Dynasty: Lara Trump, New Co-Chair of the RNC, Declares That Anyone Who Doesn’t Support Trump “Is Welcome To Leave””

Dynasty: Lara Trump, New Co-Chair of the RNC, Declares That Anyone Who Doesn’t Support Trump “Is Welcome To Leave””

“Lara Trump warned, ‘Anyone who is not on board with seeing Donald Trump as the 47th president and America-loving patriots all the way down the ticket being supported by the RNC is welcome to leave’.”

There was a time, not so long ago, that the American right frowned on dynasties, disliked and distrusted anointment based on family name. But those times are gone, as Trump’s daughter-in-law takes over as RNC chair (erm, “co-chair” . . . in name only).

Lara Trump is, she says, “not playing games,” get on board or get the heck out.

This is a Democrat strategy that worked so well (um, not) for Andrew Cuomo and his harridan successor Kathy Hochul, who declared that Republicans were just not welcome in New York.

Tone-deaf Trump World apparently thought this was a great move and decided to replicate it. Because everyone knows ultimatums, threats of ostracism, and bullying work so well on the right.

The Raw Story reports:

Friday will mark the end of Ronna Romney McDaniel’s time as chair of the Republican National Committee, and former President Donald Trump is recommending North Carolina GOP chair Michael Whatley as her replacement — with the former president’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump as co-chair.

. . . . During an appearance on “Real America’s Voice,” Lara Trump warned, “I can assure you, there will be no funny business. Anyone who is not on board with seeing Donald Trump as the 47th president and America-loving patriots all the way down the ticket being supported by the RNC is welcome to leave, because we are not playing games. And we have no time to waste.”

She continued, “So, we have to ensure that every single penny of every dollar donated goes to causes people care about. That’s part of the reason that I think I’m such a great fit for this: There’s no one more loyal to Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again movement than this person you’re looking at right here — than me.”

Her job is to be Republican National Committee (ahem co-)chair, not the head of the Donald Trump fan club. The RNC is dedicated to advancing Republican candidates at the national level, this means the House, the Senate, and yes, the top job.

So what is Lara doing? Obviously, this is the same kind of thing the Democrats do. Prop up an unpopular candidate with threats and admonitions (get on board or get out).

Not at all toxic or divisive, right?

If Trump thinks he’s “infiltrating” the beast, he’s not. The RNC is a fund-raising arm of the GOP, not much more, and it’s intended to support all Republicans up and down ticket. Well, it was that way until Lara declared the RNC’s only goal, it’s “one goal,” is the reelection of Trump. This goes beyond saying the quiet part out loud and drives the RNC to that “one goal.”

What is Trump’s plan to take on, to eradicate (or at least hobble), the deep state? There is no plan for that. If the plan is for Lara to get out there and tell potentially gettable voters to get on board with Trump or get out . . . that’s an obviously bad and tone-deaf plan.

GOP voters are not cowed by threats or ultimatums (or we’d be Democrats) and will simply shrug . . . and leave. Just as Republicans flooded out of New York at Cuomo’s and Hochul’s urging. You want us out? You don’t want our votes? Shrug. Okay, not a problem.

Needless to say, people had thoughts.

So I guess that means the writer is leaving the GOP, right?

Sorry: No. To much bullsh*t energy has been wasted with the GOPe doing the dirty to Trump supporters in much the same way that the Tea Party was sabotaged from within by the same kind of treachery. It’s been a way of liquidating the party’s energy by endless diffusion of effort. I agree: No more.

There is a time for all things, and right now is the the time slot for pledges of loyalty and commitment. For the party to move forward decisively and win in November, the weasels have to be sent packing. They’ve pretty much been identified now. Get through this phase, consolidate your purpose, and move forward. Just my 2 cents of course.

    Well, now we know for sure that Trump will lose this election to a senile blithering idiot, Trump is the only Republican who could possibly lose to Biden — again. But when he loses, as he surely will, it will all be because of the Republican Elite, the deep state, election fraud, fill in the blanks. Trump is hated by so many independents that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. And he lost the popular vote to drooling Biden. And he will lose again in November.

      “We” know nothing of the sort. But it seems apparent you want him to lose. And that you believe the groups you mentioned are all on the up and up. So plese, speak for yourself!

      Paddy M in reply to JR. | March 10, 2024 at 9:02 am

      JR thinks mass mailing ballots, having a voting season, and FBI election interference is on the up and up. And clowns that think like JR have been running the GOP for decades.

      diver64 in reply to JR. | March 11, 2024 at 4:51 am

      Since Trump is leading in all the polls, how do you get to that definitive statement that Trump will lose?

