I do believe that the economy should and will be the #1 issue in 22 and 24.
I also believe election integrity must be hammered on as does most of the country.
Thirdly keep illustrating the extreme radicalism of the democrat party today and let them do the rest.
Republicans did very well in 2020 all things considered, they just need to build on that in 22.
Lastly and most importantly Republicans must learn to stop bringing a knife to a gunfight and understand they are not in a fair fight and they better act accordingly.
Hope this commentary is clear enough for those that struggle to click on a link and read...

I agree, but there is ALOT more then that for the Republicans to run on already. How about this for starters:

--- 2 million plus a year illegals putting pressure on the low income job market, housing, crime, medical and schools
--- With the economy reopening, Democrats are trying to buy votes by keeping extended unemployment far longer then is necessary
--- Democrats are continuing to borrow trillions ignoring the effect on inflation
--- the Democrats attempt to borrow trillions - Bernie suggests SIX TRILLION dollars - to finance an infrastructure package, most of which will not go to any actual infrastructure at all
--- Defund the police
--- "Bail reform" crime wave in places like New York
--- increasing crime across the board, much of it due to attacks on police
--- Critical Race Theory being taught against parents wishes
--- increasing Anti White and Asian racism
--- increasing anti-Semitism in the Democratic party
--- racist Karen meme - but only against white women
--- attempts to abolish zoning in suburbs

2022 and 2024 will be like 1968; elections about crime (random) and the economy.

In the meantime, deflecting and putting blinders on regarding what was said ain't gonna cut it...sorry. It's a good idea not to quote someone unless you are going to address what they said.

P.S. Hopefully your echo chamber can keep cheering you on so you actually can believe you've made some type of point (hint: you haven't).
The only dodging and deflecting has been coming from you. All of your posts have been responded to directly. Your mastery of the art of projection is impressive. When you have been presented with facts that defeat your argument ... accuse the other person of exactly what you are doing. Your very first post was nonsensical and when asked for clarification they just got worse but please keep going it is entertaining.

1968 was a backlash against the Civil Rights movement and the views of the hippies.

2016 was that election. It was a backlash against the LGBTQ rights movement and the progressive, "wokeness" of the Millennial generation. The difference between 1968 and 2016 is that George Wallace (Donald Trump) actually won.

We are now in uncharted territory headed towards a second civil war and this can't be compared to any previous election.

When you can show all the non-facts you claim I made, get back to me. In the meantime, I'm not going to waste my time listening to your "hey squirrel" routine. Again, this is what happens when you have to rely on links and can't particulate your own thoughts.

There will be no winning issues for Republicans or independents until the elections are secure with voter ID, paper trails, and 100 percent transparent auditing.

The GOP has nothing. They increased spending under trump like drunken sailors at port.
President Trump's Impact on the National Debt

Integrity? The GOP supports, trump, a man who incites violence and lies whenever his pie hole moves.

Violence? Violence increased under trump and most is from firearms. (gun control?)
2020 Ends as One of America's Most Violent Years in Decades

Gun violence and gun crime has, in particular, risen drastically, with over 19,000 people killed in shootings and firearm-related incidents in 2020. That’s the highest death toll in over 20 years, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA).

Most recent presidents have enjoyed a Congress majority of their party for a part of their term and then lose the so called advantage. There is so much division within both parties and vocal outliers, not sure it makes the difference as it once did.


Inflation
FRB continues to see it as a temporary situation.
Federal Government has no control over price at the pump and Keystone has zero to do with it.
Nonetheless, no shortage of people tend to prefer to blame a POTUS for everything.

Public School Indoctrination
Public schools are run by locally elected school boards. There are nearly 14,000 school districts in the US.

Border Crisis
Go for it.
Easy enough to whine about it. Very different thing to do something about it.
In 4 years, only 140 miles of new wall was built. Of that 100 miles replaced walls and barriers erected in the latter half of the 2000’s. Only 40 miles was incremental new wall.

Election Integrity
Reasonable people do not believe the Big Lie. This includes Trump’s AG.

Crime
Crime is a local matter.
There are 89,004 local governments in 3,006 counties in 50 states, plus DC.
Guess the Federal Government could block grant states to help fund new prisons for violent criminals in exchange for increased consequences.

At the end of the day, crime is a personal decision.

Weakness
Let’s start some new wars in the ME.

It’s a rare person residing in the US who is willing to pay substantially more for goods produced in the US and no country is interested in paying more for US exports when comparable products can be acquired elsewhere for less.

The US predominately exports aircraft, soybeans, cars/ trucks and microchips to China. The challenged created by Boeing was a windfall for other producers. Brazil was thrilled to sell soybeans to China when the US would not and paid growers for their losses. Like the US , China prefers autos/ trucks to be manufactured/ assembled in country.

Intel continues to be the world’s largest producer of microchips.

Biden won for one reason. He was not Trump.

The electorate of 2024 and beyond is going to be vastly different than 1968. Playing the greatest hits of 50 years ago and expecting the same results is a reach, although you won’t have a George Wallace splitting the conservative vote.

Haha Tell that to Jimmy Carter. Federal policy absolutely can effect the price at the pump, a difference of being energy independent vs dependent on foreign oil.

Ever heard of the NEA ? Teachers unions There is a reason Betsy Devos was so hated and feared.

Border Crisis
Go for it.

More nonsense. Come down to the border and surrounding towns and try to tell them that. Trumps policy's were having a very real effect.

Election Integrity

According to polling that would be a minority.

Yep and the right should continue to highlight the leadership in those high crime cities and counties.
