How Russia Helped Swing the Election for Trump

Despite what we all now know what happened in 2016, it’s odd how the Russians made little attempt to interfere with the 2020 election, at least according to our “experts” and media. It’s like Putin wised up and decided Democrats were the best option to run the United States of America. But now that he’s kind of distracted, ignorant Americans are likely to vote against their best interests and elect Republicans in a wave so red, it reflected back on the moon on election day.

Whether it’s “voter disenfranchisement” or the “Russians”, there’s always some nefarious reason (aside from Democrats and their policies being loathed by the public) why they lost. What was just declared the “most secure election” system in history two short years ago, has quickly gone south as Democrats are expected to be sharply backhanded and Republicans tend to vote in-person on election day.

Despite labeling Republicans “election deniers” when Democrats win, that’s precisely what liberals and RINOs become when they lose.

Democrats Are Election-Denying ‘Extremists’. Let Us Count The Ways….

Seeing how the left and their media are the projection extraordinaire, the 2022 midterm election will be no different. They won’t even wait for the election results to be counted and made official before casting doubt on a process where Democrats will be beaten repeatedly with a splintered stick.

Now, one could argue the best way to ensure calm during the counting process would be allowing the maximum amount of transparency. Equal numbers of observers be allowed to participate and no attempts to obscure the vision of those monitoring the process. That kind of thing.

Despite the best efforts of the partisan media to portray Republicans as “insurrectionists”, there was not ONE video ever presented to the public that shows conservative activists and federal employees planning to physically overthrow the government should their side lose the 2020 presidential election.

But there WAS such coup-planning on the left and anyone who was in boarded-up Washington D.C. on November 3rd knew that the nation was not bracing what would happen if Joe Biden won, but what the Democrat left would do (based on their summer activities) to the nation if Donald Trump was reelected….

So, sit back and enjoy your chosen election coverage. The numbers coming in will be the only thing unpredictable. The vitriol spewed by an arrogant media and political class towards a general public that would not obey is expected. Some will be so over the top, it will be near comical.

But the same Democrats who’ve demonized millions who dared defy them and still have doubts about the legitimacy of their brain-damaged president, will be stoking the flames of “election denial” until enough votes are “found” to mitigate some of the damage.

2017

On Tuesday night, Democrats flipped two Republican-held state legislative seats — one in Oklahoma, one in New Hampshire — that Donald Trump carried in the 2016 election.

That makes six turnovers from Republican to Democrat in contested state House and Senate races so far in 2017 — and 26 out of 35 races (at the state legislative and congressional level) in which the Democratic nominee has overperformed Hillary Clinton’s showing last November. (Worth noting: Republicans have yet to flip a Democratic-controlled seat so far this year.)
— CNN, 9/13/17

2018

After the 2018 midterm elections, 20 House Republican incumbents lost their seats to a Democrat. Of those, 10 were in Clinton-won districts, while 9 were incumbents who Republicans had previously said were in competitive, coin-flip races.
— Axios, 11/8/18

2019

Republicans suffered setbacks in two states in off-year elections Tuesday, despite President Donald Trump’s efforts to rally supporters to the defense of GOP candidates down the ballot as the 2020 race heats up.

A staunchly pro-Trump Republican governor in Kentucky faced what could be an upset loss in his re-election bid. And in Virginia, Democrats seized both houses of the Legislature from Republicans, gaining full control of state government for the first time in 26 years.
— Bloomberg, 11/6/19

But that didn’t stop Ronna from basking in yet another Fox News appearance to make excuses for defeats by blaming the candidate: a deflection that will surely be employed for years to come.

The red areas are staying red and the blue areas are staying blue.
— Ronna Romney McDaniel, Fox News, 11/6/19

If anything, Ronna Romney McDaniel is consistent. Given the activities of her “progressive Republican” Uncle Mitt over the years, her appointment to chair of the Republican National Committee can only be politics-as-usual at the least, nepotism at the worst. And while her tenure as chair has brought in highly-touted record amounts of fundraising for the party, like most nonprofits, the only people who appear to benefit are those within the GOP apparatus. Certainly not down-ballot candidates or ultimately Republican voters.

According to FEC filings in 2019 alone, it appears a whopping 71% of the monies raised in 2019 has gone to “operating expenditures”, meaning pricey office spaces, travel costs, lots of meals, overhead expenses and very generous GOP staff salaries that keep them visibly well fed.

