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.

    Maybe the threat of being made obsolete will wake up some people in the GOP who had been blind and stupid followers of Trumpler until now.

        They’re downright anti-intellectuals. They’ve been raging against college educations for decades, talking about how college educated people are part of the elite and look down on the rural hard working people of America. They’ve actively cultivated an uneducated demographic to the point where factory workers will vote for the same guy that’s gonna bust up their union and shut down the factory. This creates a cycle of poverty because manual labor is disappearing more and more. Even miners need an engineering degree nowadays. Companies that need highly skilled labor aren’t going to establish themselves in bum fuck nowhere where there is no investment in education. This leads to unemployment, poverty, even less education etc etc. Yet people will keep voting for it. See the Kansas experiment and Kentucky.

      All insurgency/resistance movements face the same problem: you don’t know who to trust. Trusting the wrong person is your own death sentence. Therefore the majority just sit still doing their best to not rock the boat even though their boat is moving towards the Niagara fall…
