In a recent podcast segment [Rumble Link Here], Dinesh D’Souza points out the duplicitous motives for the RNC club to be okay losing elections. In essence, it comes down to politics as a business model, which we have discussed here often.
Ronna McDaniel is the typical GOPe operational head (Michael Steele and Reince Prebius preceeding). McDaniel loves the cocktail and country club circuit that is essentially a life of indulgence amid the donor class. As D’Souza notes the business of fundraising, which is the preferred activity of McDaniel, is better from the losing side of the political dynamic. Not coincidentally, the same financial motives apply to Mitch McConnell in the Senate.
This is worth watching because it is certainly true from a modern historical perspective. And keep in mind the RNC and DNC are private clubs, private organizations. There is nothing in the constitutional framework about political parties. These are private organizations who can make any rule they choose and operate their business in any manner they choose.
The one issue that frustrates me personally; amid the known deep weeds and moves of the RNC as a club and their vitriolic hatred for the Tea Party before and MAGA movement now; is why President Trump continues to express confidence in Ronna McDaniel.
Yes, there is always going to be intra-party factions within the Republican system as a whole. However, the (at best) 10 to 20% of the club establishment, the Wall Street Multinational faction, are toxic to the objectives of restorative Americanism. The club elites, and this includes current RNC head Ronna McDaniel, simply hate the vulgarian middle-class and the base of the movement. Yet, for some unknown reason Donald Trump allows this to continue.
McDaniel is working against the interests of the MAGA base. The head of the RNC does nothing to highlight demonstrable election fraud; she stands aside and watches as media frame an extremist narrative against the base of the party she is supposed to represent. McDaniel does nothing to support the legal alliance needed to push back against election fraud; and worse yet, she does nothing to support the recruitment of MAGA minded candidates to lead the middle-class working revolution against the corrupt political system. Yet, amid these brutally obvious realities, no one ever seems to call it out.
Eight years ago, CTH spent almost two years following, tracking and researching their RNC club moves. We had sources and moles all around them in every meeting.
Six years ago, CTH outlined the playbook they use to control election outcomes, and we specifically mapped out the ‘splitter strategy‘ they would deploy, AGAIN, to execute their scheme. In 2016 they triggered every single tripwire we predicted in the exact and specific sequence we outlined they would. And I am telling you right now…
One of the things that has bothered me is why the RNC would give up such a huge advantage. And this is not the first time. Think Reagan landslides and Gingrich House. All frittered away.
In the past, I looked at it as shear Bush stupidity and an inability to fight on even terms. But when Trump bests the left at their games, the right rises up in revolt of Trump.
I am sure that the left would be happy to be back in a dominant position. And the right would be happy to go back to profitable subservience. But that doesn’t happen.
Everything stays even. Power in each body of Congress gets swapped back and forth for the last thirty or forty years. And the Presidency has been swapped even longer.
That is not a natural equilibrium. But it does seem well suited for the business of politics.
“The right rises up in revolt against Trump.” Nothing more need be said.
Because the fund raising advantage goes to the underdog. Watch the video again as he explains the RNC is a fundraising organization and they get more money when people are angry at the opposition.
We just have to point out to the RNC that we view THEM as the opposition.
The notion of “fund raising” and party cofers (RNC or DNC) was put into it’s final resting place in 2018.
The amount of money available to the party favored by the Puppet Masters dwarfs any amounts put into party cofers.
The RNC had a “massive” lead in size of party money resources in 2018 and 2020 yet was outspent by way over 2:1in both elections by last minute contributions.
Fund raising has just become another media bullet point to be covered.
All the money flow is decided in cigar smoke filled back room by the Puppet Masters after negotiating power sharing arrangements with both party’s. President Trump was not buying into the negotiation for 2018 and 2020.
Let’s not forget the money laundering both parties partake in through foundations and foreign governments. These politicians are CRIMINALS that make the mob look like amateurs. Remember when police departments cared about dirty cops until they ALL became dirty? That’s DC on steroids.
“coffer, coffers”……… lol That is why all must/should make their donation(s) only to an individual they support… NEVER to the RNC… and any mailings they receive from the RNC, etc., should be returned filled out, but instead of a cheque, a large note stating the fact that as the RNC has been non-supportive of MAGA and of President Trump, that the RNC is NOT getting ‘supoort’ from you.
The answer is clear-money and power. If after the last 5 years you still dont see it then you simply are incapable of understanding the basic primal level of greed/narcisistic humans.
Rush Limbaugh brought that to our attention in 1994. When the GOP won both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years he expected jubilation in the GOP. Instead, he found many Republicans distinctly un-enthusiastic and even troubled by the thought of being in charge. The cognitive dissonance was so jarring Limbaugh commented on it in his show.
What gives? They DIDN’T want to win?
And then we watched as the GOPe was complicit in taking down Newt Gingrich, the same way they later took down all the other grassroots movements like the TEA Party, Donald Trump, and MAGA. They’re swamp creatures, and they’re very happy pretending to be in opposition while in fact being the junior partner to the Democrats.
Rush eventually dubbed the GOPe “The Washington Generals.” The Generals are the fake team that plays against the Harlem Globetrotters who are there to make a good show but always lose.
I got to talk to Rush Limbaugh and Bo Snerdley 4 or 5 times over the years. I was the one who gave him the Harlem Globetrotters vs Washington Generals comparison. To date, I have never heard a more apt comparison.
I miss Rush big time!
Rush Limbaugh was a once-in-a-century genius. He was described as having a “rhetorical gift”. Understatement!
What Shakespeare was to theater; and what DaVinci, Michelangelo were to art and the renaissance, Rush was to broadcasting and political conversation.
“… conversationalists across the fruited plain …”
He single-handedly re-made the entire hide-bound, dying radio industry. He created tens of thousands of jobs at radio stations and at the companies that advertised on his shows.
Mega Dittos…
Washington is BIG money! People get elected and somehow (sarc) become very wealty
A perfect summation of what we call politics as usual up until Obama. Things changed then. The people rose up in revolt against the republican party establishment and nominated and then elected Trump. The reaction was swift. When he was reelected, that outcome could not be allowed to stand and that is where we find ourselves today. The business of politics is still there especially for the rank and file but, something much more sinister is at work. The fundamental transformation Obama spoke of had been well under way for decades and always had a small hard core following. The indoctrination of the youth has happened better than they could have hoped for and now the tide or our fate stands on a razors edge I fear due mostly to ignorance and media influencing power. The natural equilibrium cannot be denied forever. But, what is a natural equilibrium in politics? Whatever the mob can be convinced on any given day in a democracy some would say.