    JR in reply to Aggie. | March 10, 2024 at 12:21 am

    What this means is that all of the money the RNC raises will be funneled to pay Trump’s HUGE legal bills. Because of this all of the down ballot Republicans won’t get a dime. It will all go to Trump’s lawyers. All Republicans should refuse to give a single penny to the RNC. Give all of your money to your local candidates and the Republicans who are down ballot. Trump is going to lose to Biden. The best we can do is try to save the country by electing enough Republicans down ballot.

      BriVermonter in reply to JR. | March 10, 2024 at 5:49 pm

      uuuuhhh,no. I am an independent, NOT a Republican. The GOP is nearly as disgusting as The Democrat party. I will be voting for Donald Trump, for almost all local, State, and Federal offices this November. Some conservative, MAGA candidates may get my vote.

      Azathoth in reply to JR. | March 11, 2024 at 11:20 am

      “What this means is that all of the money the RNC raises will be funneled to pay Trump’s HUGE legal bills. Because of this all of the down ballot Republicans won’t get a dime. It will all go to Trump’s lawyers”

      This is a GOPe lie.

      In case you missed it, Trump’s net worth recently went up by about 8-10 billion. Trump can pay for his own legal expenses.

      The only reason there are givesendgoes and what not is because people want to show their anger by donating.

    Aggie, I think you nailed it.

If one isn’t willing to support the nominee, then maybe one should not be in the party.

But really, nobody without a mind clouded by TDS will have a big problem here.

    Disagree with your statement about supporting nominee or get out. Don’t ever say that to a Democrat!!!! Do you really want Biden to be their nominee?!

      mailman in reply to Close The Fed. | March 10, 2024 at 8:53 am

      Yes. democrats absolutely deserve Biden to be their candidate and everyone should be doing everything possible to ensure Democrats are forced to run with him 😂😂

    Suburban Farm Guy in reply to Dathurtz. | March 10, 2024 at 9:03 am

    As a yuuge MAGA patriot I have misgivings on a couple of levels. The nepotism angle IS bad optics, an unforced error, and plays into the meme that Trump owns the Republicans in cult fashion. Is there really *no one* more qualified? Maybe indeed not but still it looks bad. And telling fence-sitters to take a hike may not have the intended result of getting them off the fence onto our side.

      I have concerns, too. I don’t like the nepotism angle. I am not a big fan of “my way or the highway” rhetoric.

      Still, I have fewer concerns about this than I had with Romney running things. I am willing to give it a chance. She might be useful, she might not. My comment reply to CommoChief is how I will judge.

        MarkS in reply to Dathurtz. | March 10, 2024 at 10:05 am

        in some cases , such as in sports where it’s the coaches way or the highway, same for politics, otherwise, chaos ensues

ChrisPeters | March 9, 2024 at 8:28 pm

I thought we were supposed to support conservative principles, and insist that those who deign to represent us support them, too.

Meh, let’s see how it goes for a bit and at least provide some room for Lara Trump to succeed or fail at the RNC. Certainly a part, a big part even, is pushing for the success of the nominee (even a presumptive nominee) in the general election. The other part though is raising the campaign funds to support the tough down ballot contests.

Not for the gimme CD with a R+5 or higher advantage that some like to claim as a ‘successful endorsement’ but the tough CD or Statewide race where it is a D+5 advantage. Those are contests no one wants to fund from the outside.

Raising enough cash to be able to put some funding into those tougher sorts of races is how a large Congressional majority is built. Hopefully that’s what she meant in her remarks. I’m certainly willing to read them in the most charitable light possible until she proves otherwise.

    Dathurtz in reply to CommoChief. | March 9, 2024 at 8:57 pm

    Yep. That’s the real measure. Is money raised? Is it spent wisely to win seats that otherwise would have been lost?

    What role will the senate minority leader play with funding? I seem to remember people being all mad at Mitch over campaign funding.

      herm2416 in reply to Dathurtz. | March 9, 2024 at 9:15 pm

      He withheld funding from candidates we wanted or promoted their Dem opposition.

          CommoChief in reply to Olinser. | March 10, 2024 at 10:17 am

          Yep. The old guard GoP establishment is very uncomfortable with the rise of the more populist ‘new’ GoP. They really didn’t understand the Tea Party was more about knocking out the DC insider go along get along style of governance than just opposing Obama.

