I was thinking of the way Congresscritters were kept appraised of what was going on in the Clinton trial ~ private individuals at their own expense DELIVERED detailed information to every Congressman.
Sure, most of the New York crowd skipped over it, and the majority of the California Democrats can't even read English, but it worked with the House in general.
Next campaign we need to be prepared to blanket all Republican campaigns for every open office ~ even state offices ~ of a quick guide to SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE BEHAVIOR.
3X5 X24 pages probably ought to do it. Rule 1 ~ never go one on one with a leftwing msm agent. Rule 2 ~ never acknowledge a question from a leftwing msm agent. Rule 3 ~ put up a sign at every campaign stop where YOU are renting the hall/site that NO CAMERAS OR RECORDINGS ALLOWED WITHOUT THE EXPLICIT PERMISSION OF THE CANDIDATE ~ HE"S PAID THE RENT NOT YOU.
We could probably come up with 100 basic rules in a good half hour just thinking of things we know that worked.
A lot has to do with how much attention the media gives a “flawed” candidate. Obviously the senate is the one the RINOs and democrats wanted to keep in “moderate” hands but a lot of wild accusations and threats were thrown and tea party house candidates.
Here in Michigan Kerry Bentivolio (Who won the Thad McCotter seat) was accused of conspiring with the McCotter staffers. On election day it was reported by liberal radio that charges would be announced against Bentivolio. When charges were announced in the case the AG specifically said that despite rumors Kerry Bentivolio was in no way part of the case. They also accused him of abusing students when he was a high school teacher.