I think the difference isn’t necessarily Obama per se – it’s the rise of China and the corrupting influence of Chinese money. Before, there was money and corruption in politics but all the money was American. Big Labor versus Wall Street, or the military industrial complex defense contractors versus the taxpayers, everyone involved was American so no matter who won an American benefitted.
Not so today. Now, China is siphoning off the wealth of the United States and for a few pieces of silver the corrupt political class is only too glad to facilitate the plundering. Big labor and the military industrial complex can’t compete with a communist regime that doesn’t care about profit and loss, and uses money as a weapon.
China is siphoning our wealth via political class.
Nope. American Corporations are using China for its labor and manufacturing. America is funding the rope used to hang ourselves.
China has only been able to do that because they were HANDED US manufacturing on a silver platter by the US GOVERNMENT! Tax regs incentivized companies to GO overseas. This was not an inevitable organic occurrence or a natural superiority of communism. This was by DESIGN. Give China the technology and trade secrets they did not have and get slave labor in exchange.
When I was in high school I had to take a class called non-western history where I learned about the cultural revolution in China and saw pictures of people being shot in the back of the head and their bodies kicked into mass graves, and the streets filled with people on bicycles and everyone wearing the same blue clothes and ox carts hauling goods. China was a backward country until the globalists gutted America and sent our manufacturing to China. How this happened is nothing less than treason. Oh yeah, I forgot. “White supremacy” is the biggest threat to the country, ROTF…
China may not have been here until the ’80’s or 90’s but the Russians were here starting after WWII and have
filtrated a lot, including, by one source, the seminaries. This infiltration started in the ’60’s.
It took the Vietnam War’s draft dodgers to infiltrate the education system and train people for politics. We can add other groups to the growing number of groups that agree on tearing us down.
It is important to remember that the rise of China came at the expense of turning America into a service economy rustbelt from sea to shining sea. I call RINO Romney “Larry the liquidator.” Treasonous scum like him have enabled China to build their military into a global threat. People like Romney are “enemies of the state” as far as I’m concerned.
The indoctrination of the youth had been going on for a long time before it was acknowledged or even recognized by most people. Not sure when it started, but my “personal guess” would be in the late 1950’s or early 1960’s. About the time my cousin started college and became very liberal and tried to get the rest of us to ‘go along’ with her thinking. She spent years not knowing how a “regular” person lives.
Mao actually noted how women were more susceptible to radicalization than men and capitalized on it.
What I find amazing is the globo-communists control the media, academia, education, and just about every other institution and the country is still almost evenly divided! That shows you what a terrible job the so-called conservative side is doing. Trumps message was unbeatable and “they” saw a huge shift in voting because of it and had to stop it! Seems Dinesh is right. The RNC is controlled opposition and does better when on the losing side. I even figured out years ago that the people pushing their books about “the dangers of liberalism” like it when the opposition is in control because they sell more books. I don’t need any fecking books to see what these azzholes are doing and reading a fecking book isn’t going to solve the situation we are in.
Congress is so “civilized”, aren’t they? {{sarcasm}}.
It’s as though both parties have agreed: It’s “2 terms for me, then 2 terms for thee”.
Rinse and repeat.
“… why the RNC would give up such a huge advantage.”
Because ‘advantage’ is relative to a specific goal and you are missing the real goal of the Republican Party. They don’t want to win and exercise power for the good of our America. Their goal is to lose while maintaining a substantial minority position that can be leveraged for profit for RNC donors and elite Republican officials. AND to see that no outsider — Trump being the leading current example — interferes with that goal.
Which is why I vote against all incumbents, Republican or Democrat, doesn’t matter.
“…I vote against all incumbents, Republican or Democrat, doesn’t matter.” My Dad taught me this when I was first old enough to vote (for Reagan in 1980)…I’ve done my darndest to abide by it and teach others as well!
And their political strategy is to use MAGA to get elected, and then stab their supporters in the back when they get in office.
End the two party rule. I have never been or ever will be a member of a political party
Are you able to participate in primaries or caucuses without being registered?
Kaco, it depends on whether your state has open primaries in that you do not have to register as a member of a party to vote in a primary.
Yes, I know, that’s why I asked Phil. My state is a closed primary.
MD is closed also, but if you are unaffiliated, you can vote for anyone, any party.
No, not in primaries, don’t know on the caucuses.
All right, then do you want a vote in who is the Republican candidate? Then you need to vote in the primaries.
Depends on which State you live in and how their laws are. Some can, others can’t.
It would be best you find out what your state is so you can participate in choosing who the GOP candidate would be.
I’m INDY; can vote either way. NOT a member of either party, why WOULD I BE? I DON’T SUPPORT EITHER Party. And, I too get 8-10 emails everyday BEGGING from Rubio, to GIULIANI, Trump, McCarthy, McConnell, (just insert anyone’s name they think will prompt me to send a ck). How damn stupid they must think I am..
The dems, libs and party are vile….but the GOP are low-life, backstabbing, low-lying, dark of the night snakes. They don’t have the courage to say, we are screwing you; they just talk a game and play kabuki theatre and play us as fools on Fox….Hannity, Levin, et als.
The purposes and reasoning for voting in the Primaries is to put in the person that best represents YOU and YOU’RE morals, standards, desires, direction for the country into position for the general election.
After that the choices are limited to the elections that most people complain about, the “Lesser of Two Evils”.
If everyone did their Constitutional duty as a citizen of the USA they would know about, vet, and hopefully have personally met “their” representatives. It is best to do so before the Primaries so you can hopefully get the best chance for the best outcome and hopefully not two evils.
Whenever a “real” political candidate steps into the ring, the powers-that-be will invariably insert their ‘posers’ to muddy the playing field and split the vote. When voters see through their subterfuge, they co-opt the voting mechanisms using computer algorithms and hacks, to deny Americans their Constitutional right to fair representation via the peaceful transition of power.
A Supreme Court that no longer recognizes or upholds our basic Constitutional rights may soon find itself up against the right to form militias against a tyrannical government. Won’t that be a hoot. /s
That can only work if one lives and/or works in a major city. With open primaries, one can vote for whichever person they feel matches their beliefs, that’s why so many more are leaning toward “not affiliated” if they live in a state that has open primaries.
