ELECTION – A Disaster for Conservatives

PROBLEM – Weak and Ineffective Leaders

SOLUTION – New and Mostly Younger Conservative and Republican Leaders

MANASSAS, Virginia – by: Richard A. Viguerie, the pioneer of conservative direct marketing, chairman of his 90-person marketing firm, and author of latest book, GO BIG, The Marketing "Secrets" of Richard A. Viguerie.

ELECTION

There’s no denying the fact in the 2022 elections liberals outgunned conservatives. Democrats/liberals beat Republicans/conservatives like a drum.

There is plenty of blame and finger-pointing for Tuesday’s colossal failure by the GOP to achieve a resounding victory under the ideal circumstances for a wave election. Let me address, however, some of the foundational problems (and solutions) that the pundits, consultants, and Party leaders won’t tell you.

PROBLEM

Who/where were the Republican closers? Taking victory laps?

SOLUTION

Conservatives are like the Biblical Jews who had to wander through the desert for 40 years until that generation of failed, flawed leaders had passed away. Conservatives are not going to get to the political promised land until this generation of failed/flawed leaders are replaced and new ones arrive.

Conservatives and Republicans need new leaders, mostly younger (under 40) who have a bold, aggressive, entrepreneurial spirit and want to play an important role in preserving liberty/freedom under God’s laws.

There needs to be a major housecleaning at the national Republican committees, starting with Rhonna Romney McDaniel at the Republican National Committee, but also at the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Republican Governors Association Campaign Committee, as well as the cabal of content-free consultants who play a major role in making sure the Republican Party and Republican candidates avoid conservative issues.

Republican U.S. House and Senate leaders need to be replaced, including Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, Mitch McConnell, John Thune.

Most national conservative leaders have low energy, while the Left’s leaders have so much energy, it seems that sometimes you can cut it with a knife.

I’ve written many times in recent years about what is needed for conservatives to govern America. I’ll briefly repeat some of the most important things needed. However, for a more in-depth discussion, you’ll find it in a book I’ve recently written, GO BIG, which was written to help conservatives become competitive with the Left in marketing/communication/fundraising.

On Page 77 of GO BIG I write, “Also, I’m concerned that many conservatives think there will be a red tsunami wave that will wash Democrats out of the office in November 2022, so they believe they don’t have to do anything. Because victory is close, all we have to do is keep doing what we’ve been doing the last 30 years, and we will have a big victory in November 2022. America’s future will be secure. Morton Blackwell called this strain of thought ‘succumbing to the Sir Galahad Theory of politics—we will win because we are self-evidently right.’”

Then on page 78, I list some of the things conservatives need to do to dominate American politics and govern America:

CONCLUSION

If you feel that conservatives/Republicans did not have a bad night on November 8th because Republicans narrowly won the House of Representatives and have a chance of having a majority in the Senate by 1 or 2 votes, let me remind you:

The Republicans had the most favorable political environment ever.

So, with the best political environment ever, we have a squeaker of an election. How do we expect to have big election victories in the future and govern America at the national, state, and local levels with our present, ineffective leaders?

Conservatives with a bold, aggressive, entrepreneurial spirit—this is your moment, your opportunity—America needs your leadership.

Speak for yourself. In North Carolina, this was the first time in my life everyone i voted for on the ballot won.

Gov Cooper is a very lame duck now. The NC Supreme Court has a 5-2 GOP supermajority, and the General Assembly has a GOP senate supermajority, and was only one seat from a house supermajority.

LtGov Mark Robinson is now set up for MAGA governorship in 2024.

My county went the deepest of red, sweeping the entire county commissioners, education, judges, sheriff, and dogcatcher into the GOP column. Blew out their democrat challengers by an average of 30 points.

NC went from purple, to DEEP RED.

A misprint there? More likely to read “one of the floundering

Previous Gov Rick Scott and current Gov DeSantis drained the south swamp of crooked rat supervisors of elections that embarrassed FL in 2000.

No massive mail away ballot nonsense, no mules, no ballot harvesting in FL.

Republicans won supermajorities in both legislative houses.

Republicans won all statewide elective offices.