          The HoR has been undergoing more turnover in members and has gotten a critical mass of younger, newer members far more committed to solving problems and far more openly populist than existed prior, even outside the ‘freedom caucus.’ The Senate, which has a dozen or so McConnell acolytes and six year terms is more resistant to change on a structural level. It’s damn near impossible to oust an incumbent in a general election, much less a primary.

          Hopefully the next iteration of Trump being embraced by the electorate and the resignation of McCarthy and now McConnell, coupled with new members arriving in seats gained this Nov will be enough of a tipping point for the establishment to get with the program. At least enough to stop sabotaging the badly needed reforms even if they don’t particularly like the populist orientation.

          Plotter1 in reply to Olinser. | March 10, 2024 at 4:28 pm

          Exactly!

Antifundamentalist | March 9, 2024 at 8:42 pm

We need a third option. The Tea Party had the potential, but they allowed themselves to be hijacked.

“on board with seeing Donald Trump as the 47th president and America-loving patriots all the way down the ticket” Why not be on board?

    Because we’re better than that lol/s

    Antifundamentalist in reply to oldschooltwentysix. | March 10, 2024 at 11:02 am

    For starters, he’s too old. I don’t want to see another geriatric in office. For another thing, I didn’t like his business practices back in the ’80’s. He did a better job as President than I expected, even so, he ran the office like a reality tv show. We The People deserve better.

      What other geriatric do you mean? Are you comparing the age or the acuity of the two?

      By reality TV, do you mean transparent? Or that there were so many episodes where the “resistance” screwed up the production?

      In the decline the nation faces, what assurance is there that a younger person would do any better? And just who would that person be?

      In any event, he’s the one. Nitpicking at him because he is not “presidential” in a day and age that is surreal, serves what aim?

So what is Lara doing? Obviously, this is the same kind of thing the Democrats do. Prop up an unpopular candidate with threats and admonitions (get on board or get out).

Trump is unpopular? Only in your and the Dem’s minds.

Unpopular…..DeSantis, Haley, et al. If they weren’t, he wouldn’t be the presumptive nominee.

if your not going support the nominee then you prob shud not be in the party.. support doesn’t mean money IMHO … its supporting the nominee’s (all of em on the ticket) and voting for em. if you can’t do that… then leave ,… and do your belly aching elsewhere ….
my candidate didn’t win in the congressional primary … does that mean I am not voting for the nominee. of course not …
and I am NOT a registered republican. I am a registered Independent . in NC I can vote in either primary.

    With all due respect, that sounds too much like “if rape is inevitable, then lay back and enjoy it.”

    Both parties want blind loyalty to their party.

    What should be happening is the party having blind loyalty to the people.

    People have the right and even the obligation to demand politicians to adhere to the principles upon which a party was founded. If politicians can’t stay true to those ideals, it is they who should leave the party.

    (There is a reason the acronym “RINO” was created. If you are a conservative, you should not blindly vote for someone just because they have an “R” after their name.)

      jqusnr in reply to gitarcarver. | March 10, 2024 at 6:08 am

      that is why we have primaries

        Close The Fed in reply to jqusnr. | March 10, 2024 at 8:42 am

        Your average person just doesn’t understand that primaries are important and will not vote in them!

        Here in Florida, Republicans have “Executive Committees” for each county.

        The Executive Committees gather and have a vote on who the Committee will support. That means that the “winner” of the vote of 50 or so people chooses the official Republican backed candidate.

        The Committees support the candidates they choose through money donations, mailers, events, and positive comments by other chosen candidates.

        The despicable thing is that to join this group, you have to pledge to always vote for the candidate(s) the Committee “recommends.” Honest people are left with the untenable choice of either voting for a person they don’t want to in elections, breaking a pledge or not joining the group that for all intents and purposes, chooses the winner of the primary.

        While the idea of “that’s why you have primaries” is noble, it is also naive in the sense that the primaries are being controlled by a small number of people, and not voters themselves.

however FS if you feel that strongly against Trump … feel free to vote against him and for Biden …
or just not vote for or against him at all.

I was just coming back to post this!

stevewhitemd | March 9, 2024 at 9:26 pm

For Fuzzy: the whole point of a political party is to win elections. Parties that don’t do that are pretty much worthless, nothing more than debating societies.

The Pubs haven’t been serious about winning for quite a while. We’ve seen what the Ronna McDaniel era has brought the Pubs — anemic GOTV, poor candidate vetting, poor party finances, and no party discipline. Whatever you say about the Dems, they sure don’t have those problems, do they?

