Harmeet Dhillon’s Partner at the RNC, Henry Barbour, Fails to Get Resolution Passed to Ban Paying Trump Legal Fees


Posted originally on the CTH on March 6, 2024 | Sundance 

Trying to convince people is an endless quest, that’s why it is better to just lay out the truth without agenda, then wait until the predictable pressure builds and it just floats to the surface and people find it.  The truth has no agenda; remember that!

You might remember as you read this that Henry Barbour is Harmeet Dhillon’s RNC compatriot.  Then, suddenly, things from last year in California will start to make sense.

(Via The Hill) – The Republican National Committee (RNC) failed to earn enough support from states to bring a resolution to ban paying former President Trump’s legal bills to a vote.

Henry Barbour, who serves as Mississippi’s national committeeman, confirmed to several news outlets that the resolutions he drafted that would have prohibited the committee from covering the former president’s growing legal bills is dead.

The RNC is meeting Friday in Houston to elect a new chair after former Chair Ronna McDaniel announced she would resign on March 8.

Barbour confirmed to Politico that the resolution is “dead” and won’t be voted on during Friday’s meeting because he only received co-sponsors from eight out of 10 required states to bring the resolution to a vote. (read more)

Can you see it now?

lolol… And RNC official Harmeet Dhillon was supposedly a key player in Trump’s legal team in Georgia, and also the primary legal defense for Kari Lake in Arizona.

Can you see it now?

That’s enough sunlight on the RNC Corporation for now…. Moving on. 

The Big Ugly Surfaces in The Story of Mike Davis and Harmeet Dhillon, Contrast Against the Backdrop of GOPe Maneuvers in California


Posted originally on the CTH on July 6, 2023 | Sundance 

I will be as generous in explanation as brutal honesty permits.  This is hopefully the last I will write about the internecine network of California GOPe manipulative politics and the latest episode of republican fraud within in.

Fibber Mike Davis (below left) gave an interview {Rumble Segment Here} which now provides some clarity on his character and the issues of his defense of Harmeet Dhillon (below right), in an effort to protect her from the outcome of Dhillon’s own creation.   Within the interview Davis notes that in addition to her RNC and California GOP professional relationships, Dhillon also represents the Trump campaign as a lawyer.

Within the interview we discover who and why Davis was protecting when he made claims about the Trump campaign seemingly being okay with a California GOP scheme to allocate proportional delegates to Ron DeSantis.  In essence, the “Trump campaign official” who didn’t raise objections to the CA rule change, the one Mike Davis was protecting from scrutiny, was actually Harmeet Dhillon herself. The same Harmeet who signed off on the 6/17/23 email proposal, then reversed after sunlight.

Mr. Davis also admits he and Mrs. Dhillon have a professional working relationship with the Article III Project organization that forms the basis of Mr. Davis’ affluence and influence.  Davis and Dhillon swim in, and benefit from, the same financial ocean.   Here’s the result:

Within Harmeet Dhillon’s lengthy explanation of her backtracking [SEE HERE], in the second segment {SEE HERE} she uses carefully constructed lawyer speak to highlight that she was duped by the other two California GOP officials, Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel.  Mrs. Dhillon will not and cannot say she was lied to, for two reasons.

Mrs. Dhillon carefully says, “I was told by the state party” and “I accepted these representations” in the customary way a lawyer would obfuscate their choice not to say I was lied to.  Indeed, against the inaccuracy of the original justifications by Dhillon, and if we are to take Mrs. Dhillon at her word, she says in her reversal of position that she was misled and mistaken in her opinion by materially false representations of Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel.

Unfortunately, Harmeet Dhillon cannot be more deliberate in her statement because she has a professional role to maintain, and the admission that she was duped is against her brand image.

Harmeet Dhillon represents herself to her clients and her audience as the counterbalance to manipulation in elections and politics.  If Dhillon were to admit she was a victim to manipulation in California election rules and politics, her brand would suffer significant harm.

