yeah, that's what I'm saying, we need to get Rs on their feet and registered, momentum and energy, that's all it is.
Democrat voters are different than Republican voters though
we need candidates who aren't Saccone,
R's have been more reliable when it comes to turning out in general
now, these special elections for state legislatures may tell you otherwise
people who go out and reach out to the people
but then again, they're pretty inconsequential right now given how large the GOP majorities are in these state legislatures
except in the case of Washington and almost Virginia
btw it's retarded that people pointing out how the recent Kentucky special election race had such a massive flip
because in 2016, the actual state legislature race was almost 50-50
one day maybe we can be those guys who reach out to the people
it went something like 75-25 Trump, but the incumbent seemed to be pretty connected to her district to manage to make it 50-50 with people voting downballot
it's you're going to argue that the state legislative flips mean nothing, then you would have to also say that it meant nothing when Obama lost 1000s of seats as well
it meant something because it was 1000s of seats over the course of a long period of time
whereas the GOP has been losing these special elections in legislatures where they already have such a large majority, it isn't worth caring about until the big day in November
we'll need to light a match under the R voters
ideal candidates:
1.) grassroots
2.) ideological purists
3.) no personality cultists (reagan, bush, trump, anyone)
5.) saints (no scandals)
6.) no too many ties to corporations and special interests
these are the six pillars to the perfect candidate
It's too bad we don't have control over the RNC, the three of us
if that were the case, this is what I could achieve.
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 the kinds of people who have some of those six pillars will tend to not have some of the others
Ted Cruz fits all these pillars
he didn't win,
number 7 would be a big enough microphone
people who aren't milquetoasts tend to not be saints
that's true
but you can balance it out
Cruz had too much saint-iness
what do you mean by personality cultist?
that they revere someone else like Reagan/Trump
or that they have a tendency to form a cult of personality around themselves
someone who ties their leg to a candidate and has none of their own ideas
Didn't Cruz get into a bit of trouble a few months back, he was caught liking porn on twitter or something like that?
that was a staffer, and it died out pretty quickly
@FLanon I wonder if that was a calculated stunt to make him seem more human
