Commentary: Six Bold Ideas for Trump, Republicans to Rebound from 2022 Midterms

After an underwhelming midterm election, the Republican Party and its enigmatic leader Donald Trump find themselves in a political wilderness, much like Ronald Reagan did after losing the 1976 nomination. 

The Biden Democrats with hiding Kathy Hochul and hobbled John Fetterman seemed as beatable as bumbling Gerald Ford, and yet somehow the Reagan and 2022 GOP teams lost the process even though polling data showed they had won the hearts of the faithful. And the despair of knowing a far left regime (Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden) might rule for another election cycle led many to throw hands up and point fingers.

  2. Trump needs to drop death penalty talk for fent dealers, backpay for covid aholes, and forcing dem states to take money. Trump needs to embrace our constitution.

  3. I have to laugh. Republicans STILL don't seem to get it. How stupid (or dishonest) can these people be? It's not the campaign strategy that's failing, it's the electoral process. It's mail in voting for christ sake. Mail in voting (outside of the military) gives the Democrats all kinds of ways to cheat. Why do you think they've pushed so hard over recent years to put it in place and make it the norm? With the advent of the internet their goals and ambitions for the nation have become much more open to the public, which is making it harder for them to win honest elections. This means they've had to get more creative and increase the scope of their cheating efforts in order to win. A few dead peoples votes doesn't cut it for them anymore. The answer: mail in voting. Now they can throw in thousands and thousands of extra votes instead of hundreds. The Republicans are toast as long as mail in voting stays in place. And if I know this, so do they.

  4. Here's six bold ideas for the GOP-
    Require voter ID
    End early voting
    Outlaw ballot harvesting
    Stop the use of ballot drop boxes
    Accept no ballots after the end of election day, regardless of when they were postmarked
    Make voter fraud punishable with a year and a day in prison, mandatory.

    That would be a good start.

  6. Unless the 1st item on the list is public execution of people engaged in election fraud/theft then nothing else will matter.

  8. Fake Republican/fake conservative Trump will never be reelected if he gets the nomination. In the meantime, he's continuing to destroy the party from within.

  9. Republicans should cheat as hard as Dems. Manufacture loads of ballots and stuff the drop boxes. Make the Dems scream about fraud and want election reform.

  10. Doubt we can get there, but here's roughly the direction we need to go..........

  11. First, voting in person on election day only, with I.D. for American citizens only. No mail in vote unless overseas military or documented shut in due to illness or infirmity. Second, no corporate contributions to campaign coffers, and no individual contributions over $1000. No glossy mailers cluttering mailboxes, mandatory "town hall" style debates between candidates to debate issues pertinent to the specific office the candidates are running for - not smokescreen b.s. about stuff no one gives a shit about. Candidates who win office sign a contract with their constituents, that they either do their job, or lose it by referendum - no free ride until the next election. They need to understand they work for us or lose their job immediately, no more getting 'em in the next election.
    And here's my favorite... they hit the time clock every day by 8am, clock out at 530pm, half hour lunch and two 15 minute breaks. It's a fucking job, not a vacation. And no overseas trips, period. They fucking work HERE, for US - or they're OUT of office. Timecards accessible online for their constituency and attendance matters and is monitored. No more than two terms period, we don't give a fuck how 'good' they are. Verified work history, and looking up their ass with a microscope regarding personal history, financial history, etc. And, you get paid your salary, any indication that you are enriching yourself due to your high office, the money is confiscated and distributed to the constituents.
    If they don't like it they can go get a real job like the rest of us. Fuck them.

  12. From what I'm just hearing the only place Trump might be going is to jail. The asshole DOJ head Garland just announced 2 special councils to look into charging Trump with various federal crimes.

  15. No ideas needed. Just paper ballots.

  16. There is no legal method left to stop the left from cheating. They own every mechanism tasked with keeping them honest. If the GOP tries to match them by cheating the GOP
    people involved will be arrested, tried and jailed....in very loud and public trials. The left has proven irretrievably they are above the law. There is absolutely nothing we can do to stop them from cheating.....legally. The only methods left to us are extrajudicial.
