How much failure is enough failure, because Republicans have had a lot of failure lately and we’re looking forward to more failure next year and perhaps we ought to do something to start getting ourselves on the road to the opposite of failure. And the opposite of failure is the opposite of Ronna McDaniel.
Doubt me? Here’s the kiss o’ death – Frank “Lumpy” Luntz just said, “Ronna McDaniel is the @GOP’s secret weapon. An amazing speaker and smart strategist.”
That seals it.
Good-bye Ronna, it’s time to go.
Adios.
Auf Wiedersehen.
Whatever the hell is Chinese for, “Later, dude.”
It’s nothing personal. It’s just business. And our business is winning elections, which you haven’t yet done. You got appointed in 2017 as the Republican National Committee chair and proceeded to fail in every single election cycle since, including last Tuesday’s. All you do is lose. I was promised exhaustion from the sheer volume of winning, but I’m exhausted by the sheer volume of losing.
You may be a nice person. You may not be a nice person. But I don’t care whether you are a nice person or not a nice person. What I care about is that you are an incompetent person who has consistently proven herself unable to perform the most basic task associated with being the head of the Republican Party, which is to win elections. You have done the opposite. You are terrible at your job. You need to go. I don’t care where. You just can’t stay here.
Next year is important to the rest of us. I understand that, at some level, many in the Republican Party’s professional class, like yourself, do fine being in the minority. Dem overreach makes fundraising easy. You don’t have any responsibility for governing. As your career so far has demonstrated, there’s no accountability for failing to do your job, so losing is a pretty sweet deal for you.
But you know what? This country matters to the rest of us. There are bad things happening, and we need a Republican to fix them. The economy is in shambles. Our freedoms of speech and thought are under assault. Jewish Americans are living in fear on our streets. Hell, everybody’s living in fear on our streets. The Dems are waging lawfare on our currently leading candidate, creating a template for future tyranny. The Democrats want to turn this whole country into Communist Cuba with more dope and less rum. If they get the majority, they will expand the Supreme Court, make DC a state, and probably outlaw actual women participating in women’s sports. This is serious. This country matters to us. We have got to win in 2024.
But you know what? You never win. The best argument for you continuing as Republican National Committee chair is that your track record over seven years is so stunningly, improbably awful that the laws of probability dictate that you have to win soon because it’s almost statistically impossible for anyone to be so terrible. But I have faith in you. I think you can beat the odds and continue to lose in 2024.
I’m still baffled about why the Republican National Committee decided to give you another shot after you have repeatedly blown it. But, then I remember that these are Republicans, and that the stupidest course of action is also the one the GOP is most likely to adopt. I’m also aware that Donald Trump was your behind the scenes endorser and supporter – to those who don’t believe it, I was there and I watched his chief of staff personally lobbying people to vote for Ronna, so don’t tell me Donald Trump had nothing to do with it.
But the fact is that Ronna McDaniel has become a giant embarrassment for Donald Trump because he picked her. Donald Trump should get on the phone and call her and say … well, didn’t he have a catchphrase that he once made popular? What was that? Oh yeah.
You’re fired!
I mean, what is the argument for keeping Ronna McDaniel? She had a pretty good debate last week. I thought it was illuminating and I didn’t feel stupider after it was done, so that made it completely different from the first two debates that were utter Schiff shows. And she talks a good game about learning the lessons that she failed to learn in 2020. She has a Bank the Vote program where she’s going to encourage people to vote ahead of time, although Donald Trump keeps telling them not to vote. I don’t understand that. Whatever. I guess we should just be happy that after the better part of a decade, she’s come around to embrace the obvious.
Maybe we should accept her countless excuses. There’s always someone else to blame. For example, some smart people say abortion is the GOP’s problem. It is a problem. But you know what the RNC chair is supposed to do? Solve problems. I am an Army guy, and I was a commander, and a commander is responsible for everything the unit does and doesn’t do. She’s in command. If you don’t want the heat, don’t take the job. I know there’s always some reason why Ronna should not be held accountable, but I don’t care. I don’t want excuses. I want results. Either put a check in the Win column or put a check in the Lose column and hit the bricks. If you can’t handle that, find another line of work. Win or go home. And take your excuses with you.
