We need organized ballot harvesting in States where that is legal. Mail-in ballots are not going away any time soon. We need to be collecting them from the first day they are delivered. "Vote early".
We need 120% turnout where that can be done. (Hey, it works for the Democrats). If that cannot be done, we need organized efforts to purge voter rolls. And we need organized efforts to block registration of homeless people and illegal aliens. All of these "non-profit" groups that register new voters need to be obstructed at every turn.
Dead people and imaginary people are not eligible to vote. Neither are people who moved away years ago. If objecting to their presence on the voter rolls is called "Voter Suppression", then we should advocate frankly for "Voter Supression".
Let's be the nightmare that the Democrats keep accusing us of being.
We need legal teams at the ready to file challenges to every close election and keep demanding recounts until the Republicans win.
That is what the Democrats always do. It works. We must learn from our enemies. They are our greatest teachers.
I agree, but we're not going to be able to enact electron integrity policies until we first win elections.
The Democrats were smart. Once in power, they legislate to consolidate their power and make it easier for them to continue to get elected.
Republicans, on the other hand, do little out of fear of being called racist.
And so here we are.
In the past two weeks, Republican Christine O'Donnell has narrowed Democrat Chris Coons' lead in Delaware's US Senate Race from 19 points to 10 points. The latest Monmouth University Poll finds Coons has the support of 51% of likely voters to 41% for O'Donnell. Two weeks ago, the race stood at 57% to 38%.She had a late surge, but it wasn't enough to overcome the negative media (the "witchcraft" charge, the falsified tax liens, the GOP infighting (Rove). etc.).
The sad thing about this is that it was Chris Coons who turned Jeff Flake (R-AZ) against conservatives, and especially against Brett Kavanaugh. If only the Republican establishment got behind her the way that the Democrats do for their own...

But it’s so much easier to just keep on doing the same things as we have and then blame Soros, MSM, Fraud, Illegals, or whatever we blame when we don’t win.
Most Republicans are like spoilt children playing on a sports team :when we win it’s skill and doing the right thing, when we lose it’s cheating and fraud.
I’m certain RINOs would love for conservatives to go back to falling for their “who you gonna vote for the democrat?” after their RINO candidate finishes pretending being conservative then sells us out. When a conservative wins the (R) nomination, they all say they’re voting dem.
They hated Reagan. They hate Trump. You can even hear it in some of the RINO responses here — they hate the grassroot conservatives. So as for voting for anyone with an (R) next to their name, it will be on a we’ll see, no guarantee basis.
If every conservative who posts on the internet spent 1/100th that time registering people, there would be few Democrats in any office anywhere.
Last election I got 7 people registered and took 6 other people to the polls. Doesn’t do a lot of good here in CA for the state and federal races, but school boards, state assembly, city councils, county supervisors- those races really matter much more to the day-to-day lives (and often have a LOT to do with where and how votes are cast and counted) and are often decided by just a few dozen votes.
One evening of phone banking does more to MAGA than a hundred thousand posts no matter how well argued and written.
Should people like me, who certainly will vote against Don the populist in the primary, just stay home during the general if he is the nominee?
No R nominee will win the general without votes from Rs who did not vote for him/her in the primary.
That definitely includes Trump. Who is nowhere near as popular within the party as some prior candidates.
Which R candidate would be worse than Biden?
“The Democratic Party suffered huge losses at every level during Obama’s West Wing tenure.
The grand total: a net loss of 1,042 state and federal Democratic posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency.”
The greatest gift in GOP history resulting in the most unlikely outcomes Trump becoming POTUS.
Following this flashing neon sign ignoring that 1000 a day for decades have been fleeing blue to red states-
did the Democrat party have any period of self doubt?
Instead of moving towards the middle, they kept plowing left to we’re at trans infants now.
They went for four years Trump cheated. They’ve done the illegitimately elected next Hitler to almost every GOP POTUS in my lifetime.
Despite 90% of wealthiest men ever, billionaires and 95% of the 1/10th of 1% zip codes. Plus collusion of 90% of US industry and institution against. In addition to massive govt censorship at every topical site on the most 50 visited list at this moment.
