Is This Why Harmeet Dhillon Fell Short in RNC Chair Race?

The election for the Republican National chair grew nasty towards its final weeks. Incumbent RNC chair Ronna McDaniel was elected to an unprecedented fourth term yesterday. However, these contests, which aren’t often exciting, became a focus of national attention after attorney Harmeet Dhillon decided to toss her hat in the ring to bring much-needed change to the organization after three consecutive election losses. The abysmal election performance of the GOP in the 2022 midterms, which was supposed to be a red tsunami, was the tipping point for many in the grassroots.
Besides having a prime environment to clinch significant majorities in Congress with the Biden agenda creating high inflation and an economic recession, Democrats had a stroke victim—John Fetterman—running in one of their crucial Senate races. His mental impairments were painfully obvious, and he still won. The GOP couldn’t defeat a man who was unqualified and couldn’t string a coherent sentence together. I don’t know if that says more about the American electorate or the GOP. Either way, it was an embarrassing night. With congressional Republicans re-electing the same clowns who oversaw this political oil spill, the RNC chair election is at least one area where someone could be held accountable.
Dhillon isn’t a bad candidate, but her team might have been too aggressive, alienating potential RNC committee members. Anger and frustration are understandable, but it seems Dhillon might have been able to pull an upset if her crew were more disciplined. It at least wouldn’t have ended with McDaniel boat racing the rest of her challengers, the other being MyPillow’s Mike Lindell (via Politico):
