Republican chairwoman just issued a blatant threat to her own party on Trump's behalf [View all]



Observers both inside and outside the GOP have argued for some time that the Republican Party is already dead. At the very least, it’s no longer the party of conservatives, but the party of Trump, they insist. After a tweet late Wednesday by Republican Party Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, it appears the argument is over.

That threat is actually a complete capitulation on behalf of the GOP establishment, and it marks the end of the Grand Ole Party as we know it. The Republican Party is now the Party of Trump, come what may.
