Trump endorses a new RNC chair. The current chair says she's not yet leaving the job

Donald Trump is calling for a leadership change at the Republican National Committee in an attempt to install a new slate of loyalists — including his daughter-in-law — at the top of the GOP’s political machine even before he formally secures the party’s next presidential nomination.

Current RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel says she has no plans to leave the committee until at least after South Carolina’s Feb. 24 primary election.

Still, Trump is calling for McDaniel to be replaced by Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP chairman. The new co-chair, Trump said, should be his daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

    Critical support to Trump’s plan to destroy the RNC! He’s already done an excellent job of it so far so I have faith he’ll succeed.

      I don’t understand why the “Trump is a deep cover Democrat” rumors never went anywhere. That seems like the kind of thing conspiracy folks would be all over.

        The only thing you don’t do in a cult is question the leader. Any dissonance from the leader in a cult is swiftly dealt with by other members of the cult because of this rule. This is why you see interviews with former members of the MAGA cult talk about how once they started any questioning of their leader, they were quickly exiled.

        Because Trump appeals to conspiracy theorists.

        You also had the takeover of a lot of conspiracy sites with far right people feeding pro Trump theories.