There won’t be any more primaries if the left gets their way with ranked choice voting. RCV is responsible for the clown show in Minneapolis and the left is pushing it with massive leftist dark money. In July 2020, against city charter recommendations, the Bloomington city council voted 6-1 to put it on the ballot. It barely passed and was recounted.
It puts all the candidates on the ballot at once which can be overwhelming for some, and can cause people to give up and just vote for incumbent because there are too many choices. It also allows manipulation of the vote by an algorithm that “exhausts” some ballots in order to get one person to have a majority. But that majority is often less than 50% of the votes resulting in fringe candidates winning when there is no incumbent, and also leads to counting issues as we’ve just seen in NY.
“How damn stupid they must think I am..”
Not in your case. No longer in mine thanks to the education Team Sundance has provided.
However People do what works.
The trick is to spread the word to every one hence the informational lock down of the traitorous medias.
Because in Pennsylvania, you’re not able to vote in primaries without official political affiliation. I was dem then switched to gop to vote Trump in 2016 primary.
I’m in Indiana, too. Nowadays, you can choose whether you want to vote in the D or R primary. You don’t have to belong to any party.
I think the voting rules have changed over the years. When I was young, I registered as an Independent until I found out I couldn’t vote in either party’s primary. Then, I switched to Republican. Now, when you register to vote in Indiana, you do not have to declare affiliation with any party.
Yep. But it is with great satisfaction that I inform friends how I got all of my post election donations back from the RNC, then quit my position as PC captain and left the party. Many followed my lead.
So, you quit as precinct chair when we have been shown that we need to go local and take over our precincts?
We need a SMART FOCUSED 3rd party. One that will turn the Republican Party in our direction or replace it, like the R’s did to the Whigs.
It’s too late for that now, President Trump has decided to stay in the GOP.
WE need a third party. We can’t sit around waiting for Trump to rescue us. We need to rescue ourselves. If he can’t see the wisdom of a third party, then we need to do it without him. It will be harder without his influence and connections, but still.
After watching this past 5 years I no longer will donate to any political campaign, what for, let them get it elsewhere. Trump too as he will not let Winred go.
Question is though, is that a feature or a bug. I’ve been thinking feature.
Oh boy, Dee, was I happy to see your comment re Trump and WinRed. I am a Yuge DJT supporter, but I will NEVER AGAIN contribute $$ through them. The last time I looked, fine print allows WinRed to direct your $$ to wherever they determine is best use or most needed.
I cannot fathom why DJT refuses to set up his own receiver entity, and instead link supporters to this vile organization.
I think we need more info on that. I know a certain percentage of his donations go to the RNC, last I recall was 25%.
Dinesh is the best spokesman for explaining humans being humans. It all starts in Little League, where winning teams go buy pizza and ice cream and losing teams go buy more bats, balls, gloves and practice time.
If only the GOP did that when they “lose.” But they follow the “winning” team with their hands out, waiting for their share of the goodies. And the Left, in recognition of their collaboration, give it to them. We are the only ones losing here.
It’s one big club and we ain’t in it. We are simply steppingstones to be used at the leisure/pleasure of our ruling masters.
Our problem is that the GOP prefers to lose. They buy ice cream when they lose. When they win they go buy new suits and go to parties with Democrats to figure out how to not upset any applecarts.
Yep.
No, no, no, that was how little league worked in the late ’80s, very early ’90s. Now, both the teams go out for ice cream but only after signing waivers saying they understand it can only be vanilla with no possible access to peanuts. The league kept no score; there were no winners and no losers. And all of the kids were happy as can be. Well, except little Johnny- he’s in hell because he met up with Donny online and now feels he’s a girl in a boy’s body. His mom agrees, but that’s a story for a different day.
This article says what needs to be said. Why isn’t Trump using his considerable power to have Ronna sent to the Citgo?
And the splitter strategy? It’s on in full force for the Ohio GOP 2022 primary.
Moron Joe Blystone the fake cowboy is a Mike DeRINO plant designed to take votes away from Jim Renacci in the governor’s race.
JD Vance is there to hurt Josh Mandel so Jane Timken can win the race for US Senate.
Jonah Schulz is there to take votes away from Max Miller so Anthony Baldzalez can get re-elected to Congress.
Oh, we’re watching here in Ohio.
Les Wexner and 25 others have given the maximum donation amount of $13,500 to Liddle Mikey DeRINO.
Renacci needs to get more aggressive.
Moron Joe Blystone the fake cowboy is pounding rural Ohio taking votes away from Jim Renacci so DeRINO can skate by the primary with votes from the uniformed, lazy and corrupt.
Trump needs to endorse Renacci but Jim’s campaign so far is letting a fake cowboy grifter gather momentum.
A vote for Blystone is a vote for DeRINO.
Renacci had no campaign when he switched to a Senate run after Mandell dropped out and President Trump asked him.
Strongsville GOP is pretty strong but Renacci is chair of my county’s GOP, we’ll see what he plans for his campaign for our primary.
I hadn’t heard of this other candidate yet but so far I’ve only gone to a Strongsville meeting and not been able to go to my own but planning to do so soon and will speak to Renacci about what you’re talking about.
Indeed. Trying to pass the word around. JDVance does look like a splitter to me. His lack of understanding (or perhaps guile or malice) in 2016 is enough to disqualify.
JDVance quote from 2016, “Appalled at the viciousness and stupidity . . . at the RNC convention. As all of you know, I will never vote for Trump . . . His very existence helps discredit every idea and belief I care about . . . remember Trump’s voters . . . looking down upon them hasn’t worked so far; indeed, it appears to be making the problem worse.” This among other insults and self promotion.
PDJT, from my perspective, does seem to be more active in the primary process. He has endorsed Mike Carey in a primary in Ohio 15 to replace the godawful RINO Steve Stivers who resigned to cash in on the lucre. This happens in a couple of weeks. Are WE paying attention.
He has endorsed Max Miller in Ohio 16 to replace the traitor Anthony Gonzalez (who was originally elected with a major assist from Jane Timken family money).
As to the governor and senate races, personally think Renacci is in good shape, and Mandel is well known and likely. There have been some hit pieces on Mandel which make me think he is the one the GOPe is worried about.
