The members of the ‘Big Club’ have spoken. Mrs. Ronna McDaniel wins reelection as Republican National Commitee Chairwoman for the fourth time.
Ronna McDaniel received 111 votes, Harmeet Dhillon received 51 votes, Mike Lindell received 4 votes and Lee Zeldin received one vote.
Florida Governor Ron “Top Gov” DeSantis expended some political capital with a failed endorsement for Harmeet Dhillon. President Trump stayed neutral in the race, preferring to let the RNC make their own decisions.
CALIFORNIA – Ronna McDaniel won a fourth term to head the Republican National Committee (RNC) during a secret ballot vote by members on Friday, capping off a contentious election spurred by calls within the party for new leadership.
McDaniel fended off two challengers — California attorney Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch denier of the 2020 presidential election results.
She received 111 votes, while Dhillon received 51 and Lindell received four. Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who did not ultimately make a run for RNC chair, also received one vote.
The last three elections have proven disappointing for Republicans: The party lost the House in 2018, lost the Senate and presidency in 2020 and only gained a thin majority in the House in 2022. Many in the party cited last November’s midterms as a reason to elect fresh blood, as McDaniel oversaw the RNC through the last three elections.
McDaniel, in brief remarks, told RNC committee members that she heard the concerns from those who voiced criticism in the wake of the November elections while also projecting unity within the party.
“We need all of us. We heard you, grassroots. We know. We heard Harmeet, we heard Mike Lindell. But with us united and all of us going together, the Democrats are going to hear us in 2024 when we take back the White House and the Senate,” she said to applause in the room. (read more)
The RNC wants money, the DNC wants power. The RNC uses power to get money, the DNC uses money to get power. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor contributions, whereas the donor contributions to the RNC drives their ideology. This outlook explains the subtle difference between the two wings of the UniParty and also explains why Republicans have no ideological goals.
Are those Candidates the only choices Republicans could find? Neither is good from what i have read or seen in action
republicans are communist that enjoy the 2nd place gravy train
very bad people hang with republicans
Republicans “are communists” == Didnt read Sundances statement about this election before “opining”.
Nothing new here. Where are the subpoenas from the Intel committee, Judiciary Committee, Special Committee on weaponization of the DOJ, FBI etc. It’s all Kabuki theatre, Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of OZ, and we are so gullible, we keep lapping up their BS and call it a win. And, believe me, I include myself as a member of the gullible class.
Calm down, Mr. Petty. The House hasn’t even been in office for a month. BTW, appropriate surname you are using.
How disgusting…
any football coach with such a dismal record…
“Ronna McDaniel won a fourth term to head the Republican National Committee (RNC) during a secret ballot vote by members on Friday …”
How were these “members”, who voted today, chosen? Did high-ranking members of the Republican party decide who would vote in today’s election? If so, then our only way to influence the Republican party is to flood them with emails.
They are chosen in the states from which they come. I’m on the State Committee in Missouri and I met 2 of the 3 National delegates at our meeting a week ago. I asked them to vote for change… but 2 of the 3 were already committed to Ronna McDaniel before the meeting even started. It’s sad.
But how are they chosen?
See post above. Precinct officers elect them.
It begins by PDs voting for other PDs in their County at their County convention to go to the state convention that votes for state leadership and national reps.
Become a PD. Encourage others in different precincts of your County that have openings to become PDs or outright run in the next campaign cycle to win a seat in the party.
Stay the course until you have the numbers to take over the Executive Committee of that County. If we can all do that across the country, people like, Ronna would be gone.
Perhaps these ingrates were running a trial ballot harvesting scam……
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
Sundance, at this point, is devoting his life to exposing the Uniparty.
And yet posters here still give money (during Hannity’s commercial breaks?) to Republican members of Congress.
Surely there are far more good causes for charity than any politician?
As Robert Frost said – provide, provide. And he didn’t mean provide for politicians.
I will donate directly to the campaigns of Republican candidates I like. But not a dime to the RNC.
