Republican National Committee considering move that would declare Trump the presumptive nominee

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/poli...z13TGmX7n_Iwn7Q


A draft resolution circulating among the Republican National Committee would formally declare Donald Trump the Republican Party’s 2024 presumptive nominee.

While the former president would still need to reach the delegate requirements necessary to win the nomination, if the resolution is approved, he would have access to the RNC’s data operation, benefit from fundraising with the RNC, and have the support of all of the committee’s ground operations. It would also mean the committee would be supporting Trump and effectively opposing former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – an unprecedented break from the party’s past approach to the nominating process.

The resolution, which is being reviewed by the RNC, was proposed by David Bossie, an RNC committeeman from Maryland who recently endorsed Trump. The resolution was first reported by The Dispatch on Thursday. A draft copy of the resolution was obtained independently by CNN.

“RESOLVED that the Republican National Committee hereby declares President Trump as our presumptive 2024 nominee for the office of President of the United States and from this moment forward moves into full general election mode welcoming supporters of all candidates as valued members of Team Trump 2024,” the resolution reads.

An RNC spokesperson said in a statement that this resolution is still just a resolution and not the current stance of the committee.


Welp, I guess some of the GOP chuds just want to gently caress the primaries altogether now.

Trump said no and it's been withdrawn

“The far left promotes racism by arguing that black lives matter”, yikes

Remember, it all boils down to "If we don't have absolute power, THOSE PEOPLE will try and do all the things we did to them to us, and worse because they'll be pissed off for hundreds of years of it." and they stop there because it might make them realize that if they have hundreds of years of grievances, maybe they did do something wrong.

Or they just assume everyone is like them and they won't give up being the one doing the bad poo poo because the only other option is having the bad poo poo done to them.

I can't seem to easily Google this, does NY have so real or practical statutory limit on punitive damages or could jurors just say, gently caress him, $1B and maybe he will learn his lesson and have it stand?
AFAIK no, there's no statutory treatment of the topic and is basically uncapped, but what a judge will do with such an award is highly, highly subjective in their belief of what "excessive" might be and reduce accordingly. A jury may award that, but it's stupidly unlikely to stand on appeal or even a post-trial motion.

I wish Trump would refuse the nomination. Cite that the GOP are all losers and Rhinos and he will run on his own ticket, his own new party! TRUMP PARTY.

They know what it is and they know we know what it is. But most of them will never admit to it.

The best part is, that phrase was the rallying cry of The Redeemers - a coalition of racist white conservative elites and their loyalists that used any and all tactics - including violence and outright fraud - to sabotage and/or influence elections to try and ensure their preferred outcome.

Clearly he's not sucking the life out of the GOP fast enough, perhaps we should hand him the keys to the car and our wallets and blank checkbook? I'm sure he'll forward the money downstream to key battles as so to solidify he party in congress and retake the Senate!

My mom, who lives a stone's throw from Ottawa, is so upset about THE INVASION AT THE BORDER. I do my best to feed her a steady stream of reason and reality, but I'm no match for the other 167 hours of right-wing propaganda filling her ear holes in the week.

It took every ounce of restraint a bunch of years ago when she complained about immigrants in this country for me to explain to her, "Mom YOU'RE GERMAN AND YOU WERE BORN IN GERMANY."

Yeah he barely has object permanence everything is just about what he wants RIGHT NOW like a little baby. He doesn’t want to be given the nom because he gets to keep campaigning for the GOP ticket and dumping on hapless goofs like Haley. He’s maybe a little gun-shy about going up against Biden again so wants to put that off.

Also the longer the primary goes on, the longer he can collect campaign contributions. Of course he never expected he'd ever have to SPEND the campaign contributions on actual campaigning, as so far slightly less than half of Republican primary voters have demonstrated they will get out there and vote for Literally Anyone But Trump. He wants to go through the proper primary process by hoovering up small doner contributions and then effortlessly stomping everyone to stroke his little mushroom dick about how bigly important he is. That... isn't quite what's happening so far.

Ah yeah definitely a fundraising angle to that too I bet, good point!

I am actually surprised how he didn’t win by more in both Iowa and NH. I was expecting him to get 2/3 or more even!

He's right. The congress-critters outright said on cable news that they're pissing on the current proposed legislation because they don't want to give Biden a win.

Not because they disagree with the polices or that they want to offer better solutions, they literally want to undermine the White House.

I really hate it because I hate to think of my mom as even a little bit racist, but it's definitely because they're "that kind" of immigrant.

She was getting huffy about the people coming here seeking asylum, totally glossing over the fact that her own father was seeking asylum in the US after WWII because he and his first wife and children were thrown into a concentration camp after seeing family and friends murdered in the street by the SS. He was the only one who survived. (I have his original application paperwork, and I still laugh at his answer to the question asking if he has plans to return to his country of origin: "Nein!")
