Just heard about this today, apparently from two days ago.

Figured I would post it for the lols

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-sho ... -rcna59136

I for one would like to offer an unrestrained, vocal, and extremely enthusiastic endorsement of MyPillow Mike for RNC Chair!

I doubt No Neck Ronna is going to lose any sleep when she puts her head to…pillow…about this candidacy. Guess he needs publicity to sell a few more pillows to cover his legal bills.

Love this journey for Ronna. Maybe the RNC can elect Kanye! Really lean into Kanye. Elon. Trump.

The Griftstakes are officially on!!

One shudders to think of what this will do to the RNC's annual cocaine budget.

Rick Scott already stole it all

Did he finally release all the election "cyber" evidence he has from his "real time crime desk"?

If this means his infomercials will stop airing, I am all for it.

Curious to see what Zeldin does.

This type of stuff is really sad, because one party rule is almost as bad as no government at all. We really need multiple parties in order to succeed as a country. The mindless repeating of slogans is what you get in single party ruled countries, because discussions aren’t allowed. Somebody like Mike Lindell is not the type of person who would understand the important conversations. Nor could he be trusted if he did.

He probably will win.
Split the crazies between McDaniel and Lindell, and Zeldin comes out on top.

I think the establishement is pushing Lindell to run for that Reason.
It could backfire. I think there are far more Trump acolytes in the RNC voting membership than most count on, and Lindell could wind up with the seat.

In a democracy, good government thrives on a strong opposition to hold it to account.

The retreat from facts by the headline grabbing parts of the GOP has really presented a challenge in the US. The sooner they sideline loons like Lindell and move to good governance the better for the US and the western world.

Zeldin making an announcement the day after the GA runoff on what he is doing.

Look how long they have been lining up behind election deniers! Sidelining loons is not part of the GOP playbook. I say: Let them fight it out. Split up the GOP and see what happens.

He’s not running. But he thinks McDaniel should step down.

He’s not wrong. She’s been a disaster for the GOP. The only thing she won them was a five seat House majority.

No, he isn't. Other than fundraising, she's been terrible for the GOP. Can't think of any committee chair who's had as bad a losing streak as her. But Zeldin didn't have a shot in hell of beating her since Trump's stacked all the delegates.

If such a thing is possible, they need somebody who can kiss Trump's ass and at the same time make him realize that he's better use to them in a supportive role. He realizes that now, or only after it's too late and be of no use to the RNC.

Republicans are seeing the error of their ways. They are regrouping to make racism and hate palatable. Like they did in the 1990s but on steroids. They are going to ditch their once beloved leader and replace him with someone who can convince a majority that hate is good. I doubt Lindell can do that. He simply shouts with a smile and a cross hanging from his neck. They need someone who can sell poison while convincing people it is a cure.

This is a dog whistle and a good part of the reason Trump won in 2016, the middle of the electorate sees through this weak attempt to smear everyone of an opposing party with the "extremist" "hate" moniker. Better have some substance going into 2024. As for the RNC they are blaming the current RNC chair for losses in the midterm which I think they need to look at other areas they failed in. An RNC chair's purpose is make it easy for all RNC candidates to run their campaigns, after that it's up to the candidate to win the election. Not the RNC chair.

They should definitely take a look at what they're doing wrong in so far as appealing to a broader electorate is concerned. If anything, the midterms showed that the current approach doesn't work. I seriously doubt Lindell will do anything to quell how they're viewed and would more than likely be a disaster.

Trump "in a supportive role" is a thing that does not exist as he only supports one thing: Trump. I honestly have no clue how republicans can thread the needle of retaining Trump's supporters without their messiah. He will burn the entire party down in a heartbeat. And I'll bring my marshmallows to roast over the embers.

Using Republican's own words to show American voters who Republicans really are is a "dog whistle" now? Calling a spade a spade and announcing the truth is bad?

To the extremist wing of the G.O.P, yes... those truths are bad.

You post and your words did none of that. It was just more conjecture and gaslighting. It would be easy for me to say the same about the whole Dem party but I know not every member shares the same radical views as the base. Manchin and Sinema are still common sense law makers.

My question is (as you seem to be a fan of his): why do you think Zeldin doesn’t want the RNC seat?

Blocking laws to help everyday Americans is "common sense". Got it.

Still does not explain why Democrats using MAGA words to tell Americans who MAGA Republicans who they are is bad. Showing the emperor has no clothes is now bad because.....?

You basically called the whole GOP racists. It's false and gaslighting and you should abandon this practice. I could call the whole DNC antisemites since Omar is one but I know better.

He happened to be a state Senator of mine before he was a Rep of the district next to mine. I was lucky enough to have breakfast with him since my friend who was CA GOP chair at the time put it together. He happens to be a decent dude. As for the RNC chairmanship who knows. Now since Harmeet Dhillon has swooped in and is gaining steam maybe the RNC felt a woman of color from CA would play better or they are fed up with Romney and are punishing his daughter. I feel Zeldin was pressured into not running as this process of electing a Party chair is usually predetermined. I hope he finds a path back into office somewhere. Though NY is sinking fast.

That makes sense. I appreciate how he highlights the plight of parents w/children who have congenital problems.

I was hoping he would get it because the antisemitic moron wing of MAGA would come out of the woodwork and get destroyed by the decent conservatives remaining who don’t tolerate that crap.

At this point, I'd really like to see a grassroots campaign to highlight Mike's candidacy, especially if it were done by MSNBC or CNN. Real people, real talk, real stories, real conspiracies - I wanna hear about all of the alien probes.

Most importantly, I feel like it's an easy get to accelerate the sheer velocity of this stellar candidate to ru(i)n the GOP. Could they possibly take some of my donor money and actually run an ad campaign or something?

I'm committed to this effort, and if there's anything I can do to get this guy they found wandering around a dollar store parking lot the top Republican campaign job, I'll do it. I'm not ashamed to say I like Mike for all high offices within the GOP, and I think it's high time the wokerati and establishment came aboard the Lindell Liner so the team can bring it home.

Let's go Mike!!!

Republicans already call Democrats anti-Semites because of what they think they heard Omar say. Apparently "Free Palestine" is anti-Semitic somehow. But, since this thread is about the racists Republicans, let's focus on that. Let's focus on the fact that Republicans will not condemn racist and anti-Semitic acts and language language by party leaders. All the hate toward marginalized groups done by Republicans. Bathroom laws, anti-voting laws, banning books, violence by Republicans in the name of Republicans like we saw in Colorado Springs and Pittsburgh and Buffalo and El Paso.

Before you say anything, Democrats did condemn the baseball shooter

One Democratic party member who said he was glad it happened was fired immediately because of his comment

Meanwhile Republicans have said nothing about the violence by Republican supporters.
