The GOPe does not care if Trump wins or loses. They retain power regardless. But they prefer a Christie or Pence in the WH. Someone from their side of the political tracks. Where Trump would destroy both in primaries, DeSantis may not. The GOPe's love affair with DeSantis is a lot of sweet nothings and they will leave him at the alter the first chance they get. I believe RINOS feel they can beat DeSantis with one of their own or control him in the worse case scenario.
I believe we need to coalesce behind one candidate ASAP. By the time the Primaries hit South Carolina it's all over but the crying. At that point, the candidate needs to stop the heavy campaigning and start building a massive get out the vote infrastructure trained in RAT style vote harvesting. If the candidate is a Pence or Christie type, it is over before the general election. MAGA and conservatives need change gears and push for control of the House and Senate, State Houses and AG positions. Play the long game, forget the Presidential election it will already be lost.
Forget what used to be and address the new paradigm. Build massive very aggressive get out the vote organizations in Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada. Bring in CA GOP operatives and teach how to ballot harvest the RAT way. Bring in a massive amount of lawyers to challenge the States voter rolls immediately after the primary. Time and time again we lose because we challenge after the general election. Use the massive voter role fraud in places like Milwaukee to take the RATS to court early and often. To a large extent do the same in Virginia, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. Force the RATS to expend money to hold states they feel are safe.
Dump a huge bolus of early money into the coffers of GOP candidates in the Socialist RAT autocracies of CA, OR and WA. Let each of them build their own ballot harvesting teams. Do the same Red States where additional House seats are available. Cali GOP candidates have been doing it for years let them train the rest. Imagine what thousands of ballot harvesting teams could do through out the country. Actually don't imagine just look at the RATS machine.
Lastly, get conservatives in Governor and State AG positions. Get control of the elections. Play the long game. In NC we hold a veto proof majority in the House and Senate and we just flipped the State Supreme Court. We have a great candidate for governor, who is very out spoken and very popular. He would also be the first Black Governor of NC. We have played the long game and put a$$hole like Tillis in the Senate although he is universally disliked in the State. It is about taking and retaining power. The RATS understand this better than we do.
I will say this and I expect to be slammed for it, Trump is myopic. In the big picture all he sees is Trump. It has cost him in the last few elections. Endorsing political loser because they pander to him. As the RATS have shown us, it's about power and control not personalities. Trump has to stop looking in his magic mirror and endorse some people he may not like or do not like him. Get them into office to solidify conservative control of the GOP. Make sure they know who put them in office so like or not they follow his lead.
Great post. Thanks...