So let Ms. Trump remind the Pubs of the whole purpose of the party — win elections, and then do something in office. The Pubs could do with the reminders. For better or worse in 2024, Mr. Trump will be on top of the ticket. The Pub faithful need to accept that and vote in November for the ticket, top to bottom. That’s the whole point of the ticket.

    Ghostrider in reply to stevewhitemd. | March 10, 2024 at 1:19 pm

    As Al Davis famously put it, “Just win, baby.”

JohnSmith100 | March 9, 2024 at 9:42 pm

Frankly, I can understand Dems, RINOs, establishment Republicans and Deep State dislike for Trump. I was surprised when we saw so much TDS on LI. I can understand Trump and his family being really pissed off. That is good, because they are vested in burning down disreputable elements of the establishment. Given another decade, DeSantis might have a crack at the Presidency

    It’s not clear that we have a decade left. By the time ten years have passed Democrats, “Democrat-Socialists,” progressives, the Deep State, NGOs, the “Squad,” and myriad others will have had tens of millions of non-citizens voting in all elections, something they’ve begun now. By the time ten years has passed, the country will have seen two general elections, not including this year’s.

    There are tremendous threats confronting the country and free world today; that and the national debt may be the two gravest. The country doesn’t have ten years.

      I don’t have TDS, I look at facts. I live in one of the reddest counties in Texas. During the past primary, turnout was just over 28%, with a 7-1 advantage for Republicans of whom about 97% voted for Trump. that leaves over 72% of registered voters that this moron just told to take a hike. Good luck with the general election.

        Azathoth in reply to txvet2. | March 11, 2024 at 11:30 am

        You don’t HAVE TDS, you ARE TDS.

        Primary turnout is usually around 17% in all of Texas.

        Republican turnout in this primary was over twice that of Democrats.

        Everything you just posted was a lie.

    At least you’re one of the few Trump cultists who actually admit you’re not conservative, which is likely why you’re good with his approval of abortion and gay marriage, and don’t mind this fool telling people who DO have a problem with them that Trump doesn’t want their votes.

Bruce Hayden | March 9, 2024 at 11:39 pm

The problem was that Ronna Romney McDaniel was (of course) Mitt Romney’s RNC chair. She reflected his GOPe, Never Trumper, sentiments, and was more than willing to sabotage MAGA candidates on general principles, which very well be why the Dems retained the Senate last election. Candidates, even if in very winnable races, were stiffed, in terms of RNC funding, if they were too populist, too MAGA. Trump should have insisted in his own people 4 years ago to run the GOP, but trusted the GOPe too much.

    CommoChief in reply to Bruce Hayden. | March 10, 2024 at 10:28 am

    Indeed. Rona McDaniel was exactly as you described. Why in the hell Trump pushed for her to be reelected as RNC Chair even after the ’22 midterm underwhelming performance is something I don’t understand. I could understand pushing for her in ’17 to ‘build a bridge’ reach out to the GoP establishment. Doing so after the loss of the HoR in ’18 and the loss of the Senate in ’20 was not a very good decision and it hurt not just the party but the Nation.

Lara was the latest example of poor decision-making by a GOP with a strong record of poor decision – making. For Dems, I think it will be the gift that keeps on giving. I hope I’m wrong, but we’ll see.

    willow in reply to Q. | March 10, 2024 at 10:19 am

    Biden was the gift that kept on giving in 2020. He is now president. I read so many comments from people who said Trump’s selection of backstabbers was a serious problem. Is Lara Trump a backstabber? Someone who essentially claims. Look, I know why you may not like Trump [list a litany of reasons] and that’s okay! He’s better than Biden! What happens if Biden ends up not the nominee? Jacking him up on meds has to be taking a toll.

IMO Lara Trump appers to be another of Trump’s many poor selections. You have discipline in private, for example, by not having “losers” in policy, planning and operations. In public, you have a vast welcoming tent for all the people who may not love Trump, may not even be Republicans, but realize how dangerous Biden is. The polls are all BS. They do not include for Biden his get out the vote, cheating, discipline or whatever you want to call it margin. To win, Trump must get millions of people to believe he is the lesser of two evils. You will not get them by saying publicly to anyone that “you have to love Trump or get lost”.

Trump is the presumptive nominee. Stop preening and support him, or you are supporting Biden (or a player to be named later) by default.

Enough with the circular firing squad!

