[DIRTYSECRET]

With more than $300 million in political funds at his disposal, Donald Trump has become a central figure in Republicans' efforts to protect their thin congressional majorities, but party leaders, donors, and candidates say they are still waiting for clear guidance as November's midterm elections approach.

It's been 30+ years since the last Contract With America. With a thin majority we've got the public on our side(immigration). Abortion is behind us. After six years in office Trump's not taking any chances. He's called for a September midterm convention that would in effect put him back on the ballot this November. Draw up the contract at the convention and present it on Sept. 28, the anniversary of the first one. Call it a vote of confidence for the whole country. The possibility of 55 senate seats would make room for the rinos to play their games to no effect. More importantly it would set up the country-and the GOP- for '28.

When does the earliest early voting start? Seems like late September might be a bit late for a mid-term convention. Should be at least two weeks before any voting can begin.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I’m not one to go to the well too often but many voters are not old enough to remember the last contract. If the voter ID gets passed in the senate this week we might not need it but if this contract idea is presented in late September it would cover all the early voting periods.

[Biblebelter]

It’s early to assess Trump’s legacy.

If Voter ID passes, it could well be seen a decade from now as Trump’s greatest accomplishment.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Should we lose the house in November Trump will be spending all his time playing defense. He deserves better and it’s up to us.

If we can poach a couple of governors offices in states with geezer senators ready to croak just think what a GOP appointee could do in the short term.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’d like a three step approach

1) Voter ID - help us have more honest elections
2) Arrest corrupt Democrats — help the country see that these people are just criminals.
3) Create a short list of promises to the American people to make the future better.

I think they are all important, but I put that Contract with America last because I think it is the least important of the three.

[misterdarcey]

Good... now spread the $ around.

[HYPOCRACY]

How much is Massie gonna get?

[DIRTYSECRET]

Think Trump accounts. No taxes on tips or SSI.

Will the beneficiaries care to reward them with their vote? We’re living in a what have you done for me lately mode.

BJ didn’t pay a price for raising taxes on SSI in ‘93 and neither did that astronaut senator whose reelection was 2-4 years away.

[Mr. Blond]

I thought MAGA was the contract.

[TornadoAlley3]

Senators are spoiled brats. They work against Trump’s agenda. Get a challenger and then bitch because Trump will not promise them $$$.

[Socon-Econ]

I thought MAGA was the contract.
*********
Just repeating “MAGA,” without telling voters how it will help them, will lose the election. Like the Contract With America, we need to push the issues, telling voters what’s in it for them. Lower energy costs. Lower crime. Kids who learn what they need at school. Lower taxes. Fewer drugged kids and shrieking leftist women. No more DEI pilots and brain surgeons.

[desertsolitaire]

Is that a lot, comparatively?

[napscoordinator]

September 18 is the beginning of voting for a few states. September 19 a bunch more.

[dware]

Unless it’s a contract to charge those in the Epstein docs, it doesn’t matter. Unless we have nooses on the White House lawn on July 4th, the Trump/MAGA era will come to a quick end.

[napscoordinator]

Trump needs to spend every penny of that 300 million. It’s his last election forever.

[HYPOCRACY]

John Glen. I think the economy will be going so strong by the election that the Dems will be banished to the ash heap. The Trump accounts are a great thing. Fix voter fraud and healthcare, keep deporting and let the private markets do their work.

[Republican Wildcat]

I wish it was 10 times that amount at least.

[right way right]

Don’t need a contract!
The GOP needs to go full MAGA and EARN it!

It’s always a carrot and a stick forever in your face and just out of reach.

[who knows what evil?]

Maybe the somalis should show how the RNC how to raise piles of cash...