As an FYI – there is a very useful news source – theohiostar.com – which gives information I do not find elsewhere. Seems like it is actually news. Do not always agree, but some of the “facts” provided about past behaviors of candidates are invaluable – they actually are facts. Have been able to send articles concerning Timken about to others as a warning.
I’m very familiar with Jack Windsor and the Ohio Star.
The biggest problems in Ohio Republican politics are the following:
-Les Wexner. He isn’t even a Republican anymore but still has his globalist agenda influencing the old Ohio GOP-e that still has a hold on state politics. That’s why Kasich openly is a CCP Dem these days and DeRINO governs like a CCP Dem.
-Peking Pat Tiberi. He runs the Ohio Business Roundtable and screens candidates running for the Ohio House. Peking Pat is totally beholden to Wexner.
-Szechuan Steve Stivers. He’s running the Ohio Chinese Chamber of Commerce and wants the grift. Steve is beholden to Wexner.
-The DeRINO clan. Liddle Mikey, Fran, his son Pat on the Ohio Supreme Court, his lobbyist nephew Kevin and his lobbyist grandson. All beholden to big corporations and Wexner.
-Kasich, Jane Timken & AG Dave Yost. See description of the others above. Wexner cronies.
-The hapless media. Start with the DeRINO cheerleaders in Cincinnati at WLWT television & Bill Cunningham at 700 WLW talk radio. Continue with the DeRINO lap dogs in Cleveland and Columbus.
This big money knows they aren’t in favor with the average voter so they’re trying to fool you with fraud candidates like Joe Blystone, Jonah Schulz and JD Vance.
That’s too bad about Dave Yost, he graduated from my formerly rural high school.
Do not like or trust Timken, although she was better than the previous guy who tried sabotaging Trump’s campaign in Ohio. But yes, she pushed that California carpet bagger Gonzales. I did not vote for him in the primary.
Mandell was supposed to have been a shoe-in against Brown. The RNC sabotaged Renacci’s run for Senate, all I heard was Brown ads. Was very upset, went into my county GOP headquarters wondering what the heck is going on.
Sabotaged indeed. First major campaign I ever experienced where: saw no tv ads, yard signs, campaign mailers, rally signs, — heard no radio ads, phone calls – not even a robo call. Was astonished.
And agree – sadly – that as bad as Timken performed, she was better than the previous clown.
Jane Timken was 100% Kasich in 2016. It was noticed by the Stark County Republican volunteers who liked Trump.
Maybe JD Vance would be better suited working for Black Rifle Coffee Company.
THAT game is played in EVERY state. WHY does Lindsay always have 7 opponents…?? Weaken the field, file multiple candidates and the incumbent will pull 35-40% and skate home.
Burr’s NC seat. ALREADY 3 running. Same will occur here. 2x loser McCrory in it to pull out the GOPe, Establishment, RINO vote and defeat Budd the conservative. Also has a congress member running, ALL to make sure Budd is NOT the candidate….
Totally agree. DJT’s biggest fail was choosing some horrible GOPe types. Perhaps they weren’t obvious at the start but should have been ousted when he knew who they there–Christie, McMaster and a few others come to mind.
Just about EVERY appointee was a disaster at every agency, cabinet post and SCOTUS. Kavanaugh and ACB are worthless….wasted appointees that do nothing for conservatism, the Constitution.
You need to put the blame where it belongs: McConnell and the Senate Republicans. Mitch deliberately prevented Trump from making recess appointments and then make it clear that any R that voted agains Trump’s nominees would NOT face retalations. Result: Any Trump appointee that couldn’t get 50 out of 52 or 53 Republicans was DOA. EVERY Trump appointee of significance was voted against 47-0 and 48-0 by Schumer.
In effect every Trump nominee had to get by Lisa Murkey, Susan Collins, Mittens, and when he was alive, McCain.
Its not only that. McConell allow Schumer to “slow roll” every Trump appointee. He also allowed Committe Chairs to hold up appontees as long as they liked. When Trump leaked that he might fire Sessions, Grassley publically stated he wasn’t going to hold hearing on any new AG in 2017. So that was that.
This was an insane situation that had NEVER occured before. NEVER had the Senate fought the President of the same Party over nominees. You have to go back to Andrew Johnson to find anything similar, and IRC Johnson was actually a War Democrat, not a Republican.
Yes, Andrew Johnson was a War Democrat. Commanded the Union garrison in Nashville.
Most of the criticisms of Trump’s appointees should be directed at McConnell. Again, THANK YOU, Kentucky. You were essential to the success of the Republican Party in preventing a MAGA sweep during Trump’s term.
Kavanaugh and ACB are WORSE than worthless, I believe. They’re actively harmful.
Can’t touch them, if you can’t get close.
Easier to know the plans you can’t stop, by encouraging them to be bold and cocky in the open.
We never would know Pence without Jan 6.
Pdjt will drop ronna and every other piece of shit once the audits start fully presenting. Or he knows he isn’t big enough and we aren’t willing to stand.
And not necessarily because he was a non-politician, but because he trusted too many who turned him in the wrong direction…..(IMO)
Remember that for jobs requiring Senate confirmation Trump was choosing from a list of ‘men I could get confirmed for that job’ given him by McConnell.
Thank you again, Kentucky. You’ve no idea how much we appreciate your returning the head corrupt Republican to the Senate term after term.
Mandel all the way. For those of you that think JD Vance is a legit conservative willing to embrace MAGA ideals I say this:
JD Vance had a movie made of his book by Hollywood with big name stars. It was picked up by Netflix. Vance made loads of anti-Trump statements.
Any conservative embraced by the leftists in Hollywood and Netflix (the Obamas have a multi-year contract with them) is not someone I trust to be MAGA. Spit.
The Uniparty is fighting hard in Ohio. I pray MAGA candidates succeed.
Taking out DeRINO would send shock waves through the establishment. It needs to happen in 2022 and it’s why we need to coalesce around Jim Renacci and not that fake cowboy grifter Joe Blystone.
As a Tea Party member, it became very obvious that the UniParty rules the day. I do not consider myself a Republican and am in it solely because my state has closed primaries. Both parties are clubs—and we’re not in them if we’re wise.
Term and fundraising limits followed up with enforcement of meaningful penalties for campaign finance violations.
Does President Trump have the authority to remove and replace McDaniel whenever he wants to?
Read the article.
