From top to bottom, the national GOP organization could soon be rid of anyone seen as insufficiently MAGA.
First came the internal grumbling about Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.
Then came McDanielās decision to step down from her post at the end of February as she lost the support of Donald Trump.
After that came Trumpās move to put forward a slate of loyalists to take over the partyās top spotsāincluding an election-denying state party chair, a Trump campaign senior adviser, and the former presidentās own daughter-in-law.
Next could come the purge.
āI think within 30 days youāll see a purge of staffers from the RNC, because itās a hotbed for anti-Trumpism,ā Steve Bannon, Trumpās former chief strategist and host of the War Room podcast told The Daily Beast. āThatās the open secret.ā
Skeptical holdouts within the RNC have gotten the message: Their days are numbered.
Answer from Canadian: They can but the Republican name is what lots of people will just vote for. Thatās why the Trumpers want it too instead of making their own party.
*They also know if they split the right wing vote between two parties, the Democrats will win.
For a time, yes. But with 3+ you start having to form aliances, negotiate, compromise, and you knowā¦ Do politics.
In theory at least
I doubt the party that just split will cooperate together.
But really with FPTP they will lose big.
