In your opinion, what were the most significant changes that the GOP made (in 2024, versus what they did in 2020) that contributed to the victory?
We did a lot of things right. However, the biggest advantage was probably running against an administration and a party that was revealed to be out of touch, incompetent, and intellectually and morally decadent. Because of that, we probably could have won with just about any Republican nominee. Well, maybe not with anybody, but at least with several others.
I think that we should remember that we had advantages this time around because the other side was clueless. We need to not be too overconfident in 2028 (or 2026).
Why, they stopped the steal!
Republican volunteers were watching every move the Democrats made, and put the kabosh on most of the illegal voting.
“Because of that, we probably could have won with just about any Republican nominee. Well, maybe not with anybody, but at least with several others.”
I agree. I like Trump even with his rough edges but I worried that those edges were working to his disadvantage.
Certainly Trump knew that he was displaying rough edges. Do you think he did that on purpose because it appeared to be bringing in more votes than it was costing?
“I agree. I like Trump even with his rough edges but I worried that those edges were working to his disadvantage.”
People that believe this are delusional. Trump outperformed any Republican candidate the first time by millions. The second time he increased his vote total by several millions more, and this time he will outperformed 2020 when all the votes are counted. People love his brashness and his unfiltered truth and don’t appreciate political cowardness. The only people that really disagreed are those weak-minded individuals that listen to the mainstream media. People understand good or bad, it’s his truth and appreciate his honesty. They also know that he can be swayed by advisors to change course if needed.
Harris was afraid to discuss her honest opinion and refused to take any stand like a normal politician. And you see where being phony got her.