Given that Mrs Dhillon is supposed to be a subject matter expert in the world of political rules and specifically RNC constructs, she cannot be viewed as incompetent to the rules and constructs she is expected to comprehensively understand.

As a result, Harmeet needs to carefully extract herself from a situation that shows her inept ability, yet simultaneously admit the original position she took was wrong.

Navigating a professional path between duplicity and incompetence is always challenging.  Making matters worse, Dhillon is being paid by the Trump campaign specifically for legal expertise navigating rules and regulations of GOP primary electoral politics.

Despite the wide grin on the face of Marc Elias, getting the rules wrong in Harmeet’s own backyard is not a good look and not funny.  Everything that followed Dhillon’s original really bad GOP rule justification is an exhibition in professional face-saving.  However, this is not the first time Harmeet Dhillon has fallen back on the “I accepted these representations” excuse.

When Dhillon was originally challenged on the 2022 partnership with notoriously corrupt and conniving Henry Barbour in Mississippi, Mrs. Dhillon also defended and justified her lack of knowledge about the Barbour background by saying she was assigned the role to work with Barbour by the RNC (Ronna McDaniel).

It’s never Dhillon’s fault.  Her lack of knowledge or skill within the job of her self-proclaimed political and electoral expertise is always the fault of others. 🙄 Just ask Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson or a host of other incompetence justifiers within the world of political interest. Perhaps even ask voices within the orbit of President Trump himself and you will find a multitude of high praise statements and cover stories.

This is where Lisa Monaco, Marc Elias, Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen and Barry Berke start laughing uncontrollably.

This is also why Steve Bannon’s frequent WarRoom guest, Attorney Mike Davis, stepped in so quickly after the Laura Loomer revelations began to get traction and sunlight.  Davis continued to say the proportional rule change was not objected to by the Trump campaign; yet, Davis would not say who in the campaign was seemingly aware of the CA GOP rule change and was okay with it.

The “Trump campaign official” who didn’t raise objections to the CA rule change, the one Mike Davis was protecting from scrutiny, was actually Harmeet Dhillon herself.

After all, as noted by Mike Davis, Mrs. Dhillon is an attorney for the Trump campaign, and the leaked email containing the position of Harmeet Dhillon, Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel -from three weeks ago- was against the interests of President Trump.  Surely, if the rule change was an issue, the attorney for the Trump campaign would not support it.

It is much easier to protect incompetence by saying “go fuck yourself” to questioning, than to admit a person with a close business relationship has just made a very big mistake.  {DIRECT RUMBLE LINK}

Mike Davis Helps Clear Confusion Over Proposed California GOP Delegate Rules Changes

.

President Trump should recognize the value in what Ms Laura Loomer has just provided.  Loomer likely saved the Trump campaign from something a thousand times more costly than the monthly billing cycle of Dhillon Law Firm.  And Loomer did it all free of charge – because it was the right thing to do.

Consider me done with this episode, unless the critics want to continue engagement.

Laura Loomer Wins – Harmeet Dhillon Retreats from California GOP “Proportional” Rule Position, Now Backs “Winner-Take-All” Option


Posted originally on the CTH on July 6, 2023 | Sundance 

It is difficult to overstate just how impactful Mrs. Laura Loomer was/is in blocking a California scheme that appears to be part of a wider GOPe plan to dilute the primary election delegate distribution against the interests of President Trump and his supporters.

Mrs. Loomer exposed a three-week old plan by state RNC leadership Jessica Patterson, Shawn Steel and Harmeet Dhillon to change the California Republican primary outcome to a proportional distribution of candidates.

Loomer published the contents of a leaked email from the three organizers Patterson, Steel and Dhillon.

As people realized what was happening, all behind closed doors and hidden from public review, outrage began to surface.

Today, after initially trying to justify her position, Mrs. Dhillon reverses course and now supports the ‘winner-take-all’ option. An option that was always available, but purposefully ignored in the plan to deliver the delegates via proportional distribution. As you will see below, Dhillon an RNC rules committee member, claims she was unaware of the rule and led astray by the statements of Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Steel.

