Live mike before the meeting. Ronna goes - 'Do I call the meeting to order?'
How long have you done this Ronna? Have you ever cracked a book of Robert's Rules?
She is not a bright bulb. We don't need figureheads and cheerleaders.

If the My Pillow guy is elected, i'm voting straight liberal next election. Don't even care. Guy is a nutjob.
-
If Gingrich was really was a patriot, he'd ditch his pricey plush Op-Ed gigs, and take the job as a community service.
I know he's not squeaky clean, but we need wonks who can work the nuts and bolts of political optimization to perfection.

He is like my Mute Button alert while watching Fox. Geez, he and his Giza Dream sheet schtick is beyond annoying.

Lindell is useless as teats on a bull in this arena. Just write big checks Mike and let experience do the day-to-day.

How is Trump's chosen candidate Ronna McDaniel doing?

Well it is inside the Beltway. As long as Noot doesn't have to move, he should be OK with it.

I'd rather come down with a case of the 'Rona and Butt pox than have Ronna on the case.

Showtime.

Looks like Chair is first, and only two 5 minute nomination speeches are allowed, thank goodness.

In my eyes Ronna wins the GOP Brawndo Idiocracy Award of Excellence for 2022.

For best impersonation of a political operative and a political choke job bigger than a 1986 Bill Buckner Ground Ball.

Maybe Ronna will use her time to justify why her salary was doubled after three consecutive election year losses for the GOP.

Speeches over, now voting instructions.
Each state delegation will vote in booths as roll called.

Hope it takes less than 15 ballots this time. /s

I thought it was a secret ballot?

Looks like they are roll called by state, then vote in the private booth.

The Establishment can count on three votes from Georgia.

After last November, here's the only booth I am rooting for..... Talk about some political fund raising opportunities......

And the results...
-
The Establishment wins !!! The Establishment wins !!! The Establishment wins !!!
-
Ronna wins it handily, Mike got 4 votes.
-
And now you know why I no longer participate in this circus.
-
At least I guess that Ronna is on notice she won't be unchallenged if she doesn't deliver.
Hopefully it will light a fire under her butt.

Yeah, right.

Damnit!

Mitch sends his blinks of approval....

Unfortunately, I doubt it will. Instead, she is likely to take this as vindication of what she's being doing so far, and will just continue to do the same.

Would someone tell me...... Just how does somone get fired from being RNC chair after this performance?
This would be like the dims re-nominating McGovern in 1976.

Good question.
-
I'm officially done with Trump after this. He supports the Repukes that stabbed him in the back. Time to move on.
-
Damnit!
This is what the 2016 GOP National Convention has wrought. It is the very thing that Ted Cruz fought against.
-

They don't. The National Party uses its influence to select the State reps. The State reps elect the National Party leaders.

Careful, son. Words like that could get you banned from certain websites.

Ronna: 111
Harmeet: 51
Mike: 4
Zeldin: 1
Obvs the “room” is pleased but of those storming out I just heard “Well the consultants won again”.

I sure hope no one is still contributing to the RNC.

@dfwgator
What do expect him to do,piss off EVERYBODY so that NOBODY supports him when/if he runs?
This is called "politics". NOBODY has enough power to just do whatever the hell they WANT to do,regardless of who they are. You MUST make deals/compromise with people you disagree with,or even hate,if you are going to get THEIR support on some bills that are truly important to you.
I don't like it,you don't like it,nobody likes it,but that IS the way the political game is played. We do NOT live in a dictatorship. If you want a vote from certain political figures,you have to "give them a little something" in return.

"She's the face of the Republican Party -- and several chins"

Anyone want to guess how many of those 56 State reps lose their voting position over the next two years?

This is called 'selling out'.

The proof is in ...
The RNC don't give a damn about their voters - only their million dollar donors.

@Hoodat
Only if you are a pre-teen.
To the rest of us,it is called "negotiating",and every adult in America does it on one level or another practically every day.
-
So, fellow conservatives: what do you want to do, now?
The Democrats despise you, as do the Republicans.
One group wants to take your money by force, and the other through guilt and dishonesty.
How long before we tell both to go to Hell?

Been having conversations all morning with RNC members. Some of them truly don’t care what their voters think
One said:
“I don’t give a flying flip what the small donors think. They are not voting today.”

Yeah! Two more years of mediocrity!

But this guy got there by the votes from the state convention, from votes of the district convention, the county convention, and precinct convention. They did vote him to represent them, and I hope they don't ever vote for him again.
Maybe other states do it different, but Iowa does it that way.

They voted for him because of the support he received from the RNC.

They will vote for him again because of the support he will receive from the RNC.

@sneakypete
Most in the RNC wanted to offer up McCarthy, warts and all, and NOT negotiate.
Thankfully the Conservatives had a REAL solution to the problem at hand.

@corbe
To be honest,chemo brain has been causing me so many problems the last year or so that I basically got to the point where I avoid responding to complex posts where people are screaming bloody murder at each other over what APPEAR to be typical political "Yeah,YO MAMA!" statements.
Some things are just so basic to human nature it seems like you could easily waste all your time arguing over teeny,tiny,technical bullbush.
I am CLEARLY not the sharpest knife in the drawer these days,but at THIS point it is all posturing and bullBush anyhow. Nothing is going to change or shakeout until after the next Presidential election,and even that is going to be a collossal fart in the wind if Trump isn't elected to stir things up.