Keep harping that people don’t “like” Trump; it’s EXACTLY what the Deep State, the GOPe, Democrats, the UN, the PLA, Hamas, Putin, Jinping, and One Worlders everywhere want to hear. Don’t talk about the border, immigration, defense, the national debt, the Abraham Accords, trade, inflation, foreign policy, drugs, homelessness, crime ridden cities, and crooked elections – just keep talking about “liking.” It’s precisely and exactly what they want you to do.

The Bush and Co. dynasty screwed us over for years and years. That’s the Texas faction of Compassionate Conservatism.

When I see Texans spouting garbage, I remind them of their boy Bush. His lousy ROE for our troops HE sent to fight in AF/Iraq. BUSH for no reason tied their collective hands; sent his shitheel lawyer crew into Iraq on a warfare mission to prosecute them – thus literally f’ing over our combat troops. Great job, Tx.

Bush fashioned the DHS from whole cloth in the immediate aftermath of 911. How’s that working out for us today? Again, thx Tx.

Karl Rove told us to stfu and embrace illegals because those illegals would vote republican. How’d that work out for America?

And then he retired to his Crawford ranch, painted crap art and embraced the Democrat party.

Boy howdy! Wipe yer feet before tracking bullcrap into the house.

    OK, I’ll modify it for you,..”.if you ain’t on board with seeing all Republican candidates win, then hit the road

It’s weeding out the subversive that’s the problem, those who want to stay to gum up the works.

This was a clumsy statement which was needlessly divisive making for an easy layup for critics who say she’s a nepo-appointment (which she is). Had she said, “Anyone who doesn’t want to support the presumptive nominee of the Republican party was probably never really a Republican,’ and left it at that. See, that wasn’t difficult at all.

The reality is it’s very, very hard to win a national election, particularly as a Republican nominee. For roughly 45 of the last 50-years, we’ve chosen people to lead the party who just weren’t very good at politics and this, sadly, is apparently a continuation of that failure. We’ve picked someone as the party leader who was previously chairman of a state Republican party who couldn’t even get a GOP governor across the finish line and his Assistant Chairman doesn’t have any experience in party politics at any level much less any successful experience.

The Democrats have built a juggernaut of a GOTV operation and in response, we have chosen two people to lead the party who have ZERO experience in any kind of GOTV operation. If you can’t recognize the critical infirmities in this strategy, you’re not a partisan. You’re a cultist.

Fuzzy – why do you hate Trump so much?

retiredcantbefired | March 10, 2024 at 11:54 pm

I supported Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump, for a variety of reasons. But DeSantis has been gone from the race since he failed to win the Iowa caucuses. (Nikki Haley stayed in, for reasons that were never clear, but now at last she’s out—and she was never going to get my vote in a primary.)

*Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for President* Events that would change this outcome are: (1) Donald Trump dropping dead before election day; or perhaps (2) Donald Trump being tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison before election day.

Trump now being the nominee, I will vote for him. To do otherwise would be to support the re-installation of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., and the people who tell him what to say.

If Ms. Slippers has a different plan in mind, I am curious what it might be. (I hope Ms. Slippers is not waiting for Trump to drop dead. I do recall her previous denial, in a comment, that she expects him to be removed from the general election ballot via trial, conviction, and a prison sentence.)

In the meantime, I do not know that Lara Trump will have veto power over the decisions of Mr. Whatley—nor that either of them will do nearly as lousy as job as Ronna Romney McDaniel did. So why chop Lara Trump off at the knees for a rather unexceptionable statement made before she actually does anything?

Maybe someone here goes back far enough to be able to remember a competent chairman or woman of the Republican National Committee. I don’t recall that there have been any lately. Against whom is Lara Trump being compared?

We’ll all be able to assess the performance of Mr. Whatley and Ms. Trump soon enough.

“ex” Democrat Fuzzy is upset that the RNC has chairpeople who are going to support getting patriotic Republicans into office instead of wasting millions of dollars to keep patriotic Republicans out.

‘ex’ Democrat Fuzzy thinks Trump is an ‘unpopular candidate –and she’s right, he’s EXTREMELY unpopular to her, and her leftist masters.

The only big question left is, will she openly endorse Biden, or keep up the charade?

I do not believe FS is a Dem.
or has been one recently …I did once support HHH over Nixon …
I was independent then too …
doesn’t make me a Dem ex or otherwise.

    It’s not a question of ‘belief’.

    She has stated that she was a Democrat.

    Now, she is an ‘ex’ Democrat whose actions, for some weird reason, no matter the rhetoric used, always seem to further Democrat goals.

Ah sorry missed that part of being a ex dem.