First, here’s Mrs. Loomers statement upon hearing of the Dhillon reversal:

RNC CA Committeewoman Harmeet Dhillon is now backtracking. She just sent an email out saying that she supports California’s “winner take all” threshold for delegates, that this is her “personal opinion” and doesn’t speak for Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel? and that she “regrets” that the CA GOP’s back door plan to have a bylaw amendment to remove the “winner takes all” threshold wasn’t communicated to the public and the delegates.

That’s nice and all, but if that’s the case, why was she signed onto the Amendment proposal that was sent out on her behalf on June 17 by CAGOP Chair Jessica Patterson?

In other words, they got caught and now they have to save face.

If this is how Harmeet feels, then I strongly suggest she say so publicly and not support the bylaw change at the CAGOP executive meeting on July 29.

I hope everyone sees they had no plans of ever telling the delegates this information until I blew the whistle.

This is very easy. The RNC’s own rule book says that individual states can keep their “majority takes all”threshold for delegates.

There is no need to change the rules, even if the CA Primary is now earlier. If this is how Harmeet now feels all of sudden, then she needs to oppose the bylaw amendment and keep the language as is so that all of the delegates are awarded to the winner and there’s no way to have a brokered convention.

This is just a very long way of her saying “we got caught doing something we shouldn’t be doing behind closed doors. Now the cat is out of the bag and I know this isn’t going away, so let me try to distance myself from Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel so that I can try to save face.”

The only way this is going away in any capacity is if all 3 RNC reps from California rip up the bylaw amendment and keep the winner takes all language.

There could very well be protests outside of the CAGOP Executive meeting on July 29 unless this is changed. (read more)

If you carefully read the statement made by Dhillon, you will notice a great deal of disingenuous language used in an effort to cover her tracks.  She seems to portray herself as being hoodwinked by the other participants, which, when combined with the attempted defenses by her DeSantis supporting allies, seems to be the way Dhillon plans to remove herself from the sunlight.

The RNC National Committeewoman, who ran to become the RNC Chairwoman and sits on the RNC Rules Committee, now claims she was not aware of the rules and further disagrees with the content of the letter that was decided three weeks ago.  Something apparently happened between the agreement with the other executives and today.  That something was likely Laura Loomer.   Read the Dhillon letter carefully.

.

For comparison, this was Mrs. Dhillon’s position 18 hours ago.

Again, keep in mind Mrs. Dhillon, who ran for RNC chair 5 months ago, is the California RNC Committeewoman, and she sits on the National RNC rules committee.

Suddenly, all of the stuff in Mrs. Dhillon’s prior position is claimed to be untrue in Mrs. Dhillon’s current position.

Yesterday, the RNC rules were “legally necessary” and the deadlines were “looming”.   Today, the RNC rules do not make the proportional requirements mandatory, and there is plenty of time for debate and discussion.  Go figure.

In the bigger picture, Mrs. Loomer’s supernova of sunlight has now put the RNC/RGA and DeSantis team into a position of vulnerability.  There is a possibility that people will begin to understand that all of the GOP candidates are not trying to win the 2024 nomination; rather they are in the race as part of the Big Club plan to gain collections of individual delegates that can be reassembled into one larger delegate bloc at the RNC convention.

California was only one state that was organizing their rules to participate in the block Trump effort.

Keep watching…

Bannon Warroom Frequent Guest, Mike Davis, Continues to Claim President Trump Authorized California GOP Rule Change to Give Delegates to Ron DeSantis


Posted originally on the CTH on July 5, 2023 | Sundance 

Something about this doesn’t pass the proverbial sniff test, and when asked for a direct answer – well, things get salty.

For two days a self-proclaimed Trump advisor and frequent guest on the Steve Bannon Warroom podcast, Mike Davis, has claimed that President Trump and the Trump campaign authorized a California GOP rule change that would permit proportional delegate distribution against the interests of President Trump.

The claim itself made no sense because, if Mike Davis and Harmeet Dhillon were correct, essentially Trump would be approving a GOP change that would give delegates to his GOP nomination competition – namely Ron DeSantis.  Mr. Davis was asked to explain who specifically from the Trump campaign authorized and approved of the plan.

