GOP to vote Friday on McDaniel, Dhillon, Lindell as new RNC chief
by Stephen Neukam - 01/27/23 6:00 AM ET


Republican National Committee (RNC) members will elect a new chair of the party on Friday, ending a race that has seen Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s leadership tested by two rivals. 

McDaniel, who has led the RNC since being tapped by former President Trump to the role in 2016, is being challenged by Harmeet Dhillon — a legal adviser to Trump’s 2020 campaign — and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

RNC members will cast secret ballots on Friday in Dana Point, Calif., where McDaniel needs a simple majority of the committee’s 168 members to secure another stint as chairwoman.

McDaniel is the favorite to win another term, but the challenge from Dhillon has been stronger than expected after the GOP suffered what many in the party see as another disappointing election season in November.

Lindell has no business being in this contest.

Today we elect a chairman of RNC for 2024 cycle. This is the first RNC race where every endorsement vote of a Republican group nationally demanded change. I am that change. Thank you to every single American 🇺🇸 who took the time to say it: we must change—or keep losing. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

It's almost an insult he's running. People run for these titles not understanding that they are overseeing a massive logistical operations, of which marketing, 'branding', and PR are but a small portion.

One of the reasons the GOP fails is because they don't understand election logistics, and they don't think any moves ahead.

Insiders slam Ronna McDaniel for using RNC donor money as a 'piggy bank' - with $500,000 spent on an apartment and $75,000 on beauty and spa services - ahead of vote TODAY to decide her fate as party chair
Daily Mail/UK, Jan 27, 2023

Ronna McDaniel is coming under even more fire for alleged frivolous spending as insiders claim she's using donor money as a 'personal piggybank' – amid revelations the Republican National Conference spent nearly half-a-million dollars on her luxury Washington, D.C. apartment and another $75,000 on beauty and spa services.

The RNC chairwoman, who is facing a tough reelection racee for an unprecedented fourth term on Friday, has faced criticism from her opponents for wasteful spending of donor funds meant for getting more Republicans elected.

A new review of Federal Election Committee filings show that funds went toward rent in one of the most luxury apartment buildings in Washington, D.C., which includes an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, Equinox gym, indoor basketball court and bowling alley, among other amenities.

RNC member for Hawaii Laura Nakanelua, who is backing McDaniel's challenger Harmeet Dhillon, said people have a right to know how the money is being spent and whispers of questionable spending have circulated for weeks.

'I think there's a there there,' she told DailyMail.com in Dana Point, California the day before the election for RNC chair.

Republican National Committee Treasurer Ron Kaufman appeared exhausted with the claims of McDaniel misspending funds, claiming that the apartment and media appearance preparation costs are 'nothing new, nothing unusual.'

Mike Lindell is just splitting the anti-Ronna McDaniel vote and ensuring she remains RNC chair. Harmeet Dhillon could beat her if he wasn’t in the race. Why be the spoiler?

While that may be true, the bigger problem is a lot of the party leadership just has contempt for the base. Instead of voting for real change over one hundred of the voting members supported Ronna McDaniel.

True, but these people are voted in from the bottom up. I don't know why the grassroots delegates keep voting the top people in.

There were rules changes implemented in 2016 that essentially destroyed any grassroots influence on electing these delegates.

Yes, those would be the ones.  The RNC did not take it well when Cruz visited each State convention to empower the grass roots TEA Party remnant.

Harmeet Dhillon Says Republicans Ignore Grassroots Base at Their ‘Peril’
Tony Gray   by Tony Gray

The Republican National Committee member who lost her bid to replace Ronna McDaniel as chairwoman predicts disconnect from base voters.

California committee member Harmeet Dhillon expressed dismay that McDaniel allegedly used corporate donors to secure her reelection. She insisted, though, she would honor her pledge to work with whomever won the committee chair election, including McDaniel.  ...

Dhillon, the RNC committee member from California who was unsuccessful on Friday in her bid to unseat longtime national party chair Ronna McDaniel in a high-profile and combustible election, pointed to her grassroots support and warned “if we go back to our homes and ignore this message, I think it’s at our peril. It’s at our peril personally, as party leaders and it’s at our peril for our party in general.” ...

For the Presidential nomination yes, but for party officers I think the process is still the same - the leadership below elects the leadership above, and ultimately starts at the precinct level.

The National Party is now involving itself in State Party affairs.  They use their influence to favor one candidate over another.

As for the Convention, changes to Rule 10 allowed the RNC Chair to hand pick a committee to recommend changes to the nomination process.  These changes were directed from the top with zero input at the local level.  Changes to Rule 40 now require a potential candidate to receive a plurality in 5 States in order to be included in a floor vote.

At the 2016 Convention, nine states attempted to force a floor vote on rules changes.  According to the rules at the time, only seven states were needed.  But the RNC denied their petition (in violation of their own rules).  This was a direct assault from the RNC against grass roots Conservatives.

Yes, but those that voted yesterday for Officers of the National committee were elected at their state conventions, and on down. As far as I know the National has no control over that.

Correction: Those that voted yesterday consist of the Nat'l Committee Man and Woman, who are at least in Iowa elected at state convention, and the Chair, who is elected by the State Central Committee.

The members of the State Central Committee are in turn elected by delegates of the District Convention. The District officers are elected by the Chair's and Co-Chairs of the County committees. That's how it was when I was elected District Co-Chair.

The delegates to the District Convention are elected at County Convention. Delegates to the County Convention are elected out of the precinct meetings at the Iowa Caucus held every two years in Jan, and is open to all registered Republicans. County Central Committee members are also elected out of the Caucus, and they elect the officers for the County committee.

They do it somewhat different in other states, but in the end it is a ground up process that the Nat'l does not control.

As Ayn Rand once said, there is no such thing as a contradiction.  If you ever encounter one, check your premises.  You will find that one of them is wrong.

The contradiction here is based on the premise that Donald Trump is a 'Drain the Swamp' guy.  He isn't.  Once one realizes that, the contradiction goes away.

Donald Trump was never about draining the swamp.  Never.  I challenge anyone to find the instance during the 2016 where Trump first mentioned draining the swamp.  I can't find anything predating October 2016.  Sure, you heard it from the pro-Trump crowd.  But never Trump.  In rally after rally after rally, Trump never brought it up.  He has been an establishment guy his entire life.

I'm finding that my support for Trump is not once it once was. He's playing the "inside game" more and more and his appeal was as the disruptor from outside.

Or is it that your prior perception was skewed (by shiny sh*t), and you are now returning to a perception that aligns more with reality? Jussayin.