The article or video doesn’t say.
I just looked it up myself and found an article confirming it is an elected position.
If POTUS thinks he has the votes to replace her, he would probably put pressure upon it.
“The RNC’s 168 members are set to elect the next chair in January, when they convene for their winter meeting.”
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/11/mcdaniel-republic-national-committee-chair-436160
“These are private organizations who can make any rule they choose and operate their business in any manner they choose.”
Yes, but POTUS isn’t really running the show, he is a very high influencer, though.
Thank you.
And I suspect that is a big reason why H. Clinton basically financed the DNC.
That’s a whole lot of leverage for when you need DNC to work in your favor.
So pdjt called out Mitch finally. Doesn’t that indicate he knows of Ronna but feels he needs her, or doesn’t need her doing something right now.
Or should pdjt just start taking aim and rising up our anger?
No, it is an elected position.
The ABOVE photo…Nikki. Pence, Ronna: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about the Republican Party . Be a member if it pleases you but THEY don’t care any more for you and your rights than any Dem running for any office…..
I’d assume the more known Trump voters via digital tracking internally from voting, donating, etc… That are on gettr, will give PDJT an internal indicator it’s time to start communicating.
Pretty sure he knows once he talks , all tools are going to be dedicated to silencing it
If Donald Trump were to get rid of everyone around him who may be a snake, he would have a social circle like me. And that’s scary. I just pray he knows what he’s wrangling.
Don’t think he ever did. He TRUSTED the swamp. Ivanka and Jared didn’t help and really hurt. Bannon was the one that knew, recognized and could steer away from the swamp and he ditched him. He used more insiders, swamp as any past POTUS and thought he could enact changes all the while the Dems were in 100% counter-offensive WITH the media, press and networks…….
Yes. I believe that Trump is what is termed an idiot-savant, at least politically. Now, before I get roasted, let me say clearly that I supported Trump both times and very much admire him. I admire his character and his savvy and his love of this country and its people. However, I have found him to be astonishingly naive about certain things and this is a large part of why he didn’t see the 2020 betrayal coming and all his good work has just about been completely undone by Biden. I don’t think he understands career politicians. He doesn’t see their natural treachery, greed and malice. He doesn’t see their lies. Probably because he’s so naturally straightforward in his dealings. I may get lambasted for this as well–but I wish he’d had someone like Newt Gingrich to advise him. I know he’s been in the business for decades, but I think he would have helped, not hindered Trump. As usual, I leave plenty of room to be wrong.
Someone can have a “fatal flaw” and thhat does not make them a bad person.
We all have flaws.
Us pointing out a flaw that’s a serious problem for him, and therefore for us, doesn’t make us Trump-hating meanies either.
Happen to agree with you. Just because I didn’t always like what he said, or how he said it, didn’t mean and still doesn’t mean I’m not supporting him, I just don’t donate any more since he doesn’t get it all, and it goes to some that I absolutely do not want to see in office , all because of party affiliation.
I could agree, but I can also see a part of it being (not, all just a part): the people need to see. They need to see with their own eyes. And, that, Trump has gotten many people to do- see it with their own eyes.
I surmise President Trump was a very savvy businessman who thought he could negotiate with these evil bastards and talk everyone into his policies. As I said on the previous page to you, these people can smile and lie straight to your face, worse than used car salesmen. I think even Sundance was gobsmacked when Alderson tried to give the line of bullcrap there needs to be a barrier between Congress and the DOJ. Well, how the heck do people get recommended for investigation or charges if not for the Committees doing their own investigations?
I also heard President Trump really does like flattery. God knows how Rubio got an endorsement except for his seemingly being against China.
Someone close to him needs to talk to him that maybe he can’t just go on gut instinct that he prides himself on. Maybe that’s getting a little shaky and there needs to be some serious background checks on these decepticons.
President Trump sees a qualified, smart person and gives them a chance. How can he help if the person gets bought off by the Swamp?
I get tired of the mantra, “I’m not a Trump Hater but…”
Where is the class action against the RNC? They took in well over 100 million after the election while promising to investigate the fraud. Now we learn that they spent not one dime investigating the fraud. All who donated during that period should get their money back plus damages. Jenna Ellis should organize it.
I agree. They went after Patriots funding the wall for a lot less. And are still harassing that disabled vet.
I steadfastly REFUSE to give any money where the letters RNC appear… and sometimes you have to dig deep to get it. Instead, I respond to all inquiries with a statement about my refusal to supply any more money until I see ACTION. Their taking action is FREE and takes no real effort on their part. They just have to DO the things we hope our money will inspire.
So my model here is ACTION FIRST then your swampy arses get paid!
EVERYONE needs to start doing this. If you still have social media, then make a graphical meme that says as much “Dear RNC, you get no more money from me until you take the actions you know we want.” The left will approve of this because it means the RNC gets no more money.
Meanwhile, MAGA candidates will get our votes and they don’t need to raise funds so much to make that happen.
I sent their last plea for money back to them marked “refused.” Haven’t heard from them since.
I haven’t donated a dime to the RNC in decades. I always give directly to the candidate.
It is one of those D if you do, D if you don’t situations. Hope Trump has got extra money to help win the next one as there are many like me who resent not being able to choose who we want “our” donation to go to. ALL OF IT>
I agree that MAGA candidates do *not* need funding. What we really need are fair elections and the rest will easily take care of itself.
Of course the UNiparty will fight tooth and nail to deny us our votes. They callously decided to inject us to be rid of us, so they can continue their evil ways.
Dinesh nails it again.
To paraphrase Milton, the RINO’s would rather serve in hell than reign in heaven.
And this is why after nov 2020 fraudulent election i vowed NEVER to vote the two party system. You can say this just gives the liberals the majority but if every patriot did this we would win by upsetting their ‘country club’ politics. Would it be chaotic? Yes. But what do we see now?
The 2 party system is dead.
I wish we HAD a two party system. Right now we have a 1 party system, the Uniparty.
As many from here did, I donated quite a bit of money to the RNC under the auspices of fighting the election fraud. They took in over $200,000,0000 and essentially did nothing with it. I think we should have a class action suit to get the money returned. If we can regain the use of this money or at least stop them from spending it on other purposes, it will help the America first movement and hurt them.
I agree. What the RNC did with the donations to stop the steal was borderline fraud.
