It's fairly clear that the leadership of the local party seems to be in the midst of a (drug induced?) bubble of self-denial and self-delusion.
I went to the quarterly PCO meeting held illegally at prospective endorsee Julie Olson's restaurant... far too small to hold the number of people who SHOULD have shown up.
Like most candidates/elected, if she was there, I didn't see her. (NOTE: I'm told she was there.) (I DID see Kraft, Weber, VanNortwick, Hinds. Wilson was also there as she is a PCO I believe.) But given the apparently illegal nature of the meeting being located at Olson's restaurant, it was probably better that she was gone, although Jennifer McDaniel was there.
The rest, included our embattled empty suit of a congresswoman, simply didn't care.
Brent Boger was there, having been buried in HIS PCO race by Connie Jo Freeman, looking more like he'd just stepped in dog poop than he usually did. (According to Boger, WE are ALL "amateurs... yet he couldn't win his own PCO race.)
It started with a smarmy pile of dung delivered by the apparently quite clueless Joel Mattila, who took the opportunity to slam the PCO candidates who lost as a result of the RINO-sponsored hate mail campaign, referring to them in his opening remarks as "the Swamp" as he rather stupidly... and falsely...proclaimed the new "unity" that resulted... except the boy clearly can't count.
We're told, "well, if we lose the House and there's an impeachment vote, we'd want Jaime to be taking that vote."
As I was sitting there listening to Matilla's self-important horseshit, I was thinking, "why would we want that? Our resident congressional twatwaffle just got done telling us that she doesn't know if she'd vote for impeachment or not."
To my mind, Herrera, who has routinely trashed the President since her started running for the gig, is just as likely to vote to betray us AGAIN (having betrayed us with her vote against Obamacare repeal) if such a vote were to ever take place as she did the last time it mattered.
There wasn't a lot of bloodletting. For reasons that escaped me, Kenny Smith suggested that the party just endorse everyone on the ballot with an "R" after their name.
I didn't understand that. I believe that in the best of circumstances, each candidate seeking the endorsement of the local party is worthy of a discussion to go over what they have... and haven't done. I believe a thorough discussion of what candidates/incumbents have done or failed to do is always in order.
But the party hierarchy, being as totally incompetent as they are, according to Druggie just didn't really know that those on the vetting committee didn't happen to have 1-year terms... so instead of KNOWING that like all chairs had to know it before, when he found out, what did he do?
Nothing.
And when the time came to go over the endorsement committee's work, well, guess what?
No committee on endorsements. No recommendations.
I can understand that. Candidate vetting is a not a particularly fun exercise. Had such a committee worked Gellatly over, there is no way.... NO WAY... he wouldn't have been allowed to become Chair.
And now that his chairmanship has set the bar so low, any MS13 thug can get the job.
Slavish devotion to a label turned on and off like a switch (Look up Carolyn Crain's endorsement of non-Republican Marc Boldt over Eileen Quiring in the county chair race and the fact that none of the past RINO chairs had endorsed Quiring for the primary, either... although 3 of them endorsed non-Republican Marc Boldt) doesn't inspire confidence. Coming up with across-the-board recommendations for the RINO slate would have been bad form.
But there is no excuse... none... for this....yet another failure on the part of Gellatly.
Then, of course, we find out why the 49th had no Republican candidates and why we found out there was no GOP treasure candidate:
Because, God Help Us, Carolyn Crain is in charge of outreach.
That explains why the party continues to get clobbered in the 49th.
The moronic and abortive "Be Bold" campaign was lied about repeatedly. We were told it was the greatest thing since canned beer. That other counties have asked for signs... that, by golly, the STATE GOP even wants that insanity.
We're also told that the local GOP is now overflowing with volunteers as a direct result of that idiocy.
But that's what those in the bubble told us... repeatedly.
It's a lie, of course, but expecting these idiots to admit to a mistake is as likely as finding a 1000 barrel a day oil well in your back yard.
How do I know it's not true?
Simple.
Politics is like any other business. Success or failure is measured by the outcomes.
And the outcomes in Clark County were close to uniformly miserable in the primary.
Neither Gellatly nor any of his cult took any kind of responsibility for these miserable outcomes. Because, you know.... NOTHING is THEIR fault, right?
The GOP got clobbered across the board. Excuses from the RINOs calling the shots came left and right. But they had no solutions that will work and they failed to mention any possibility of an idea of what went wrong... what's GOING wrong... and what will happen when most of the candidates in trouble now will be beaten by democrats who shouldn't have come close.
So, what happened about the GOP endorsements?
Lacking a committee recommendation, a 2/3rds majority of PCO's present would have been required to endorse.
How embarrassing would it have been for Herrera when she failed to reach that number? And I knew she wouldn't, had the votes for endorsement of all candidates gone forward.
Instead, all non-GOP contested races were auto-endorsed, missing a golden opportunity to pay Herrera back for all she's done "for" us.
But THAT meant Julie Olson's race WAS going to be voted on individually; since her opponent, Elisabeth Veneman, also ran as a Republican (oddly, no democrat ran in that race... although one can only wonder why) and voted on it was.
The problem for Olson?
The vote was 31 to 25 for endorsement... not even close to the 2/3rds requirement.
As a result, there will be no endorsement in the county council position 2 race, a humiliating defeat for a sitting, allegedly Republican incumbent and her RINO fellow travelers.
That outcome sent a message to Olson... and it SHOULD have sent a message to the party hierarchy.
But it won't. Their bubble hasn't yet been popped... and Gellatly/Mattila seem bent on acting like political scum at all costs... which is bizarre when you consider that they don't have to act that way.
The RINO Establishment think the war is over and they've won it.
They have no idea.
Meanwhile, The Wilson Brain Trust did such a completely miserable job in Hoff's race (Like nobody saw that coming?) that they actually sent a field director down here to not only continue working in the 17th, but also to try and undo the tremendous damage the RINO morons running Hoff's show have done in the 18th.
Hoff's opponent, Gillespie, has been working her ass off. Hoff has been mailing it because of the morons who've been running his show. But in the end, that's no one's fault but his.
The RINOs lost a GOP seat they didn't need to lose.
Well done, folks.
Too little.... too late.
