Donald Trump is calling for a leadership change at the Republican National Committee in an attempt to install a new slate of loyalists — including his daughter-in-law — at the top of the GOP’s political machine even before he formally secures the party’s next presidential nomination.

Current RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel says she has no plans to leave the committee until at least after South Carolina’s Feb. 24 primary election.

Still, Trump is calling for McDaniel to be replaced by Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP chairman. The new co-chair, Trump said, should be his daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

        And now he falls in line like all the rest.

        The party that stands for nothing and falls for anything.

        Same fucking guy who in Obama’s last year said “we Republicans are setting a precedent for not confirming new Justices in a president’s last year of office.” Then they bring in Barrett right before Trump exits.
