New Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley and Vice Chairwoman Lara Trump have brought immediate change to the institution, working with senior Trump campaign advisor Chris LaCivita to streamline this leviathan.
The embrace of early voting and absentee ballots, where Democrats have routed Republicans for years, may not be widespread among factions within Trump's hardcore America First base, but it is necessary.
The immediate axing of dozens of RNC staffers sets an example of the culture of complacency that Whatley and Trump will not tolerate.
It will be far from pretty as the America First movement remakes the machinery of the Republican Party; it is a gargantuan task that seemed impossible before the rise of President Donald J. Trump.
As Trump rose to power, conservative institutions refused to change with the times.
The blatant hurdles Trump faced and surmounted only made him stronger and his supporters more fervent.
With President Trump's victory in November, the obsolescence of the reviled Conservative Inc. apparatus will be apparent to all.
