Democrats Aren’t Going to Win Mid Terms

 1. Don’t know what they are doing wrong: 

Autopsy was incomplete and identified nothing.

Seriously won’t admit Joe Biden’s condition was hidden for couple years.

Extreme progressive positions aren’t popular. Who wants to live in a Communist/Socialist country? Talk to people who lived there. I have.

Not even changing leaders. Chuck Shumer less popular than the president.

 

2. Not trying to get Independent’s and disaffected Republican votes.

Democratic base is too small to win elections without them.

 

3. Marketing:

‘Affordability!’ is the most mayonnaise bland slogan ever. Really?
Instead of dreams focus on doable solutions. Save Social Security. Less deductions for the rich. 1-2% higher taxes on rich.

‘MAGA Republicans’ and president are extremely unpopular. Use it. 

Lack of Attack Ads, bumper stickers and memes. Short and sweet motivating people to vote. (Not forty page position papers)

 

Examples Attack Ads / Memes / Bumper Stickers: 

 

Vote No Kings (bad image of president)

     Vote Democrats

 

No wanna be gods (TruthSocial image or similar)

     Vote Democrats

 

Save Social Security

1-2% higher taxes on rich

     Vote Democrats

 

Save US Budget 

Less deductions for the rich.

      Vote Democrats

 

No More Unnecessary Wars!

     Vote Democrats

 

More MAGA Incompetence?

     Vote Democrats

 

More MAGA Republicans?

     Vote Democrats

 

No MAGA toadies ignoring laws!

     Vote Democrats

 

Find your opponent’s weaknesses and exploit. The party and /or nonaffiliated groups must attack opponents.

 

4. Each candidate has different strengths. Candidates have to run advertising with their best 1 – 3 positive local messages appealing to base, independents and disaffected voters. (Can’t come from national party)

 

Note criticism is coming from: 

Non-politician. Have friends running for both parties. Several in office.

Swing voter who never votes a straight line ticket

Businessman with engineering degree. 

Worked all over US to stay employed.

Pro-people, minimal bureaucracy, pro-business (who pays salaries?)

 

Democrats need feedback from independents and dissatisfied Democrats & Republicans. MAGA takeover of Republican party has opened the door to moderate voters who decide elections. Can you adjust?

 

Misconceptions About President Trump

It has been a few months and both the press and opposition have not figured out President Donald Trump. Let alone why Trump won the election. Lets clear some misconceptions:

1) Rural / Country Votes Defeated Hilary

Not enough rural votes to matter. The Democrats struggled with the Suburbs. People on government support voted for Hilary, the people who pay the taxes did not.

Hilary won California by 4 million votes. She lost the other 49 states by 2 million votes.

2) Expecting President Donald Trump Will Act Like a Politician

Donald Trump won the election despite the Republican Party, despite the Press, and despite the Democrats being incumbents. He ran as an Anti-politician. He has said outrageous and provocative statements to shake up the election. Look at his selected Alpha business CEO advisors who get things done to lead his government. They will act very different than politicians.

3) Donald Trump Will Stop Responding to Criticism

Donald does not operate under  ‘attack each other to a draw’ politics of the last 20 years. He will respond like a Media star.

Obama tried to ignore the unfair ‘Birther’ attacks during his presidency. Donald Trump responded forcefully to the unfair ‘Illegitimate President’ personal attack no matter how respected the speaker is.

He will respond forcefully no matter how important the Country criticizing him.

4) The Republican Party is in Charge

Donald Trump is not stuck on an ideology. He is a Moderate. While rare in DC these days, still very common among non-politicians. He will take allies where he can get them on each issue. While the Republican Party is weak, per Chuck Todd “The Democratic Party is in Disarray, and is Irrelevant.”

5) Donald Trump is a Negotiator

Master negotiators have an agenda, do not reveal everything up front, and read the opposition before reacting. He is use to people playing hardball with him. Has progressed through life he has accumulated power, and negotiated at different levels of power. Not much will throw him.

Expect outrageous opening positions in public. But people & governments who want to work with the US will find a reliable partner. Government who try to overpower the USA will be rebuffed. Deals are made where both sides can Save Face.

Government negotiations will change from the weak tactics used by the last administration. President Trump has the advantage President Bush 43 had has ‘The Cowboy’. No one is certain what he would do.

6) President Donald Trump Does Not Owe the Establishment

The people who elected the President are the Unprotected. Average working people who pay taxes who use to be The Silent Majority. These citizen are his clients.

Not even sure he will want a second term, unless his supporters request him.

President Trump’s first term is not about being reelected. It will be Getting Changes Done. Expect things will be different in DC.