Mr. Davis refused to answer the question publicly, which, as normal, created additional suspicions about the validity of the claim.  More and more people started to pay attention and put the question out, because, well, quite frankly, it just doesn’t make sense.

Instead of responding simply and publicly to the question, and saying who in the Trump campaign knew about, authorized and approved the California plan, Mike Davis responded with the following Direct Message: “Go fuck yourself.”

Apparently Mr. Davis is unable to state who from the Trump Campaign approved of the California GOP rule change.

As a consequence, I’m a little skeptical there is any truth to the claims by Mr. Davis.

In semi-related news, after Mrs. Loomer published the internal emails from three weeks ago outlining the plan, and after a considerable amount of Trump supporter interest in the scheme underfoot in the California Republican Party, the CA GOP was forced to release a statementsomewhat attempting to justify, their plan.

An update on the California Republican Party’s Presidential Primary process:

We recently submitted a bylaw amendment to codify rules for our Presidential Primary election next year, and we wanted to share some context and facts about that process as there is some misinformation floating out there.

The CRP’s bylaws, as currently constructed and used for 2020, are not in compliance with the Republican National Committee’s Rules (RNC Rule 16) for 2024, so to that end, a bylaw amendment was created that complied with the rules. The RNC’s Rule 16(c) states that “Any presidential primary, caucus, convention, or other process to elect, select, allocate, or bind delegates to the national convention that occurs prior to March 15 in the year in which the national convention is held shall provide for the allocation of delegates on a proportional basis.”

Thanks to California Election Code section 1001, as determined by the Democrat-controlled Legislature and Governor, our primary moved up from June (where it was in 2020) to March 5, 2024. While that move put us early in the national primary calendar and on Super Tuesday, it also meant that to comply with the RNC’s Rules, we must change to a proportional model, which this bylaw amendment accomplishes.

If we didn’t make this switch (and before an October 1st deadline), we would be in jeopardy of losing 50 percent of our delegates. As it stands today, California Republicans have more delegates than any state in the nation, and to not comply with RNC Rules would have not only taken that distinction away from us, but also would have greatly mitigated our role in determining our party’s nominee; it also would have lessened the number of delegates that could ultimately go to any Presidential candidate seeking the nomination in California.

This was the same process we followed before the 2020 Primary to abide by the RNC rules. However, it is important to note that the rules we had in 2020 had a sunset clause that only allowed us to use those rules for the 2020 Presidential Primary election.

In compliance with the CRP’s rules, this bylaw amendment will next go before the CRP’s Rules Committee, followed by our Executive Committee, later this month. We look forward to more discussion on this important adjustment as the process progresses.

Together, California Republicans can help determine our Party’s 2024 Presidential nominee and, ultimately, the future of our nation. We do not take that responsibility lightly and are grateful for your ongoing support in helping to put our state and nation on a pathway to success again.

Sincerely,

Jessica Millan Patterson
Chairwoman
California Republican Party

Harmeet Dhillon
RNC National Committeewoman
California

Shawn Steel
RNC National Committeeman
California

The California GOP statement does not address a core issue, RNC rule 3(ii) [as below] that permits the state to continue a winner-take-all allotment so long as the candidate obtains 50% of the primary vote.   This is the element completely ignored in their Republican Party leadership proposal.

Instead, with the timing of the announcement against the backdrop of unexpected sunlight upon their previously constructed plan, the statement reads like the California Republican Party is trying to cover its ass.

Being as diplomatically generous as one can afford, it would appear Mr. Mike Davis, Mrs. Harmeet Dhillon and the California leadership of the Republican Party are being less than fulsome in their statements. 👀😉

Sunday Talks, Harmeet Dhillon Discusses RNC Chair Outcome and Her View of Future


Posted originally on the CTH on January 29, 2023 | Sundance

There is something quite hypocritical about Harmeet Dhillon criticizing the RNC over not winning elections yet taking millions in legal fees from the RNC and never winning an election related case.