If 2018 was any indication, it doesn’t appear that the Republican Party supports state and/or local candidates if at all.

The state and local Republican (nonprofit) parties don’t appear to be any better off as those at the top find it easier to blame their voters and not their lackluster attempt to inspire them with a solid ground game and exciting candidates.

For example, Bill Card, Chairman of the Prince William County Republican Committee in Virginia laid most of the blame for 2019 flips of Democrat-to-Republican seats on GOP voters and did so on local Washington, D.C. radio.

…
While Card conveniently blamed the absence of a top-of-the-ticket draw, the same could be said about the Democrats and for some strange reason, they were inspired to get their voters to the polls; a feat local Republicans failed at big time.

Between hiring inexperienced, victory-challenged millennials to charge top dollar and consistently run losing campaigns to lazy and literally fat-and-happy heads of state and local Republican parties who show little interest in providing near zero evidence that Republicans are even on the ballot, it’s no wonder why disciplined Democrats are winning seats previously held by Republicans for decades.

For example, outside voting precinct #401 in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Democrats were present and readily handing out sample ballots. There were no Republicans in sight and in general there seems to have been an overall lack of urgency, especially given the highly-publicized monetary interference of George Soros. That was NOT the fault of the voters but of those who readily take in party donations and again have little to show in return.

Fairfax County Republican Party Chairman Tim Hannigan & Loudoun County GOP Precinct Operations Committee Chairman Lou Cironi were even less inspiring….

…
While those running the national, state and local Republican parties will continue to absolve themselves of results that would have gotten them run off The Apprentice long ago, Republicans in many locales will be forced to endure higher taxation, sanctuary states, counties and/or cities, infanticide on demand, anti-police #BlackLivesMatter and #Antifa promotion, assaults on the 2nd Amendment, LGBTQIAP+ anything and everything in schools, climate change mandates, Muslim special treatment, voting rights for super majority Democrat felons, gerrymandering run amok, pro-illegal alien programs and oversized welcome mats for “refugees”, complete with every housing, food and cash demand that can be doled out at taxpayer expense.

Yes, this is what happens when Republicans don’t vote.

It’s also what happens when the RNC party leadership provides little-to-no support for candidates, that is if we don’t provide Democrats the gift of more uncontested seats.

The red areas are staying red and the blue areas are staying blue.
— Ronna Romney McDaniel, Fox News, 11/6/19

Only someone who considers donors and voters stupid could make such a blatantly dishonest statement on national television with a smile.

Ronna Romney McDaniel is a self-serving, empty plus-size and the continued examples of her failed “leadership” has tricked down to the local level and the Republican Party is being made quite irrelevant.

It’s almost like this could be part of some divine plan to plow a path for a possible savior.

Uncle Mitt maybe…?

This Is the Woman Who Could Help Republicans Win in November

Ronna Romney McDaniel loves the phrase “You don’t get what you don’t ask for.”

McDaniel, 45, is supremely confident about asking for what she wants: Since January 2017, when she became the chair of the Republican National Committee, she has helped the party haul in well over $210 million, more than any previous RNC chair during a midterm election cycle. The Michigan-based mom of two has traveled more than 150,000 miles, visiting over half the states. But there’s no time to rest: Republicans are fighting to keep their hold on Congress in a November vote that is widely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump.
— Glamour Magazine, 9/13/18

If you can raise large amounts of money, cool. You need to be able to show results and if the game is politics during a political season, you need to assure donors and voters that you’re competitive. Appearances on cable news is one thing and it’s sad how that alone can be enough to give one credibility.

It also means you need to have players on the field, something Ronna Romney McDaniel’s Republican Party has monumentally failed at doing, especially in a campaign season predicted to be razor-thin close.

In 2018, a total of 3 U.S. House races do not have a Democratic candidate and 39 U.S. House races do not have a Republican candidate.
— Ballotpedia

The standard excuse issued is that some races are “unwinnable”; an excuse clearly debunked by that well-known term “upset victory”. However, upset victories are only possible if an effort is made and maintained.

Just ask PRESIDENT Trump.

When the final numbers are tallied on election night, we’re hoping the Republican Party keeps both the House and Senate so President Trump’s agenda can continue to move full steam ahead.