It’s a big club, and I don’t want to be in it.
LOVE^^^^^
Speaking of providing, the glory of America provides a refuge from the eternal corruption of politics.
Never forget the splendid luxury that America provides of being apart from the ugliness of politics, if you choose.
I keep an eye on politics, because those neanderthals are starting to really impact the “splendid luxury”. Thank God not so much where I have strategically-chosen to live, but talk to people near the cities, or the southern border, about how their lives compare to two decades ago.
You’ve heard the ancient joke, from a mainstream comedian like Mark Twain or Will Rogers “Don’t vote, it just encourages them”?
American democracy, the American populace has this splendid luxury.
It will not last.
?? Based on the last couple of elections, it has already past. I wish folks like Kari Lake all the luck in the world, but I don’t think they’ll let her win.
If at first you don’t succeed, give up.
General George lost his first SEVEN battles. After the famous “crossing the Delaware on Christmas Eve” win, his troops spent a Winter at Valley Forge”.
If only they had the grit modern “conservatives” do. /s.
It’s like the statement “Don’t feed the trolls, it just encourages them”. The politicians ARE the trolls.
I’ve heard this acorn all my life, and searching the internet it was attributed to Jack
Paar and P.J. O’Rourke, as well.
Don’t vote, it just encourages them.
The lazy who don’t vote thereby find some moral high ground.
The refusal to vote cannot possibly be a moral statement, unless your candidate has been illegally and illegitimately removed from the ballot.
If empty protestation is your thing, you can take a ballot and refuse to vote. How grand.
The dopey Never-Trumper Jonah Goldberg claimed he voted for the Constitution
Party. We must take his word that such a thing exists.
The refusal to take part, in any meaningful way, in Democracy, can never be anything but absurd. But Democracy affords such dopes their moment in the sun.
We don’t have to take his word for it. It does exist:

Among other people you would recognize, Tom Tancredo is a member of it.
there are only a few ways out of this mess, and none of them are pretty, or even likely. as the clock moves closer to midnight for America, many people still deny reality.
a vote for the ‘lesser’ of two evils is still…. a vote for evil.
Yup, 100%.
Denying reality doesn’t make it go away, it just makes it more of a surprise when it arrives.
Do you think that Gavin Newson would deliver the same results as POTUS as Ron DeSantis?
Knives in all our backs?
Yup.
OMG kNivEs iN oUr bAcKs.
NeoAntoinette hysterics.
Pas du tout.
On a global scale yes, Newsome and DeSantis are the same side of the coin whatever their driving motivations which obviously impacts on the US middle class. The only differentiator Is DJT’s global economic (trade and supply chain) and energy policies.
no, but the same evil that funds desantis is the evil i speak of above
Muh all election choices == “a vote for evil”.
Hyperbolic, performative foolishness.
Ignore Drumpf. Don’t vote. Voting is eViL.
😂😂😂😂
This was just step one in the effort to stop Trump. Now these same people will set the rules for the 2024 campaign and primaries. You know that they will be favorable for DeSantis and unfavorable for Trump.
Trump may yet decide to run as an Independent America First Party candidate and put these RINOs out to pasture for good. He may not win by doing that, but the Republican party as we know it today will be dead and buried after 2024.
Personally, I have too high a regard for Donald Trump to think he would run as a third-party candidate in 2024.
In what fashion would that diminish him?
If he is standing upon the embers of the faux opposition party he’d be quite the hot commodity.
De Santis dissed Ronna and endorsed Harmeet yesterday.
Ronna had a huuuuuge win.
Ronna win == better positioning and leverage for Trump/MAGA.
Indeed, DeSantis misplayed his hand ( and the infamous advice from his “esteemed” presidential election committee). But Ronna is no angel and DJT knows it hence his neutral stance.
It’s good for Ronna. She can continue to attend DC cocktail parties and spill the GOP beans over a couple glasses of wine.