Harmeet is as successful a lawyer for the RNC as the private corporation is at winning elections; yet for some reason, people choose not to see it.

Harmeet Dhillon is successful at collecting legal fees from the RNC club, and the RNC club is successful at collecting donor contributions from Wall Street, Hedge fund managers, corporations and billionaires. No one in this process has been successful at collecting ballots, because the club priorities have always been on the money gathering operations, Dhillon’s disingenuous claims notwithstanding.

In this interview segment, Dhillon talks about losing her bid for the RNC chair position, while also talking about the need for structural reform to the way the RNC operates.  The fundamental change needed is accurately pointed out; however, you cannot change a system simply by retooling the same people who have been inside the system when the broken operations were created.  Ronna McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon are cut from the same cloth.  WATCH:

Breaking, Ronna McDaniel Wins Reelection as RNC Chair – McDaniel (111 votes), Dhillon (51 votes), Lindell (4 votes) and Zeldin (1 vote)


Posted originally on the conservative tree house January 27, 2023 | Sundance

The members of the ‘Big Club’ have spoken.  Mrs. Ronna McDaniel wins reelection as Republican National Commitee Chairwoman for the fourth time.

Ronna McDaniel received 111 votes, Harmeet Dhillon received 51 votes, Mike Lindell received 4 votes and Lee Zeldin received one vote.

Florida Governor Ron “Top Gov” DeSantis expended some political capital with a failed endorsement for Harmeet Dhillon.  President Trump stayed neutral in the race, preferring to let the RNC make their own decisions.

CALIFORNIA – Ronna McDaniel won a fourth term to head the Republican National Committee (RNC) during a secret ballot vote by members on Friday, capping off a contentious election spurred by calls within the party for new leadership.

McDaniel fended off two challengers — California attorney Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch denier of the 2020 presidential election results.

She received 111 votes, while Dhillon received 51 and Lindell received four. Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who did not ultimately make a run for RNC chair, also received one vote.

The last three elections have proven disappointing for Republicans: The party lost the House in 2018, lost the Senate and presidency in 2020 and only gained a thin majority in the House in 2022. Many in the party cited last November’s midterms as a reason to elect fresh blood, as McDaniel oversaw the RNC through the last three elections.

McDaniel, in brief remarks, told RNC committee members that she heard the concerns from those who voiced criticism in the wake of the November elections while also projecting unity within the party.

“We need all of us. We heard you, grassroots. We know. We heard Harmeet, we heard Mike Lindell. But with us united and all of us going together, the Democrats are going to hear us in 2024 when we take back the White House and the Senate,” she said to applause in the room. (read more)

The RNC wants money, the DNC wants power.  The RNC uses power to get money, the DNC uses money to get power.  The ideology of the DNC drives their donor contributions, whereas the donor contributions to the RNC drives their ideology.  This outlook explains the subtle difference between the two wings of the UniParty and also explains why Republicans have no ideological goals.

On Eve of RNC Election, Ron DeSantis Predictably Endorses Harmeet Dhillon for RNC Chair


Posted originally on the CTH on January 26, 2023 | Sundance

The pundits are noting the man who never expends political capital on an issue where he might lose, has finally expended some political capital.  However, what the pundits don’t realize is this has all be gamed-out, strategized and planned by the people who manage Ron DeSantis.  {Direct Rumble Link}

First, Mike Lindell announced he was going to challenge Ronna McDaniel for the RNC chair.  This sent a shockwave through the Big Club because the potential for support from President Trump loomed over the Lindell announcement.  America-First Mike Lindell is not controlled by corporate money, Wall Street, the multinationals or billionaire Big Donors who ultimately control the RNC as a big private club.

So, what happened?…  Facing the possibility that Ronna McDaniel might be unseated, a week after Lindell’s announcement, Harmeet Dhillon steps into the picture.

