How many people can be buried on a golf course before it has to be called a cemetery? And do you have the choice of a headstone or a golf pennant?

Lara Trump does have qualifications, though I'm not sure what the specific ones are for Party Co-Chair are, anyhow.

Lara's qualifications are surprisingly similar to Brian Tyler Cohen's:

Okay, let's look. First off, what are the Party Co-Chair qualifications?
Fundraising
Spokesperson
Personnel, paid and volunteer, management
Campaign experience
Confidence of the party's leader (ex-PINO)

Lara Trump
graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication from North Carolina State University, a relevant degree to the job
Podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen
graduated from Lehigh University with a BS degree in Business and Economics and a BA degree in English, class president

Lara Trump
X Followers 1.6M
Brian Tyler Cohen
YouTube Subscribers 2.5M. Edge to Brian, but Lara doesn't need the income.

Lara Trump
swing state connections, NC born
Brian Tyler Cohen
PA college, otherwise?

Lara Trump
6 years in TV, pundit and producer
Brian Tyler Cohen
Limited acting, YouTuber, pundit x 1 year

Lara Trump
8 years campaigner, spokesperson and fundraiser for TRE45QN
Brian Tyler Cohen
6 years political commentary

Lara Trump
member of the Dolt .45 family
Brian Tyler Cohen
not a member of a political family

Back to the Party Co-Chair qualifications:
Fundraising - edge Lara
Spokesperson - edge Lara, but Brian might be fine at it
Personnel, paid and volunteer, management - some, but not a lot for either. Maybe edge Lara for TV producing
Campaign experience - both, Lara as an insider, Brian as an observer
Confidence of the party's leader (ex-PINO) - truly the only qualification that matters in the MAGA Cult

Lara's competence is certainly debatable, but I don't get how Brian can claim "no qualifications." Where do you disagree?

Compare to the resume of the outgoing chair.

Fundraising and TV experience while important isn't political or management type experience, but it's trump's party and looking good on TV is a major qualifier.

McDaniel worked for SRCP Media as a production manager. She also worked for the production company Mills James as a business manager and as a manager at the staffing firm Ajilon.[15]

McDaniel worked in Michigan for her uncle Mitt's 2012 campaign for President of the United States. She was elected Michigan's representative to the Republican National Committee (RNC) in 2014.[15] In 2015, McDaniel ran to be chair of the Michigan Republican Party, receiving support from both the party establishment and Tea Party activists. At the party's convention in February 2015, she defeated Norm Hughes and Kim Shmina, receiving 55% of the vote in the first ballot. She succeeded Bobby Schostak as chair and stepped down from her position at the RNC.[16][15]

During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, McDaniel served as a delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention for Donald Trump.[16] Following the 2016 presidential election, McDaniel became a candidate to chair the Republican National Committee.[17] McDaniel was an early supporter of Donald Trump. McDaniel had activist Wendy Day removed from her party position as grassroots vice-chair due to her refusal to support Trump.[18]

In the 1990s, Steele worked as a partner at the international law firm of LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae and co-founded the Republican Leadership Council, a "fiscally conservative and socially inclusive" political action committee.[2] Steele also made numerous appearances as a political pundit on Fox News and other media outlets prior to running for public office. As lieutenant governor, Steele chaired the Minority Business Enterprise task force, actively promoting an expansion of affirmative action in the corporate world.[3] He made an unsuccessful run in the 2006 U.S. Senate election in Maryland, losing to Democrat Ben Cardin. From 2007 to 2009, Steele was chairman of GOPAC, a 527 organization that trains and supports Republican candidates in state and local elections. After serving one term as RNC Chair from 2009 to 2011, he lost his bid for a second term and was succeeded by Reince Priebus.[4] Since 2011, Steele has contributed as a regular columnist for online magazine The Root[5] and as a political analyst for MSNBC.[6] In 2018, he became a Senior Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs.[7]

Can't count Steele's post-2011 credentials.

Ronna McDaniel has an undergraduate degree in English from Brigham Young University.

Michael Steele

... received a BA degree in international studies from the Johns Hopkins University ...

He spent three years preparing for the Catholic priesthood at the Augustinian Friars Seminary at Villanova University, which he left prior to ordination to enter civil service.

Steele subsequently attended Georgetown Law School where he graduated with a JD degree in 1991.

Steele wins.

My dispute was with the "no qualifications" claim and I think Lara has reasonable credentials. In MAGAworld it's rare that a new hire is more qualified than their predecessor. Then, it looked like you said Brian had superior qualifications to Lara. If so, I disagree.

Fundraising and TV experience while important isn't political or management type experience, but it's trump's party and looking good on TV is a major qualifier.

Lara has 8 years of political experience, which included some management, and was a TV producer. Wiki doesn't say how much managing she did, but Inside Edition is a large operation.

"looking good on TV is a major qualifier" for any Party leader and for most pols. I think Lara is an idiot, but she makes it work

Put it this way, the trumpian standards have changed the rules. I don't think an election denier and a familial wingnut with marginal at best qualifications would be on anyone's radar.

With that said, if it wasn't for nepotism do you think she'd be given any consideration at all?

No, probably not, but she was almost my US Senator:

Lara Trump's Plan For RNC Is Utterly Shredded By Former Chair
Michael Steele gave Donald Trump's daughter-in-law "a little bit of training."

Sometimes, the interweb is hilarious:

Eric Trump Mocked Over Brazenly False Claim About His Father In New York
The son of the former president came up with a wild one during a Fox News interview.

Eric Trump made a wild claim about his father, Donald Trump, as he railed against New York after last week’s landmark ruling in the fraud case against his family.

“My father built the skyline of New York City, and this is the thanks he gets?” he said on Fox News on Friday evening, hours after a judge ordered the former president to pay $355 million.

Eric Trump and his brother, Donald Trump Jr., were each ordered to pay $4 million in the case, and all three are also facing other sanctions.

Donald Trump owns or manages several buildings on the New York City skyline. Some, such as Trump Tower, were built for him. Others were built previously, by other owners, with Trump later acquiring some share of ownership or interest. In still other cases, Trump’s company did not build and does not own the building, but manages the property.

Curbed has a look at his real estate portfolio in New York.

Even including all of those properties, the buildings do not add up to a large portion of the skyline, nor do they include its most distinctive features, as the former president’s critics were quick to point out on X:

This is funny for two reasons. 1) Trump in no way “built the skyline of New York City” and 2) The suggestion that Trump conducted any business anywhere at anytime for any reasons other than selfishness or economic self-interest. Like he deserves NYC’s gratitude? LOL

Hey @EricTrump, my dad built the Mayan Temples. And he's not a criminal!

I keep "learning" new "facts" about Trump

My father built the Las Vegas strip and created the Margarita machine in every casino.

Trump towers in New York City are like the pieces of Jenga that if you remove them, nothing’s different. You mad twat.

Excellent simile.

My father built this city. He built this city. He built this city on rock and roll.

Your father destroyed historic Art Deco friezes that he pledged to preserve when he razed the Bonwit Teller building. Your tacky asses ruined more than you built.

Wish I'd worked in her ER.

Well, my father invented the light bulb, the wheel, the telephone, and fire.

Makes you wonder how this family ever was suspected of fraud.

Your dad didn't build the skyline. But he did brag about having the tallest building after 9/11...because he's a soulless, pathological liar, grifty ghoul.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.
