During a series of desperate attempts to obfuscate and defend fellow lawyer Harmeet Dhillon, unfortunately Mike Davis joins the ranks of former Bannon Warroom members Matthew Tyrmand and Steve Cortes. It will be interesting to watch how Mr. Bannon responds to the latest sunlight upon his network of allies.
The issue started with Laura Loomer doing an excellent job exposing a scheme within the California GOP to change the delegate apportionments to proportional as a result of the state change in primary dates. California representative to the RNC, and former RNC Chairwoman candidate, Harmeet Dhillon then lied about the construct of a rules change. {GO DEEP}
Mrs Dhillon claimed the California changes forcing proportional allocation were not optional. Mrs. Dhillon claimed the ability of the CA GOP to maintain “winner take all” delegate allocation no longer existed. [below left] However, that claim is false. As reflected in RNC rule 3(ii) so long as the state keeps a “votes received” threshold above 50%, the delegates can be apportioned via winner-take-all. [below right]
The bottom line is really simple. Laura Loomer caught on to the California GOP constructing a plan to deliver a disproportionate delegate slate to Ron DeSantis, the presumed runner up amid a contest that President Trump is dominating.
The California GOP and members of the RNC then attacked Ms. Loomer, initially denying the reports, not knowing Loomer possessed leaked emails from the organizing team that included Harmeet Dhillon. Loomer then published the emails which highlighted the scheme, in response Dhillon lied saying the CA GOP “must also change a proportional method“, when the RNC rules [3(ii)] do not require that.
The truth is basic, like many states after seeing Trump at 50% or higher in the polling, the CA GOP wanted to have proportional distribution. Dhillon et al proposed a rule change supporting that proportional approach and ignored their ability under RNC rule 3(ii) to keep winner take all.
After the CA GOP were called out, things got interesting.
Suddenly, a group of MAGA affiliated entities like another attorney and Bannon Warroom frequent guest, Mike Davis, came to the defense of Harmeet Dhillon. Some GOP defenders even claiming that Mrs. Dhillon likely didn’t know the RNC rules, despite Mrs. Dhillon sitting on the RNC rules committee, running for RNC chair this year, and being the lead GOP representative from California to the RNC.
Mr Davis went on to claim that both himself and Mrs Dhillon were key advisors to President Trump, and it is would not make sense for Harmeet to do anything to undermine her client, Donald Trump. Some example Tweets below.
All of this ignores the core issue that Harmeet Dhillon lied in her excuse/justification for supporting a California proportional delegate rule change.
Accepting the claim that Mrs Dhillon and Mr Davis are advisors to President Trump, the question about why Trump wouldn’t challenge a rule seems a little silly.
First, the leaked emails show that Trump was not likely even aware of the scheme and proposed California plan; and second, if the people carrying out the plan are also -not coincidentally- advising President Trump, why would he challenge it/them.
Adding the rather lengthy background of Mrs. Dhillon into the foray, including her prior advocacy for notoriously corrupt Henry Barbour of the Mississippi clan and recent revelations of what might be considered profiteering as outlined by recent news reports, suffice to say the tendency of many to afford the RNC and Mrs. Dhillon the benefit of doubt is, well, shall we say, exhausted.
Indeed, if it had not been for the sunlight provided by Ms. Loomer and the leaker of the plan, the California GOP would have likely proceeded without anyone even knowing about the issue. That purposefully hidden context puts a rather dubious hue on the entire plan of the insiders including Dhillon.
And that’s where the context of other RNC officials coming to the rapid response defense of Dhillon becomes more revealing. As noted in the response from Arizona National RNC Committeeman and Turning Point Action Chief Operating Officer, Tyler Bowyer.
Plebes just need to keep their heads down, insert vote, pull lever, get pellet and go back to sleep.
Apparently, we are supposed to leave the work of deciding the candidate to the professionals in charge, after all the process is “super convoluted”. Unfortunately for Mr Bowyer the days of not challenging the powers that control the election outcomes are over.
It might frustrate the folks who gain influence and affluence from the business end of the U.S. political system, but We The People are annoyingly awake.
Starting to see some “Any gop candidate but Trump!” ads already.
Lara Loomer IMO is a lunatic who is trying to curry favor with a President by being the biggest pain in the ass against anyone who isn’t 100% blind with support for Trump.
She has made some of the vilest attacks on Republicans imaginable.
Donald Trump and MAGA are in no position to alienate anyone much less people actually support Trump but might not agree 5-10% of the time with his positions.