There’s no good reason to keep her as chair. She is on the way to losing again in 2024. She has learned nothing. I take a particularly close interest in the legal aspects of the election, since I helped out when she blew it in 2020. I know I keep telling the story, but it matters. When I got to Las Vegas, there was one Republican lawyer there in that critical city. One. There was a whole law firm of Democrat lawyers. No wonder we got beat. If you’ve seen her plan to fix the legal fail, I’d like to see it. We could call it Operation Unicorn, because I don’t think it exits.
And of course, instead of electing top-flight election lawyer Harmeet Dhillon as chair last year, the Republican National Committee decided to rehire this consistent loser. Maybe they thought she’s finally learned her lesson and will do much better next time. Ha! Maybe they hope she will start channeling Goerge Costanza and doing the opposite of what her gut tells her. That would be an improvement. I’ve seen absolutely nothing that indicates she’s learned any lessons. We’re going to get beat again, and then she’s going to shrug and go on holding her sinecure while we are left holding something else.
I’m tired of losing. You’re tired of losing. The Republican base is tired of losing. Yeah, we have candidate problems. We’ll work those out ourselves in the primary. Abortion is an issue. We need to work that out too. But what we in the base can’t work out ourselves are the logistical and administrative operations that our candidates need to win. That’s what Ronna McDaniel is supposed to do and that’s what Ronna McDaniel consistently fails to do.
Why is this woman still in any position of responsibility in the Republican Party? Like I said, maybe the GOP wants to lose. What would it be doing any different if it did?
Why oh why would anyone want to do that???
Wow, he’s gone full anti-Trump. If he wants her to resign, he should go to Trump.
Trump handpicked her for loyalty to him, and she’s pretty much the only person who has survived since he started his presidency.
“Later, dude.”

Hey ho, the Ronna ‘s got to go!!
If she quits, who should the replacement be? I think it should be a conservative who has been a state party chairman and an elected official (U.S. senator, congressman, or governor). That’s why I think Randy Forbes would be a great chairman.
"Once we got that first taste of losing, we just couldn't stop," said Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman of the Republican Party. "Next thing you know, you have to lose even bigger just to match the thrill of that first crushing defeat. It's a vicious cycle."
Over the last several years, friends have watched the Republican Party steadily descend into addiction, with one loss inevitably leading to dozens more. "The Republican Party kept saying it didn't have a problem, that it could quit losing any time it wanted to," said long-time acquaintance Dan Gould. "They even got clean for a few months here and there, like back in 2022 with that Virginia governor. But -- they could never stay away for long."
After experiencing that first euphoric high of losing the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party found the urge to lose just could not be satiated. After losing the Presidency, the Republicans tried to satisfy the losing compulsion by losing the U.S. Senate, governor seats in multiple states, the U.S. Senate again, legislative chambers in five states, Supreme Courts in swing states, and more. "We just can't get enough losing," said Ms. McDaniel, looking at the November 2023 results. "I can't stop jonesing for one more epic beating."
Yes, it’s the “Bee”. Hits close to home doesn’t it.
SHE GOT HER NEW TEETH VENEERS AND INFLATED AND OVER-GLOSSED LIPS (SHE COULD KISS A MOOSE WITH THOSE LIPS@

Ronna’s fatness is an issue, even though it’s being tiptoed around. When you take no,time for the most basic care of your body and health, it tells me all I need to know about how much effort you put into your job.
Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel is like a bad football coach that can't seem to have a winning record, yet doesn't get fired.
The hardest worker and smartest nominee is Lee Zeldin.
He came within 6 points of unseating incumbent Cathy Hocul as New York governor despite the fact that conservative leaning New Yorkers have been leaving the state by the millions since a Republican was last elected governor in 2002 (Pataki).
He drew enough support to have coattails, dragging some New York US Reps across the finish line. Instead of a majority of 1 to 3, Mike Johnson has 4 or 5, thanks to Lee Zeldin.
Lee Zeldin will hold the House for the GOP.
LEE ZELDIN FOR PARTY CHAIR.
