While I am opposed to the Republican
Party and most of what it stands for there is no question in my mind that the
party has perfected the art of winning elections. Over the past six years
Republicans have won elections to the point where, according to Vox;
“And
the vast majority — 70 percent of state legislatures, more than 60 percent of
governors, 55 percent of attorneys general and secretaries of state — are in
Republicans hands. And, of course, Republicans control both chambers of
Congress…
If Donald Trump
wins the presidential elections in November the Republican Party will control
the senate, house, executive branch and possibly the Supreme Court. In other
words they will control EVERY THING!
They are also
winning in most states the same way they may be controlling the US Kansas Kansas
So how do the Republicans
keep winning elections? It is more than just producing popular candidates. They
seem to have perfected the art of organizing their people and using every
program and trick to maximize their election efforts. They leave nothing to
chance. Most important they have been winning close elections where their
organizing techniques made up for a lack of popular support for some
candidates.
Now we have an opportunity
to peak in and see what some of these techniques are. I received an e-mail from
a pro-Republican outfit called American Majority. They are co-hosting some
webinar series explaining how a candidate can use their many organizing
techniques to win elections. While they expected these webinar series to go to
conservative prospective candidates and political activists, they sent their
messages to me. Now we on the left can now share some of these secrets.
I strongly suggest
anyone interested in running for office or working on someone else's campaign to
sign up for these webinars. This is information all of us on the left need. The
first thing to do is to sign up and register by clicking

Then visit the
scheduling page (click

Then the actual
scheduling for these webinar's will be given here to those wishing to
participate.
For a look at that
