GOP chairwoman suggests RNC plans to get 'litigious' over push for national popular vote

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. - Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said on Thursday that she plans on being "litigious" in response to the national popular vote movement.

"I think it is devastating to our country to get rid of the electoral vote. This is what the founders intended for every state to have representation," McDaniel told attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference during a panel with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

"Stay tuned because the RNC is not going to let this go, and there's something coming," she added.

"Let me just say, I have an intention to be the most litigious chair in history," McDaniel said. "I think what Democrats have done systematically to take away our rights, to rig the election system, and this, to take away our votes, our Electoral College votes, and have California and New York dictate who the next president of the United States ..."

Not surprising when one considers the last two Republican presidents lost the popular vote but won the electoral college.

"I think what Democrats have done systematically to take away our rights, to rig the election system........"

If she had been honest, it would have read:

Dear Ronna, I hate to tell you this but many, many people live in New York and California. Dont you think their citizens should have the same power to decide who is president as the fine handful of people in Wyomimg and North Dakota? Of course not. If that happened, your party would have ever so much more trouble getting and keeping power and enacting its hateful fascist agenda. The rest is just smoke you're blowing, isn't it, Ronna?

I often wonder if these idiots believe what they're saying or if they're just playing roles. I'm not sure which would be worse.
