Election 2024

Election 2024
“Our voters need to vote early,” McDaniel told Fox News. “I have said this over and over again. There were many in 2020 saying, ‘Don’t vote by mail, don’t vote early.’ And we have to stop that and understand that if Democrats are getting ballots in for a month, we can’t expect to get it all done in one day.”

Link to Quote: RNC chief on criticism of early voting: ‘We need to stop that’ | The Hill


I know that I can't restrict comments, but this article is primarily for our more Conservative members and our loyal readers. We are moving into election season and though it is always said that the next one is the most important, the 2020 election may have already been the final nail in the coffin for America. That election left the most radical revolutionary group of people in power in the nation's history. Our institutions are dominated by radical left ideologues with a Soviet style police force operating at the federal level. As we turn our attention to the next election, we ask ourselves how we can turn it around?

On the democrat side we can expect a repeat of the 2020 campaign, which will feature a hidden away Joe Biden and the outsourcing of the campaign, once again to Silicon Valley titans and the dishonest left-wing media. Of course the left now has perfected the use of voting process over political issues, which is the hallmark of a banana republic. The way they are handling Trump is to launch a series of indictments during the entire campaign season, which intended or not, have gained him empathy and raised his poll numbers. Their plan depends upon Trump becoming the nominee, at which point we will again get the 24/7 smearing.

Thus we are left with the RNC and who Republicans can nominate. On one side we have the doctrinaire Republicans led by Nikki Haley. This would include Asa Hutchinson and a long list of potential candidates. Then we have the flip side, which is where the Republican Party really is in 2023. We have Trump, DeSantis and Ramaswamy. It is very early, but at the current time the GOP dilemma is that the man who can clearly beat Biden is trailing Trump in the primary and the man who currently looks like the nominee can't beat Biden.

Donald Trump: He is facing the prospect of Alvin Bragg dragging out a bogus case that only the most partisan Trump haters could defend. That is followed by the sexual harassment civil case from ages ago, totally unsupported, that has been appealed and may likely wait until after the election for a final verdict. Then another NY DA will hit him with his Real Estate portfolio. Then there will be the GA phone call. All of it will be coordinated to keep it in the news throughout the campaign.

In the meantime, Trump attacks his most likely GOP opponent from the left, saying things like DeSantis was against social security etc. The media has played along portraying Trump as reasonable in this regard and clearly working to get Trump the nomination. Right now Trump has received a lot of support via empathy. How long that lasts may seal his fate.

Ron DeSantis: This is the man that the left really fears. Trump gets angry but DeSantis gets even. As Governor, DeSantis has shown that he knows how to be effective, and it is clear that he knows what America's problem is. He has gone right after woke policies. He focuses & fixes problems. He is only 44 and is more of an ideologue than Trump and has none of the baggage of Donald Trump. Although I once heard a leftist analyst (I don't recall who) say that we can do the same thing to DeSantis as we did to Trump, in reality it will be a lot harder for them to do it to DeSantis. I'm sure the democrats will try to smear DeSantis. After all they have learned nothing, nor have they forgotten anything.


The unforeseen: One thing we know about elections is that there are surprises that enter in. We all recall 2008 when the Financial/Housing Crisis hit. With the democrats early voting that has less impact now, but one can imagine something like the death of Trump or the launching of, let's say, Joe Manchin deciding to run as a "No Labels Party" candidate.  Those would certainly affect the outcome. Last night Sean Hannity berated Ronna McDaniel for not making the GOP conform to the new voting procedures put in place by democrats in 2020. That is an absolute must. Republicans will have to learn how to beat democrats at their own game and it needs to be done soon.

Wow. That is quite the revelation there, Vic. I am just going to assume that the right will do that, too.

I wish that some good politicians (I know, that is an oxymoron) would give up the fringe, or better yet start with a concept of how people in the middle, centrists, see themselves. I think they would find that it is not necessary to pander to the  fringe of one side or the other to gain the most votes.

Apparently, rightly so.   But that does not matter.   In a nation of our size there will of course be those who are entirely emotional about Trump (both emotionally for and emotionally against).   Given.