We have stopped any and all donations to the RNC, NRCC, and the NRSC…also to the Heritage Foundation, with a note that says if they really did their job, President Trump would still be at 1600.
On the other hand, this has pulled back the curtain on just how filthy and ugly the Swamp is. They must be severely punished at the polls. Bu first, each State must clean up their voter rolls, dump counting companies that connect to the internet and run a clean election every time.
The GOPe are happy to be sitting in the back seat.
It’s much easier to lob a few potshots at the hated Democrats than to actually lead the way for conservatism.
They keep all the perks and don’t really have to break a sweat.
They’re worthless.
I certainly hope Dinesh’s video is seen by many; others who don’t read CTH ?.
TY Dinesh and Sundance.
Anybody who would justify ‘loosing’ to support raising a measly $10M more than the democrats surly has little regard for America and the damage done during a political musical chairs session. The democrats are moving to end this ridiculous political game and the RNC and GOP might not get a chair when the music stops and the democrats shoot the band.
The RNC is overwhelming me with requests to renew but I am holding fast. I will NOT be a part of anything as long as Rona is there. She’s nothing but a sham. How can she lead the RNC and be anti-MAGA? What the hell is wrong with her brain?
The GOP itself is anti-MAGA. She’s a member of the club, along with most Republicans in both houses of Congress, the courts, the administration in the White House while Trump was there, most civil servants and the alphabet agencies. I probably left some out, but you get the drift. She’s not an outlier, she’s part of the Republican system entrenched in our political structure. WE, however, are not and we need to STOP giving their our money and our votes.
The notion of “fund raising” and party coffers (RNC or DNC) was put into it’s final resting place in 2018.
The amount of money available to the party favored by the Puppet Masters dwarfs any amounts put into party coffers.
The RNC had a publicized “massive” lead in size of party money resources in 2018 and 2020 yet was outspent by way over 2:1 in both elections by last minute contributions from traditionally DNC and RNC donors.
Fund raising has just become another media bullet point to be covered, with no meaning other than to act as a shiny distraction.
All of the election money flow is decided in cigar smoke filled back room (out of sight) by the Puppet Masters after negotiating power sharing arrangements with both party’s and interviewing cooperative candidates. President Trump was not buying into the negotiation for 2018 as well as 2020 and he lost support and votes both times.
Besides successfully GOVERNING in the face of impossible odds, President Trump’s biggest accomplishments were relighting the MAGA spirit and exposing the Puppet Masters.
Just another couple of businesses looking for our dollars. No more – for me.
Record RNC fundraising.?
what percentage are from disappointed voters?
what percentage comes from Multinational Corporations, and globalist oligarchs?
Did any of the donations come from folks who thought it would be going directly to PDJT, to help him fight the fraud?
I would imagine there was an initial dearth of donations, following the RNCs silence and. resistance re the fraudulent 2020 election. Then it turned into record numbers. Curious.
You should mention that Steele – a former RNC Chairman – is more less a liberal and gave overt support to Biden and Hillary against Trump. No one else at the RNC attacked Steele for this betryal. Any attacks on him came form Trump supporters.
I love the way that CHT explainsthe truth. The DC Republicans and the RNC have been captured by the Chamber of Commerce and the Big Donors. Pleasing the Big Donors is the true aim of the RNC/DC republicans. Someone once said of Facebook that “the users aren’t their customers they’re the product”. The same is true with the RNC. Their true audience is the Big Donors. That’s who they answer to and that’s who they’re trying to please. The Republican voters are just an unforturne obstacle that needs to be neutralized with “Campaign Rhetoric.”
Sounds like “Soylent Green”, doesn’t it?
“the users aren’t their customers they’re the product”
Didn’t see Steele become fat and placid like we have Rona.
Year ago Ann Coulter said Republicans only care about the wants of big donors. So true. The same can be said for the Democrat party.
The RNC was absolutely useless in 2016 and 2020. Its not just that they did nothing to “Stop the Steal”, they did nothing to help Trump win in 2016 or 2020. And where were they in GA Senate races in Jan 2021? i stopped giving $ to the Republican Party years ago because I couldn’t figure out what they were doing with it. I just give $ DIRECTLY to candidates.
While I do not like it or agree with his methods, President Trump is the one in the hot seat charting the course for the movement, while trying to keep it most relevant in a position of influence until a new leader emerges. .
It is his and his family’s lives as well as futures that are in PHYSICAL danger of destruction, now on a daily basis.
He and his few supporters are the ones walking point into the teeth of the enemy, with NO back-up.
He is going to be 77 by 2024 and undoubtedly wants what all fathers and grandfathers want…time with their children and grand children, to walk them down the aisle at a wedding, go to their games or see them succeed in person. Even the most fit and UNSTRESSED after the age of 70 have health surprises occur just due to natural wear and tear, he knows that.
So, disagree if you want but keep in mind ALL the stakes before making some of your comments. President Trump has earned the right to lead and move forward as he see’s fit and I will always support him on that basis alone. As he has said, you have the right to disagree and leave if it is not to your liking. Disagree if you like but if you plan to follow his lead do so, and tamp down the level a few notches.
Hit the right targets as best you can…members and supporters of the DNC and RNC.
Well said. Thank you.
We also see that the Dem news outlets are tanking in the ratings now that Trump is gone. The RNC are lazy b-tards who have figured out how to fleece the rubes.
And don’t forget her uncle is Pierre Dicklickdoe.
In 2008, Gingrich released a book called “Real Change.” It was a Quixotic treatment of what the GOP agenda should have looked like in an era following wasted opportunity (The Bush years) and an inevitable Obama presidency. But it’s WELL WORTH the read. That book opened my eyes to something I had never considered before: The GOP wants to be losers. They don’t want to lead, they don’t want to govern. I had long suspected something was off when they did so little of value during the Bush years when they held both houses of Congress. The Republicans could have done anything they wanted legislatively between 2003-2007. We saw what they wanted. Then again in the 2010 mid-terms, this became even more transparent as the Tea Party energy (which is essentially the MAGA movement) was exploited and then depleted by pieces of excrement like John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, etc. Second verse, same as the first. Finally, they ended all doubt when they fought Trump at virtually every turn of his first two years in office, then actually handed the majority over to Nancy Pelosi on purpose.
I used to think the choice was (D) Evil vs (R) Stupid. Now I just think it’s (D)Evil and (R) Evil and feckless.
