Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC. All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut. In a letter to some political and data staff, Sean Cairncross, the RNC’s new chief operating officer,

FTA — “All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go.”
A good start.

Excellent news. This bloated, ineffective, incompetent and downright hostile to President Trump and MAGA organization needs to be cleaned out from top to bottom. Staff needs to be trimmed down to a fighting weight and focused, focused, focused on electing Trump and MAGA candidates in both the House and Senate and winning a substantial majority in both houses.
I'm so happy to hear this and praying that maybe, just maybe we, our country, will have a shot at victory on November 5, 2024.

Good practice for when the swamp clean-out starts in Jan 2025.

Of course, the Politico would call it a Bloodbath, or a War Zone or something else dire. There's more pearl-clutching at Politico than there is at an 8-table bridge club in a retirement center.

Get rid of the dead weight. Ask " what's your function? Oh, you don't have one? Good-bye."

To # 3 and #4 I like the way you think. That is exactly what needs to be done.

They are going to have to get their act together. They are also going to have to make certain that anyone campaigning as a Republican knows what is required. I have my list here and it comes from Oconto County, Wisconsin.
Government By And For The People
Spending Accountability
Balanced Budgets
Reduction of Regulations
Individual Responsibility & Freedom
Strong National Security
Utilization of Natural Resources
Defenders of Second Amendment
This is a start but I really, really hope Michael Watley and Lara Trump can reform and restore what has been taken for granted. . .

Clearing out the RINO dead weight is a great start. Cutting the budget for fresh flowers, expensive travel, and entertainment for the staff should be next. Any employee who thinks they are entitled should be fired. The new management have their work cut out for themselves but they may generate some interest in actually donating.

This absolutely must be done. The RNC will stab Trump in the back over and over otherwise. I take this as a positive sign. A movement in the right direction. Hope he is able to do the same thing in Washington. Alot of Washington needs to be fired. If they can't be fired, at least remove all their authorization. No building access. No computer access.

Just keep one thought in mind: the louder they scream, the better it's working.

It's a big leap from cleaning up the RNC to draining the swamp that is our bloated federal government. Our federal institutional/organizational dysfunctions did not just appear one day but through decades and centuries of incrementalism, a political theory coined by Charles Lindblom, that posits that institutional/organizational change is most often stealthy and gradual and is often used to bring about radical changes, which were not sold as intended consequences. Non-incremental changes are often the result of war or less often, a result of sweeping legislation, such as the "New Deal." The swamp can be drained but not by any single person, that person being a three-level chess playing genius or otherwise. The swinging pendulum of party politics brings incremental changes to the fore every 4, 8, or 12 years, as politicians from different parties are elected or replaced and majorities in Congress come and go. Economic policies under Reagan put the wind in the sails of the economy under Clinton's watch, the heyday of mutual funds and 401k's, but not owing to a single Clinton policy. GW Bush inherited a sinking economy in response to Clinton's Neo-progressivism. The lag time caused by the political pendulum swings confuses attribution of credit and blame as it relates to presidential politics. The swamp can be drained but probably not during many of our lifetimes.
