one of the most dramatic upsets in political history,

2018-01-14 23:48:16 UTC  

the strategy was simple,

2018-01-14 23:48:57 UTC  

the GOP sent out consultants to diners in small towns all across America to ask them what they disliked about Washington,

2018-01-14 23:50:32 UTC  

from what they said, the RNC crafted what was known as the "Contract to America",
a list of legislative promises to fulfil if they gained control of Congress

2018-01-14 23:51:22 UTC  

Newt Gingrich is on Trump's side

2018-01-14 23:51:24 UTC  

the GOP got a bunch of young, new Republicans to run and saw a enormous shift to the party

2018-01-14 23:51:33 UTC  

Trump will definitely be listening to him for this election season

2018-01-14 23:51:35 UTC  

the thing is, how do we accomplish something similar w/ an R congress and president

2018-01-14 23:52:04 UTC  

the problem is today most politicians are old and out of touch

2018-01-14 23:52:09 UTC  

defining something like a MAGA contract for candidates running for congress

2018-01-14 23:52:22 UTC  

Trump definitely should have a strategy room for this, it's the most important thing possible between now and 2020

2018-01-14 23:52:34 UTC  

most politicians have never been to a small town except for maybe a pre-planned photo op

2018-01-14 23:52:43 UTC  

from what I can tell, Trump not only knows it's super important, but it'll be one of his main prioritis this year

2018-01-14 23:53:37 UTC  

I started making these election threads a bit earlier...arguably it's even too early for people to care about the primaries right now

2018-01-14 23:53:45 UTC  

this will get him a wall, RAISE, obamacare repeal, whatever he wants, he would fulfill so many campaign promises potentially with congress that much on his side if he breaks the amnesty coalition

2018-01-14 23:54:20 UTC  

I'm sure there are lots of people PLANNING to run right now though, it's just that voters won't start caring about primaries until springtime at the very least

2018-01-14 23:55:00 UTC  

Have you ever wondered why Trump did so well in South Carolina?
Here's why,

2018-01-14 23:56:00 UTC  

y'know, some day I may run if the opportunity arises

2018-01-14 23:56:08 UTC  

this image, it might not seem like much. But it did wonders for optics. It made South Carolinians feel like he was at there level

2018-01-14 23:56:16 UTC  

there's so much damn potential that can be done nowadays

2018-01-14 23:57:14 UTC  

kinda like the pic of Nehlen w/ a Five Guys wrapper, it brings him down to earth, right?

2018-01-14 23:57:24 UTC  

yeah

2018-01-14 23:57:47 UTC  

I'm going to be very, very, very surprised if there aren't a decent amount of congressional candidates using Trumpian tactics

2018-01-14 23:58:55 UTC  

the thing we have to figure out is how we get about channeling that grassroots energy into a party with a majority in Congress

2018-01-14 23:59:13 UTC  

technically the amnesty coalition is the majority, but the Rs have the illusion of power

2018-01-15 00:00:14 UTC  

we seem like the "establishment" now to the uninformed person, how do we turn it around?

2018-01-15 00:00:25 UTC  

Oh, oh,

2018-01-15 00:00:38 UTC  

I was reading this report by AP the other day,

2018-01-15 00:00:51 UTC  

the thing is, 'uninformed' people tend to be those who don't even bother voting, much less in the midterms

2018-01-15 00:01:09 UTC  

so that doesn't really matter

2018-01-15 00:01:36 UTC  

I mean uninformed in the sense of watching MSM day after day, not really as apolitical

2018-01-15 00:01:49 UTC  

misinformed would be more correct

2018-01-15 00:01:54 UTC  

they interviewed some Trump voters in Appalachia,
they said it would mean the world to them if Trump went down personally there to see them.
not like a rally, just to look around and talk to them

2018-01-15 00:02:10 UTC  

I'd say that people who voted for Trump can be counted on to vote against the democrats

2018-01-15 00:02:39 UTC  

especially if he campaigns all around the country with the congressional candidates he backs

2018-01-15 00:03:06 UTC  

definitely

2018-01-15 00:03:25 UTC  

neverTrumpers can also be counted on to vote against the democrats, or at least they can be influenced to do so

2018-01-15 00:03:26 UTC  

the Trump physical energy rallies people like nothing else

2018-01-15 00:03:49 UTC  

I have no doubt that Moore would've won if Trump made an appearance in Alabma

2018-01-15 00:03:52 UTC  

Alabama