Do you think that current opposition to Trump for PotUS is predominantly emotional — they do not want him for PotUS merely because they 'hate' him — or based on facts (e.g. he irresponsibly lied about the US electoral system being rigged, voters being disenfranchised and denied the legitimacy of Biden as PotUS ... and more)?

Actually yes.... the operative word being currently.

The people currently focused on the presidential election 18 months away are definitely more emotional than rational.  Most of those people have heated opinions about a guy who isn't even an actual candidate, so yeah, it's all about emotion right now.

As we get closer to the actual event that will change.

Well I am focused on Trump being the likely nominee and my issue is entirely rational.   I do not hate Trump (as an individual, he is irrelevant); but I do deeply care about the precedent he set as PotUS and the fact that he is likely to secure the GOP nomination.   I doubt that I am in the minority.

I assure you that it is perfectly rational to form a position on an extremely well-known candidate with profound baggage who should never be allowed public office yet — in spite of said baggage — has a commanding lead in the polls.

One can rationally conclude that Trump having a chance at the GOP nomination is bad for our nation (and horrible for the GOP) without hating Trump.   Facts and logic alone illustrate this ... no emotion required.

Ron DeSantis doubled down yesterday with his support for a ban on early term abortions (6 weeks).  This will essentially doom him in a 2024 general election. 

The right is not going to learn their lesson. Women in swing states will come out in great numbers in order to prevent such an anti-abortion crusader from becoming president. 

If DeSantis had a 50% chance of winning before this , that has gone down to 15% or 20% now.

The reason why the right to choose has not being perceived as more important than many other issues is because that right was not in jeopardy for 50 years.

First of all John, we are a democracy and the population of each state gets to vote on it.

Second of all John, the reason it was a matter of national law for 50 years was because 7 Justices made a ruling, they had no right to make. Abortion is not covered by the Constitution. You do believe in the Constitution?  Or is it just an obstacle for the left?


 Look at the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election. The Democrat won largely because of the fear that electing the Republican would have solidified an anti-abortion majority on the state Supreme Court. 

Yes John, that was one of the takeaways from that vote. The other was the influence of the very young voters in that vote. That is probably why GOP candidate Ramaswamy is running on making the minimum voting age 25.


I cant stand DeSantis, but I'll give him some advice. Stop talking about abortion, period. 

I'm sure you can't stand him. He's against all the radical ideas that destroyed the country. As for the advice, it may be too late. He at least stood by his views.

DeSantis and other conservative leaders such as   Rep. Lauren Boebert   and   Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , have recently touted   Christian nationalist   ideas – a political ideology that asserts an intrinsic connection between being American and being Christian.

The influential daily newspaper, one of the most  widely read  in the state, points to DeSantis' invoking of Christian war imagery, as he said in a recent speech: "Put on the full armor of God. Stand firm against the left's schemes."

Republicans such as DeSantis have found a "political gold mine" by pitting Christians against the "so-called evils of the left," such as LGBTQ people and "woke" teachers, the paper says.

But, the newspaper's editorial board warns that Christian nationalism can have dangerous appeal beyond just religion.

"We cannot overlook the overlap between Christian nationalism — and its nostalgia for our "Anglo-Protestant" past — and white supremacy," the editorial says, noting that many devout Christians enslaved Black people centuries ago.

The article also cites recent  data , laid out by Robert P. Jones, the head of the Public Religion Research Institute, which suggests that "the more racist attitudes a person holds, the more likely he or she is to identify as a white Christian."

Christian nationalism is also not just about religion, according to Ryan Burge, an Eastern Illinois University professor who studies the intersection between religion and political behavior.

Burge told the paper that its appeal also related to nostalgia for the days when traditional values weren't questioned – when "a woman was a woman and a man was a man," a popular gripe amongst conservatives.

The paper suggested that DeSantis' embracing of Christian nationalism hints at him eyeing 2024 GOP presidential primary voters, as Florida, which he won by a "razor-thin" margin in 2018, has long been considered a purple state.

The paper also criticizes Democrats for failing to come up with an effective counter-narrative to politicians like DeSantis that does not demonize religion or come across as proselytizing.

"If DeSantis is telling his followers to go fight to shape the nation to their religious liking, the counter-narrative should be that this rhetoric could not only incite violence, but it also undermines Christianity itself," the editorial says.