Dhillion is a tenured Big Club member and voice for the billionaire class who fund her.  Remember, Dhillon was paid over $1 million by the RNC, separate and above any costs connected to the Trump legal defense fund.   Dhillon makes her money from the RNC, and if Lindell won the chairmanship, in addition to her friend losing the seat, Dhillon was financially at risk.  Dhillon enters the race as an insurance policy, on behalf of the Big Club donors.

Notice that this interview is pre-taped.  Charlie Kirk (TPUSA) the same group who organized the national campaign blitz after DeSantis’ 5 days in the bunker, strategically timed after the Mar-a-Lago raid, pre-tapes an interview with Ron DeSantis where the managed principal endorses Harmeet Dhillon for RNC chair.  On the eve of the RNC vote, the interview is aired for maximum exposure.  All of this is planned, coordinated, strategized and mapped out in advance.  WATCH:

It’s not organic.  All of this is scripted.  All of it.  Every bit of it.  Harmeet Dhillon is already part of the DeSantis Big Club operation.  The RNC roadmap in 2008 was for John McCain. The RNC roadmap for 2012 was for Mitt Romney.   The RNC roadmap for 2016 was for Jeb Bush, and the RNC, Big Club, Wall Street, Billionaire and multinational corporate roadmap in 2024 is for Ron DeSantis.  None of this is organic.  All of this is scripted.

Once you see the strings….

Ironically, while advocating for Harmeet Dhillon, Ron DeSantis compares the ideology of Washington DC with the extreme left-wing ideology of Harmeet Dhillon’s hometown, San Francisco. lolol I bet the background manager squinted a little at that remark.

The Big Money that Steven Crowder was talking about in his media conflict with The Daily Wire, that’s the big money behind TPUSA. It’s all a conglomeration of Big Banks and multinational financial institutions, all operated within the same ideological outlook, that are behind the financial system that Charlie Kirk must adhere to.

Charlie Kirk, just like Ben Shapiro, is a puppet to the people in power with the money.  They all have something in common.

All of these networked interests and stakeholders must make sure the RNC as a Big Club organization, is protected from those like Mike Lindell who they do not control. That’s the essential underpinning of all of this.  The same stakeholders who were/are opposed to Donald Trump but were forced to back down a little after he became president.

It’s all about the money folks.  That’s all this is about… Multiple millions for the RNC, multiple billions for the donor class on Wall Street and multiple trillions for the multinationals who operate in combination with government.

There are trillions at stake, and everything is about the economics of the thing.

Posting this on the road…. back soon.

No one has put more on the line than Mike Lindell, in order to support the grassroots MAGA movement. Lindell knows what the UniParty is all about. Personally, I do not see much difference between Ronna McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon. Both Ronna and Harmeet are entrenched RNC figures, and both are focused on the donor side of the RNC apparatus.

The RNC wants money, the DNC wants power.  The RNC uses power to get money, the DNC uses money to get power.  The ideology of the DNC drives their donor contributions, whereas the donor contributions to the RNC drives their ideology.  This outlook explains the subtle difference between the two wings of the UniParty and also explains why Republicans have no ideological goals.

RNC Chair Candidate Brags About Bagging Another Whale


Posted originally on the CTH on January 13, 2023 | Sundance

The RNC cares about one issue, money. That’s it folks…. that is the only issue that matters.  Generating money for their own affluence.  That is the single most important issue for the RNC.  On this core and defining issue there is not a scintilla of difference between Ronna McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon.

Ask the MAGA vote if money in politics is a corrupting influence, and the overwhelming majority will say yes.

Here is a case study in how battered conservatives cannot accept what is, instead they pretend it is what they wish it to be.   Harmeet Dhillon is bragging about landing another multibillion-dollar endorsement.  That is her priority. That is her only priority.  Is it yours?

The DNC wants power. The RNC wants money. The DNC uses money to get power. The RNC uses power to get money. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.”

The club members are so entrenched, so detached from the dynamic of representative government, they genuinely do not see the bigger picture of their advocacy.  In essence, what RNC Chairwoman Harmeet Dhillon is celebrating – is the process of a select group of billionaire donors and multinational corporations funding the American political system.

