tshile Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Don’t worry I’m sure the gop will find a way to circle back up once trumps gone and pick the ideological war with you back up until then stay focused on the task at hand and enjoy long time gop thinktankers and messaging chiefs actively trying to guide their followers into voting for your guy this time (and everyone knows down ballot effects so it’s not like they don’t understand what they’re trying to do and the potential ramifications) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 1 hour ago, PleaseBlitz said: Biden is trying to give traditionally GOP voters who don't like Trump and Obama/Trump voters a permission structure to vote for him. It is similar to what The Lincoln Project and Republicans Against Trump are doing (when they aren't just trolling Trump). I seriously doubt Kasich is going to show up and advocate for GOP policies, he's going to say that Trump is a disaster, bad for America, and that reasonable republicans should vote for Biden. I would certainly hope the progressive base isn't offended because one anti-Trump republican showed up. Edit: I would also invite some member of the academic conservative establishment, like Bill Kristol or George Will or someone like that. The man pushing for Sara Palin. The neocon pushing for the Iraq war and would love for us to invade Iran? Joe did that, he would see his convention turned off and those progressives; he needs will not be so motivated to come out. There's a reason why Joe has progressives on his various policy teams and why he's moving more towards their direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks like George Will could make the case for voting GOP after Trump is gone at a Democratic Convention in way that's too smart for a lot of folks to get at first. I don't want to sound insulting, just it will sound beautiful in the moment, then four years later used in a campaign ad for the next GOP presidential candidate without even editing it, he's that good.

You're right, Biden should roll out a consistent lineup of Bernie and the Squad and play right into the ****ty desperate narrative Trump is pushing rather than letting republicans make the case to gettable republicans (who are a disproportionate part of the electorate in PA, WI, MI and AZ). LOL at the reference to the Iraq war. It was nearly 20 years ago and Biden voted for it. Does anyone care anymore? Also, I feel obligated to post this.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 New Trump ads in NC are plenty disgusting. All about how unsafe we’ll be in Biden’s America. One ad flashes “innocent children will be shot”. Another shows an old lady trying to call the police (but they aren’t there because Biden defunded them) and being assaulted by an intruder. Ends with the phone falling to the floor. Solid effort from GOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid effort from GOP. Trump will flood the key states with those ads. And it will bring him his wavering base back into the fold. I still have really seen any Biden ads.

No Excuses Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 21 hours ago, tshile said: I usually try to think a out political party moves along the lines of strategy instead of morality or even ideology (cause it seems to me that’s how it operates at the top anyways) and so I often put myself in the shoes of being in charge of the GOP and asking what should they do. And the only answer I can come up with is wait until the Dems screw up and make platform changes to take advantage (whatever that might mean) It's going to be white grievance politics and conspiracy theories for quite a few years. There isn't any pathway out of a white nationalist platform that doesn't involve pissing off the most rabid part of your voter base that is more interested in inflicting pain onto its enemies than proper governance.

PleaseBlitz Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 The 2022 Senate map looks pretty grim for the GOP too. Flip opportunities in Wisc, NC, PA and OH. Maybe even Iowa if Grassley retires. No obvious Dem seats that might flip. http://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/the-future-shape-of-the-senate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be a bore or anything but this guy keeps doing exactly what i predict almost as if i am one of his advisors. But, we all know this election will happen normally and Trump will continue our tradition of peaceful transfers of power after fair elections, right? Sure he will. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this time it's far louder and incredibly upfront in its racism, it's really not completely different than what the GOP has been running on for a long time: fear. In the time of Dubya it was "If you vote for a Democrat, terrorists will kill you and your family." Now it's "If you vote for a Democrat, dark skinned people will come to rape and kill you and your family." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
