RNC Has Few Operatives On The Ground In Swing States, Local GOP Leaders Say
The Federalists ^ | 5/14/24 | BY: BRIANNA LYMAN

Posted on 05/15/2024 3:14:43 AM PDT by CFW

The Republican National Committee (RNC) appears to have little to no on-the-ground operations in key battleground states despite former President Donald Trump narrowly leading President Joe Biden, local GOP and conservative group leaders tell The Federalist. They expressed optimism, however, that the RNC will step up its efforts and suggested it’s “typical” for the RNC not to have its ground game going until about now.

Grassroots organizations are targeting key states such as Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Texas to improve “election processes at the administrative level well before Election Day,” director Josh Findlay of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Elections Protection Project told The Federalist.

Findlay touted the groups’ “huge successes” throughout battleground states with regard to drop box security, absentee ballot procedures, observer access and absentee processing centers. But despite all the work being done on the ground to elect Republicans, the RNC doesn’t seem too involved – though grassroots leaders are hopeful that won’t be the case for long.

Okay Lara, let’s see some positive moves from the RNC.

You were Sooooo enthusiastic...let’s see some of that.

Personally, I think she’s a “all talk and no action” type of person.

The new leadership is making important changes, but the old guard has put them behind the 8-ball on actually achieving success.

I suspect there is a large degree of buck passing here, along with penny-wise and pound foolish actions. I.e. not hiring people till now saves on payroll, but also means that the best people are hired elsewhere, and training takes time.

The GOP should be run as a large franchise. This means your local outreach should be done by the local (county?) chairs. The national organization is for coordinating the national strategies, which unfortunately also includes doing something about the indolent local organizations.

For how long the RNC has been run so badly, it's going to take a while to turn it around. What's probably also needed is to replace the three head honchos of every state. That and get a web developer. https://gop.com/about-our-party/rnc-members/

If the above page will load for you, you'll see a bunch of entrenched GOP people who have probably been there way too long.

I’d say it’s relevant, but not impactful since the DOJ will not investigate/prosecute Democrat fundraising crime.

Trump will never be able to keep up with those who launder US Federal Aid to another country, into campaign “contributions”. However, 2016 showed that a money advantage is not necessarily enough to win. Clinton had a very large $ advantage.

Really, it’s all about ballot harvesting and ballot fraud. That’s where we will win or lose.

and in particular he better have his own ballot harvesting operation in place if we’re to avoid a repeat of 2020.

This.

I have often said that the Rs would rather serve in H3ll than rule in Heaven.

Most Rs don’t have the bahls to take advantage of their probable majority that is soon to come, so they do as little as they can to promote their party. They fear another Trump presidency because they will have to step forward and legislate the conservative agenda. Of course if they intentionally tank things, they won’t have to worry about being the majority party very long.

Don’t disagree that we need to beat them at the game, just concerned that’s the game.

Imagine if we filled out tax returns with same day deductions, automatic deductions, no documentation deductions, you know every deduction deserves the right to be used on a tax return! But no! The IRS wants restrictive deductions which threatened access to all deductions and they use partisan and discriminatory deduction challenges. Many IRS deduction challenges are susceptible to abuse. This leads to even lawful deductions vulnerable to frivolous or discriminatory challenges. The challenged deduction may have to have document proof to establish the qualifications before filing a return. The IRS can even exploit these unequal evidentiary burdens to intimidate tax payers into paying too much tax!

Biden is flush with small donor money.

At least the RNC has “boots on the ground” at golf courses and cocktail parties. That can make a big difference in November. /s

- The ‘Pinto’ that is the (R)N(C), know/will-ingly taking a dive and CONTINUE to stab the People in the back.

FR: “It’s going to take some time to re-build the brand.”

JFC *facepalm*. Proving, yet again, the *choo choo* ‘Stupid Party’ base is a cult.

Here’s a clue, Patriots. The GOPeahens do NOT want us to win. Either they are content with the JihadJunta and their Useful Idiocy Enablers continuing their thugocracy, they are on the take, or they are being blackmailed into compliance, those spineless smirkers are NOT on our side.

We have to win this Civil War ourselves. That is reality, and the Junta will use everything in their power to beat us senseless.

The ones from Virginia are all from Northern Virginia, which is where the deep state swamp runs deep.

I want to see the link where it says Biden is flush with small money donors. I, quite frankly, do not believe that.

Link please.

The devil’s advocate in me says this is a good thing.

All the RNC ever does is sabotage conservatives in favor of Romney types. Through their absence the RNC can’t help the democrats right now.

So what is the problem?

I don't get the sense anybody "out here"/(ourselves) want to be involved though. "Somebody else" should do the hard work.

This is on the new RNC leadership at this point.

They’ve been in office for what - 2-3 months?

No excuses - get it done.

Maybe if the RNC would send fewer than 10 texts and 20 emails a day; and quit having phone bank people start arguments with you if you refuse to give them any more money; that would be a start!

If they called and asked me to volunteer, I would.

But it is a closed loop club. And the GOPe still holds the keys to the clubhouse doors.

I agree with you. Much passive aggressiveness out here. But a lot of that is people just trying to get my in this Junta ruled nation.
