GOP Rona McDaniel makes a fool of herself one more time. Threatening to withdraw funding for any Presidential candidate who attends a conservative forum Thats right, tick off your conservative base.
As if the GOP can’t shoot themselves anymore times in the foot, let’s try this one on a power trip:
Five Republican presidential candidates were invited to take part in a “Thanksgiving Family Forum” hosted by The Family Leader, set to take place on Friday in Iowa, according to CNN. Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of The Family Leader, is an important Christian figure in conservative politics.
The RNC sent the candidates a letter warning them not to participate.
“It has come to the attention of the RNC Counsel’s Office that several Republican presidential candidates have been invited to participate in an open-press event in Iowa in November at which they would ‘gather around the table to have a moderated, friendly, and open discussion about the issues,’” the Oct. 28 letter obtained by Real Clear Politics said.
“In other words, a debate.”
In order to qualify for the RNC debates, the candidates had to sign a pledge vowing not to participate in any others.
“Accordingly, please be advised that any Republican presidential candidate who participates in this or other similar events will be deemed to have violated this pledge and will be disqualified from taking part in any future RNC-sanctioned presidential primary debates,” the letter warned.
Sounds like a pointless power trip that would have snubbed evangelical voters.
Thankfully, Ramaswamy, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott had better sense than to ignore this important demographic. They all agreed to attend the event despite the RNC’s warning, according to CNN.
…
Perhaps realizing that the candidates hold all the cards, the RNC caved.

Has anyone been following the attacks by Rona who is trying to justify her existence as chair of the GOP? She has been making her rounds on the talkies.
Well, its always good to attack candidates apparently.
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel hit back at 2024 GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for criticizing her over the party’s string of lackluster election results, saying the biotech entrepreneur is simply “looking for headlines.”
“Last I checked, I wasn’t running for president,” McDaniel said Sunday in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “He’s at 4%, he’s looking for headlines.”
Comments made:
“What does Rona do?! She runs to CNN…that tells me everything I need to know about this useless Rino.”
“Ronna, people are still waiting for your answer… your response is …crickets… What have you done or are you doing for your party? Better yet, exactly what is your party?”
Painful to watch. Laura Ingraham socks it to her.
Ramaswamy took a shot at McDaniel and called on her to resign at the third Republican presidential debate Wednesday, blaming her for failing to bring more voters into the fold and calling the GOP a “party of losers.”
“Since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022 – no red wave … We got trounced last night in 2023. And I think that we have to have accountability in our party,” Ramaswamy said, noting the GOP’s latest losses in this year’s off-year elections.
Here in my little corner of the world, I checked on last week’s election returns of mail-in ballots. The GOP was about one third of the number returned by the Dems. So if mail-in ballots are the solution we sure aren’t getting there.
The best of the swamp.