Ronna is a Mormon so no drinking alcohol.
In public.

As General Flynn keeps saying, the ultimate solution to this mess we’ve let our country get into is local action from the ground up. There are literally 200,000 unfilled GOP Precinct Committeeman Seats begging to be filled by MAGA Patriots: https://precinctstrategy.com/
To say the least it will be very interesting seeing how Our President deals with Ronna. He decided not to endorse for a reason.
Time for a 3rd Party.
“Time for a 3rd Party” ==
Time to self indulge fly commit suicide rather than continue to fight.
“Time for a 3rd Party” ==
Time to reject prescient President Trump and start listening to emotional armchairs.
#Trump2024
Stop!! We get it. Thank you.
This is bad news. I wish Trump had never even tried to work with them, but that wouldn’t have worked either so we are bent over and ready to receive Big Salami that is Ronna McDaniel along with her plastic surgery Bee Stung Lips that have obviously been kissing ASS!
Does this mean the RINO, Inc is going to start waxing poetic about how RonDS is losing his ability to pick winners and how that is damaging to The Party? That has got to hurt.
They’ll spin it as a worthy expenditure of political capital, a heroic sacrifice for the little people, send money and he’ll get em next time.
Are the mail in ballots counted yet maybe need another count. RNC needs to learn the game not just be pawns of your opponent, your weakness is showing.
Did anyone here really expect anything else?
Not. One. Dime.!
ronna/romney received only 66.5% of the votes cast ………..
Well I guess they don’t care about “the little donor” so I’m out. Hurts to think my contributions were spent on a pedicure or someones wardrobe. That was real money to me and the family but I thought it would make a difference.
All I got was incessant texts and calls asking for more.
Any future contributions will be very local.
“…secret ballot vote…”
Therein lies the problem.
Currently, I despise the Republican party and never in my life did I think this would be the case.
I suggested a third party right after Trump lost and it was not received well. The bottom line is an “either or” choice does not work. The Republican Party is beyond repair and to be quite frank both parties disgust me. It would take a number of years but I think the current GOP would shrink to a minority party if there were three viable parties.
It would only work if it managed to keep itself outside the uniparty system. It may or may not be possible for a third party to have any effect, no matter how large it was. The Deep State is many, many times larger than just the GOP/Donkey’s Ass politicians.
Notice the flood of commenters urging emotionals to Dump Drumpf and go 3rd Party Bull Moose Perot?
So super duper organic. 😂
Did I say anything about dumping Trump? Go listen to Rush’s definition of insanity. In addition, I said it may take years to make it work. If you have 50 million conservatives go to a third party along with working class Democrats who just hate the Republican brand it can win.
.
People who want changes have to get active in their local precincts and work their way up in the party’s hierarchy. This will involve networking, friend-making, and donation bundling. Here are the 2016 party rules:

She done Uncle Willard proud.
Ol’ Mitt.
I can’t understand how someone could be so stiff and so slimy at the same time.
Same sh1t different day…..and still so many go on pretending and buy ticket to the play……….
but there will come a day perhaps soon , when the pretending will no longer work…..
DeSantis’s endorsements are the national stage are a kiss of death.
**On the National Stage
LOL, I see what ya did there.
Obviously a nonsensical statement.
I quickly posted and corrected it. However, DeSantis’s endosements lose.
DeSantis endorsed the wrong senator or congressman in Colorado and another one in NY. They lost. He endorsed someone for the RNC Chair. They lost.
Not Nonsense. Just facts.
My sixth sense tells me Ronna won’t make it to full term as reelected chairman of RNC . There is more exposure brewing and she’s in the middle of it.
She had to win to obey her marching orders for helping to fix the 2024 presidential election…
From Red State: “As a GOP voter, you only serve two purposes for the GOP’s guiding lights. You provide the party’s leadership with lots of money to shower upon themselves in various schemes, and two, you give them political power via elections. Other than that, you are an afterthought and are a despised means to an end.
