Zeldin says he will not challenge McDaniel for RNC chair
The Hill ^ | 12/07/2022 | JULIA SHAPERO

Posted on 12/07/2022 6:17:53 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Lee Zeldin (D-N.Y.) announced on Wednesday that he will not challenge Ronna McDaniel for the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) top spot but urged the three-time chairwoman to step aside.

“Change is desperately needed, and there are many leaders, myself included, ready and willing to step up to ensure our party retools and transforms as critical elections fast approach,” Zeldin said in a statement.

“However, the issue is Chairwoman McDaniel’s re-election appears to already be pre-baked, as if the disappointing results of every election during her tenure, including yesterday in Georgia, do not and should not even matter,” he added.

Politicians are the scum of the earth, each with their hand in your pocket.

Harmeet Dhillon, a Trump insider, is also going for the RNC Chairmanship, so Zeldin didn’t want to get caught up in a three way power struggle.

Zelden is a team player, and his team hates America.

If her election is pre-baked, then the party is corrupted beyond repair...meaning a third party is necessary.

Pre-baked = the fix is in

Only leaving the GOP and cutting off small donor funding might leave a dent, but then big money can just buff it out

Speaking here as registered Independent since 2020 election crap sandwich was swallowed by the GOP, with lip smacking

Ok, I will tell you....he sure got something,,,,,Ms. Dhillon is going to replace McDaniel. McDaniel is in way over her head and is wasting valuable time.

My guess is Zeldin had a Come to Jesus moment.
Not too long after the GOPe made him an offer he could not refuse. Horse head in the bed or Cash on the line? We will never know, but I cannot help but think it is one of the two.

Heck, the GOPe is as happy as clams right now. They are in a position where they can carp and moan 24/7 on Fox News and Newsmax, while allowing this country to be driven even further down that authoritarian tube. But they can now go back to those free cruises and junkets and rake in those “campaign donations”.

Great, so Rona or a yelling pillow salesman.

Maybe we can have co-chairman. One could talk about Turkish culture and the other about vampires.

We are ******.

Has Trump chimed in?

Trump put McDaniel in that position. As the head of the party, Trump can influence who is named Chair.

Bingo! The Uniparty has shown its face completely. They are now so in control of the corrupt machine that can flaunt their dishonesty and arrogance in our face.

A third party may be necessary, but I doubt they will allow it.

Ronna is a big pile of romney.

She’s done harm to the party and to the nation. She’s incompetent. She has the weakest resume of any GOP Chair in my lifetime.

I’ve been backing Lindell all along.

He may not win, but at least he won’t fold.

That’s bull. He knows Ronna has already secured the votes to take the position again. The only way they dump her sorry ass is for her to resign AS SHE HAD SAID SHE WAS GOING TO DO. She’s just another big pile of romney.