Yep, there have been 4 large MAGA movements inspired by Republican Voters that would have set the Republic on a solid course. RNC leadership used them to be elected and then got cold feet when they realized that meant leading and forsaking their sugar daddies.
Members of the RNC leadership (“the club”) killed off the same MAGA movements, on purpose, that put them in power.
President Reagan
Contract with America
Tea Party
President Trump-MAGA
I also count Newt Gingrich as at least an associate member of the CLUB. Newt knew darn well that trying to impeach Clinton was a dumb move and sure to kill the success gained via the Contract with America movement he started.
I have a hard time understanding how anyone on the Right could still be sending money to the RNC. The GOP is hopelessly corrupt and can’t be fixed. We need a new party. Yeah, yeah, I know “we wouldn’t have any power if we did that.” But what power do we have now? I don’t mean what power does the GOP have, I mean US. Any power the GOP has is NOT wielded on our behalf. We have NO power. Not even the power of our votes after 2020.
Two questions I would like to see asked of President Trump.
1. Why not form a third party?
2. Why continue to express confidence in the likes of Ronna Romney and others of her ilk?
I agree with the questions. Right after the big expose about how Ronna and RNC back stabbed him, one of his anonymous spokespersons said he still had a good relationship with Ronna. Why ? Why would you want a good relationship with a greedy backstabbing person like her? I know in business relationship is important but clearly in politics it is not.
In leadership (business, politics or military), it is called “course of action analysis”.
What is the objective?
What is the timing in achieving that objective?
What assets are available?
What are alternatives to get there?
What are risks with each alternative?
etc. etc.
President Trump has done this we are seeing the course he selected that has best chance of success as HE defines it. So, like it or not…get on-board and work with it or form your third party to see what happens. By the way, sitting on the sidelines is the same as forming a third party, it robs votes.
If president Trump had more and powerful support available, he would share ALL his plans and thoughts. He has neither so he has to move forward keeping nearly all his support in the dark…it is the nature of being the point in dangerous unknown territory with deadly consequences for wrong moves.
gonna try something I have yet tried in our new commenting system (embed a tweet)…
I find Dinesh’s commentary yesterday interesting in light of another DC critter’s “revelation” just a few hours earlier than Dinesh.
Here is Mr. Fang Fang in his own words pulling the curtains back on the UniParty. Notice that this is really how the UniParty operates and Swalwell “thinks” it’s just the GOPe “playing games” / “acting the part”. You have to excuse his lack of self-awareness for not realizing his “dunce” cap routine is rather weak.
I don’t often “watch” videos, especially of people talking, but I happen to admire this particular ‘new’ citizen, so I did. I agree with him 1,000%. They are just another business after as much of your money as they can get, and despite my ignorance, I gave of my small income monthly to the Trump campaign until someone or something made news; that both the rnc and dnc takes a portion of every dollar donated and uses it in what ever manner they want. In other words, donating to Donald Trump Campaign does not mean Donald Trump gets the whole amount you donate…..a portion goes to the rnc. When I found that out, I stopped donating, and will never again give any.
Oh, I still want to see Trump back in office, but until they can come up with a way to insure ME personally that all the money (however small) will go to the candidate of MY CHOICE, I’ll never donate again.
TRUMP needs to stop endorsing Rona. PERIOD. He also MUST stop talking about the experimental gene therapy. Every single time he brags about it my hair stands up on end. Does he NOT understand many of us will never take it?
The money seems to be actually in the govt. why try to collect nickels and dimes from constituents when we can lose to the party that will propose outrageous spending proposals that we can oppose but yet still receive huge sums of money from.
This was good but he doesnt go far enough…. at the end of the day, its a two party illusion. Trump has to know if he was a true threat, he’d be dead. There are/were lines he definitely couldn’t cross. Im glad he truly exposed how useless the GOP is. I support what he stands for and believe he’s sincere. I just wish he could reveal how deeply controlled we really are and how the current GOP is lost beyond repair.
So why, exactly, should PDT continue to use the GOP as he is doing to further the MAGA agenda?
IMO his efforts are designed to force them to succumb to MAGA or be splintered into various factions with special interests. That breaks up the club. The more MAGA candidates that are lifted up from the local and state elections, the more likely the RINO faction is isolated, neutered, and eventually destroyed.
At some point there has to be a day of reckoning for them and and the Dems. I hope I live long enough to see it, but will not be holding my breath.
Proudly unaffiliated as of 1/6/21. My votes will go to those who are the most honest, down to earth people with real life experience.
Everyday my email in box receives probably 200-250 fundraising emails from the RNC and every other Republican fundraising tool and individual candidates and organizations. I do not open or look at them or give any consideration at all. I made the mistake of contributing to a couple and it just leads to more money request emails.
The “swamp” is wide and DEEP.
As George Carlin said many years ago “It’s a big club and you aint in it.” You can find his monologue on youtube, but beware the “rough” language in the clip.
If GOPe is “Chamber of Commerce,” or “Wall St” controlled, why are we spending trillions of dollars and blood to fight never-ending wars in the Middle East?
On whose behalf?
Follow the money–in both parties.
There is one beneficiary, and one special interest group. They are a hostile foreign power, and their capital is not Beijing!
Look at the top 20 donors, or top 50, or top 100–to both parties:
https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/biggest-donors
Any Chinese there?
Two words would fix almost all of this : TERM LIMITS ! For House and Senate.
Maximum of 4, 2-year terms for House and 2, 6-year terms for Senate. No more 30, 35 or 40+ year congressmen or senators.
A seemingly appropriate parallel relating to “movies” – action thriller, horror, musicals, “chick flicks”, etc. – “suspend disbelief”, has apparently been the M.O. of the two parties. … In the case of the RNC: “We the RNC are ‘Freedom Loving, Advocates for Constitutional Principles, Limited Government, the ‘middle class’ and Conservatives'”. Empty words; Mitt and his niece are cut from the same worthless cloth (as must be those who sponsored her as “RNC chair”).
While one might be discouraged and even muse “How could I not see that ?”, the “light” being shined on the “swamp” and “deep state”, “voter fraud”, unequal justice and “weaponizing” of government functions is serving to clearly identify the problems for all who will open their eyes and abandon their “willful ignorance”. As well, the “light” emphasizes that we all need to be self-reliant both individually and in our communities. Consider getting involved in local government and school boards, and investigate time and energy in contested elections regarding your county Republican Party Committees.
