The reasons are many and as conservatives we should do something about them, now before it is too late. Clearly, doing the same old tired things over and over and expecting different results is \u2013 plain stupid.<\/p>\n<p>2018, 2020, 2022 were disasters for the Republicans. We barely took back the House and Trump lost. We blew two runoff elections in Georgia, put up poor candidates in key races, especially for the Senate, and continued to do the same old things. Learning nothing and changing nothing, we will face another round of similar outcomes. On the topic of voting, mail-in, harvesting and mechanics, we are blatantly, last century.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP has become a laughingstock as the RNC put back a nepotistic chair-leader who accomplished nothing and a system that has not learned a single thing. Indeed, as the book titled, <em>Rigged<\/em> demonstrates in grainy detail, the entire election process and mechanism are slanted against us. The mainstream media is also actively against us. Yet we do next to nothing, idly hoping for a better outcome. Why?<\/p>\n<p>If we want to continue losing, then indeed, we should do nothing or perhaps double down since the formula has witnessed such underwhelming success.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if Republicans actually seek victory and want to regain political power, they will immediately do these <em>seven <\/em>things. Doing all of them could shape a better result but if they are not fully financed and finely executed, fatality is guaranteed. Either we adapt and play by and shape the new rules, or we remain out of power. We have to embrace technology. It is that simple.<\/p>\n<h2>Seven Things Republicans Must Do to Win<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Ballots<\/strong>: Voting is no longer in-person on a single day. We must adapt and like our opponents work early and mail-in balloting, even harvest ballots where it is legally possible. Half or more people voted nowadays before the election, and we need to face reality and all it implies for campaigns and the act of voting. Why should Republicans start out on the second Tuesday in November 50 percent down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Candidates<\/strong>: You can\u2019t run witches, loons, quacks, carper-baggers and unknowns and expect to win. We need a better pool of winning candidates who are well vetted, financed, and solid. We don\u2019t at present have that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legal Oversight<\/strong>: The Democrats play hard ball. With pit bulls, like Marc Elias they challenge everything and work well before and well after election day to fix the playing field and tilt it toward the Democrats. We need to fight back have an equally adept legal team and go to the mat otherwise they own us.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social Media + AI<\/strong>: Using to the full extent the sources and access of social media has arguably become the single most important item in politics. Republicans are way behind the eight ball, don\u2019t understand the medium, have no companies working with them or an incubator of startup- firms in their orbit. The Democrats do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financing<\/strong>: Presidential candidates raised and spent $4.1 billion in the 24 months of the 2019-2020 election cycle, according to campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission that cover activity. The entire election cycle cost just short of $15 billion dollars. Under the presidential public funding program, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-to-lose-the-2024-election\/\" title=\"2024 Election: Tips for Losing\">eligible presidential candidates receive federal government funds<\/a> to pay for the qualified expenses of their political campaigns in both the primary and general elections. Donations are the fuel of any political campaign and without money a candidacy fails. So, what are Republicans doing on individual giving with both small and large donors? How are they deploying super pacs to the best purposes? There is little coordination and a lack of vision and focus on the Right side of the spectrum. This must be fixed. We need to stop fighting each other and realize how the Left activates and finances itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Op Research<\/strong>: Using dirt to defeat an opponent was not invented by Tricky Dickie Nixon or by Nicholas Machiavelli in 15<sup>th<\/sup> century Italy. It is as old as time and more sophisticated than ever now. The Clinton\u2019s were famous for it and Republicans generally are late to the practice. We need to do the research, use all the tools, and expose the opposition candidates for what in most cases they are\u2014warts and all. As results show, unfortunately negative campaigning works.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unity<\/strong>: In the end only a unified, loyal, and forceful political party wins. Fragmented parties, ideological rifts and personality hostilities have kept Republicans from crossing the winning line. The 11<sup>th<\/sup> Commandment, spoken by Ronald Reagan, still rings true. If you want a significant sweeping victory from top to bottom of the ticket, if you want to win the House, the Senate and the White House, you need to work in unison and row together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Ted Roosevelt Malloch is CEO of Roosevelt Global Fiduciary LLC.
