Bannon: GOP Needs ‘Big, Actionable Ideas
brietbart ^

Posted on 11/08/2017 2:27:44 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Bannon said the lesson from Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie’s defeat on Tuesday night is that “if you’re going to win, you’ve got to embrace the entire Trump agenda, and you’ve got to do it early, and you’ve got to be dedicated to it.”

“You can’t phone it in,” he said. “You’ve got to do rallies. You’ve got to get the president out with you. You’ve got to go all-in on this. I just think campaigning with people like President Bush and Marco Rubio during these type of economic times sends the wrong signal. I think Gillespie’s campaign had ample opportunity to get Corey Stewart, get other people involved.”

“Things were done on the margin,” he said. “People worked very hard, I know the Lt. Governor, I thought Jill Vogel did a great job, but it didn’t get pulled off. I think the lessons are if people want to continue to drive this agenda, and continue to win, we’ve got to get very focused on executing the Trump agenda and then making sure we can sell it.”

“We did lose Virginia by five points during the campaign,” he recalled. “I actually thought Virginia was going to be too tough a reach. I didn’t want to spend a lot of time there, even though that’s my native state. But I was actually surprised by the five-point loss. I thought we would lose Virginia by two or three.”

“We lost it by more because of the heavy, heavy turnout in the northern Virginia suburbs, which really are a part of Washington, DC,” he explained. “When you look at Virginia today, really northern Virginia is a suburb of Washington. It has virtually all federal employees, or consultants, or media types, or companies tied to the federal governm

I beg to differ...

All the ideas that mattered were put on that piece of paper called the Constitution.

The Republicans need the guts to adhere to the letter as well as the spirit of that document.

Dismantle all the so-called “Great Society” programs and bureaucracies.

Here’s a big actionable idea:

Free market capitalism.

I look forward to the flood of repeals.

It is time for the RINOs to better understand the economic concept of elasticity and how they are on the wrong side of things, and how Bannon and Trump understood elasticity and rode it to D.C.

Basically, if the price of gasoline rises 10% to $3/gallon, Exxon-Mobile may see people buy 5% fewer gallons of gas but the company will see revenues GROW.

This dynamic, is currently AT PLAY with Republicans. In short, if you adopt a Trumpian populist/pro-America/non-globalist approach to governance (e.g., a price increase), you may lose RINOs, #NeverTrumpers and other losers, but your gains from Deplorables and taken-for-granted Democrats will enable you to WIN ELECTIONS.

More importantly, adopting this approach will help move the nation closer to what the Founders intended where people from all walks of life, live free and can fulfill their Manifest Destiny...

In turn, if you adopt a #NeverTrump/globalist/interventionist approach, sure you'll retain RINOs and other losers but you'll lose the dominant Deplorable class and taken-for-granted Democrats will go back 'home,' and you'll see Republicans have a perpetual re-enactment of this scene from Life of Brian:

OK!

You mean “Big, Actionable Ideas” like these:

“Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell Launch ‘Bold and Aggressive’ 200-Day Plan to Implement Trump Agenda”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Paul Ryan, “We put together a 200-day plan for the President to get the agenda that we all have agreed on through the system.”

Amnesty Ed is campaigning with Amnesty Rubio and Amnesty Bush in an anti-amnesty climate.
He couldn’t embrace the Trump agenda of restoring the rule of law and removing illegal aliens because he still believes we have to surrender the country, just like all the Bush Republicans.

That would mean abolishing about 80% of the federal government.

It would mean an end to 0bamacare, TANF, SNAP, WIC, SSI, the EITC, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

Are we too addicted to our communism to do what must be done?

Kick out the illegals and stop new ones from coming in.

How’s that for a big, actionable idea—that Trump already ran and won on?

March 8, 2017 Speaker Paul Ryan told Tucker Carlson that Congress had a 200 day plan to guarantee the president’s agenda would be passed.

Paul Ryan, “Let me just give you a sense of what we’re planning in the first 200 days.”

- Repealing and replacing Obamacare, the biggest reform in a generation.
- Overhauling the IRS Tax code.
- Rebuilding the military.
- Doing infrastructure.
- Repealing harmful regulations.
- Repealing Dodd-Frank and the Choice Act which would replace it.
- Funding the wall.

OK!!

The GOP Paul Ryan has Big, Actionable, Bold, Plans!

Go Paul Go... Get ‘er Done!

What?

Absolute repeal of obamacare isn't a big enough, actionable idea ?

They don't want ideas, they want someone to come up with an "actionable idea" that will bail them out of their self imposed label of "commie" !
