I guess you missed the part where Mitt Romney's niece runs the party? Nobody is being thrown out for being against Trump while she's there.

The RNC chair doesn't decide who is a member of the party. The RNC is basically a fundraiser and the body that decides the candidate for President.

I'm not holding my breath that the RINOs will do anything either, but that dumb bitch Romney can't stop it if there's support among the party to expel these fuckers.

The real problem is if they are expelling RINOs, 99% of the GOP leadership would be expelled and I don't see them expelling themselves.

Okay, I'll be more specific: "throw out" = not nominate a candidate, and cut them off from funding, and be asked to leave the caucus. McDaniels has all the power here.

The RNC could have Bernied Trump, but luckily they're too cowardly for that - but they could cut candidates like Murkowski out by not nominating her, and not connecting her to funding. And, they can freeze her out of the caucus with backroom dealing. That actually happened in Alaska a decade or so back, a slime ball RNC carpetbagger was running, and he was so bad the RNC state party officials froze him out, and nominated someone else for the office. (I forget which, it wasn't governor)

And no, I don't expect any of that to happen, either, with McDaniels in place.

The republican party's donors are withdrawing funding, they have a choice that has to be made by 2022 with these people or its all drying up.

But that’s the exact strategy we need. We just need a political “license” like buying a business license for the industry where new comers are usually hard to get in.

Trump put her there. He likes her. He credits her with his Michigan win from 2016. Her name's Ronna McDaniel but she used to go by "Ronna Romney-McDaniel" until Uncle Mitt proved what a bitch he was. Here's a quote I found from The Hill:

Ronna Romney McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee and Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) niece, split with her uncle Wednesday after he announced he would vote to convict President Trump on one article of impeachment.

“This is not the first time I have disagreed with Mitt, and I imagine it will not be the last. The bottom line is President Trump did nothing wrong, and the Republican Party is more united than ever behind him,” she tweeted.

“I, along with the @GOP, stand with President Trump.”

She's always seemed very supportive of President Trump to me.

She is useless at her job. Her state was stolen in both 2018 and 2020. What did she do? She is weak to and an election fraud denier. She relies on Trump too much.

She has no choices, her job is to run around and collect money and the people who they get that money from are pulling it from the anti trump crowd.

It's difficult to say, you would like to take her at face value and of course it's kind of unfair to judge somebody based upon their uncle but at the same time it's very hard to trust people who were born into political families.

She won't be there for long. The number 1 job is fundraising, which under Trump, made her the belle of the ball. Now? Donations are going off a cliff. It's Feb 16, she'll be gone by September.
