The GOP: Not What It Used To Be 2

[GreyhoundFan]

The former "Grand Old Party" is no longer grand. It's now the cult of trump.

I love this takedown of the idiotic Ashcroft:

TFG would probably nominate him to head the FBI…

Apparently even many Rs are unhappy with Britt’s rebuttal speech.

I wonder if she was barefoot during that? 

[fraurosena]

What a surprise, she’s a typical Republican hypocritical liar who takes liberty with the facts and the truth.

I rarely watch the View, but this whole clip is great.

I’m no fan of Lankford, but this is sad.

I feel sorry for Lankford. Saw a news thing about it. He seemed to believe he was doing exactly what they wanted and apparently got a very right leaning agreement. If trump gets in again - the ripple effects are more frightening than whatever he might directly do.

I'm not being facetious. Sadly, I'm not sure - is this republican guy being charged with murder the same republican guy being charged for murder as last week? I'm not sure but I thought the last week guy was running for an office (thus a different guy)? But I'm not sure.

No, different white male GQPers.

Sadly, with the GQP, there is no bottom.

Dear RNC Research, project much?

But he's got long hair!  Surely that will appeal to the younger generation just like that kitchen backdrop really won over the undecided women voters who watched the Republican response to the State of the Union.

Lara is such an idiot.

Trump's takeover of the RNC not going completely to plan.

The Trump takeover of the RNC arrived with a show of force just days after the new chair, Michael Whatley, and the new co-chair Lara Trump were elected, when emails went out to entire teams at the organization informing them they could resign and reapply for their jobs, or be terminated.

The idea was to ensure there would be no overlap between the RNC and the Trump campaign, which already had robust political and communications teams, and to weed out any staffers who were not fully committed to Trump and the wider Maga movement.

But the threats of termination and the rumored loyalty tests – which turned out to be accurate when staffers were asked in job interviews if they thought the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, though there has been no evidence of election fraud – may have been too aggressive.

In the weeks that followed, although the new RNC leadership quietly extended offers to a majority of former staffers, with the exception of those who worked in the RNC political department, some staffers on crucial teams declined to return, the sources said.

The situation means the RNC has been left without people with deep knowledge of election operations at the Republican party’s central committee, and who were willing to work for salaries far lower than what they could earn in the private sector.

Oops? But of course one thing is going exactly as planned:

Spoiler

The one bright spot for the new RNC leaders since their takeover has been Trump recording his best fundraising month of 2024, now that the former president is working with the committee as part of a joint fundraising agreement.

Trump and the RNC pulled in $65.6m in March, the party announced last week. The party said that Trump, the RNC and their shared accounts now had $93.1m cash on hand for April, roughly double what they had a month earlier as they narrowed the cash gap with Joe Biden’s campaign coffers.

The joint fundraising agreement has been a priority for weeks. By doing joint fundraising, Trump and the RNC can accept donations as large as $814,600. During the Republican primary, Trump had been limited to taking checks with a maximum amount of $6,600 through his campaign.

It's always about the money.

It's a cult...