And before you assume I’m just talking about the popular definition of the “establishment,” understand those lines became blurred long ago. While Donald Trump pretended to not endorse anyone in this race, he had his top advisors (including Susie Wiles) whipping for McDaniel behind the scenes. Guess who is suddenly happy about the result at the RNC?”
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FnggLr7XkAACCWS?format=jpg&name=small
Think Trump wasn’t involved? Get real.
President Trump was NOT neutral if Bonchie is right. Is he? Why does Pres. Trump support McDaniel? Is he trying to curry favor with Establishment Donors? This is unsettling.
So now Trump owns Ronna. Good strategy on his part considering DeSanctimonious endorsed Dhillon.
I have never given one penny to anything political. Zero.
If you have to donate money, give to your church. Anything that actually helps people.
There will never be any ‘winning’ with politics. Win your local surroundings with the help of your neighbors, understand there will be battle lines.
Better give money directly to your favorite candidates because they ain’t getting a penny out of McDaniel!
I’m sure the globalist Council On Foreign Relations approved her!
CFR: Still the Power Behind the Throne
https://thenewamerican.com/cfr-still-the-power-behind-the-throne/
One interesting tidbit…..Ron DeSantis endorsed Harmeet Dhillon and she put his endorsement on her webpage. This morning it was no longer there – must have been deleted when RDS realized that Harmeet was not going to win.
He is such a managed candidate that you can see the string pulling behind the puppet show.
Nice catch!
Start an alternate organization immediately… Fund it with the small donations that will no longer be going to the RNC and look to support candidates who publicly disavow any relationship with the RNC… McDaniel will destroy the Party if we allow it… Boycott the RNC…
McDaniel’s RNC win is merely a response to big money, but remains a disaster for the GOP. It affirms and validates a job well done, when we all know her work has fallen to the lowest of standards. (Think Comey teaching an ethics class). You can bet that either the numbers have again been played with and are untrustworthy, or gratuities have changed hands. It’s the ‘same ole, same ole’ among the power players within a political chasm that deepens with every mention of the old guard. Phooey.
Whelp, that’s it. The Republican Party is just a theater group, and one with a “kick me” attitude. I think it’s time to drop them and become an Independent.
New definition of insanity….Electing the same person over and over again to get a different outcome.
Yep
A litmus test (i.e. decisive test) for all Republican politicians and leaders in the party administration:
Did they speak up about the perversion of justice in the incarceration of and delay in trials of the Jan 6 protesters and their despicable treatment in jail?
I could count them on the fingers of one hand or perhaps two.
This is why the Republican party is not deserving of a single vote.
The sooner they collapse the sooner there will be a new replacement.
I disagree the the statement … the ideology of the DNC is what draws their donors. It is the RESULTS of the ideology and willingness to apply ideology to achieve business goals of the donors. This is a key nuance of difference.
The majority of the donors want to be in power and democrat party willingly supplies the muscle to control the population and bend them to support business plans. Those who run the democrat party and the upper escelon of their party are not even ideologues .. they are willing to do what ever it takes. They fact that the BBB ideology aligns nicely with a totalitarian form of government just like the Russian Bolsheviks discovered in 1917. Communism is not the goal but just a means to achieve power.
China Inc. and now a host of African and South American Nations being the prime modern examples.
Where the USSR failed was in basic focus and their definition of power, which for the Soviets is brute force police power and military.
The definition developed by modern China Inc. (post Moa) is economic and a more sophisticated scientific approach. Contrary to the USSR model with leaders who carried a pistol as well as used it, were generals, security chiefs and street brawlers … China Inc. is run by Harvard MBA’s, with a sprinkling of military-police muscle thrown in as a threat in being.
Unlike the USSR and China Inc., the emerging Western versions of the CCP started an educated elite leadership.
“…..the Democrats are going to hear us in 2024, IF NOT THEN, MAYBE SOMETIME LATER.”
