Donald Trump is calling for a leadership change at the Republican National Committee in an attempt to install a new slate of loyalists — including his daughter-in-law — at the top of the GOP’s political machine even before he formally secures the party’s next presidential nomination.

Current RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel says she has no plans to leave the committee until at least after South Carolina’s Feb. 24 primary election.

Still, Trump is calling for McDaniel to be replaced by Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP chairman. The new co-chair, Trump said, should be his daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

    Gets even better. One way or another, Trump is not going to last another decade. He’s too old and eats McDonald’s hamburgers regularly. The nature of cults of personality is that they disintegrate as soon as the personality at its center is gone. Getting his claws even deeper into the GOP would only help bring the whole GOP down with him.