This includes the least secure elections in the history of the first world despite our nation already holding what are perpetually corrupted elections. Philly hasn’t had an honest election for dogcatcher in 200yrs.
The solution is ignore all that and focus on better candidates even though a truck driver almost took out Murphy despite all of the above-and it is not cherry picking. The power the GOP currently holds despite it all is the proof.
Yes Laxalt should’ve won, 2 or 3 others were favs whom lost, some of the candidates were awful. The RNC is like a 300lb jockey.
Nothing would be more awful than moving to the middle-this move being mostly nominal it is not as if the GOP actually runs cons anymore- when it is obvious that the leftists did nothing of the sort despite an historical repudiation of policy under Obama.
Didn’t the GOP go 27-0 in House toss up races recently? The year Shalala lost?
BTW the balance of power page at wikipedia is more purposeful obfuscation. It used to have the historical House and Senate graphics like it has the state legislatures-it showed Obama was really hated as much as they project Trump being hated.
“No Republican president will ever again win the popular vote. Even the Electoral vote is becoming increasingly out of reach. On the morning of Election Day, the Democrats start off with, at a minimum, 257 EVs already in their pocket. “
To put a finer point on it…
GOP has only won the popular vote for President ONCE since 1988.
2020 Trump no
2016 Trump no
2012 Romney no
2008 McCain no
2004 Bush Jr yes
2000 Bush Jr no
1996 Dole no
1992 Bush Sr no
1988 Bush Sr yes.
That’s only twice, in 32 years.
And I agree with you that the electoral vote is an incredible challenge now due to the built in advantage of California, New York, Illinois one party state status.
But I also would not be surprised if Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona and those other swing states were out and out stolen in 2020. All of those states going dark at about the same time on election night with Trump in the lead and the every one of them coming back hours later with surprise surprise Biden ahead? Please.
And don’t forget the Pennsylvania vote count similarly stopping for no apparent reason on election night 2016. Unfortunately they couldn’t “find” enough votes for Crooked Hillary that night. They weren’t going to make that mistake in 2020.
Add up the EVs from these States:
California
Oregon
Washington
Colorado
Illinois
Massachusetts
New Jersey
New York
Connecticut
Vermont
Hawaii
DC
These are all the States the GOP nominee has no shot at winning. That means the Rat has over half the EVs they need without spending a single dime.
And what did the Republican legislatures of those States, solely responsible for the appointment of Electors, do about this?
< crickets >
I cannot identify anything at that link that demonstrates that this article is wrong.
I don’t advocate running RINO’s at the Presidential level. DeSantis is no RINO. Castle was the best the GOP could do in that race.
I’m not sure what that’s supposed to prove. Obviously that poll was not accurate. Even if it had been accurate, losing by 10 is hardly competitive anyways.
Yes, when the RNC and GOPe both refused to help do anything
productive while they pouted at Trump winning in 2016, there
were actual consequences.
Who knew?
They also fought tooth and nail to block Judge Roy Moore from
joining the Senate. He would have been a sure vote for our
side for decades.
This narrative tries to drop the lead weight near Trump’s
ankle. Good luck with that.
Voters aren’t all stupid you know. 2024 is coming like a
freight train, and if Trump buries the opposition like I
think he will, guess who will benefit by his coat-tails.
It’s not the John F. Kerry types.
LOL! Which election cycle are you evaluating? It seemed like you were claiming the most recent election went well.
But did the RINOs, if that’s what you want to call them, do any better last year?
Trump or no Trump, the GOP is in trouble in today’s loony America.
Read again.
It is even color coded showing that the GOP despite being up against it in every way shape and form currently holds immense power and has not even come close to losing back the elected offices gained under Obama.
Shalala was 2020 where the GOP was something like 27-0 in toss up House races.
i cannot identify one single reason to buy into some epic losing streak that doesn’t exist. Not only doesn’t exist but should exist to the point of being undeniable given all the corruption and collusion.
