NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Chris Hayes assessed the condition of the Republican Party on March 14, considering Trump's replacement of all members in the National Republican Congress with loyalists.

His assessment was bleak. Hayes elucidated that under Trump, the GOP prioritizes "preventing people from voting" over "directly winning more votes."



 

Chris Hayes analyzes Trump's stance on democracy and RNC control

“Donald Trump’s relationship with democracy and self-government seems pretty straightforward,” Hayes said as he began the commentary.

“He doesn’t care about that. Because he doesn’t like to lose, right? He lost the democratic elections. He’s desperate for criminal immunity. So it’s kind of instrumental to him. No democracy, no loss, no problem."

Hayes argued that this extends beyond mere self-interest for Trump. "Opposing democracy isn't just convenient for him. It's actually a deeply ingrained and steadfast ideological conviction," Hayes asserted.

As evidence, he pointed out Trump's consistent admiration for authoritarian figures like Vladimir Putin.

Hayes suggested that Trump's preference for dictatorship over democracy is a steadfast principle, not just something that emerged on day one. This led him to discuss Trump's control over the RNC.

Hayes pointed out how Trump's stance against mail-in voting not only undermined the party's chances in key elections but also caused high-profile voters within the party to oppose it.

However, now the party has officially adopted that stance.

"Mail-in and early voting, isn't that a smart tactic? It's not about partisanship or ideology," Hayes remarked. "But now, Donald Trump might become the next Republican president, and his supporters have seized control of the party."

"Instead of getting Republicans comfortable with early voting by mail, they’re killing the idea," Hayes claimed.

He continued, stating, "The new institutional ethos is less about the Lincoln party and more about the My Pillow guy."

Chris Hayes exposes Trump's strategy to contest election outcomes

Hayes highlighted that the RNC has introduced a new role focused on "election integrity," which essentially translates to a strategy to contest any election outcome unfavorable to Trump.

"The party that he’s leading now … has gone out of his way to try to suppress the vote on the integrity of the election, to stop people from voting, to create obstacles, rather than the effort they’ve made to win more votes," Hayes emphasized.

"Donald Trump hates the idea of ​​the people choosing their leader, he prefers if the leader could choose his people. it's really one of his few deeply held beliefs," Hayes concluded.