They cannot even see themselves.  It’s just the business-as-usual process.  Dhillon is excited about getting the support of a billionaire donor for her effort to run the private corporation known as the Republican National Committee.  A handful of selected big club donors who control the outcomes of a party-political system that is entirely detached from the base voters at the bottom of the pyramid. (read more)

Harmeet will keep generating these press releases without even the slightest reservation about what she is really saying to the public.

She doesn’t see anything wrong with it.

She doesn’t see a single thing wrong with billionaire owners controlling the political club known as the RNC.

Not only does she not see anything wrong with it, but she’s also openly advocating for it.

The only thing the RNC cares about is money.

That’s it.

The DNC wants to win elections.  The RNC wants money.

To the RNC the elections are a means to their ends (getting money).  Elections are not the ends.

RNC Chair Candidate Celebrates the Billionaire Influence and Corporatism That Controls American Politics


Posted originally on the CTH on January 12, 2023 | sundance 

So much news I want to cover, yet I do not want this admission lost in the foray.

Perhaps you have heard me say this a few times (lol): “The DNC wants power. The RNC wants money. The DNC uses money to get power. The RNC uses power to get money. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.”

Cue the audio-visual demonstration from RNC Chair Candidate Harmeet Dhillon.  Some might call it tone deafness, others might call it failing to read the room, others yet will just sigh and say it is the way it is.  Yet, here you go:  “Wow! I’m incredibly honored to have Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus’s support for RNC chair! He is one of the most prolific, loyal & important donors in the conservative movement.”

The club members are so entrenched, so detached from the dynamic of representative government, they genuinely do not see the bigger picture of their advocacy.  In essence, what RNC Chairwoman Harmeet Dhillon is celebrating – is the process of a select group of billionaire donors and multinational corporations funding the American political system.

They cannot even see themselves.  It’s just the business-as-usual process.  Dhillon is excited about getting the support of a billionaire donor for her effort to run the private corporation known as the Republican National Committee.  A handful of selected big club donors who control the outcomes of a party-political system that is entirely detached from the base voters at the bottom of the pyramid.

What’s the institutional difference between Ronna McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon?  Nothing.  The RNC focus is entirely on generating money, while the DNC focus is entirely about pushing an ideology.  As a result, you get this disconnect as the leadership for the organization places a priority on what….  Money.

The RNC wants money. The DNC wants power. The RNC uses power to get money. The DNC uses money to get power. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology.  The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.

The funny thing to me is that the people in/around the RNC club cannot see the problem within the RNC club.  They cannot see the detachment.  Instead of driving to make the base the source of the funding, and thereby making the outcomes (candidates) accountable to the base voters, the RNC is promoting their worth to a small group of billionaires who have interests and intentions entirely different from the voters.

The RNC Chair candidate is promoting Corporatism and Billionaire control of U.S. politics, and they just cannot see it.

How disconnected is the mindset?  So disconnected Mrs. Dhillon’s team even generated the graphic so she could promote her ownership.  lolol…  {{{heavy sigh}}}  And a big part of the Republican base won’t even realize it.

.

Let’s get the big money problem out of politics by bragging about how the big money likes me better.  You just cannot make this stuff up folks.

(Via Politico) […] “Ronna McDaniel looks forward to participating in the candidate forum at winter meeting to continue her conversations with members of the 168, our party’s grassroots leaders who are eager to unite together and compete and win in 2023 and 2024,” Emma Vaughn, a spokesperson for the campaign to reelect McDaniel, said in a statement.

Dhillon and her supporters have called for a public debate — not a forum, in which each candidate would get to speak for an allotted amount of time. In a statement, a spokesperson for Dhillon said that she will be participating, but that conducting the forum out of public view “sends a very bad signal to RNC donors and grassroots leaders that the current chair is too weak or afraid to debate her own record.”

Lindell told POLITICO he also plans to participate in the upcoming forum. In order to qualify for the RNC chair race and participate in the forum, a candidate must submit a petition by Friday proving they have a majority vote of the RNC members in three different states in order to be nominated, according to party rules.
