re: #325 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

so the theory is that the Russians blackmailed the RNC into accepting Trump?

Not necessarily into accepting Trump but in going along with Trump’s bizarre and damaging policies. No matter what Trump does, they play along and vote in lockstep. I interpret their behavior to mean that whatever was hacked by the Russians is being held over their heads by Trump and his minions.
