For a party that has nothing but contempt and disdain for it's Conservative T.E.A. Party base, good luck to 'em.

If their so-called “data analytics” ignores the TEA PARTY, then it’s garbage in, garbage out.
Playing with computers is probably a lot more fun than reading the Constitution.
Yeah... data analytics. That’s the problem...
After all, they won in 2010 without all this new tech. Tea beats tech when it is tried.
I’ve always thought that an ideal part of our message should be in training candidates how to deal with a hostile media and how to answer questions during debates.
For example, let’s go back to the the Indiana US Senate race in 2012. Let at Richard Mourdock’s major gaffe that led to him losing a race he pretty much had in the bag.
And of course, there’s always Todd Akin in Missouri. His interview with Richard Jaco was so ill-planned that it made him look almost certifiable.
And lastly, we did our side no favors in the recent government shutdown. With the sole exception of some legislators like Ted Cruz and Sean Duffy, we were clearly unable to articulate our position to the American people.
RE: how to deal with a hostile media and how to answer questions during debates.
All those libertarian talking heads who tell us that “social issues” should be avoided don’t know what they’re talking about.
You might want to avoid social issues, BUT THE MEDIA WILL BRING IT UP REGARDLESS.
Better be prepared to talk coherently about gay marriage and abortion ( especially as it relates to rape ). THEY *WILL* ( I SAID *WILL*, NOT MIGHT ) BRING IT UP.
“...When numerous polls showed Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe with a comfortable lead against Republican Ken Cuccinelli in the Virginia governor’s race, the RNC simply stopped investing in television ads and voter-mobilization efforts...”
*************************************************************
This particular statement is pure BS. The real reason why they spent so little on the Virginia race was because Ken Cuccinelli was a Tea Party conservative candidate and not one of the GOPe’s boys.
Here is the most important data for them:
“QUIT PI$$ING OFF THE BASE AND STOP BEING PROGRESSIVE”!
We can and did articulate but media simply ignores that.
How do we get around that when they control the media almost in Toto?
They only present their message, it doesn’t matter what ours may be.
How about an “Integrity Surge”
More junk mail, more spam email, and more robocalls.
No thanks, Karl.
RE: Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin
OK, what’s the best answer to “abortion and rape” in 45 seconds or less?
Orca was such a hit, they green-lit Orca II.
More data crunchers?
Reminds me of companies that are in financial trouble. When a company starts laying off ‘floor’ employees and hiring more accountants, that company is in trouble.
That is what it sounds like for the Republicans.
More data crunchers is not the solution. The Republican problem is with the ideology they exhibit inside the beltway. The party Elites need to spend now until May or June outside of the beltway and find out what is going on in ‘Realville’.
The best thing that can happen is to have COUNTY level GOP make their own dbase...it’s what we are doing in our county tea party GOP. We finally figured out relying on state or national party is a fools errand.
And ...
Steffy to Romney: what would you do when a state bans contraceptives?
Romney: Huhhhhhhhh!!!!????!!!!!
And do something about vote fraud while they’re at it.
We can all see that the gop-e would rather a democrat win than a conservative. We know the the rinos want gay marriage and amnesty, whether it’s to take the issue off the table or they really don’t care or personally want gay marriage. They chase the democrats left no matter what the issue is. 2020 will it be lowering the age of consent so they can get the pediphile vote? Making it illegal to be prolife or forcing pastors/priest to marry gays...the depths of hell goes deep and the gop-e will go there if they think they can win. God help us. We need to pray desperately.
