Florida Panhandle — Hello to all of you conservative armchair quarterbacks who have been sitting around feeling thoroughly depressed. All of you political animals bumping around in the dark. All of you wonderful analysts who can tell us today what went wrong with the GOP on election night. All of those consultants who don’t have a clue how to run a successful campaign. All of those donors who gave money—too little, too late.
If I were your boss, I would say you’re fired. You all had only ONE JOB, and you totally BLEW IT!
It was the simplest job anyone could ever have, but NO—you thought you knew better! After all, you are richer and smarter. I bet you still can’t tell me what your job was! All you had to do was listen to the people. The people repeatedly told you over and over:
1. End the war
2. Focus on the cost of living and inflation
3. Put America First
4. Lower gas prices
Your consultants didn’t read the room. You are dealing with a crowd that demands instant gratification and takes everything literally. Instead of saying “I will reduce prices on day one,” Trump should have said “I will put policies in place to reduce prices on day one.” But he didn’t, and the crowd screamed that he is a liar.
With all of Trump’s marketing skills, he never delivered a concrete and positive message that put people at ease. He never laid out a game plan with a roadmap of the future and what that future would look like for the USA under the policies he put in place.
What were those rallies about? To me, they were a waste of time—a totally wasted, missed opportunity to explain that this war was not the beginning of a new war, but the end of a 50-year conflict. He could have used the media to scroll through videos of terrorist attacks and the soldiers who were killed as a result. Even a few “Death to America” chants would have helped. But there was nothing. Zippo.
Trump could have put up a chart showing that, though gas prices are high, they are still relatively low compared with many periods from President Bush 41 through today. Gas prices are high largely because of Democratic policies, such as not building enough refineries. I personally would have played Obama’s tape saying, “Your energy prices will necessarily skyrocket. Coal companies will go bankrupt.” No one bothered to explain.
Trump or Secretary of the Treasury Bessent could have explained that inflation is not simply “transitory.” Price increases are cumulative. Each month’s rise is added to the previous month’s. Printing money the way the Biden administration did, giving subsidies to companies that didn’t need them, or bailing out banks in ways that locked in more bad policies all added to inflation. Only when the factors keeping prices high are changed will prices eventually come down. But no one explained that.
Trump could have explained that housing prices are high because fewer houses are being built. That is largely due to regulations, escalating costs from unnecessary green programs, and permits that take too long to obtain. But no one explained.
Trump could have explained that he was not starting a war. He was ending one. Iran has been attacking America and its allies for the last 48–50 years. Thousands of Americans have died, property has been destroyed, and trade—especially oil, the lifeblood of energy for many countries—has been disrupted. Iran’s constant threats of “Death to America” and “We will nuke you” finally pushed the right button. Trump, who has long said the war must end, was the president who finally acted. He fulfilled his mandate: keep the American people safe. Who bothered explaining that?
Republicans objectively had a strong argument that the economy in 2026 is better in several respects than it was the last time Democrats were fully in charge. Inflation has come down from its peaks, GDP numbers have been solid, wages have been rising in nominal terms, and the job market has remained relatively strong. Did they message that? Did they tell anyone?
The Republicans didn’t tell anyone much of anything, except that socialism is bad. They didn’t listen to Americans. Instead, they battled Trump and MAGA. They purged MAGA and MAHA supporters from local Republican party meetings, forgetting that these were the people who did the door-knocking, phone banking, and voter registration.
The GOP had a multimillion-dollar war chest, but its incompetent consultants told them the campaign starts in September. With constituents who demand instant gratification, how stupid are these consultants? The campaign starts the day after the last election. The GOP did not financially help candidates until it was too little, too late.
The GOP butted into the primaries. Instead of listening to Americans pick their candidates, the GOP and Trump chose them. When constituents picked a candidate the GOP didn’t like—meaning one they could not control—the party showed its disdain and, in some cases, even campaigned against them. The Bush-aligned figures did this to Paxton. Their ego became more important than the country.
Tuesday night made it undeniably and unequivocally clear that most Americans are dissatisfied with do-nothing, elitist legislators. So to all of the Americans who didn’t vote in the primaries and then stayed home or voted for the Democratic Socialists: WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?
It will be exceedingly tough to win back control and reverse the damage done by the current elitist GOP, but it is not impossible. It will require a lot of work, but there are some great people who could make that happen. I really believe that the actions and policies of the DNC will eventually turn people off.
As today’s guest Ed Vidal said, “Most people have no idea what socialism is. This vote was a vote against do-nothing politicians, not conservative policies. Once the people learn this, they will reject socialism.”
But what can we do to win back patriotic control in 2028? Start by focusing on two areas.First, we need strong leadership. We do not need to be entertained; we need the truth. We have to share information and demand that our elected officials do the same. Follow your state and local legislators. Oversight is key. Go to meetings and monitor how your taxpayer money is being spent.
The next big area is education. That is where the indoctrination begins—the woke ideology, DEI, ESG, hate, ignorance, illiteracy, and gender ideology. Get your kids out of the public indoctrination centers that are masquerading as public schools. Go to school board meetings. Do not allow ideological agendas to take precedence over core education and your family’s values—unless you want Florida to become more like New York.
There are some small victories. We have to grit our teeth and persevere. One example of positive change in Florida is CAIR closing its offices. Do you want your children forced to absorb certain ideological values? Chew on that for a while. Get involved!
Our friend in the Florida Panhandle, Sally Baptiste, has put together a to-do list for us:
• Replace RNC leadership with patriotic candidates. Start now and prepare for primaries.
• Improve messaging.
• Create a new platform.
• Restore ethics and integrity to public service: no insider trading, no lobbyists, full disclosure from PACs (stop campaign money laundering).
• Improve candidate vetting.
• Educate voters—many have been shaped by public education.
• Stop saying “socialists.” They are communists.
• Follow the Constitution. Support open primaries.
• Stop the real insurrection—remove communists from office.
• Contact media and demand honest reporting.
• Call RAV’s Eric Bolling at 1-888-601-0032 and share your thoughts.
• Be prepared.
• Subscribe to sources such as tousi.tv for coverage of the Middle East, Real America’s Voice, and Glenn Beck radio or TV.
• Educate yourself. For important insight, subscribe to Karen Bracken’s Substack, Ed Vidal at the Miami Independent (miamiindependent.com), and join Sally Baptiste’s roundtable to share ideas.
You don’t have to do everything. But doing nothing is what got us into this big, hot mess. Is America worth saving? It is up to you.