How does one conflate the news end of a newspaper with its editorial page?


And as to Robert P. Jones:

"Jones constructed his index by scoring how individuals answered certain   questions . For each question, there was a binary scoring: One set of answers signals racist views while the other set signals non-racist views. Yet on a number of these questions, other surveys indicate that a sizeable share of black respondents gave the racist answer.

Respondents were asked: “Do you think most white Americans have benefitted from racism against minorities?” Answering “Have not” was scored the racist answer. Yet in a   CNN-sponsored survey , among blacks and Hispanics surveyed, 27 and 39 percent, respectively, answered “Have not.” Does this make these respondents racist against themselves?

Let’s look at the question on Confederate monuments: “Do you see monuments to Confederate soldiers more as symbols of Southern pride or more as symbols of racism?” Answering “pride” was scored as racist. In a Huffington Post  questionnaire , only 58 percent of blacks surveyed answered that it was racism; 17 percent were unsure, and 25 percent believed it reflected either pride or some factor other than either race or pride.

A question concerning past immigrant success was also included: “Irish, Italians, Jewish and many other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Blacks should do the same without any special favors.” An affirmative answer was scored as racist. But when black Americans were asked the same question, Matt Yglesias   reported   that only about a third disagreed.

Jones’s questionnaire also included a question about work ethic: “It’s really a matter of some people not trying hard enough; if blacks would only try harder they could be just as well off as whites.” An affirmative answer was scored racist. But again, the CNN survey indicated that this is exactly how a substantial share of black Americans answered. Specifically, 42 percent of black respondents believed lack of motivation and willingness to work hard was a major problem, 35 percent believed it was a minor problem, and only 21 percent believed it was no problem at all.

Jones’s survey also covered police actions: “Do you think recent killings of African American men by police are isolated incidents or are they part of a broader pattern of how police treat African Americans?” Answering “isolated” was scored racist. There are two problems with this framing. First, a respondent might think killings are isolated but also believe there is discriminatory use of nonlethal force, leading to support for a broad range of police reforms. Should a person with these views be deemed racist?

Second, there may be credible empirical support for claims that there is no racial bias in the police use of lethal force and killings of unarmed black Americans are isolated. The   Washington Post   has   reported   the following number of unarmed blacks killed by police in recent years: 23 in 2018, 14 in 2019, and 10 in 2020 through October 28. Moreover, Harvard economics professor Roland Fryer analyzed police shootings in California, Colorado, Florida, Texas and Washington State. He   found   no racial differences in shootings overall, in any city in particular, or in any subset of the data. Recently, he   noted ,

Several scholars have rightly pointed out that these data all begin with an interaction, and suggested that racist policing manifests itself in more interactions between blacks and the police. The impact of this hypothesis in our shootings data seems minimal. The results on police shootings are statistically the same across all call types—ranging from officer-initiated contact with a suspicious person (where racism in whom to police is likely paramount) to a 911 call of a homicide in progress (where interaction with the potential suspect is more likely independent of race).

If Jones’s constructed index is so defective, how could much of the media so unquestioningly embrace it? Does it reflect animus towards those who do not support liberal social-justice narratives? At the very least, it suggests that Jones began with a view that racism is the only explanation for any unwillingness to support his visions of white supremacy. As Michael Powell deftly   points out , white supremacy is ill-defined and too often stifles an ability to understand the persistence of racial disparities.

While there is no denying the persistence of racism, it alone cannot explain the gun violence that harms too many black neighborhoods and the weak academic skills of too many black ten-year-olds. To combat these serious problems, we have to move past white racism to identify the most effective policies. Only by improving black neighborhoods and black early age education can we significantly reduce the persistent large racial disparities that plague our society."

now long lasting obsession with what the Democrats do

You literally just said Republicans will lose if they nominate DeSantis. I was responding to your obsession with Republicans, and the palpable efforts of Democrats to ensure DeSantis isn't nominated. A successful govenror of a purple state who isn't senile is too much of a contrast for Democrats to handle.  Hence the desperation.

Do you think a majority of Americans support men participating in women's sports, mutilating and castrating minors, governmental discrimination on the basis of race, reparations, open borders etc?

