Party feud breaks out ahead of RNC meeting in Las Vegas

[marmar]

LAS VEGAS — Days before the Republican National Committee was set to convene here, hundreds of Republican officials gathered in a casino ballroom Monday to vent their grievances about the party — and warn that it is ill prepared for the 2024 election.

“We are at war,” one man shouted from a microphone at the event, hosted by the conservative group Turning Point Action, lifting his arm in the air. “Where are the tools? Where are all the little things that the left is doing but we don’t?”

The gathering, in the hotel next door to where the RNC will meet later this week, was the culmination of more than a year’s worth of frustration from some Republicans in and surrounding the committee — about its finances, about its struggles to match Democrats’ organizing efforts, about its four-term leader. A year ago this month, the vast majority of the RNC’s members voted in favor of keeping Ronna McDaniel on for another term as chair, despite an ugly reelection fight that exposed rifts and vulnerabilities inside the committee.

But at this point, many grassroots activists say McDaniel has lost their trust, perhaps permanently. They say they’re tired of losing. And whatever facts and figures the RNC provides to defend its record, the arguments sound to them like excuses. .............(more)

5. Their most precious commodities are time and reputation. LOL

Waste their time. Go talk to them. Get on a mailing list. Ask for literature. Tell them they're going to lose.

6. Golly, the party of grievance is scrapping?

Tsk tsk.

7. When a major political party has NO Platform to run on

And bends as knee to what a petulant child wants, LOSING is the only option.

Whatever the RNC comes up with, they will lose. Putting the Country and its people ahead of politics? That flew out the window in 2015.

Good luck trying to get the people excited about destroying what good there is left by supporting a twice impeached, 4 time indicted future Felon, skint broke Con Man.

8. Maybe it's that stinky albatross around their necks

Could it be dumpy pants?

9. If Republicans are tired of losing, maybe they need some new policies and attitudes.

To start, they could stop passing stupid laws banning abortion, LGBTQ+ healthcare, books, and the teaching of accurate US history If they just have to ban something, start with Trump.
