Since 2016, I've been saying, "Donald Trump did not take over the Republican Party, he fit right in." Well, he makes a liar out of everyone else, starting with himself. I suppose my time was bound to come.
Effective February 24, after the South Carolina Primary, Mitt Romney's niece, Ronna Romney McDaniel, is out as Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee. Lara Trump, Eric Trump's wife, is in.
This is typical of Dumb Donald's Mob-boss mentality. But it's also loaded with the potential for electoral disaster for the Republicans. Not just because she's totally unqualified for the job, but because of what would happen if she did her job exactly the way her father-in-law wants.
In an interview with right-wing propaganda website Newsmax, Lara said, "Every single penny will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC," namely the election of Donald Trump to another term in the White House.
The only way that happens is if he avoids criminal conviction. The only way that happens is if he can delay his trials until after the election on November 5.
Trump isn't running for President to do what's best for the country. He's running to do what's best for himself: First, stay out of prison; second, to be a dictator.
And, by the way, he doesn't look like Elvis Presley. Even the 1977 version of Elvis was thinner. He was probably sweating less than Trump is now, too. We knew Trump wanted to be America's king, but we didn't know he wanted to be the King of Rock and Roll.
He said he was high-class. Well, that was just a lie. He ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time. Well, he ain't never caught a rabbit, and he ain't no friend of mine.
Anyway, Trump's way has always been to take money meant for things he was promoting, and spend it on himself. He's going to hijack the RNC's funds to pay his legal bills. That's not a crazy prediction, it's what he does. It's a new variation on what he's always done.
"No one tell her the RNC is supposed to be in charge of assisting the entire party at the federal, state and local level. Not just Trump’s personal slush fund," quipped attorney Bradley Moss.
Republican strategist Bobby Trivett, a self-acknowledged supporter of the last remaining other Republican candidate in the race, former Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina, argued that Lara Trump has "no interest in Republican Victory up and down the ballot, she just wants Trump legal fees paid."
How many Republican candidates for office in 2024 are going to lose their races by 3 percent or less -- races they could win, given the right spending, the right message, and maybe also a lucky break -- because they didn't have the campaign funds they needed, either because they didn't kiss his ass, or his ring, enough?
How many candidates are going to lose based on not having enough money, because he looted the campaign fund to pay his legal bills?
The chickens are coming home to roost, and Trump is Colonel Sanders. And that is the closest he should ever again be allowed to being commander-in-chief.
Actually, if Trump were the Colonel, he'd have given the Russians the recipe, with all 11 herbs and spices.