If she spent her time taking down democrats it would be a lot more helpful than tearing apart Republicans.
I will never admit, unless the evidence is irrefutable, that Hermmet would do anything to undermine Trump.
I don’t know who is behind this post, but I question the person’s loyalty to Trump. Seems like the intent here is to sour support for Hermeet.
Laura Loomer, seems to be a good person, but lately she strikes me as a nut case in the way she presents her side of an issue.
Any mention of who is paying for the ads?
Since Cortes left, Mike Davis is the best guest host that WarRoom still has left. One of the best legal minds on TV, and WarRoom is not his only gig.
As I mentioned in a post just a couple of days ago, though, he’s recently been appearing exasperated at Trump’s actions, in light of the charges he’s under.
Won’t surprise me if he gone from WarRoom soon too, and replaced by Laura Looney or Roger Stone LOL.
Like her or not, she called MGT out before anyone else. So many republican infiltrators get close to Trump only to sabotage him, many with WEF ties, ( like his own daughter). And it’s just not happening to Trump but anyone trying to stop this demonic takeover around the world.
Sundance attacking Mike Davis support of Harmeet in the face of nutcase Loomer’s attacks is more than my poor mind can fathom.
Sundance has done one complicated double backflip summersault into the matrix here.
PS I think Harmeet would have been a huge improvement, but given how it came out it is hard to see how Trump’s support would have gotten Rona out, however devoutly desirable that outcome. So he would have pissed off the people he has to work with even if they detest him. They also have to reckon with him. He has enough troubles dealing with these slimeballs.
Oh, you again, shocking, another anti-Trump post.
So you’re unable to discredit or refute the information provided,
so you will attack loomer instead, and head fake people into thinking the information isn’t true.....
Sort of like how desantis supporters won’t acknowledge desantis lies, plays games with people and is corrupt and has fraudulently transfered 83 million in campaign funds....
but throw people off on a tangent and mis-direct people’s arguments with something about Trump, when something bad about desantis is brought up.
Look at how confusing this situation is, Trump backs McCarthy for Speaker of the House, he now is despised by many on the MAGA side, Lara Loomer is attacking MTG are both supposedly huge Trump supporters, it’s a confusing mess of infighting which does nothing to help the cause, the reason is, many around Trump are doing nothing but trying to curry favor and secure a position while backstabbing competitors and to advance the cause of MAGA, basically they are nothing but Grifters, the more I watch this, the more it becomes apparent most of the people around Trump are grifters.
Evidently you missed her many attacks on democrats, including at Pelosi’s house and confronting the brother-marrying muzzie back when there was still time to keep her out of congress. Since so me Republicans are guilty of the vilest sort of acts, attacking them in like form isn’t wrong.
As usual, Sundance congratulates himself on being the smartest person in any room he happens to be in. Sounds like you buy his be.
actually, it’s anti-Lara Loomer Post, at least give me credit for the criticism.
You’re quite right and if Laura Loomer exposes the corruption of the so-called thought “leaders” more power to her! Knowing with certainty the corruptibility of man, I’m not a fan of the worship of any leader or celebrity (including Trump). But I’m sticking with him “to the bitter end!”
Ask yourself this, who did Trump support for RNC Chair ??
Ronna McDaniel, who ran against Ronna McDaniel, Harmeet Dillon who are Trump supporters now attacking ??
Harmeet Dillon, it’s not a coincidence.
I stand by my opinion, Lara Loomer is a grifter who is trying to curry favor with Trump by attacking Republicans.
They’re plenty of others doing the same thing.
Ask yourself, what was probably the biggest weakness of the Trump Administration ??
It was in the people he trusted and nominated to important positions. He’s doing the same thing right now in his private life.
Remember Michael Cohen, a scumbag lawyer who Trump used for years, who got thrown under the bus and attempted take Trump down. Why associate with such a scumbag.
Actually I think a bigger grifter than Lara Loomer is Mike Lindell, god bless him, he’s gambling his entire company on a fantasy.
Maybe.
On the other hand, possible behind-the-scenes GOPe shenanigans sabotaging the winner-take-all result for the California primary is an actual news story. Loomer produced documentation for her assertions, and the response, like yours, is ad hominem.
Either it's true or not, and the Loomer critics haven't disproved jack.
Still trying to distract from the information.
Do you have anything to refute or say the information that loomer provided, that says there is an effort to split delegates to give them to desantis, and make it harder for Trump to win the primary election?
Otherwise, you’re trying to fool FR with lies and mis-representations.