Told ya Mike wasn’t going to get elected (4 votes). This a 168 member club and he ain’t in it. Dhillon hasn’t won an election with more than 17% of the vote…got 30% for RNC attempt…so that’s an improvement.
McDaniels wins again. More gym memberships, private jets, food and clothing for her.
Mike never had a chance and it was always a worry that he would siphon off votes from the lesser of the Rino’s.
this is as rigged as our federal elections… everyone knows these votes support KStreet and not Main Street. And this useless parasite, just like uncle romney are the perfect KStreet puppets. Her salary doubled from her predecessor… time to make 0 donations to the RNC starting today
I have two questions: Is Ronna joined at the hip with Mitt? And secondly she has shied away from the MAGA movement and even said that Kari Lake was the wrong candidate for Arizona Governor. The establishment Republicans are the Grand Old Party(GOP) of the country club elites and special interest groups. The difference is the MAGA Republicans(GOP) are the government of the People. If we are truly “One Nation under GOD” then we don’t need to spend money on Booze, hookers, cash and other incentives to buy special interest groups. In God we trust is the correct path, honest and transparent elections are a must if we are to continue as a nation and live the vision our Founding Fathers saw
Looks like the Harmeet Dillon bashers here got what they deserved. It’s a bad day for America though.
Maybe the bright side is that with 40+ million illegal low wage workers now in the country, maybe the Chamber of Communism can back off a little bit and at least pretend to support the average American.
But it appears that the RNC has focused like a laser on eliminating every MAGA candidate that comes along.
And using our money to do it.
I want to continue to donate to President Trump.
And candidates.
Willg ive NOTHING to the RNC Uniparty, NOR to the Minnesota Republicans, a spineless, useless bunch.
Even though “Winred” may be the processing organization for Pres. Trump, it is confusing to people, as they think they are sending it through the RNC.
HOW can we encourage President Trump to give us an alternative?
I did have to laugh because I thought their strategy would be to select someone (Harmeet Dhillon) who is just like Ronna McDaniel yet sell her as a major reformer.
Instead, they went with the more obvious elitist establishment one with a more well-known horrific track record.
I want to say “clueless” about how the RNC is seen–
But I think “they don’t care” fits better.
The Republican Party let me down and spit in my face yet again!!! They’ve been working overtime for years to convince me they don’t want my vote. Okay, I’m convinced. I will save it for a Party that cares about America. With Trump out Mitch McConnell is the de facto leader of these dolts. They could have easily won the senate, That is what could have stopped Joe Biden on a dime, but McConnell chose to protect his hold on his fiefdom over the good of the country. That’s not someone serious about winning and moving our country forward. His lackeys instantly re-elected him as MINORITY leader, then promptly re-elect the same failed chair of the RNC that keeps losing. Just the fact their gaggle was held at the Waldorf tells me they care more about living large on our donations than turning the country around. I’ve been voting Republican for 40 years and they’ve done nothing but look down their noses for 40 years. I just can’t find a reason to do it anymore. For clarity, Trump was outwardly neutral, but his ‘people’ were working the crowd for Romney. Out here.
Great strategy idea…. Tried it in 2010 as a Tea Party Leader here in Northern California. Went to the meetings and then got on as an alternate commissioner for the Republican County Comissioners. Once the leadership got wind I was Tea Party I was told I would not be able to be a full commissioner. They were heavy into running two sets of books (power for money)
Sound familiar?
The real winner here is the Democrat Party.
Why do we even need an RNC?
hey great, an innocuous comment awaiting approval….
YAY MYccKs! i sure am excited to hear from Trump or others on why we should 1-continue to consent to be governed, and 2-keep participating in the GOP circle hand fest.
I cannot disagree with you.
“I can’t disagree with you”.
Don’t want to or choose to =/= ” can’t”.
As an aside:
Psyops typically involve posting a comment thats followed by approving comments from seemingly independent accounts. Despite having different user names, the commenters arent independent; theyre actually part of the psyop team.
