Republicans in swing states worry that they see scant signs of groups door-knocking for Trump: ‘I haven’t seen anybody’

Dems always beat the GOP in door knocking campaigns because Republicans work.

What is most important this year is preventing widespread voter fraud and harvesting, and having an army of lawyers at election sites in all toss up states.

Next, spending money on ads in the swing states focused on immigration/crime and inflation/economy.

We have not even seen local pols or would be’s doing so, just text, email, or phone. I just block them all if I can. Why should I support someone from another state?

LOL, not many people have the mettle to face the public by visiting their homes, it is a great filter for who can sell and who can’t, and who can close the deal.

If you are trying to build a political party base of activists, all this applies, the ones who have the courage to knock on cold doors, who have the perseverance to keep knocking and facing the rejections, and the talent to close the deals, are the political warriors who will run your operations and fight to win.

The only time I feel like not voting is when my local party apparatus bombards me via text, email and phone. There’s got to be a point of negative returns on all that.

[ansel12]

All those are different from having people care enough to visit you.

I don’t want that visit and you don’t want that visit, but those visits in large numbers and focused on populations that don’t bother to register and then vote, can swing elections.

Human contact, personal attention, chatting with people on their couch in their own home, can get them to vote, and talking to them in their own language is a huge advantage and helps win them over if that comes into play.

I never liked doorknockers regardless of what they’re peddling. It’s best to have a fenced perimeter, cameras, dogs etc.

Same here. Except for the dog-she passed. As for the etc, I use this site to compare prices https://ammoseek.com/

You sound like you're in fantasyland. It's 2024 and the last thing anyone should be doing is allowing complete strangers into their homes. Gezzz..

It takes a real stupid/ignorant individual to go unannounced, uninvited and enter the private property nowadays.

[ansel12]

Weird post, you only gave your opinion that people should not allow people into their home, it doesn’t mean that all these interactions with canvassers and salesmen signing contracts are not taking place, while the canvassers would be at the couch the salesmen sign their contracts at the dinner table.

[ansel12]

You really don’t know what you are talking about.

[dragnet2]

Sure I do. You’re just too stupid to get it.

[ansel12]

You are letting your fears, and for some odd reason, anger, convince you that people aren’t doing something they are doing every day, all this is reality, it is a massive business, and a massive activity for those who aren’t related to business, such as the subject of this thread.

“Why should anybody be knocking on doors of Republican voters? they’re already registered.

We need to register people that aren’t affiliated with either party.”

Getting people registered is only half of the task. We also need to make sure they get out the vote!

[dragnet2]

I think uninvited door bangers peddling whatever, arriving totally unannounced, and then entering private property are really ignorant stupid people. Compounded by the fact the homeowner has NO idea who the hell these people are.

Even if they’re legitimate and not there to hustle, kill or rob you, at minimum these people are effing rude and totally disrespectful thinking their not interrupting/disturbing the occupants.

You should stop playing stupid games.

Thanks

You keep posting your angry personal opinion over and over about canvassing making you unhappy if it ever happened to you, I don’t know why, but write the GOP and share it with them, tell them to leave all that foot work and vote getting to the democrats if it makes you feel better.

[ansel12]

Notice that the democrats not only go to their homes to woo them and register them but they also send buses and vans to pick them up and take them to vote.

[dragnet2]

Write the GOP?

The GOP is an extremely corrupt organization, why would I write them?

[ansel12]

Write whoever you vote for and tell them not to pursue votes by going out and meeting people and registering them and getting them to vote.

Here is a cartoon for ya, it might help you grasp what your GOP is all about.
