excerpts:
- To Chairman Reince Priebus
- I was delighted when you became RNC Chairman
- Your creation of the Growth and Opportunity Project chaired by Henry Barbour
- I was delighted when you appointed a distinguished team to lead the analysis for the Republican National Committee.
- After the 1992 defeat Chairman Haley Barbour was decisive in renewing enthusiasm, raising resources, and helping shape and implement strategy. Without Haley’s help we would not have had a Contract with America, would not have won the first House GOP majority in 40 years or re-elected it for the first time since 1928 in 1996.
- Those Republicans who assume bad events will beat the Democrats in 2016 underestimate the power of machines to survive bad performances.
- The Democrats have been building a national machine while the Republicans have been running campaigns
- Exit polling indicated that Obama won the argument over the economy and by a large margin the American people blamed former President George W. Bush rather than his successor for the economic mess.
Comment:
We'll see. There are getting together some people who have had success in the past. That's a good sign.
Frankly, I wonder how much the GOP actually wants to win. They'd rather look good in defeat than ugly in victory.
The major problem, as I see it, is that the GOP is its own worst enemy. If they can get that turned around, the rest could be relatively simple.
