Trump takes control of the GOP machine

[UCmeNdc]

The White House and its allies are taking over the Republican infrastructure, one state party at a time.

Now comes stage two of President Donald Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party.

With the Republican National Committee firmly in his control, the White House and Trump’s political allies are now moving to lock down the state Republican parties, installing loyalists in top positions and laying the groundwork for the 2018 midterms and his 2020 reelection campaign in key swing states.


Under the watchful eye of the president and the White House political office, Trump skeptics have been ousted from atop state committees. Lines of contact have been established to gauge the political temperature on the ground and monitor key upcoming races — beginning with the 2017 governor and attorney general races in Virginia.

6. Great news for us!

With Trumps record of turning everything he touches to shit, I'm happy to hear this.

Not ignoring the need for at least two functioning parties in American politics, I look forward to seeing what emerges when the Rs reform after this disaster.
