Republicans focus on campaigns; Democrats focus on elections. While that difference may seem minor, even semantic, it’s one of the great differences in American politics — and largely explains what we are living through now living through.
If you prioritize campaigns, you want a candidate who draws great crowds, gets people excited, and has an attractive policy platform. But if you prioritize elections, then you want to build a machine that wins the elections — the candidate is secondary at best.
And that’s what Democrats have been doing methodically: While Joe Biden was hiding in his basement, they were building a machine to win no matter what, able to adapt to this year’s massive surge in voting by mail.
And now, we are seeing their plan come to fruition. Based on current, uncertified vote totals, every major media company (including Fox) is projecting that Biden will be the President of the United States in January.
However, the media doesn’t decide elections. Votes are still being counted. According to the Associated Press, four states (Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are within 1 percent – Nevada only has 88 percent of votes counted. No recounts have started, and challenges (which will ultimately play out) are being ignored.
The Democrats and the media are going to say that, even though all the votes haven’t been counted, President Trump owes it to the country to cave, accept defeat, and walk off. Some will also say that we don’t need to do any recounts.
There are a large number of what I call accommodationist Republicans who always believe it’s their job to side with the Democrats and the news media when things get too tough, when the elites really put the pressure on them. Because after all, their main goal is to be liked and go to nice cocktail parties, not to do right by the country.
These accommodationist Republicans will say they don’t like the president talking about fraud, vote theft, or corruption. They don’t want to look at the data and the growing evidence that something is clearly amiss in places like Detroit, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.
On this week’s episode of my podcast, “Newt’s World,” I discuss why we need to be pushing for further investigation and not give up simply because the elites tell us to be quiet.
Don’t be fooled: This is not over.
We at Gingrich 360 have been getting an amazing number of emails from different people telling us about specific instances of people who were intimidated, people who were told they couldn’t be poll watchers, and people who saw fraud. That is why I am urging all of you, the American people, to report instances of voter fraud to the website https://www.gingrich360.com/honestelections/.
