There is one fundamental question that any candidate vying for the Republican nomination for president of the United States in 2024 must answer — but that as of yet has gone largely unaddressed, at least publicly, as the field spars over significant but ultimately subordinate issues.
The question is this: How will you win the general election under the present voting system? An inability to answer this question clearly, compellingly, and convincingly imperils Republican odds of retaking the White House, no matter how favorable their prospects might look come next November. It is incumbent on anyone who wants to earn the Republican presidential nomination to answer this question at the outset,

Agreed, this is the most crucial question. I still believe that 2016 was likely our last real election. 2020 was stolen and since illegitimately seizing power the democrats have been working openly and behind the scenes to permanently rig all future elections, so we may be beyond the point where a Republican can win - ever. If there is a chance left, 2024 is the last one. Unfortunately what it may take to win are things that cannot be discussed publicly.

Reality is that there is NO satisfactory answer. Believe in the goodness of Democrats’ hearts and trust the honesty of their judges. Very depressing.

None of them can win so none should get the nomination. Riiiiiggghhhtttt!
Want to know how to win? First, differentiate yourself from the Democrat. Second, work your butt off. Make sure you are all over the TV. Make the race so lopsided that no amount of voter fraud can offset it.

We won't know what the deep state and demosluts plan for creating phony votes will be until after election day. Then we'll get the videos of all the fraud and those with a guilty conscience coming forward.

The author tap dances all around voter fraud but never once reveals that as the issue. Why are we so afraid to call this what it is? It is cheating plain and simple. Another question I have is why does anyone have to pressure these legislatures especially in states where Republicans are in the majority to put measures in place to stop ballot harvesting and never ending voting days? Wouldn’t you think that Republicans would make it a high priority? They have seen what has happened. They know where the problems are. Why not just fix it? This infuriates me with Republicans. Democrats are always thinking up ways of gaming the system and Republicans are completely apathetic about fixing what we all see are problems? They seem to be asleep at the wheel. Do they want to lose?
I am sick of sitting out here in flyover country watching these feckless fools stand by and let this evil cabal eat their lunch. After 2020 and 2022, Republicans should have made voter fraud the most important issue. The party is only as good as its determination to at least level the playing field when it comes to election security. Personally, I hate the idea of ballot harvesting. Voter fraud is practically built into the process as is the ability to cheat with the machines that have been shown to be connected to the internet where all kinds of mischief can be done by programming “glitches”. Add to that when democrats just stop counting Willy nilly anytime they need to add votes to their tallies. I am sick of it all, but most of all I am thoroughly disgusted by the lackadaisical attitude of elected Republicans. It’s one thing to fight for every vote and come up short. It’s quite another to have the needed votes and allow democrats to employ every method to steal what they cannot win and then sit back and let them. Now I fear the system is so corrupted that it cannot be fixed and that we are no better than any communist country whose election results are known before a single ballot is cast.

Thank you Weingarten for writing this!! I've been screaming this for 3 years. How do you stop a steal? How do you stop it before it happens, and how do you arrest it in real time??
The polls are irrelevant. Who is "electible" is irrelevant. Tell us DeSantis: how will you stop a steal??? Bc I have no idea and I am not sure it is possible.

For once, the number one threat to our elections has been addressed. Donald Trump won in 2020. He needs to win in 2024 so overwhelmingly that the cheating machine grinds its gears into metallic powder and comes to a halt. We must not give away what the soldiers in the Revolutionary War died for.

Look everyone, I agree that the Republican nominee should have a clear understanding of what we are up against and should have plan to combat the steal. But in 2020 the American people came out in a strong way and voted for Trump. He received 12 million more votes than in 2016. 12 MILLION! That's never been done before and the record was shattered at 75 million votes. The Left found a way to beat him despite that record number. What else can we do? We are looking at another 4 years of Biden unless we end mail-in voting. That's the only plan that will work.

The question, as posed, is unanswerable. It's like asking: "How would you stop a bank robbery before it happens?" Being prepared isn't enough.
Until enough citizens get upset and get involved on the local level to change what is happening at their county Board of Elections we are doomed. We will end up like a glorified North Korea, Russia, Cuba or Iran where the nominated candidate from the controlling party always wins.

#7, I agree that Weingarten is very dodgy in his use of terms that characterize the integrity of the 2020 and 2022 elections. He manages to refer to the massive fraud inherent within our voting system as a "radically tranformed voting system".
Ben what stopped you short of calling our voting system for what it is - a total fraud? You are afraid of being cancelled?

The only path I see to any sort of honest election is to wipe out massive numbers of rinos in the state primaries: governors, senators, and reps. Then put real Conservatives in office with massive turnout in the general election to fix voting laws.
There's only one other problem. It may be too late for all that.

#2, 2016 was not a real election in the sense that Hillary cheated, but just didn’t cheat enough. The demonicrats made sure that wouldn’t happen again in 2020. But the cheating has been going on for a long time - I’m old enough to remember the 1960 election and how old Joe Kennedy bought enough votes to get JFK over the line. And I have no doubt that 0bama cheated his way back in in 2012 - his economy was in the toilet, most people vote their wallets and yet he “won”.

WE must have faith in President Trump...he has some ideas...but won't share them with the fake news...so they can run to obama and twist the results...obama's criminal deeds are starting to surface...and his running the White House for an illegal third term is starting to surface...

I copied this here - wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections
The first % column is Voting Age Population. The second is Voting Eligible Population..
Yeah, it's wiki. So shoot me.
2016 - Trump and Clinton each got ~ 63 mil for 126m total and another 10 mil for 'other' it seems.
2020 - Trump got 75 mil...and Biden got +18 mil over Clinton?? The 2020 election 'result' was a statistical aberration with a probability of near zero. I wouldn't surprised that Biden didn't really get more than 70 mil...and that's still 7 mil more than Clinton. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if his 'real' vote count was closer to Clinton numbers. But that's a lot fraud you say. Yep. Maybe most, or close to all, of the vote differential between Clinton and Biden could be bogus - junk mail-in ballots, ballots run multiple times while oversight was blocked, internet shenanigans, ballot harvesting, fraudulent ballots, etc. The Post Office just issue a final report 2 days ago that confirmed/vindicated the driver alleging he hauled up to 288,000 COMPLETED ballots from NY to PA. And that was one driver. The allegations involve multiple drivers - https://billingsreport.com/__trashed-74/
Enough with my rant. It was a freakin' Trump landslide.

Oops. More info. Column 1 is voting age pop, 2 is voting eligible, 3 is total turnout. Columns 4 and 5 are the % of each.

Saw the evil coming in ‘22 and registered to be a local poll watcher to learn the system.
Get your family, business and church friends involved to become local election volunteers [some districts even pay for the help].
Pray harder and work locally for one-day voting WITH picture/signature Voter ID.
Get rid of Soros-funded DA’s, and get local attorneys and staff for who has the keys to the precinct vote and tally bags and travel with them.
It’s going to take community involvement and people trained in security who are honest and love America!