Keep in mind, Trump had to “pick his fights” and “trust” many (like Mitt and Ronna) who he must have known viscerally were duplicitous. … A lot of mistakes, yet for the lessons he has learned this Country needs to give him a second chance; he will remain the “best hope” for advancing the long process of dismantling the systems that have been evolving and undermining the Constitution perhaps since the last to sign it lifted his quill.
Lagman, One minor nit, maybe a major one.It’s President Trump, or PDJT.
Your statement about PDJT’s opening the eyes of the general population is very correct. Yes PDJT had to pick his fights.
Seeing how deep and entrenched the Uniparty is, becomes mind boggling.
Recently President Trump tried to stop fund raisers from using his name. He was over ruled. The RNC and other PACS constantly ask us for donations to support Trump! NO way. We send donations directly to the candidates that have our backs. So far they are all from other states ! President Trump should step away from McDaniel and surround himself with loyalists. Be careful where you donate. PACs don’t always have your interest in mind.
Remember too what transpired between Jenna Ellis and Ronna Romney-McDaniel who’s St. Mitt the Pious’ niece. McDaniel blocked Jenna for telling the truth. Jenna quickly exposed McDaniel as a fraud again. Including the RNC and creep RNC “counsel” Justin Riemer. https://www.businessinsider.com/giuliani-demanded-rnc-counsel-resignation-trump-election-challenges-book-2021-7. Then McDaniel takes to neocon Newsmax and triples down the lies!. McDaniel also claimed the RNC committed $100M against electoral fraud (11/20) of which Giuliani et al said they saw not one (1) penny of. McDaniel also stated “we have 350 attorneys fanning out all over the country to monitor the Election“. LIES. I bet Bitch McConnell knows where the $100M went…..I’m not now nor have I ever been a subscriber to twatter. Links are public facing. NEVER one penny to the RNC.
McDaniel fully exposed – reacts
Ellis follows up

Your comment was held for moderation because it had more than four links. You can circumvent this by making two posts. 😉
Been saying this for awhile, but without a clear statement of MAGA Principles, we are going to get precisely nowhere. We cannot define ourselves entirely as reactionaries to the Left. There may be reactionary principles that are necessary, but we are better off defining who we are and not define ourselves as “Whatever the Left says, we oppose that.” That’s why we lose. When we try to say things like “We’re Constitutionalists”, we get Ted Cruz “Constitutional Conservatives” who as we have seen on the Supreme Court have a very flexible definition of the Constitution.
That’s the issue.
An example of a MAGA-specific principal? We view the Intelligence Community as a threat to individual liberty, and vow to dismantle and disempower the IC through personnel, policy, legal, oversight changes and criminal prosecutions, jail time, and permanent debarment from government service as an employee, contractor or lobbyist.
We view the Department of Justice as corrupt, along with its investigative arm the FBI. Most senior DOJ leadership is corrupt. Rank and file attorneys and investigators are corrupt, routinely using their power to falsify investigative documents, frame individuals, and violate individual rights. We vow to dismantle and disempower the DOJ/FBI through the same measures as the IC.
The purpose of the US Military is to defend the Republic, and to fight and win wars when called upon. We oppose “nation building” and fighting proxy wars around the world. Within the military, we will actively promote MAGA patriots into leadership positions, and work tirelessly to excise “wokeism” which is a cancer in the military. We will ban military officers who retire above the rank of Colonel from “private sector” employment for a period of 5 years, 3 years for O6 and 1 year for below this includes contractor work and lobbying on behalf of contractors.
There can only be one rule book by which Americans play. The current Government Party exempts itself from laws which would land normal Americans in prison. The Russia Hoax was a criminal enterprise run by the DOJ/FBI and IC with the help of the United States Senate “Gang of 8”. The 2020 election was compromised by corrupt actors both within the government and external to it (e.g. contractors and State officials). We do not debate the corruption of either activity, and actively seek to bring the perpetrators to Justice.
America is a country where Americans live. It has borders and rules for citizenship. These have been voted upon by the American People by large majorities. The Government Party seeks to undermine citizenship, diminish it, and eliminate its meaning. We vow to enforce immigration law, build the wall, and strengthen deportation while weakening the power of the Judiciary to thwart lawful enforcement.
America is a country where Americans work. The United States is a self-contained economy which does business beyond its borders where it benefits American workers. We support and advance policies to reindustrialize the United States of America, protect it from being undermined by corrupt foreign labor/IP practices, and adopt a Main Street Economic Policy that puts individual Americans, and American companies ahead of multinationals and Wall Street.
America is a country that requires no external dependence on Energy production. We are and will continue to be 100% Energy independent.
Politicians with financial ties to foreign governments are a direct threat to individual liberty. We will expel from the Party anyone with foreign government financial ties either directly or through immediate family.
That sort of thing. If you want to run with an (R) next to your name, you attest to these principals, and you demonstrate a lifelong commitment (past, present, future) to the advancement of MAGA. We’re gonna score you. We’re gonna primary you. We’re gonna stamp our MAGA candidates, and if they screw up, we’ll own it, but we’ll also commit to replacing them.
Without a clear statement of principles like this, Pres. Trump doesn’t have a marker to throw down at these these WY candidates, and maybe he winds up picking the RINO just because that person said nice things about him on CNN. The eGOP knows how to play voters. The way you cut them off is you make them stand for things they would rather retire than endorse.
If you’re in politics for self/power/greed, you’re in it for the wrong reason.
I am being inundated with pleas for money from these people….it’s really disgusting.
Why isn’t there something better than the 2 party system to run our country?
Like father, like daughter. The apple never falls far from the tree. She should never have been placed in the job.
WinRed is the RNC fundraising vacuum cleaner. Most requests by Trump, Tim Scott, and others ends up in the RNC account. I do not donate to the RNC. Trump has finally provided what appears to be his separate account from WinRed. Ron DeSantis just sent me a request, also using his own account.
Ronna McDaniel is not a leader, has no new ideas, and is probably an operative of the Democrat Party. The outcome of the 2020 election is the only info needed to make a decision about McDaniel. But instead of firing their failed leader, the GOP elects her for another 2 years of failure. The underlying problem is that Republicans are not serious about winning, hence the type of people working for the GOP, people with no competitive nature, no new ideas, people who just need a day job like Ronna.