However should the Republicans lose the House and the margin is within 39 seats, we hope Ronna Romney McDaniel has more than excuses why the party couldn’t find and support a candidate to at least try and make those races competitive. We hope she has an even better reason on why she should keep HER job, which could be argued was more about the protecting the self-serving while making a half-assed attempt at recruiting those who wish to serve the American people.

In very few instances is a no-show acceptable, especially when it’s your well-paid job to not only raise money to keep your employees compensated and your expensive overhead covered, but to also support candidates who’re sticking their necks out.

That is, unless, you dropped the ball and there are no candidates to support.

11/7/18 UPDATE:

As it turns out, Republicans lost the House by 26 seats.

There are many teams prior to the start of the 2018 National Football League season that we all know don’t have a shot in hell in winning the Super Bowl, yet they try and find the best possible players to put on the field in an attempt to compete, and some even win. At the start of the last National Hockey League season, no one believed an expansion team would make it to the Stanley Cup final. Yes, they didn’t win but had they adopted the wisdom of the Republican Party, Las Vegas wouldn’t have even put that team on the ice.

Would those 39 uncontested seats have produced victories? That all depends on how invested Ronna and the national party would have been to that district, but it also shows the lack of interest a “sacrificial lamb” had in sticking his or her neck out knowing they’d receive zero meaningful help from the GOP. One would think Republicans living in those districts would have appreciated the courtesy of having a candidate, other than a Democrat, to vote for.

But her Uncle Mitt found his way back to Capitol Hill, one step closer to what he’s always believed is his birthright, whether the people of Utah or the United States want him or not and Ronna’s presence can only be there for a reason, given her years of experience and political acumen.

Romney McDaniel began her political career in 2012 working on the presidential campaign of her uncle, Michigan native and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. She was elected one of Michigan’s two representatives on the Republican National Committee in 2014 and was elected  chairman of the Michigan Republican Party in 2015.
— Detroit Free Press, 12/9/16

Turning Michigan red in 2014 wasn’t that monumental an accomplishment given the backlash that had been brewing against Barack Obama and Democrats for years. But her name was enough, losing with Mitt in 2012 wasn’t enough and now Ronna Romney McDaniel takes the 2018 midterm House loss with a smile.

That “blue wave” hit the Trump red wall… it was a great night for Republicans!
— RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, 11/7/18

Tell that to the driven Republican candidates who lost and voters who had no GOP option.

Let’s do some easy math.

In 2018, there were 435 congressional district races and 35 senate races. According to OpenSecrets, the GOP raised $283.6 million and spent $274.7 million. That could’ve come out to roughly $584,415.00 per race, not including what the candidates individually raised. Even if that expenditure per campaign were lowered to $450k per race so assistance could be shared with statewide candidates, there was more than enough cash to help candidates that needed support while keeping the GOP staff fat and comfortable with the remaining $34.2 million “cash on hand”.

Like most on the D.C. political level, failing to do what you were hired to do is not a fireable offense like in almost every other business entity. We’re probably stuck with McDaniel for the foreseeable future and we’ll also soon see where her true alliances lie and why she was installed as Chairman of the Republican Party in the first place.

Democrats use anyone to achieve a political means. While the party is technically broke, some of their deep pockets are coming to the rescue… for the children.

Announcing Our Diverse Democracy Grants

We’re excited to announce that this summer Teaching Tolerance is funding projects that involve students in non-partisan voter registration and turnout efforts. If you have a project that will help students become empowered voting advocates in their communities or one that encourages older high school students to register and vote, apply for a Diverse Democracy Grant. Grants awards range from $500 to $5,000 for classroom or school projects and up to $10,000 for projects on the district level. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until August 31, 2018.

Additionally, throughout this summer and into the fall, Teaching Tolerance will offer new resources for educators, including guides for supporting student-led voter registration drives, texts and lessons for teaching about voting and its history, IDMs for encouraging students to research and debate key topics in election law and class projects for connecting your school and your community through democratic engagement.

“Teaching Tolerance” is part of the Southern Poverty Law Center; the same Southern Poverty Law Center who labels people “hate groups” at their discretion and is a nonprofit that suckers bleeding hearts at the tune of around $50 million annually. Their little “Diverse Diversity Grant” project puts their presence in schools nationally, K-12, uses children who are conveniently receiving a one-sided political education, thus creates more Democrat voters ready to cast their first ballot in November.

This sounds too partisan to be legal.
