Why the GOP Should Be Very Worried About Trump’s RNC Purge​

A capricious, self-centered GOP president decides he wants to dump the national party chair and install an even more reliable loyalist.
It sounds a lot like former President Donald J. Trump’s ouster of Ronna McDaniel as chair of the Republican National Committee.

But it’s also a rough approximation of President Richard Nixon’s RNC housecleaning more than a half-century ago.

In February 1969, Nixon accepted the resignation of Ray Bliss as Republican National Chair, and not long after replaced him with Maryland Rep. Rogers Morton, a Nixon loyalist willing to defer to the president’s wishes.
Bliss was different from McDaniel in one important way. His devotion was to party only, unlike McDaniel, a MAGA loyalist who had been handpicked by Trump after his 2016 victory. But both Trump and Nixon were motivated by the same desire — to remove anything resembling a guardrail and establish absolute and total dominion over the GOP infrastructure and its purse strings.
In Nixon’s case, it was a purge that ended up with disastrous consequences for the Republican Party — so ruinous and far-reaching that they’re worth remembering today.

When will The Following wake up and realize Trump isn't in this for party or country, he's in it for himself. Most pointedly to keep himself out of jail and bankruptcy.

Right, the country with the most powerful military in all of human history was almost overthrown with a small group of unarmed people. Do you idiots ever listen to yourselves?

Just becaue rump & Co are in compentent idiots doesn't makes their actions any more innocent..

Libs know trump wins on the issues so they attack his personality instead

What fucking issues doe Trump win on....

Trump is a disaster on issues...

What fucking issues doe Trump win on....

Trump is a disaster on issues...

well, for starters, a record number of Americans were better off when he was President, then since Xiden took office. So there is that, just being better off.

There also wasn't a war in Europe when he was in office.

There was also a country called the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, that doesn't exist anymore since xiden surrendered to terrorist.

Then of course there is the Southern border....

So pretty much all the big issues

Does being better off take the erosion of democracy in to account?

American Autocracy Threat Tracker​

Former President Donald Trump has said he will be a dictator on “day one.” He and his advisors and associates have publicly discussed hundreds of actions to be taken during a second Trump presidency that directly threaten democracy. These vary from Trump breaking the law and abusing power in areas like immigration roundups and energy extraction; to summarily and baselessly firing tens of thousands of civil servants whom he perceives as adversaries; to prosecuting his political opponents for personal gain and even hinting at executing some of them. We track all of these promises, plans, and pronouncements here and we will continue to update them in real time.

We assess there is a significant risk of autocracy should Trump regain the presidency. Trump has said he would deploy the military against civilian protestors and his advisors have developed plans for using the Insurrection Act, said he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act to conduct deportations of non-citizens, continued to threaten legally-established abortion rights, and even had his lawyers argue that a president should be immune from prosecution if he directed SEAL Team Six to assassinate his political enemies. Trump also seeks the power to protect his personal wealth as he faces staggering civil fines, and to bolster his immunity as he faces 91 criminal charges in prosecutions in different parts of the country.

Border security and Energy are prime examples

The US is the largest crude oil producer in the world, pumping out nearly 13 million barrels on average every day in 2023, an all-time record, according to new data from the US Energy Information Administration.

Biden isn’t advertising America’s record oil boom

Biden is not “waging war” on American energy. He’s boosting it.

Trump hints at expanded role for the military within the US. A legacy law gives him few guardrails​

WASHINGTON (AP) — Campaigning in Iowa this year, Donald Trump said he was prevented during his presidency from using the military to quell violence in primarily Democratic cities and states.

Calling New York City and Chicago “crime dens,” the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination told his audience, “The next time, I’m not waiting. One of the things I did was let them run it and we’re going to show how bad a job they do,” he said. “Well, we did that. We don’t have to wait any longer.”

Trump has not spelled out precisely how he might use the military during a second term, although he and his advisers have suggested they would have wide latitude to call up units. While deploying the military regularly within the country’s borders would be a departure from tradition, the former president already has signaled an aggressive agenda if he wins, from mass deportations to travel bans imposed on certain Muslim-majority countries.

See post #450.

Actually, here's the answer you're looking for. In an attempt to reverse the inhumane policies put in place by Trump that slowed legal immigration Biden changed Don's policies. Additionally, due to continued terrible conditions in south and central American countries, and COVID being increasingly controlled due to vaccinations, attempts to cross the border illegally increased. An issue Biden tried to address but a reform bill crafted by Senate Dems and Repubs was sabotaged by Trump.

Biden is anti fossil fuel

Thats the stuff you are proudly proclaiming ss his accomplishment

Maybe in a fit of panic over his poll numbers biden let off on the brakes and allowed the oil companies to produce

But Old Joe gets no credit for that, and will probably do another about face if he gets reelected

As for the illegal alien invasion biden has done more than anyone to create the current crisis

And we wont soon forget it

 

[berg80]

Biden is anti fossil fuel

Biden is anti climate change. If he were anti fossil fuel and had put up barriers for increased oil production how is production at record highs? Simply put, energy security has never been higher than it is under Biden. Look at the price of NG. It's at decades lows because of warmer weather and high levels of production.

Biden invited millions of illegal aliens into the country, because he's humane?

Awesome!

He should run on that instead of trying to close the border now.

If we need to use the military to secure the border, I'm all for it.

Or does he only like the more expensive, less reliable wind and solar boondoggles?