Democrats have figured out majority support for policies don't matter. Cater to the special interests that the base cares about and majority opposes to ensure 100% support from the base come hell or high water.  Once the policies are enacted pivot to demonizing the Republicans. That's all they do.

It's pretty clear Democrats won't be running on Joe Biden's popularity and celebrity status.  Biden doesn't have coattails.  So, even if Biden can win reelection that won't help down ballot.  And the down ballot elections will be more important in 2024 than the White House.  The Democrats' campaign strategy will focus on a party platform and policy agenda.

Republicans can't win down ballot with a rockstar Presidential candidate.  For 2024, the White House is the booby prize.  Republicans need to control Congress and statehouses.  And the only way to be successful down ballot is with a party platform and policy agenda.  Piecemeal diatribes by a rockstar candidate won't provide leadership and guidance for down ballot candidates.  Whining about what is happening won't cut it with independents.  The only way Republicans can compete down ballot is with a plainly stated and concise message for what they'll do about it.

The era of warm, fuzzy Obama catch phrase politics is over.  It's time to put rubber on the road.  And, right now, Republicans don't have tires on their campaign wagon.  America won't work if Republicans refuse to.

Sure there is.  Biden ain't Trump.  You see, Biden can play all the dirty tricks he wants because he's not very important for down ballot races.  Down ballot Democrats won't be latching onto Biden's coattails.  That's why down ballot is far more important than the White House for the 2024 election.

Republicans can nominate a rockstar and try to make the election a referendum on Biden.  But down ballot Democrats have the luxury of distancing themselves from Biden.  Down ballot Democrats can run on issues.  Democrats want to regain control of Congress and statehouses.  That's the trouble spot for Democrats' policy agenda.

Abortion is being determined in statehouses.  Immigration is becoming an issue in statehouses.  Gun control has become statehouse initiatives.  The kerfuffle over state legislators being expelled and censured tells us that statehouses have become important targets for the Democratic Party.

How long have Republicans been yammering about states rights?  Well, today's political landscape is all about states rights.  The current SCOTUS has shifted to strengthening states rights.  Republicans peeing down their legs about Biden will only give them wet socks.  The White House is a booby prize in the 2024 election.

So, what are Republicans going to do to change direction?  You cite numerous examples and they're valid gripes.  But none of this happened because Biden had a wild hair that needed scratching.  Democrats, up and down the ballot, have been forcing the country in this direction.

Democrats have an agenda that serves as a navigation chart for the country.  What's the Republican alternative?  Big government is already imploding and can't get anything done so there's no need to drown it in a bathtub.  Tax cuts won't build factories and revive the middle class.  American capital running to China to make a quick buck isn't investing in America's future.  And war drums to send the military into every little stinkin' shithole doesn't defend the United States.

How are Republicans going to change the direction for the country by only griping about Democrats?  Let Democrats defend their agenda against a better alternative.  And if Republicans can't explain why their direction is better, in plain language, then why bother voting for Republicans.

Of course. The FBI probe began on July 31st, 9 days after it was revealed that Russia had hacked the DNC and four days after Trump asked Russia to "find" Hillary's emails. After Trump's idiocy, the Australians notified American intelligence of the Popodopolous statements. Putting two and two together they started Hurricane Crossfire.

Just to be crystal clear, supporting / defending Trump means making excuses for Trump (excusing the inexcusable), be willing to vote for Trump if he is the nominee, etc.    Criticism of the Ds has absolutely nothing to do with supporting or defending Trump.

"Ron DeSantis: This is the man that the left really fears. Trump gets angry but DeSantis gets even. As Governor, DeSantis has shown that he knows how to be effective, and it is clear that he knows what America's problem is. He has gone right after woke policies. He focuses & fixes problems. He is only 44 and is more of an ideologue than Trump and has none of the baggage of Donald Trump." 

After the pandemic and the lockdowns and the ongoing inflation that that shows no signs of abating, the American people are looking for an extended period of what could be called normalcy. They've come to realize that the Dems can't keep their promises. The majority of them do not embrace progressive policies that continue to divide the country.

If Trump is at the top of the ticket, Democrats would have a five-point advantage in the generic congressional ballot, leading Republicans 47 to 42 percent.
