The GOP need a reliable and consistent turnout machine.
“The GOP need a reliable and consistent turnout machine.”
The psychology between Democrats and Republicans is wildly different. Democrats are like the crowd in front of the guillotine, engaged, screaming for heads. Republicans are, in general focused on their immediate concerns and politics is something that happens in presidential election years.
I listened to a Republican trying to engage college students with factual arguments. They kept interrupting, cutting him off to answer the first portion of what he said. He had a hard time even getting a single thought out. Republicans believe this is rude. But rude is the Democrat’s default condition.
Too many differences to list them all. But it is damned near impossible to get Republicans engaged with politics at the street level. They are much more focused on themselves, their family and to a lesser extent the community.
Connolly won his last election in 2024 by a 67%-33% margin — his SMALLEST margin of victory in ten years. The GOP didn’t even field a candidate in this district in 2016.
If I was a Republican donor I’d be outraged if the national GOP spent even a nickel on this race.
Democratic turnout was down by more than 150,000 from 2024, based on the last numbers I saw.
Stop buying into this stupid Democrat media narrative. In fact, this sh!t shouldn’t even be posted on FR.
We will get trounced without Trump in the ticket in 26.
Mail-in ballots are so much easier to turn out...
Voters need to get off of their asses.
How do we they didn’t show up?
Maybe they did...
But their votes didn’t.
We sign in digitally at our polling place now.
No more paper sign in book.
Isn’t that handy.
