What Should The Republican Party Do Now?

Strategy going forward for the Republican Party:

1.  Kick the Lincoln Project people and the Never Trumpers to the curb.  The GOPe that fought and undermined Trump?  You don’t need them nor do you want them. They aren’t for people they are only for themselves.  Replace Jeb Bush with Trump, or Romney with Trump.  They’d have conceded days ago, and would be talking to their agents about speaking fees while setting up country club tee times and ordering catering for at-home dinner.
2. Kick out the consultants, the grifters, the non-government organizations who do nothing but chatter type people from leadership positions.  They are wrong half the time and when you are in a fight you can’t rely on them.  Ask my friend Dan Proft about Illinois….you don’t want to go there.  The Republican Party in Illinois is a feckless, lifeless, rudderless, flaccid piece of crap. Viagra wouldn’t help them and if it lasted for more than four hours they wouldn’t know what to do.
3. The big takeaway from this election is this:  do big time reach out to Hispanics and Blacks. Don’t send them candy.  Go out, interact with them. ASK QUESTIONS. LISTEN.  ASK MORE QUESTIONS.  Then, go to the states you control the legislature and governor and enact free market individual liberty focused policy that reflects what you learned.  Be a party of action.  As we know, Joe Biden was in government 47 years and what did he accomplish?  Be doers.
4. Talk about the “dignity of work” and recruit people that think that way.  Poor Whites and all minorities generally value the dignity of work and ironically have a lot of free-market values.  Most aren’t interested in government handouts that warehouse them.  They want a chance.
5. Fill every single open federal court position in America by December 31.  If you lose the Senate the holy hell that is going to be facing the minority will be tiddlywinks compared to what Harry Reid did, and the slap back McConnell gave.
6. Don’t abandon voters like this that have no hope.
7. Propose term limits for Representatives and Senators.  12 for Reps, 18 for Sens.

For example, from all data I can gather school choice is a very popular policy with lots of people.  Why isn’t Texas enacting it statewide?  Mississippi? Alabama?  Florida? South Carolina?  Tennessee?  Utah?  Idaho?  Indiana?

I don’t want to hear “We have some, we are doing a good job.”  Now is the time to be aggressive.  You have two years until another election, and four years to another big one.  You can change a lot of hearts and minds with action.

I also don’t want to hear Republicans say, “Well, we got a few more votes, turned some House seats and saved/almost saved the Senate”.  You don’t set the agenda and put in place policy by losing the big elections.  You have to win.  We don’t want a bunch of Bob Michael’s to run the Republican Party.  If you don’t know who he is look him up.  Mr. Permanent Minority.

Yes, you will lose elections.  You can look for grains of positivity, but you still lost.  Why?  Figure it out and come back fighting to win, not meekly.  Given the history of the Republican Party I am afraid they will be Romney/Bush meek.  That’s not your role model.  Trump might not be either but at least he fights.

If the state has to, reject all federal education dollars and go into deficit spending to change school to a school choice only program.  Make education competitive.  I don’t care about the teacher’s union because they are not going to be on your side.  It’s a way to break it up and decrease the influence of it.  On a small scale it seems to work for Hillsdale College.

• Invest your time and energy recruiting small businesspeople, entrepreneurs, independent contractors, tradespeople. Expose them to 1776 Unites, The Policy Circle and organizations that are grassroots like that which will put them in networks with people similar to them. They are people of action and will be more in line with free-market policies.
• Do not lead with social issues.  Reject identity politics.  Reject victimization. Expose it.
• Do everything in your power to crush public-sector unions.  That means 401(k) pensions.  It means being a right to work state.  No surrender on that.
• Clean up your voter rolls and make them squeaky clean.  Come up with a new process and procedure to take the human variability part of elections out of the order of operations. Voter ID in the short run is a must.

Here is a policy example. A stupid question is “Are you pro-choice or pro-life?”. It’s asinine.  Who doesn’t love a baby?  The most ardent pro-choice people have children and love them.

Instead, shouldn’t we be asking questions about why people even have to make that decision at all?  Shouldn’t we be talking about changing the opportunities available to them so that they don’t follow the dreadful path that forces them to a decision like that?

Would they be in that position and make the same decisions if they had a better education?  Hope for a better life?  More options?  It’s worth thinking about.

That’s my takeaway from the election.  I am seeing other takeaways that show racism is alive and well with its corresponding white supremacy.  That’s bullshit and F&^% those people.  I have no time or mental energy for them.  They are clueless.  Racism in America for the most part is dead.  It’s a relic of the past and only kept alive by the left to get what they want.

What people want is opportunity.  If you are a Republican-dominated state, now is the time to change policy drastically and give opportunity to them.  You will be surprised what happens when people experience freedom.

Thanks blowhards for your input. They know who they are.
