The truth is ALL republicans failed. The party failed, the party leadership failed, the rank and file conservatives failed. We all ran, supported, and hoped the election would turn out as we wanted. For all the recriminations posted here this is the crux, and @jamil has been on it with how the left are winning, NOBODY on the right put in place a plan to beat the dems with the new election protocols.
HEMINGWAY: We really did see given all of the enthusiasm in the country that Republican leadership really failed Republican voters. Republican voters were excited. The -- the ground was very fertile for a big Republican victory. Joe Biden's approval was in the toilet. 75% of the country thinks we're going in the wrong direction. Just objectively speaking, things are bad in the country, whether it's the southern border or crime or foreign policy, inflation. And that Republican leaders could not turn that into a big victory for Republicans is really an indictment for how they're running things.
I could not agree more with your opening where you talk about the importance of understanding that elections are not run anymore like they were in the 1980s. There is now extensive period of voting where people who are smart are running get out the vote operations every day, hauling in ballots every day.
Republicans keep on thinking that election day is a single day and they think if they get everybody excited for that last day that that will be sufficient. That's not sufficient. There needs to be an effective ground game that is on Republican leadership and there's only so much that everybody else can do with their enthusiasm and everything else.
