Gov. Brian Sandoval and Sen. Dean Heller don't want him in the job, nor do the two Republican legislative leaders: Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson and Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey.
You would think that would be enough to get him to resign and let Las Vegas Sands lobbyist Robert Uithoven, endorsed by all four of those leaders, take the reins in advance of a very promising year for the GOP in Nevada.
But, no.
Instead, he is using party resources to defend his stewardship and essentially call me a liar after I reported -- correctly -- that the GOP federal account is in debt. Here's the link that proves it. Yes, the state Democratic Party's federal arm also owes more than it has on hand -- but it has about 30 times more on hand!
In the GOP missive paid for by the party that I have pasted below, McDonald puts the best face on the GOP's finances, claiming he has raised $200,000 this year. I have no idea if this is true -- there have been no reports. But I never said anything about the state account, except my guess that the Democrats have far more money than the Republicans.
Even if the chairman's numbers are accurate, he is bragging about being $50,000 in the black? Fifty thousand dollars? Really?
So McDonald, in his desperate bid to hold onto a job even though the party's leaders want him out, is conflating the federal and state accounts to make himself look good and assert my "statements have little if any factual basis."
Really? I reported only the facts.
Here are some others:
1. McDonald has lost the confidence of the two people trying to rebuild the party -- Sandoval and Heller.
2. Those who want the GOP to be a vibrant and successful fundraising operation that actually helps elect candidates want him out.
3. Either the central committee will decide Saturday that the wishes of the elected officioals and consultants who want to elect candidates matter most or they will opt for the socially handciapped misfits and apparatchiks who like to tear down what others are trying build.
