I see a lot of refusal to look inward from Republicans in the aftermath of the mid-term elections. Very few, if any, want to publicly address their 3 most significant issues with independent voters :
1) Republicans hurt themselves with too many calls for abortion bans, without exceptions for rape/incest. Such a hardline stand is particularly unpopular in battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan.
2) Donald Trump has too much influence over who becomes the Republican Party nominee during the primary. This is especially damaging because Trump doesn't factor in the viability of the candidate in the general election. His only criteria is whether or not the Republican candidate is on board with his belief that the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged against him. That is how Republicans ended up with Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania.
3) Republicans didn't make the case for how Biden and the policies of the Democrats were more to blame for inflation than the Trump Administration. Most voters agree that inflation is a key issue, but they don't completely blame Biden for it. Republicans appeared to assume that just because they mention the word "inflation," that people assume that to be an attack on Biden. They needed to do more to explain what specific policies/legislation implemented by the Biden Administration and Democrats directly led to increases in consumer prices.
The post that I replied to up above, is just more of the same old whining and excuse making. Independent voters don't want to hear it anymore. Republicans need a new approach.
While I agree with some of your bullet points above, you are naive to think you've encapsulated the key issues. Democrats changed election laws in 2020 that they are now using full throated in a legal but possibly unethical way to circumvent fair elections in this country. Covid turned into the classic case of giving an inch and the left taking a foot.
Even if the left had no part in China releasing covid they quickly realized it was a godsend that would change elections forever. People that have no fundamental convictions about morality and ethics, or turn every argument into a gray area have no qualms about bending rules and cheating. It's the way they are wired. The left just wants to cheat and power by any means necessary so you turn unethical behavior into a law. They were ready to enact a way to leverage these changes because they've always wanted to find a way to get out 100% of the vote. To say this is not so is about as ignorant saying the riots of 2020 that democrats cheered were mostly peaceful and has nothing to do with smash and grab crimes that we now see that started after the riots.
We essentially got an invalid in the WH. You'd have to be a moronic sociopath to vote for this guy. They are doping this guy up behind the scenes to make him functional. He is an embarrassment before the world. We know unless bureaucrats are running the administration - gender confused, woke, race baiting, climate alarmists, power hungry, enemy loving, Marxists.
Funny that a peion would want to argument facts with a successful businessman and senator who is well thought of and spoke and has shown a lifetime of mastering the nuisances in different fields.
Please pleasure us with any evidence that Bill Haggerty is not credible.
The fact remains that democrats changed election laws that allowed them in some states to mail out ballots, in some cases multiple ballots because this stuff is not accurate to every voter months before elections. Then they have a mechanism to follow-up. They deadline has been extended to receiving ballots after the election. And voting starts months in advance in some states. It's unprecedented and very different that much of the world. It is ripe for potential fraud on both sides, but many more on the democrat side doesn't care. They tend to come from more dirty characters.
