Trump tightens grip on US Republican Party as daughter-in-law takes key post
Donald Trump cemented his grip on the Republican National Committee on Friday after his daughter-in-law and another ally assumed top leadership posts amid a debate among members over whether the organization should help pay his legal bills.
RNC members meeting in Houston voted to appoint North Carolina Republican Party head Michael Whatley and Lara Trump as chair and co-chair of the organization, which will play a key role in marshaling voters and funds for the Nov. 5 general election.
The move comes after Trump swept the Super Tuesday primary contests, prompting Nikki Haley to drop out of the Republican race and all but assuring the former U.S. president will be the nominee and face off against President Joe Biden, a Democrat.
"The goal on November 5th is to win, and as my father-in-law says 'bigly'," Lara Trump said, promising that "every single penny of every dollar raised" would go toward the goal of winning the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate for Republicans.

How embarrassing for Republicans, that their party is being gutted from the inside by a poor, orange, dementia-ridden blow-hard. He's stealing from their coffers to pay his debts and killing off the RNC to make room for the Trump Party.
Really wonder how centrist Republicans feel about it. Abject horror? Or do you guys support it?
Centrist republicans are now called democrats. Also democrats are right of reagan. The overton window sits on a shelf next to the actual window.
Regan is literally called a RINO. This is the reality we are in. Regan is too far left for the modern republican party.
Jesus is too far left for the republican party
If any of those fucks actually read the bible they would be burning it.
There's a passage in the Bible where Jesus states exactly what the most important rule is, and why. Yet too many Christians argue with it because it's too easy (or too hard, for them) to follow.
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew22: 36-40
Don't forget about the giving your wealth away parts
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
It's easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven was always one of my favorites.
When I was younger my fav was from John ... Those without sin cast the first stone.
Always has been.
Jesus might have been tolerated prior to Southern Strategy.
What happens if they ever figure out he’s a Jew?
If they find out most miracles were performed in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon? Ugly is going to be the ugliest we've seen, so far.
*Reagan
Eh. He isn't worth getting his name right.
I like to call him “that asshole who liked to watch the piss trickle down.”
I am a fan of 'the only man I laugh at when I think about him ending up with dementia'
There’s a second one coming right now, if he’s not there already
His kid Ron was on Conan's podcast not long after Jan 6. They both make fun of his dad and it's hilarious. Ron even does impersonations of him.

Right of Reagan except for some light union support.
Possibly even right of Reagan there.
Yet conservatives may be shocked to learn that their idol Reagan was once a union boss himself. Reagan was the only president in American history to have belonged to a union, the AFL-CIO affiliated Screen Actors Guild. And he even served six terms as president of the organized labor group. Additionally, Reagan was a staunch advocate for the collective bargaining rights of one of the world’s most famous and most influential trade unions, Poland’s Solidarity movement.

I don't think that outweighs him firing the air traffic controllers for going on strike.
Reagan was the fucking worst asshead politician of my lifetime. Just god awful. And him firing the air traffic controllers was shitty. But that was on that shitty union. I'm saying that as a very pro-union person, who worked for a couple of decades for a union. That doesn't mean there aren't shitty unions out there.
I remember seeing something a few years back that said all of the American rich dudes wanted Reagan as POTUS because he was a great public figure head that could be manipulated with "bribes" and the simple act of rubbing elbows with them on occasion.
Essentially he was easily placated and a good soldier to do their bidding.
I know about this. He is the worst kind of person: he got his and then made it to away for the rest.
