RNC commissions 'review' of party tactics after disappointing midterm

[brooklynite]

The Republican National Committee is launching a review of the party’s performance in the midterm election and bringing on a team of outside advisers to help guide strategy, as the GOP reckons with its disappointing performance in the election.

The RNC is tapping nearly a dozen people to serve in what it’s calling a “Republican Party Advisory Council” – a group that includes former Donald Trump White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, evangelical leader Tony Perkins and a pair of Senate candidates who ran this year.

Separately, the committee is starting what senior Republicans are describing as a “review” of the party’s mechanics during the midterms, which is being led by RNC members. The RNC is expected to publish the findings sometime during the first half of 2023.

Republican officials say they are moving to address broader concerns confronting the GOP in the wake of the midterms, when the party underperformed expectations in a political environment many felt was to their advantage.

1. Keep talking about ending SS and Medicare

That'll be real popular

[live love laugh]

2. Review my ass. They just want to see how to cheat more.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. It's their strategy (policies & support of tRump) that's at fault, not "tactics". . . nt

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Problem's not strategy or tactics

It's the rotten core of ideology, and they can't fix that.

[BradAllison]

5. Not hateful and racist enough probably.

[hibbing]

20. Beat me to it

They will come to the conclusion they need to ramp up the hate and racism.

Peace

[Eyeball_Kid]

6. What is there to figure out?

Stop sticking your finger in the electrical socket, and you won't get shocked!

The RNC needs a commissioned study to understand that turning off the voters will cause you to lose elections???

They've got money to burn.

7. Look at the Group Doing the "reviewing"

"a group that includes former Donald Trump White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, evangelical leader Tony Perkins and a pair of Senate candidates who ran this year".

Can't wait for their conclusions!

[StormKing]

9. Exactly

They're doomed to fail.

[ZonkerHarris]

8. They have done this before and learned nothing from it.

[emulatorloo]

15. Yes, many many times. Their answer has always been "double down on the crazy."

[RobertDevereaux]

10. Don't review. DISBAND AND GO HOME.

[Marcuse]

11. Deja vu.

The Republican Party on Monday released a 100-page autopsy of how its 2012 presidential campaign was conducted. I've picked out the key sections you need to read from the analytic recommendations and critiques made by the party in this "Growth and Opportunity Project" report. The project report also has a long section of recommendations for GOP friends and allies -- read, PACs and Super PACS -- which I've not excerpted from below.

19. Yep, that's what popped in my head as well

And in the end, they didn't do anything to change. They just got worse.

[vlyons]

12. Review your "mechanics?" How about your morals?

You might want to review your agenda while you're at it.

[sdfernando]

13. What is this?

Their umpteenth election autopsy? All the previous ones came to the same conclusion but the racists & fascists don't want to do it. They cannot bring themselves to embrace the "other"

They are dying.....LET THEM DIE!

[republianmushroom]

14. You are several days late

and several dollars short.
Having to go to Texas for a Georgia senate candidate didn't help and your party tactic are crap.
high school stuff.

[Martin68]

16. They never read their own reviews. They never take their own advice. It's all for show.

[Mz Pip]

17. Tony Perkins

Yeah, that’s just what the GOP needs, more fundamentalist judgy religion. 🙄

[emulatorloo]

18. Let me guess! Double down on the 'culture war' crap, keep lying about Democrats.

Leave Trump-Apologist Ronna McDaniel as chair of the RNC. Give Kellyanne a high dollar job generating alternate facts.

[SWBTATTReg]

21. The slow march of demographics will doom them IMHO. Sure, they redid the maps in redistricting, but

I don't think that they can keep up w/ redistricting that quickly as the job markets, housing markets, etc. all turn on a dime. Also, as some of the posters have said, they pick terrible topics to hit on, that really offends most people (get rid of Social Security, come on now, then how are my parents, grandparents supposed to survive/live?).

Trends change so quickly in this Country. At least that's what I'm hoping. This process is almost as bad as taking polls now, as we're finding out. I suspect that people aren't paying attention to polls and/or deliberately fudging their answers or something. Why should they say anything (that is, I don't blame them). I know that this mentality is wrong, and we do want to have an accurate head count so we have proper representation, but when they use this information to throw it into our faces, etc., hmmm.

[LiberalFighter]

22. Smart move appointing them. Not!

[LiberalFighter]

23. Well! They need to get rid of the Nazis and religious nuts.

But then their party goes deeper in the hole.

[IronLionZion]

24. They can ponder it over some ivermectin and bleach

and keep warm this winter by burning their books

[EarthFirst]

25. I'm sure they have Mike Lindell on the case... nt

[chriscan64]

26. They started the meeting with a joke.

"Lets raise rich people's taxes! HA HA HA"

[yankee87]

27. Bring in the My Pillow guy

I heard the My Pillow guy is running to head the RNC. The clown car can't get any nuttier.

[truthisfreedom]

28. party of hate and obstruction tries to figure out what could possibly have gone wrong.

what could possibly go wrong?