Why? To create the impression that the first comment is the community approved opinion.
This sense of, “people are agreeing with this opinion, it must be right” affects those who tend to follow the crowd rather than thinking for themselves.
Political polls are a variation of this psyop. So are up votes and down votes.
Create reality versus reflect reality.
There are very clear psyop themes being pushed, they fairly glow with their disinformationalist tactics, but they all incrementally oppress hope and and promote doom and dismiss Trump, the latest mind-virus promotion being “Cults and Cheerleaders.”
CTH is certainly on DC’s mind.
GOP =/= RNC
Conflating the two increases vulnerability to the now 24/7 psyop attacks on our hearts and minds.
https://theprecinctstrategy.com.
President Trump and many other savvy warriors have asked that each of us:
Read it. Share it. And do it.
Never, ever give up. Instead, live, learn, improve and keep going.
We don’t. I’m just not sure how we get rid of them.
Stop funding them
………………… and stop voting for them. Get involved in your local party ………………… or better yet …………. start a new party.
Old things have passed away, behold all things are new…..I wish
“Start a new party”.
Ignore Drumpf. United we fail. Divided we prevail.
Or
As the colonists reminded each other, ” hang together or lose and hang separately”.
Corporations fund them.
They don’t need us!
They have the C.O.Ce and the globalist banks and corporations and anything else that they need they can openly STEAL from the government.
We don’t need them, and they don’t want us.
Remember that when the fund raising mail shows up.
Send the prepaid envelopes back empty!
Better yet, send them back with a hand-written note informing them that you neither support the Uniparty nor the RINOs.
That, and tape a penny/cent to the note.
I’ve done this. I’ve written in red ink that I will not give them a penny until they start supporting Trump and real conservatives. But, who am I??
Do it in cursive and they won’t be able to read it either.
Yep!!
Fill a box with scrap metal and tape envelope to box with no return address. Sand
I send any solicitations back my comments which are brief and to the point. I have gotten very few mail or phone solicitations in the past few yrs.
My replies to RNC fundraising requests depends upon how they’re received.
Delete. Trash can. Not happening.
for some reason R Desantis started sending me fundraisers daily. Odd thing is, it has an unsubscribe button but it doesnt work.
See if you can block that mail. Double click the address from where it came. You should see a dialog box. One of the choices is Block This E-mail. Click it and delete.
Mine offers a different spam blocker. I use it but it keeps sneaking through
I have been getting hammered by the Trump camp it took 3 rounds of unsubscribe. But as of yesterday none.
I never give to the RNC, I give to local elections but I can’t compete with the big donors.
Because the DNC needs it to raise money. RNC donations likely go straight to Act Blue except for 10% for the Big Gurl (RRMcD)
We don’t, however the RNC has the air of legitimacy to collect and distribute our fiat cuttancy.
Glad Trump stayed neutral! l’ll stay neutral to all the big Rs. We need another party and a new set of real conservative candidates.
Those who view themselves as conservatives are PART of Gandalf Trumps MAGA anti NWO Alliance.
Thankfully President Trump, like many voters, finds political labels to be more harmful than helpful and prefers to think of himself as “a common sense American who loves our country”.
We don’t. Give directly to those you support. The GOP isn’t working for you.
It’s all about money. That’s why Trump is running as a Republican instead of an independent. He needs the money machine on his side. Like it or not, that’s how it is.
More accurately, why are we still clinging to the idea that the Republican Party can be reformed or changed? I’ve said it since late 2020: the only way forward is to destroy the GOP.
100%👍
Fortunately President Trump and many, many other realpolitik savvy MAGA Americans disagree.
Coopt? Yes. Destroy? No.
Hopefully those who still lack a sense of OMG urgency have survival instincts and threat awareness that kick in soon.
Fundraising for candidates.
So we can pretend to have a fake opposition party to the destruction of our economy,culture,society, and nation. PDJT exposed to the majority of Americans what I learned in 1996
