Want to Win the Midterms? Listen to Ron DeSantis
American Thinker ^ | 8 Sep, 2022 | J. Robert Smith

Posted on 09/08/2022 4:09:55 AM PDT by MtnClimber

If you’re a GOP congressional candidate, who should you take advice from on how to win your election? Mitch McConnell -- who, by all appearances, is a Disney animatron created to trip up Republican contenders -- or Ron DeSantis, ultra-successful governor of Florida and a candidate who won a nail-biter in 2018, which was a very Democrat year?

If GOP candidates follow DeSantis, the Vegas odds favor them bagging their Democrat opponents. DeSantis is no Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits. He’s smart, tough, and relentless – and he’s right on the issues. He wins.

Expect DeSantis to dispatch hatin’ Charlie Crist to a St. Pete taxidermist this November.

Crist, like every other Democrat across the country, is running with America’s wannabe il duce, delusional Joe Biden. Creaky old Joe, that is, who miserably fails at everything he touches. Biden’s 20 months in office is a testament to failure. DeSantis has a four-year track record of success. People are flocking to Florida -- not just to hang at the beaches, but to live. Increasingly, salt-of-the-earth folk are shaking off blue state blues for red state freedoms and jobs.

Summed up in a short paragraph is DeSantis’ formula for winning elections. No need to stroke checks to overpriced Washington-dwelling, GOP consultants. You can figure it out all by your lonesome. From the Daily Wire, September 3:

“We’ll hold Biden accountable,” DeSantis told [“The Ingraham Angle”] guest host Raymond Arroyo. “This is a referendum on his failures, make sure everybody knows how his policies have contributed to the mess we’re in, and then articulate what you will do to address things like the border, like crime, like inflation. I think if you do that, I think Republicans are going to win both chambers. And I think it’ll be a really good night.”

Why can’t we get rid of McConnell and Kevin McCarthy? They seem to be working for the left.

McConnell was able to destroy the Tea Party movement without help from his Democrat friends. MAGA has been a little tougher and he needs the help of Democrats to get it done.

McCarthy is a man-girl do nothing.

And don’t forget about John Boehner, he is the origin sin in destroying the Tea Party.

“make sure everybody knows how his policies have contributed to the mess we’re in, and then articulate what you will do to address things like the border, like crime, like inflation”

The most important part of that...”articulate what you will do to address things like the border, like crime, like inflation”

Republicans need to start telling voters HOW they’re going to fix things, instead of just ranting on Biden’s failures.

$$$

McConnell holds the purse strings for Senate candidates, NRSC. Note: it’s not his money, it is brought to him by those that want him to manage who gets and who doesn’t get financing for Senate campaigns. In other words. It’s a sneaky way to buy Senate seats. Those that bring $$$ also bring money for ‘book deals’ and sinecures for family members or special relations.

McCarthy is similarly positioned in the House.
