🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Republicans are moving forward on hosting a 2024 presidential-style CONVENTION ahead of the 2026 midterms

President Trump is about to campaign this year like it's 2024, culminating into an unprecedented midterm year RNC

GREAT idea to surge MAGA turnout! 🇺🇸

Yeah, good idea. The best idea is to get in control of demonrat cheating. I have long suspected they aren’t winning as much as they’d like us to believe.

[so_real]

I think that is wise. There are really only two ways to bolster the base for a large turn out : 1) high profile arrests showing there are not two sets of rules and that this administration honors the voters as equals, and 2) a convention style review of the numerous and uncounted "wins" that other departments have achieved while working for us. Bessent, Rubio, Kennedy, Gabbard, Homan, Noem, Duffy, Hegseth ... each one of them could talk at length at how just a year of this administration's efforts have improved all our lives. We need the mid-terms to route out the RINO's most importantly, but also to advance our majorities in Congress. A presidential-style convention would absolutely help.

They’d better do something! The motivation level amongst conservatives is fading quickly with the democrats with an R behind their name. What’s the point with the fraud and the fact they don’t do a damn thing we voted for in 2024?
Pretty much we screwed our kids over the last several decades and the country isn’t savable peacefully any longer it seems.

[rephope]

To be held in Minneapolis?

[Libloather]

I like it. Have a constant stream of soon-to-be deported illegals walk across the stage 24/7.

Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.

The high-income people have the Laffer Curve effect to protect them.

Poor Donald Trump is trying to single-handedly lead the Republican horse to water.

I think he will have to kill it to make it take a drink.

Is the “pre-convention” convention a good move?

Based on the 2024 Republican Ntl Convention in Milwaukee, the event was considered
a highly strategic and effective move for the party, with the following superb outcomes:

Projected Strength and Unity: The convention took place just days after the Butler assassination attempt on Donald Trump, transforming the event into a show of force, resilience, and intense loyalty, rather than the internal divisions seen in previous cycles.

Solidified Party Platform: The party adopted a platform that aligned closely with2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump’s, focusing on secure borders, ending inflation, and economic growth, while intentionally distancing from strict, long-standing party positions on issues like a federal abortion ban.

Strategic Vice Presidential Pick: The selection of J.D. Vance was aimed at appealing to white working-class voters, particularly in key Rust Belt swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Heightened Enthusiasm: Delegates and attendees were described as highly enthusiastic, bordering on confident about a landslide, which contrasted with the political difficulties and “disarray” face by the Democratic party at the time.

Focus on Key Swing States: By holding the convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
the party aimed to directly sway a critical battleground state.

While there were concerns about the softening of the abortion platform, and fomenting potential overconfidence, the convention was largely seen as a “flawless” and successful, high-energy event that effectively rallied the GOP base.

[sam_whiskey]

Not sure if this will be effective or viewed as a lipstick on a pig kind of deal. The media will definitely push the latter as a narrative and not give it fair coverage…

Poor Donald Trump is trying to single-handedly lead the Republican horse to water.

Trump is like Grant. He fights.

Ain’t that the truth!

You need more coffee or less whiskey, maybe both.

[WinstonSmith1984]

He is going not going to trust the comprised pedophiles in the republican uniparty to fight (Remember the Paul Ryan’s treasonous surrender in 2018 to protect the uniparty zionistas power center)... what a strange world. God Bless and protect President Trump.

[C210N]

Political dynamite combining this with mid-term changes like voter ID, limiting mail-in ballots, one-day voting, and reconstituted voter rolls on a county basis.

Trump has alluded to various mechanisms to accomplish that over the past year.

[roving]

Maybe they can explain why they’re not voting on the voter ID bill.

[HombreSecreto]

Will energize base and could help independent turnout. If MSM propagandists, good. Pound the MSM incessantly.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Security will have to be just as tight as for a POTUS RNC. Maybe even tighter. I would *not* like to be directing event security there. Car ramming and bombings, air and water drones, snipers and other shooters and stabbers, etc., ad nauseam.

Not a good idea. Some their biggest opponents are the major media venues. They will cover it to suit (say) their bias and insure what they present is against the GOP.
