Bob Paduchik, the Ohio director for Donald Trump, sent a two-page letter to the state’s central committee members dumping GOP Chair Matt Borges. As People’s Pundit Daily previously reported, Borges during the primary broke a 6-decade long policy of neutrality to help Gov. John Kasich fend off a grassroots-led challenge backing Mr. Trump.
“It’s no great secret that Chairman Borges was never fully on board, but his actions over the past week demonstrate that his loyalties to Governor John Kasich’s failed Presidential campaign eclipse his responsibility as chairman of the Ohio Republican Party,” Paduchik wrote. “The chairman is also apparently driven by an insatiable need for publicity.”
For months, since it became clear after the Indiana primary that Mr. Trump would be the party’s nominee, multiple sources have told PPD that Mr. Borges planned to replace Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus and was intentionally working to sabotage the New York businessman in the Buckeye State. Those sources include people inside Gov. Kasich’s inner circle and the state party furious over the betrayal.
“He wants not only Trump but the party to get wiped out in 2016 so he can make an argument to replace Chairman Priebus and run John again,” a source close to Jeff Weaver, Kasich’s top campaign advisor told PPD. “Why do you think the governor still keeps Jeff on after he’s already lost and why offices are closed on the weekends.”
Still, the letter from Mr. Paduchik is a remarkable display of disunity in the key battleground state, which Mr. Trump lost to Kasich with more votes than Hillary Clinton won it with, with just 24 days before the election. Polls suggest Mr. Trump is still the favorite in Ohio, running stronger there and in Iowa than he is in other battleground states.
Mr. Borges denied the allegations in a statement released after the story broke.
“I won’t let a staffer’s ego get in the way of us doing all we can to win elections up and down the ballot this year,” he said.

Jeremiah's message fr 29:7- Pray your land prospers, if it does, you shall also prosper.
This election lots of people are saying both candidates are 'equally' bad. They aren't.
There is one who intends to do good for our country, and one who intends to harm it.
Pretend for a moment neither had any past indiscretions, & we ONLY knew what they would do if elected. Fortunately, we know what HC wants because we have her speech to bankers, where she made comments never intended for the public to hear, expressing her desire for a 'Borderless Hemispheric Common Market.'
In other words, an end to a sovereign America.
Folks- the end of America!
How would one measure the tears in heaven from all who died for this country?
How do you even begin to calculate the blood spilled for America over her 240 years?
She & Leftist Elites want to create a super-state combining N & S America!
The US is the Cadillac of West Hemis. Everyone else is a 10 year-old Yugo. The Yugo drivers would Love the wealth re-distribution. But what happens to Your standard of living if we combine economies? When Leftists say they care about you & all the micro-issues, it's all talk. They'll do what THEY want when in power. Proof? Did ObamaDems care about American opinion when passing Obamacare? Public opinion re gender/bathrooms? About low priority of ClimateChange? They do what THEY want even if unconstitutional.
That's why the Left has contempt for the uniquely American Constitution, & why they do end-arounds whenever possible with 'ExecOrders'. They want to convince You it's a Living Document - making it malleable instead of inflexible. Not so! It is NOT playdough. The amendment process is the ONLY way to change it. But a Leftist SupCrt won't agree, & will rubber-stamp the Left's agenda, & will let stand clearly unconst'l Ex-orders. Goodbye to 1st & 2nd Amendments & many other freedoms. The next Prez may have 3-4 SC appoints. If it's HC making those choices, America becomes a dinosaur.
MrT warts & all, wants America 1st. Period. John 8:7 says, 'Let him who is without sin cast the 1st stone.' Trump is a sinner, as are we all, but he won't dismantle the very nation that enriched him.
They are not equal.
