Your plan is way, way too smart.

If the RNC was that smart we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now. We wouldn’t have gotten here in the first place.

Might as well make LAURA BUSH the Chairwoman of the RNC!! DEMOCRAT.

I think just blaming the RNC is too simplistic. The problems leading to this political situation are institutional/systemic in nature and stretch back decades. At the very least to the point (difficult to define in terms of the actual "when") where Conservatives essentially checked out of academia, and by extension the Media and ceded it to Liberals.

The result is a double-standard environment where Republicans/Conservatives are able to be tarred through guilt-by-association tactics that cannot be effectively used against Dems/Libs ... simply because there is no effective forum or mechanism to do so. In a perfect world, there would be a way to put Mark Preston up against a figurative wall and force him to reveal and explain HIS associations. For example, were he a member of JournOlist.

I'm not saying, of course, that the RNC distancing itself from Breitbart is intentional from the standpoint I mention. I'm just describing a benefit that can be derived from it. Call it "making the right decision for the wrong reasons" ... but with a net beneficial outcome.
