A New Game Plan?


For John, BLUFSome think the Grand Old Party is on the wrong path and needs to change up its gme plan.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Blaze, by Editor Chris Enloe, 9 November 2022.

Here is the lede plus two:

Conservative writer Marc Thiessen implored the Republican Party to engage in deep introspection after failing to deliver the promised "red wave."

In a political environment unfavorable to Democrats, how could Republicans not decisively win nationwide, especially when they are generally on the favorable side of important issues like the economy and crime?

The result, according to Thiessen, is a "searing indictment" of the Republican Party.

Could it be that the Republicans need to move more toward the Center?  For wxample, would Republican Primary candidte Chris Doughty have done better against Democratic nominee Maura Healey than did Candidate Geoff Diehl?

In asking this question, one must also ask where the backers of a Geoff Diehl would go.  If those people stalked off and formed their own party the GOP would not benefit  Would the GOP be able to pick up enough from Democrats and Independents to outweigh that loss?  I hope there are GOP number crunchers working that problem.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
