Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel on Sunday advised 2024 candidates to focus on Independent voters after the GOP failed to deliver a once-expected “red wave” in the 2022 midterm elections.

“I look at 2022 as the ‘Year of Independents,'” McDaniel told Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures. “In every single battleground state except Pennsylvania, a Republican won statewide – so we had more ticket splitting than we’ve ever seen.”

“So [in 2024], it really is going to be how do our candidates appeal to Independent voters?”

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Spoken like a member of Clan Romney.

Shh…we like to pretend she isnt Trump’ handpicked RNC chair

Trump did not endorse Rona for chair in 2023.

This is a bar chart for countries that have murder rates far in excess of the USA.

The red bars indicate the ones that are major sources of people Democrat Joe Biden let into the USA. Most of those people are of the age group that commit the most murders.

In 2016 , Hillary was way more hated and toxic than Trump.
Trump a lifelong Dem knew it too and ran for the gop ticket.
She drove people who rarely vote to get out and vote against her .
That's why in 2008 the DNC cheated and pushed thru Obama . They knew she was that hated and toxic .
Unfortunately, Trump is now that super toxic - hated candidate since 2018 .
He disastrous midterms thanks Disaster Ronna in 18 .The Gop lost the
Gov and state houses in Penn , WI, MI, which insured the 2020 loss.
We are heading down that path again in 2024.

Screw the GOP and the RNC. They haven’t had our best interest in mind for years. All they want is your money, and your vote. Once they get it, they ignore you, and kick you in the teeth until the next election cycle rolls around. Then they’re back again begging for money and your vote once more. They are serial abusers.

Have you ever missed the opportunity to spew your negative Trump commentary on any thread on this site? You show up all the time like a bad penny, but at least the penny’s worth something.

This is a graph of Social Security payouts.

The red one is if 50 million American babies had not been aborted.

The blue one the current distribution.

In 1973 the Supreme Court issued the Roe v. Wade decision. In the early 1980’s Social Security benefit ages were raised because previous financial projections were killed off one baby at a time.

She gets paid the big bucks for this? hasnt it been important to appeal to independents EVERY election?

[rfp1234]

Duh.

[Reno89519]

Be nice, she was endorsed and is there because of Trump. Surely, she represents his best interest. You should be supporting her just as you likely do Trump

[b4me]

Maybe, just maybe, if they really reviewed the increased amount of “ticket splitting” they just might come to realize some of those tickets were not original/authentic or otherwise altered.

[Brian Griffin]

Miss, do you have a good job?

Yes, and it pays well.

Stand by the cutout of the presidential candidate you think will let you keep more of your paycheck in the coming years.

Is there a graph in that post?

"Trump a lifelong Dem..."

Trum was born in 1946. Back then you had to be 21 to vote. That means he became eligible to vote in 1967. Up until the 80's, his political affiliations from 1967 to 1986 are unknown. So you can't say he was a life-long Democrat. Below are the known political affiliations for Trump. It shows him as a registered Democrat for 8 years...hardly life-long.

Trump Political Party Affiliations: Republican (1987–1999, 2009–2011, 2012–present)

Other Political Affiliations: Reform (1999–2001)

Democratic (2001–2009)

Independent (2011–2012)

Independent voters are bandwagon voters.

Facts?

We don't need no facts!

We don't need no steenkin' facts!

[Lisbon1940]

Make sure to back the base and enough honest independents will respect you for it.

Yes, why not focus on independents. Some independents have
shown how they feel about he likes of Christie, Pense, and the
weakest of bushes. Perhaps, DJT has an ace up his sleeve to
actually present another,THIRD party MAGA, to form his own.
He certainly has his own followers who would jump aboard the
MAGA PARTY. Yes, McDaniels is a fool, but being Sir Mitt's niece, what would you expect? Donald did endorse her for this
chair. Yes, he did. But why? Due to the fact that she IS
Mitt's relation and shown herself to be one long before now.
Wake up, people. Don't you understand. She's playing right into DJTs hands. The man is a strategist. Don't forget THAT fact. Rona, owned by the republican party,has,unknowingly, cooked the party's goose. JMTC

Independents can be anything and are anything, they cover the full spectrum, including those of us who have always considered the GOP too liberal to join.
