Steve Wynn, the billionaire casino mogul who is building a resort in Everett, will serve as the new finance chairman of the Republican National Commitee, the party said Tuesday.

The RNC announced the selection of Wynn, a longtime GOP supporter, in a statement.

“His incredible career has been marked not just by extraordinary business success, but meaningful relationships with his employees, guests, and Americans of all backgrounds,” said RNC chair Ronna McDaniel in the release.

“He understands and shares the national enthusiasm for President Trump, and will bring his passion for American values, his leadership skills, and his track record of outstanding results to our Finance operation. We welcome to our team a true patriot who is all-in to help us raise the support needed to maintain the RNC’s record level of organizational strength.”

In fact, there are so many of them; draining the swamp is no longer an issue.

They've filled it with so many partisan players within the party, that they've simply filled it in and may now walk on their subordinates without getting their shoes wet!

He's a real GOP puke. His 60-Minutes interview back when Bush 43 was making the planet a hell-scape drove me nuts.

He reads "those emails" we all get tht are Fwd: Fwd: Fwd-ed from crazy uncle Larry - and believes them. Really believes them without questioning any of their claims.
