They don’t care what the package is, as long as it’s got the brand name, and that’s what you’re seeing with the defense of everything President Trump is doing,” Knotts said. Hen it comes to Trump, Knotts said the party leaders are “deniers and apologists” sacrificing ideology for a political win. Our old friend from the early days of Delaware political blogging, Frank Knotts, predicts doom for the party if it embraces Trump. If you have the right message and you have the right mission, people unify behind you.” “The Delaware Republican Party is set up now for the next level of growth and unity. “We’re a mirror reflection of the national party,” Wedo said. Anthony Wedo, a GOP delegate to the convention, thinks Stone’s and Trump’s hardball, critics would say authoritarian, message is exactly the right course for the state party. Stone could be indicted for some role in allegedly coordinating the Trump campaign’s treasonous collusion with Russian hackers during the 2016 election. The state GOP is so in line with Trump now that Roger Stone was the convention’s Keynote Speaker. “We are going to, as a party, support the Trump movement and see what we can do to help it here in Delaware,” said Michael Harrington, elected Saturday as the state’s Republican Party chairman during their annual convention hosted at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino. Thus, if you are a moderate Republican in the mold of Mike Castle or Cathy Cloutier, you have no place in your state party. Harrington made no mistake about it: the Delaware Republican Party is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Movement. Emily Taylor, 29, a former campaign manager for Senator Colin Bonini’s campaign for state treasurer back in 2010, was nominated from the floor by Bonini and she defeated former U.S. Harrington is a Dover-area real estate agent and businessman, a former two term state representative in Kent County, and the Kent County Chairman of the Trump-Pence campaign. They elected Michael Harrington, 71, as their new Chairman to replace Charlie Copeland.

And in their convention, they decided to embrace Donald Trump.

The Republicans met last weekend to elect their own new leadership. I know David Woodside well and he will be a great chairman for the county. The New Castle County Democratic Party elected David Woodside, to the chair of the county party, and Rebecca Cotto and Ciro Poppitti as the Vice Chairs.

I think the odds on favorite to be the new Chairman is Erik Raser-Schramm, but that may be my bias showing as he is a friend and my choice to lead our party forward. The Delaware Democratic Party are having their state convention on June 10 to adopt a new state party platform and elect a new state Chairman to replace the retiring John Daniello.
