Internal Documents Show Divided El Paso GOP

Lest you get the impression that only the El Paso County Democratic Party is plagued by infighting, I thought I would provide you a look inside the El Paso Republican Party.

There is a Chaos Clique that includes failed congressional candidate and new incoming El Paso GOP chairman Rick Seeberger and his handler Max Grossman that seems dead-set on turning the El Paso GOP into an extension of the political consulting firm.

I guess they saw what Iliana Holguin and Eddie Holguin were doing with the El Paso County Democratic Party and figured they wanted to get in on the action.

Apparently things have gotten so bad in the El Paso GOP that the current chair, and apparently the only adult in the room, Adolfo Telles, had to send out a letter clarifying who is officially speaking on behalf of the El Paso GOP.

The fault line between the two factions appears to be along the lines of support for El Paso Mayor Dee Margo. Margo is the most successful Republican the local GOP has seen in years, being elected to the state legislature and mayor of El Paso. Until City Rep Claudia Rodriguez was elected, Margo was pretty much the last of the Mohicans from the GOP. The two of them were only elected because they ran in nonpartisan races and would've lost if they ran for any office as a Republican.

Grossman leads the anti-Dee Margo wing of the El Paso GOP. Its nothing philosophical or platform-based. Grossman just likes getting his entitled way and it bothers him when he can't get it. That is why he and his buddies decided to pull an Holguin Family move and use the political party infrastructure for personal and political gain.

The irony of the fact that Grossman - who is Hillary-hatin' "you're-just-a-libtard" Republican - is taking a page from the Holguin family playbook isn't lost on me. Neither is the fact that there are people who call themselves devoted Democrats, but a close friends and followers of Max Grossman - you know, like former City Rep and Holguin family consulting business partner, Lily Limón. So next time you hear her talk about how she;'s such a Democrat and is critical of Trump, Abbott, or Margo - just remember she's a close Grossman ally.

Personally, I can't wait until Seeberger and his handler Grossman take over the El Paso Republican Party. They are going to blow the hole thing up and as a Democrat, that brings me great joy. I hope they go full-on Joker and burn stacks of money, laughing menially the whole time, holding all the Republican blue-hairs hostage as they clutch their pearls.

It also has me wondering what role the Holguin Family political consulting firm Sun Circle with now have with the El Paso GOP since they are all so tight. Remember that Eddie Holguin's political mentor was a Republican, the late Jaime O. Perez.

Seeberger and Grossman's ego while running the El Paso GOP are going to be amazing - topped only by the excuses they will come up with once they lose a bunch of elections.

Understand that for Seeberger, this is personal. He is pretty disconnected from reality as a general rule but he actually blames the El Paso GOP for the beat-down he took at the hands of Veronica Escobar last election cycle. I mean he really got his ass kicked.

But to hear him in this email, in which he stomps his feet and calls for Telles' resignation, he has a "master strategist" that he was bringing in. That would apparently have made all the difference, lol. As opposed to say a "novice strategist".

He also weirdly refers to himself in the third person. Teaming up that ego with Grossman...that is going to be some glorious crow-eating for the next two years...assuming Seeberger actually survives two years as Chair of the local GOP.

Sam Williams, who is in a run-off to be the Republican candidate that gets slaughtered in November against Escobar has a pretty deep-seeded rivalry with Seeberger. Williams was a write-in candidate and had a very poor showing but he was more the Republican Party prototypical Trump candidate than Seeberger. Seeberger was upset that he felt the GOP leadership in El Paso didn't get behind him. They didn't get behind him, I can only assume, because his track recorded was so dubious, especially as it relates to money, which is the kiss of death in a Republican.

It is doubtful Seeberger gets behind whoever ends up being the traditional November sacrificial lamb for the congressional seat.
