"Blood bath at #RNC" 1/...

"Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the RNC began the process of pushing out dozens of officials.

All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut" #Trump https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/11/bloodbath-at-rnc-trump-team-slashes-staff-at-committee-00146368

2/ He wants power and $$.

Just as he did in the WH.

Blather, wince, repeat.

3/ I'm not gleeful about this, although I get why some of you are.

Fascism isn't funny, at least, not to me. But since the RNC is broke, I think they have about $8 million now? this will indeed hurt down ballot races for the GOP.

Whatever money there is will go to Trump's legal fees and campaign, or whatever else he needs (more ketchup?).

But I'm not laughing. I'm alarmed. Power/$ = the goal. He's aggressively pursuing those.

Democracy suffers again.

The unfortunate part of it is, I don't think there's any quick way to separate Trump from any foreign underwriting. I think he'll have access to as much as he can spend as long as there's any significant chance he can win.

The down-ticket candidates on the Republican ballot will take the brunt. Trump's burning it all down, before he's dragged away.

At the end of all this, I half expect the biggest joke of all. If Trump can ever wrap his mind around the damage he's caused the Republican Party, you know he'll claim he did it for the Democrats.
