When Trump Cleaned out the RNC who did they get rid of...?

Of the 60 paid Republican National Committee staff fired by the new party and executive leadership installed by presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, roughly 40 worked in the field department, a critical component of the RNC’s voter turnout operation, sources told The Dispatch.

Those cashiered include senior personnel overseeing field operations in key battlegrounds: state directors, deputy state directors, and state data directors. Additionally, approximately six of the 10 Washington-based staff running the RNC’s data analytics program—which plays a crucial role in the party’s get-out-the-vote efforts—were dismissed. (Politico first reported news of the layoffs; the Washington Post reported Wednesday that the RNC’s communications director, data director, and political director were let go.)

1. There is purpose there but we're not sure what it is

Trump just plans to convert voters with whining while exhorting all Republicans to vote for him?

Trump plans to ditch mail-in ballot in favor of rushing the polls on election day, starting fights with Democrats, and mucking up the whole thing and filing lawsuits?

Trump thinks himself to be mainstream. So I'm thinking this move indicates he can herd everyone to the middle with his shock and awe speeches.

3. His strategy in 2020....

Was to win election day and then invalidate all the early and mail in ballots through the courts.

That will likely be part of their strategy again. Disrupt the counts, force the house to choose the potus, and he wins without the electoral college.

Then he shuts down voting altogether as corrupt.

All part of the original plan, just refined.

2. Since I trust nothing that Republicans say or do, I'm wondering if a fix of some sort is planned for his win.

I think about the several months that corrupt people around Trump—Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesbro, Mark Meadows, etc.—schemed and plotted to overturn the election. People with similar goals, still unknown to us, have certainly been scheming about how to install Trump as president again in spite of the voters’ choice. They’ve had over three years to work with local Republican elections officials who supported the Big Lie to formulate plans to undermine vote counts in key districts and counties—those needed to win the Electoral College. Assuming that such a plan is in place, it makes sense that Trump is dismantling the grass-roots capabilities because he would think he doesn’t need them and he can just take the money saved to pay his legal bills. I hate feeing so paranoid, but this is the most corrupt Republican Party in my lifetime, one with no scruples whatsoever when it comes to cheating to steal elections.

8. There is a more sinister plan afloat with the dictator wannabe.

1) The planned oil production stoppage by the Saudi buddies of the trump family, and their OPEC cohorts. The part of the coup that is supposed to hit Biden hard enough to make the election seem much closer than it would have been without the huge rise in oil prices.

2) The hiring of Chris LaCivita of Swiftboating fame to run the trump campaign, along with a planned huge influx of Heritage Foundation Billionaire's club donors. This is to make Biden's strengths appear to be his weaknesses, in typical swiftboating fashion, and they will go for the jugular, like they did John Kerry back in 2004 with the lying Swiftboaters. They plan to lie about Biden 24/7 with just enough truth to make it appear legit, and it will be all over rightwing media & social media.

3) The hiring of Christina Bobb, beauty queenish Qanon believer, election denier and right wing propagandist extraordinaire, to make sure mail in voting is seen as the end of all possible election integrity, and the means by which Biden won ANYWHERE that mail in votes are allowed.

4) The hiring of many many right wing lawyers who are now fully prepared to gather information that can be used to actually bring some kind of evidence to court, and to challenge every state, or district, that Biden wins that trump wants.

5) The firing of many key players in the RNC who MIGHT blow the whistle on the trump team and call out their evil doings, much as republicans in the former trump administration STOPPED, or tried to stop, trump from doing things he shouldn't. Going into this election, it's going to be total magats, dyed in the wool trump rump lickers.

6)The games will begin at a time and place designated by Chris LaCivita, that will be close enough to the election to have maximum impact to smear ALL democrats, not just Biden, and will be coordinated with the oil cut off by the Saudis & friends.

THIS IS THE BLOODBATH that trump is bragging about. And the Democrats had better be paying attention and have SOME sort of retaliation or defense, or it will truly be a gruesome bloodbath. Trump is desperate, and he doesn't care that he will destroy this country to keep from going to jail, and to be able to realize his dream of becoming a dictator like his buddies.
