Some think the RNC leadership needed to be replaced after years of election losses. Much of the staff have also been let go. Think the Trumpers will be able to mobilize new staff and volunteers in the next six months?
Or was this done just to make sure most of the Republican campaign donations go to paying Donald's legal bills?
So while Leftists fear another presidential election win for Mr. Trump, he might not only lose the presidency, he might also destroy the GOP for the next decade.

Oh please, Fred, the GOP is already a steaming pile of dogshit. Trump exposed how worthless they are and that they have no idea how to fight the communists, aka Democrats.
Trump will not use campaign money for his legal bills and he will not destroy the party, he’s the only one who can give the party some balls again. The GOP hasn’t had a strong leader since Reagan and now that we have one again, you can watch the rats scampering around trying to figure out how to get rid of him.
I don’t care how you feel about him, he’s the last hope to stop the deep state. So you either hold your nose and vote for Trump or you make it easier for the Democrats and weak Republicans to finish off the country for good.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
Merriam-Webster's definition of the "deep state" and an accompanying description by Rothkopf describes it as such:
" an alleged secret network of especially nonelected government officials and sometimes private entities (as in the financial services and defense industries) operating extralegally to influence and enact government policy
The power of the deep state comes from experience, knowledge, relationships, insight, craft, special skills, traditions, and shared values. Together, these purported attributes make nameless bureaucrats into a supergovernment that is accountable to no one. That is a scary prospect. (Rothkopf).
Unfortunately some come away from this definition thinking of a cabal that has meetings and discussions. I prefer to address it as an ideology that is transmitted as an individual enters one of the governmental agencies, eg. IRS, FBI, CIA, Federal Reserve, etc. as a neophyte. As in school, often the pupil adopts the views of the teacher, knowing that their careers depend on the positive recommendations of those above them. Euphemistically called a job performance evaluation.
Simply, they "go along to get along".

Bureaucrats like Dr. Fauci who reigned for decades. From Reagan to Biden. Highest paid federal employee. He had American taxpayers funding ways to weaponize Coronavirus's in China. Administrations changed but he remained in place. He also had us paying for labs in Ukraine.
There are other high level bureaucrats elsewhere. In the state department, the lead guy will change with the different Presidents but those under him have ruled for decades.
