Brian, are you surprised that Cindy Siddoway and Damond Watkins think that Ronna Romney McDaniel should even be considered after her piss poor performance in the previous three terms? Seriously, it is about winning and I really like Harmeet's position on moving the RNC out of DC. That would be a good start. Having any association with Romney should be a disqualifier too.

My sense is that both of them have been in the machine long enough that they are satisfied with how it is currently working. They both signed a letter of support for McDaniel late last year that extolled many seemingly minor wins, while actual victory was not mentioned. However I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now. In the end they are the ones who will be casting the votes.

I have written both of them asking them to support Harmeet. Sorry to hear they both seem unmovable and out of touch with the base on such a vital GOP position. I wonder if Ronna sent them some flowers too.😀

Great article, Brian. Your substack is the place I found to have the best Idaho political news, and I’m so glad I subscribed. Looking forward to your analysis of the rest of the meeting.
