RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel says Republican candidates need to appeal to Independents in 2024
NY Post ^ | August 20, 2023 | Caitlin Doornbos

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?”

The McDaniel-led GOP has lost five election cycles in a row. Now she plans to jettison the 30 to 40 percent GOP Trump supporters to move further left to bring in a hoped for additional ten percent in Democrats and “independents”.

The main reason the GOP continues to lose is that they refuse to address election fraud. Another reason is that many conservatives are fed-up with the GOP’s continued folding to the left and bowing down to the progressives and supporting DIE policies. All in hopes that the media will stop criticizing them. Something which will never happen. The GOP has been openly fighting against its own voters ever since the Tea-party became a thing.

I read earlier today a comment elsewhere that stated that the GOP is running 1980’s campaign strategies in a 2020’s political environment. It will not work. As long as the GOP continues to ignore election fraud and betray their base with false promises they never plan to keep, they will continue to lose.

And probably 2028. Trump will be telling us 2024 was stolen and demanding he be nominated again.

Trump did not endorse Rona for chair in 2023.

Not true. Trump pushed her in 2016 2018 2020 and 2022 .

As I said, Trump did not endorse Rona for chair in 2023.

January 21, 2023: “ Trump hasn’t made a public endorsement, but he and his team are privately advocating for McDaniel, whom he tapped for the position shortly after his 2016 victory. ”

“...says Republican candidates need to appeal to Independents in 2024”

You DO NOT win unless you lock-down your base, and the Republican base is the Trump voters. Whether the RNC likes them or despises them (we know that answer, LOL), the Republicans CANNOT win with them.

As to independent, only AFTER locking down the base does one move towards independents.

Your source is unnamed.

Now I'll cite Trump: "'Let them fight it out".

"You can’t help but be intrigued"

For me to be intrigued, you'd have to say something that isn't made up.

No, Repubs need to ballot harvest ...
Next, they have to volunteer en-mass in polling places ...
Before that, challenge voter roll in EVERY single precinct. ...

How will that prevent the use of the National Preemtive Emergency Cellular Network being used by ATT / DoJ to access, undetected, any voting device with a wireless modem built in, just like your new TV. Like they did in 2020.

Well, she is correct,(for a change).

But all but Trump seem to be concentrating on trying to appeal to the Establishentarians.

Yep, heard this before. Move away from the base to include more of the middle. The only thing is, people have already decided. There values are entrenched. The side that will win will be the side that:

- limits the other side’s cheating
- mobilizes its base prior to the election day
- appeals to the base enough for them to get to the polls on election day.

The middle (independents) are just a minor player in elections.

Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

  1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
  2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
  3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
  4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
  5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
  6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
  7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
  8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
  9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
  10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

Why he never learns is beyond me.

He operates on impulsiveness and hunches rather than comprehensive due diligence or wisdom.

That's his MO.

It's pretty tough to be appealing to anyone when you have no core values. I can't even tell what the GOP stands for these days. Ronna, do the country a favor and resign.
