Well, team, it looks like Chairperson Ronna (Don't You Dare Say "Romney") McDaniel has fended off a revolt within the Republican National Committee, and squeaked her way to victory today at the RNC meeting at a luxury resort in Dana Point, California.
Okay, it wasn't necessarily a "squeak" — but Ronna lost about 35 percent of her committee members to Harmeet Dhillon, an outlier Trumpster who was interestingly endorsed by Ron "Rhonda" DeSantis just a few days ago. "I think we need to get some new blood in the RNC," Rhonda said. "I think we need a change." Whoops.
(And if you're wondering, the pillow guy only got four votes. Ouch.)
Still and all, despite dragging herself over the finish line with 111 votes, Ronna's victory is not a resounding endorsement. Cracks, fissures, crevices characterize the current state of the Republican elite. And the base is restive. It all means that you're left with a fractured party, a weakened chair, and — although the media will ignore this — Republicans, not Democrats, in disarray.
The most compelling aspect of this whole circus is that the Florida Fascist waded into this fight and appears to have been trounced — despite his party's lackluster performance in the 2022 midterms. And while one would have to view this as a win for Benedict Donald, it also shows that he doesn't have the control over the party he once had.
In short, all good for us! We cats PURR.
