Want to know how Republicans can win in 2024?
By taking a few pages out of the Democrat playbook, that's how!
You also need strong, principled and fearless leaders running your local Republican party. Not a bunch of spineless RINOs. But really courageous go-getters who aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and do the hard work that's required to take on the well-oiled democrat election machine.
Here's some advice from the most unlikely of places, deep blue Connecticut, where Republicans did exactly that, and won.
It started nearly two years ago when hundreds of energized Republicans from Greenwich, CT, showed up on a cold January night en masse in order to re-energize their local party. It was no small undertaking and required a lot of secret, advance planning... a "precinct strategy" as Bannon calls it was employed to take over the Republican Town Committee (RTC) in Greenwich.
Sure, they hit some stumbling blocks along the way and suffered painful losses in the 2022 midterms, but that didn't stop the new Greenwich RTC. They never gave up. They kept going and going, uniting more and more people under their "big tent".
Perhaps most importantly, they studied the democrats to learn what the opposition did better

Trump was ahead in CT until the late night mail-in ballot vote dumps. Nobody ever talks about that.
Beat the Democrats at their own game.
Greenwich had a median household income of $180,484 in 2021 and is known as one of the richest cities in America. The median home value in Greenwich is over $1.5 million, and many residents work in finance and banking in NYC
When choosing between a real DemocRat and a spineless pseudo Republican, many voters will choose the real DemocRat.
Why would I expect an unpopular ideology win?
Democrats win in Connecticut because it’s mostly Democrat.
Never know what you will get in the F you state.
If the Connecticut Republicans can imitate the Greenwich Republicans, they could enjoy 2024, especially if they flip the second and fifth congressional districts. They need to get out the vote. I just took a view of the election results of my hometown, 29,000+ voters, 6,000 votes cast for mayor. Yes, it’s an off year election, yet, only 20% of voters voted.
George Logan was leading J. Hayes (a radical anti Semite Democrat) in the Fifth district, but he lost by 200+ votes. He’s running again...
First, Greenwich, CT is not a city, it is a town that runs on a Town Meeting/Selectman form of government. I suspect most reading this does not know what that means. Their government is controlled by a yearly Town Meeting where most of the major decisions are made by those who show up at the meeting (as long as you are registered to vote in the town). Day to day operations are run by three elected selectmen, two of which won re-election Tuesday. They are both Republican.
Second, Greenwich, CT is not deep blue. The difference between the Reps and Dems is just 2%. I would suspect a majority of the Unaffiliated are republicans who do not want to be tagged with a party label.
Percent of Registered Voters Percent of Vote On Tuesday
Republicans 28.59 36.33
Democrats 30.28 32.89
Unaffiliated / Other 41.13 30.78
Greenwich, CT has a population of 63,000 which has to make the largest town by pop to run on a Town Meeting basis. It is mostly rural with large estates dotting the landscape. It is 47.8 square miles.
