Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.
All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut.
Trump needs to win if he wants to stay out of jail. The point is to win by any means.
And to do that, he wants or needs loyalists. People willing to do what it takes until he’s used them up or they rise.
