With recounts and run-offs pending, the 2020 election is in the home stretch. Most of the votes are counted, and the liberal media has already named its preferred candidate, Joe Biden, the president-elect.
But the 2020 election is not over—far from it. President Trump has not yet conceded, nor should he until the legal process runs its course. In Georgia, voting irregularities and potential fraud have been discovered, raising questions about Biden’s presumed victory in the Peach State. For example, more than 2,600 ballots in Floyd County were recently found uncounted, and they are likely to help President Trump narrow his 14,000-vote deficit to Biden.
To ensure accuracy, fairness, and transparency in America’s electoral process, the Trump campaign should leave no stone unturned in Georgia or elsewhere. We certainly won’t: The Committee to Defend the President recently invested more than $100,000 in the Georgia recount effort, simply to ensure that all legal votes are properly counted. Despite Biden and his media allies putting pressure on the Trump campaign to concede, Americans won’t know the final outcome until the electors’ December 14th meeting—and there is nothing wrong with that.
Look at it this way: 70 percent of Republicans believe that the 2020 election was not conducted fairly or freely. Why would President Trump abandon his voters to prematurely admit defeat?
No matter the final outcome, the Republican coalition is stronger than ever. President Trump received more than 72 million votes in the 2020 election, the most for a sitting president in U.S. history.
In 2008, Barack Obama received fewer than 70 million votes. In 2012, then-President Obama picked up fewer than 66 million. And the Obama campaign was universally praised (by the liberal media, that is) for putting together the most diverse coalition ever.
President Trump just smashed the Obama totals, adding to his minority support in the process. Over the course of four years, President Trump became even more popular among African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Hispanics. In Florida, 55 percent of Cuban-Americans voted for President Trump, in addition to 30 percent of Puerto Ricans and 48 percent of “other Latinos.” That is diversity.
Beyond 2020, Republicans need to take a page out of the Trump playbook. Gone are the days of establishment politics, exercised by Republicans In Name Only who are all too eager to compromise with left-wing Democrats. Gone are the days of political correctness, when Republicans were crucified by a biased media and played along with it. Gone are the days of flip-flopping, when Republicans campaigned on issues like border security but governed as open-borders advocates.
President Trump showed Republicans the way: Don’t make excuses for high taxes, burdensome regulations, runaway healthcare costs, globalist trade deals, illegal immigration, and other issues long accepted as the status quo. Don’t apologize for contrived scandals, propagated by Democrats with an axe to grind or liberal activists masquerading as “journalists.”
Always speak your mind—from the heart, to the people. The Trump rally is the blueprint for Republicans to message traditional conservatism to the masses, not like politicians, but as fellow Americans.
Which brings up the last point: Be proud of America. There is a reason why slogans like “America First” or “Make America Great Again” resonate with tens of millions of Americans—because tens of millions of Americans love this country. Regardless of skin color, those Americans are ready to support political leaders who believe in common-sense principles, such as free speech or law and order. When Democrats resort to anti-Americanism, as they increasingly do, the Republican Party needs to position itself as the party of the people.
Whether President Trump wins or loses in the weeks to come, the future is bright for Republicans. Our party is in a better place than it was a decade ago—but only if we learn the right lessons.
Who cares? The GOP deserves to die.
If any ballot in question does not has that voter’s name listed on that precinct list of registered voters. It’s not just the signature. What’s also required is the verification of name, address (location must be in that precinct), and citizenship and that’s done by canvassing.
The fraud must be exposed or we are finished.
Bushbot Liz Cheney is minority leader. This says everything about going forward.
Wherever they go, I won’t be going with them.
What’s disturbing is that, yes, the Democrats had to massively cheat to “win”, but in addition to that racial identity politics and gimmiedat are what millions of voters want.
I’ll ponder this matter after I’m done celebrating President Trump’s re-election.
The logic they’ll use is that since Republicans weren’t prevented from voting, and all of their votes were counted (maybe a few missed, but a tiny number), the Republicans have NOTHING to complain about.
Laugh if you want...but that is what’s going on now.
No, it’s not. The Republican coalition disappears once Trump is succeeded — either in 2021 or 2024 — by another jackass politician who has spent years in Washington. Even among Trump’s own senior leadership ranks I don’t see a single person who can be an effective candidate in 2024.
Mike Pompeo made a trip to the West Bank yesterday, and it was portrayed in the media as a “first step in a 2024 presidential campaign.” That globalist sh!t is simply not going to work. If you want to make a statement about being a contender for the GOP in 2024 you ought to be seen in places like Grand Rapids, MI and Williamsport, PA.
“No matter the final outcome, the Republican coalition is stronger than ever.”
That’s the DUMBEST statement EVER written.
They sandbagged DJT all the way, and if they prove to have succeeded in electing slo' joe, I am walking away.
The only person who can beat the demoncraps in 2024 (assuming dominion has won 2020) is President Trump if he should so choose to run again.
Frankly I don't see why he would. What an ungrateful nation.
“The Republicans will go the way of the “Whigs””
If Trumps falls, the GOP falls
If the GOP falls, the two-party system falls.
Then what?
A One-Party STATE into the foreseeable future.
If Republicans want to survive, they better get away from the big money corporate lobbyists and head out to man the guillotines, there are some Democrat and Deep State (and apparently foreign) heads that need to be lopped off.
Well, let's just see how the GOP legislatures of WI, MI, PA, GA and a SCOTUS with a majority of GOP appointees come through this mess, before we start tossing around words like "future is bright" and "Republicans" in the same breath.
That could be part of the cheat, where they increase the Republican votes but less so than they increase the Democrat votes.
Constitutional Republic Party. Now, we are already a uniparty. The GOP’ers become Constitutionals, or they stay Democrat lackies. We force their hand...but we never again get forced to vote for Bush, McCain, or Romney....
