Chair Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump move to reorganize the party, with an expected cull of 60 members
Donald Trump’s new leadership team at the Republican National Committee started the process of ousting scores of staffers on Monday night, clearing out its ranks as they prepare to bring the committee under the wing of the Trump 2024 presidential campaign, sources familiar with the matter said.
The RNC is expected to cull about 60 people across the political, data and communications departments. At least five members of the senior staff will be let go and some third-party contracts may also be cancelled. One source familiar with the situation described it as an “absolute bloodbath”.
In ousting large swathes of the RNC, the new chair Michael Whatley and the new co-chair Lara Trump – the former president’s daughter-in-law – moved to reorganize the Republican party’s central committee to fall squarely behind the Trump campaign just days after they were formally elected.
Now imagine that only through the whole government. This is why Trump can’t be elected again.
next, imagine them doing the same thing to US Citizens
Patriot Act, ACTIVATE!
Yeah, if he wins, I have to leave town. He will definitely let the loonies round up anything that isn’t a white hetro cis christian
“So you say we get to go to a free camp? Where we can stud–oh, where we can really concentrate? Wow sign me up.”
One thing I didn’t see from the last article is what percentage it makes up. 60 people from my local grocery store is absolute carnage, but 60 people from a larger company like Amazon is barely a drop. Does this one give any clues?
According to this, 434 in North America:

So 13.8% but if the 60 removed are in leadership positions, they will likely remove and replace their staff as well having a knock on effect.
13% is quite a lot even if it wasn’t leadership. Thanks
When you are campaigning to establish a dictatorship, you don’t need down ballot candidates to win.
So ya thought ya might like to go to the show. To feel the warm thrill of confusion. That space cadet glow.
I got some bad news for you sunshine.
Pink isn’t well, he stayed back at the hotel.
And they sent us along as a surrogate band.

Get him up against the wall (against the…).And that one looks Jewish and that one’s a coon
Who let all this riff-raff into the room?
There’s one smoking a joint and another with spots.

Jfc. What the fuck happened to Roger Waters.
I am not surprised by this. Given his track record of surrounding himself with Yes-men, this will more than likely be a bad thing. With the possible silver lining of all that campaign money being wasted on legal defense fees, might just be enough to hurt his reelection chances.
But my honest question is, does this not normally happen when a candidate becomes the presumptive nominee?
The real damage will be done to down-ballot candidates who need party support to mount a serious bid for office.
Seriously, nothing could make me happier than this dysfunctional, demented dick bag taking charge of the RNC. Everything he runs, he sucks dry and runs into the ground. So long as he doesn’t get elected, maybe this is the death knell of the Republican party. Where are my progressive peeps at to break off from the Dems and form a new party and get shot on track?
No, I don’t recall the entire leadership of the party changing when the nominee for President is firmed up. Normally, the party committee’s job is not to get any one person elected, it’s to organize the fund raising and spending efforts to give the party the best shot at all the major races, from President to Congress to Governors and State Legislators. Since the President is the biggest job on the ticket, you always expect the party leadership to back their nominee, of course. But I don’t recall changes this major this close to the convention.
This is likely an attempt to make sure the RNC pays his legal bills, and doesn’t move to abandon him, even if he gets convicted.
Yes citizen, it is all quite normal. Nothing for your ilk to fret about, now get back to work. Have you had your mandated morning dose of soma yet? Big brother loves you.
Gee, where does this sound familiar?
The only difference in those purges,they were executed.
Edit: You know, I do wonder how they will kill off political opposition. It’s pretty much a certainty that we’ll see it as it happens.
Don’t rule that out as a near future possibility.
It also happened after Hitler had consolidated power at the top of the government.
At this point, the only thing that surprises me in this situation is that the establishment Republicans are surprised by this.
I wonder what they thought was going to happen.
They thought he would be easy to control. They didn’t really fully understand the implications of him being a psychopath, and they definitely didn’t fully understand the implications of the mobster tactics and ethos he’s very obviously used over the course of his entire adult life.
Fuckem all.
And somewhere in that nexus, the jihad raged through the gaps. I must not allow that, thought Paul.
Republicans watching this saying ‘this is fine’
