and radiation to heal this heavily metastasized disease in our US body

  19. If they give him the keys to the castle by appointing someone obscenely loyal, like his daughter in law, they deserve the inevitable purge of people to be replaced by loyalists and the subsequent bankruptcy and straight up looting of the RNC.

    If you make a pyromaniac the fire chief, don’t be surprised when they start using gasoline instead of water in the hoses. 🤷‍♂️

  20. After the GOP loses convincingly this November, will they blame Trump or excuse Trump?

  21. My city is SO EXCITED to host this debacle. “It’S gOoD fOr BuSiNeSs.” All of the new hotels and restaurants that have come into existence downtown to serve the RNC are going to be destroyed by debt.

  22. This is Trumps “Night of long knives”. Fully taking over the party.

  23. “If we nominate Trump we will be destroyed and we will deserve it”

  24. What’s next for the GOP, a Trump-styled version of the KGB? Republicans have become the communist party loyalist of the USA.

  25. The GQP is wholly and totally incapable of governing. Completely detached from reality. Taken by insane conspiracy theories and fascist undercurrents; the modern Republican Party has boiled down to extremist white Christian nationalism with a flair for terrorism.

  26. *Two days* after the coup attempt on January 6th, Trump called in to the RNC meeting, led by Ronna McDaniel, and was met by applause over the phone from everyone there. Two days after trying to overthrow our government and end our democracy.

    Fuck all of these people. I have no pity for what he’s doing to their party.

  27. All the republicans need to do is stop defending him and boot him and all his people. Theyve been handed ample opportunities to be done with his ass. Including 2 impeachments. But they are too stupid to take the L.

  28. What I find surprising is that few people are talking about what would happen in a second Trump presidency to the economy. With Trump fully in control he will run the US economy into the ground just like he did his casinos.
