Donald Trump Endorses Michael Whatley
for RNC Chair, Lara Trump for Co-Chair

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 2/12/2024 11:34:18 PM

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Michael Whatley, chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, to replace Ronna McDaniel as the Republican National Committee (RNC) chair with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump as co-chair. In a statement shared on Monday, the former president confirmed previous reports that he will be endorsing Michael Whatley, touting his record in North Carolina. The RNC MUST be a good partner in the Presidential election. It must do the work we expect from the national Party and do it flawlessly. That means helping to ensure fair and transparent elections across the country, getting out the vote everywhere – even in parts of the country

Nepotism is never a proper choice. I sincerely hope this co-chair choice is rejected. Nice person, but also ensures a dynasty going forward which is not consistent with our constitution.

Whatley is a terrible choice. He has done election fraud no good in NC.He actually used election fraud in the NC GOP Convention last year to get re-elected as Chairman. He allowed use of a phone app by the convention members to vote him in that office in violation of GOP rules. All convention voters must be in the room to vote for officers. The phone app made it legal to be anywhere. He also killed debate on budget items. Whatley is a Tilliss crony and Chamber of commerce crony. If you watch Tilliss senate votes you will see RINO issues and no border security and amnesty. Whatley is a huge rino. And he will stab Trump every chance he gets. Tillis did.

Don’t know him but I appreciate the information from Poster #6. I am suspect after reading that. All these choices regarding personnel must be given a lot of thought. I would rather see someone new than someone who has been around a while. I also just don’t care for Lara being named co-chair. While I trust her I just believe it would be better to keep the family out of the process.

Our #2 is right. Lara is not Kimberly G. She is MAGA from head to toe. I am not sure about this Whatley but Lara Trump on hand to SEE TO. it President Trump is not sabotaged by the RNC as has been going on six years now. Lara Trump was an outstanding move for co-chair.

#6,#8,#11,#13~ For whatever it’s worth, the North Carolina GOP withdrew a lawsuit challenging the procedure used in 2023 to elect Mr. Whatley to another term as party chairman. The North Carolina GOP leadership filed a motion to dismiss the case “in its entirety because Plaintiffs lack standing to bring this action,” wrote attorneys representing the state party. “Additionally, Plaintiffs’ Complaint should be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, as Plaintiffs’ Complaint, on its face, fails to establish the necessary elements for any plausible claims as alleged.” [https://www.carolinajournal.com/state-gop-leadership-lawsuit-ends-as-plaintiffs-drop-appeal/ -- “State GOP leadership lawsuit ends as plaintiffs drop appeal” -- January 16, 2024] As informational, Mr. Whatley served “as a federal law clerk, on the Florida Recount Team for George W. Bush’s recall effort, as a senior official in Bush’s administration and as chief of staff to former Sen. Elizabeth Dole.” [https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/07/michael-whatley-donald-trump-could-replace-ronna-mcdaniel-rnc-chair/ -- “Who Is Michael Whatley, The Potential Frontrunner To Replace Ronna McDaniel As RNC Chair?” – February 7, 2024]

#14. Did Whatley allow the use of phone app for the voting of the leadership during the NCGOP Convention? Dont the NCGOP rules say that the voting delegates must be present in the Convention to vote? Was the phone app that was used to vote Whatley back in allowed to be used outside of the Convention hall ....like maybe from the bar or golf course or back in their hotel room?

#15~ Comments posted for #14 were based on the content of what was reported by the Carolina Journal news website and surmising that if the North Carolina GOP withdrew the lawsuit, the NC GOP had to have reason for doing so. In response to the questions in #15, it appears that at least three individuals believe the rules were violated and their adherence to wanting rules to be followed is admired and respected. Without question, people of faith want integrity to prevail in every aspect of life, but people of faith realize that life is not perfect and there are times when it is necessary to weigh the effort of winning a battle or losing a war. At this crucial point in America’s future, it is sincerely hoped that all factions within the GOP (local, state, national) can come together and do its best to save this country as founded—in God we trust.

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is weighing in on President Donald Trump's demands NATO countries pay their committed two percent of the alliance or face invasion from Russia. Trump has always maintained NATO countries must pay their defense obligations -- obligations NATO governments agreed to as part of receiving collective protections of the alliance. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Saturday that former President Donald Trump will seek to withdraw the U.S. from NATO if he wins a second term in the White House. In remarks during a lunchtime panel at the Munich Security Conference, Clinton urged delegates

Joe Biden is starting to ride back his committments on forcing the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). According to a report from The New York Times, Biden's administration is giving up on its targets for production of EVs in an apparent "concession" to automakers and labor unions.The plan is also said to be an election ploy as Democrats fear losing the support of automakers and labor unions: Instead of essentially requiring automakers to rapidly ramp up sales of electric vehicles over the next few years, the administration would give car manufacturers more time, with a sharp increase in sales not required until after 2030, these people said.

Donald Trump's cognitive decline is 'more apparent' than Joe Biden's with 'slurred speech and gross, repeated errors' but both are concerning, a professor has warned. Politics professor Paul Quirk from the University of British Columbia assessed both the presidential front runners' cognitive functioning - after a series of gaffes raised questions about their fitness to hold office. He told Newsweek that 77-year-old Trump's cognitive deterioration is more obvious, but Biden's 'cognitive failure' could result in him refusing to relinquish control if needed during his second term.

But while he was in Rehoboth Beach on Saturday, reporters managed to corral him outside St. Edmond's Church and ask him a few questions.

In laying the foundation for his sweeping decision against former President Donald Trump, Judge Arthur Engoron observed that “this is a venial sin, not a mortal sin.” Yet, at $355 million, one would think that Engoron had found Trump to be the source of Original Sin. The judgment against Trump (and his family and associates) was met with a level of unrestrained celebration by many in New York that bordered on the indecent. Attorney General Letitia James declared not only that Trump would be barred from doing business in New York for three years, but that the damages would come to roughly $460 million once interest was included.

A presidential candidate’s running mate is usually chosen to “balance” the ticket to shore up electoral weaknesses. But in former President Donald Trump’s case, his vice presidential pick is likely to receive added scrutiny due to his multitude of legal problems. That’s why this month I&I/TIPP asked U.S. voters: Who should Trump’s vice presidential running mate be? To find out who’s potentially strongest as a vice presidential candidate, I&I/TIPP’s national online poll, taken by 587 registered Republican primary voters from Jan. 31-Feb. 2, asked two questions: “If Trump wins the Republican nomination, who would be your top choice for his Vice President?”
