#RIPGOP.
You might not know the name Ronna McDaniel. But do me a favor, write it down.
Because what she tweeted Wednesday night is really important.
I don’t know Ms. McDaniel, and presumably you don’t either. She’s probably lovely in person.
But on Wednesday at 9:22 p.m. ET, Ms. McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, sent THIS into the ether:
“Complacency is our enemy. Anyone that does not embrace the @realDonaldTrump agenda of making America great again will be making a mistake.”
Take that in.
Let me say here: I am a Republican. I’ve been proud of that my entire adult life, even through some of our darkest hours, even when I’ve departed from the party on issues like gay rights and capital punishment.

Timeline of Trump firing James Comey
I was proud because I believed Republican policies were better for people, yes. But I was mostly proud because we were the “party of ideas.”
