John Solomon's analysis of the 2020 election and a proposed way forward ignores a major issue.

Namely, the failure of the GOP at the State and Federal level to stand 100% behind Trump as he fought the results from the Nov 3 election.

The GOP had their last chance to stand behind Trump on January 6th and instead of standing behind Trump the GOP Representatives and Senators stabbed Trump in the back.

Why didn't 100% of the GOP Representatives and Senators vote against the Electoral Vote?

Republican legislatures need to exert control? Um, they tried and were overruled by Democrat governors, courts, and even election boards that changed the rules as they saw fit.

Assuming Democrats don’t further stack the deck in their favor now that they control Washington DC—a very big assumption—Republicans must employ the same ballot harvesting tactics. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans, but we still have millions of Republicans who sat on the sidelines this last election. Those Republicans must be contacted and encouraged to vote—not in person but by mail as too many voters are apparently too lazy or busy to vote in person anymore.

That’s why the Democrats win mass mail in balloting. Normally, many of them wouldn’t bother voting, but when harvesters show up and make voting as easy as possible, these unmotivated voters will submit a ballot. Of course there’s also fraud—no one can know it wasn’t enough to change the 2020 election—but these mail in ballots and ballot harvesting are what’s really killing the GOP.

The Democrats “leapfrogged nothing.” They had to step over a few lazy drunkards lying prostrate in the streets begging for a handout.

George Wallace was right:

“There ain’t a dime’s worth of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.”... George Wallace, 1968

Hard to sift through Solomon’s ‘analysis’ and see it omit a section devoted to the massive fraud we all witnessed.

Solomon seems to join a mindset “let’s give credit to Democrats, do some stuff, and move on” or did I miss something?

Ok, expand Rumble, Parler, blah blah blah.
Ok, make money flow like Soros, NGOs, blah, blah, blah.

“Universal mail ballots can be ended” WTH?

Losing respect for J Solomon.

The communists also control the courts - all three branches of government now.

No - wrong - the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it. The time to fight was before the election not after. And the GOP did very little in 2017 - 2020 to prevent this.

When and where has an election ever been overturned because of fraud? The time to stop the steal is when you see the crooks climbing through the window. Once they are gone, you rarely ever see your stolen stuff again. All summer long we were hearing about early voting, mail voting, social distanced drop boxes. That’s when we should have been protesting in our state capitals. Next step is a voting app on our phones, probably from Dominion. We don’t want that, better be ready to march when it’s proposed, not after the next election.

So what do those same experts advise Republicans do to change their fortunes?

Exactly what the Democrats did. Don't point fingers, change the rules, and own the narrative, they said.

The Republicans would be smacked down by liberal judges so fast it would make their heads spin.

According to this article, the Democrats won because they completely ignored the rules and their allies in the legal system supported their lawlessness.

And that's something to be congratulated?

Stop the world, I wanna get off.

No one ever mentions MeWe.com as a conservative social media site. I love MeWe.

The author lays out simple ways for the GOP to fix this.

Just like how, in football, winning is simple: “Get the ball over the goal line”.

Not mentioned is the bit about how the other team is going to be fighting you every step of the way, and scheming on ways to defeat your initiatives.

‘Instead, they urged their voters not to take advantage of the loosened rules and to vote the old-fashioned way.’

this is why I don’t think the post mortem of this election can simply be whining and moaning about ‘the steal’; both sides were playing by the same rules, and since the pubs knew precisely what the other side would do, to urge their voters to not do the same is beyond insane...it’s as if two football teams were playing a title game, and one of the coaches said they would be using the recently loosened holding rules to gain the edge and the other coach said we’re going to play by the old set of rules...when the second coach loses, grumbling is all he has left...

but that, in the end, would not have been enough; the real problem, which will only get worse in the coming years, is thee are simply more dems than pubs, and, when motivated, they will win on numbers alone, regardless of systems being used...

Not reaching a lot of folks? Too many of them are unreachable, and when the borders are thrown open, there will be lots more of them. It’s difficult to compete with “free” stuff.

There is nothing the GOP could have done in the face of such extensive voter fraud.

I agree with following comment from this article (which is what actually happened and not the so-called fraud as suggested by way too many on this and other sites):

Democrats “leap-frogged Republicans’ process, strategy, technology and tactics, and that is to the credit of folks on the Democratic side,” Price told Just the News. “They have perfected harvesting, I believe it is harvesting, of absentee ballots, and I think the numbers will show in these runoff races, the same as they did in November, that Republicans who lost by close margins won the vote on Election Day, won on early voting in person and lost heavily in absentee ballots.”
