    What Issues Will the GOP Run on in 2020?

    Very Online People are acting as if Republicans will dominate in 2022. What exactly will they be campaigning on?

    Looking at their current pet issues, I dont see a path to victory in 2020:
    Voting against $2000 checks?
    Voting against $1600 checks?
    Neanderthal Grievances?
    Loyalty to Trump?
    Forcing Mr. Potato Head to ship with a jockstrap?

    Likely the same as usual. Promises to lower taxes. The promise is empty, but they usually roll with it.

    Transgender bathroom and women's sport issues. Those will be their biggest talking point.

    Well, if they get that time travel technology...who knows what they can accomplish?

    In seriousness though...The issues really aren't that important. Republican voters vote Republican. Full stop. Everything else they make up for with Gerrymandering and Voter Suppression

    They will run on what they always do - lies, lies, and more lies. They will blame the democrats for everything the GOP does wrong, and will vilify the Democrats for everything they do right. And the willfully ignorant will lap it up like the cowed and hopeless dogs they are.

    Apologies. No idea how to fix.

    But I do enjoy the meta commentary that the GOP agenda never changes.

    No, they have their Supreme Court. They will be silent about it, unless calling their opponents murderers, because it’s simply a mater of time when someone takes up to Supreme Court.

    They won't need a platform. Much like Democrats capitalized on "we're not Republicans" and people voting against Trump rather than for Biden, Reps will snatch an easy win after the Dems running things into the ground for four years.

    So, you believe Republicans will have an easy win because the Democrats will copy what the Republicans are doing?

    Republicans won state legislatures, in states that Trump lost the national vote. Trump is hated by, at very least, the vast majority of the voting and polling public. Biden has brought all that down to usual levels... meaning... Biden doesn’t provide as much material to dislike him, as Trump did.

    You can’t blame Biden for Dr Sues or Mandalorian, to expect the same reaction as being caught lying about a pandemic, you literally just disarmed the country from reacting to...

    It’s like the latest, as democrats are passing a stimulus... people are filing taxes and are realizing that part of Trump’s tax cut for the rich, was removing deductions for working from home expanses. Crying about celebrities being banned off Twitter is all GOP can run on at this moment...

    There are plenty of grievances with Dems policies already bubbling up but they're not to be discussed in "polite company".

    If Dems keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over does it really matter what they run on?

    Yes, eating babies and computers from blind repairman, doesn’t work... Trump can’t even say the word dominion anymore, or he will get sued. How many times did he say it during CPAC’s crying about elections... 0...

    Matt Gaetz's staff proves my point. Their web team did this thumbnail for a thumbnail for one of his videos.






    Repeat, this is from a GOP congressman's staff.
