The GOP's 2024 Achilles Heel

Why Trump's Take Over of the RNC May Cost Republicans Big in 2024

When the news that the Trump family had turned the Republican National Committee into a Trump family business, I was ecstatic.

Why?

As my buddy @TheRickWilson would tell you, everything Trump touches dies, and I knew the RNC would be no different.



2/16
@RachelBitecofer
Despite dropping her real last name (Romney) and being willing to help Trump and his associates conspire to submit fake Electors as part of Trump’s broader plot to stay in power, Trump dumped then-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel and handed the keys to the entire Republican Party’s kingdom to Lara Trump, whose only qualification for the post is that she is part of the Trump family’s crime cabal.



3/16
@RachelBitecofer
Now, I need to explain exactly why I was so happy that day, and to do that, I need to go into some brief nerd background.

In my area of political science we spend a lot of time, I mean A LOT, measuring campaign activities to see if they affect voter turnout and vote choice. As campaigns first evolved into the TV era, and then into the digital age, these empirical studies have subjected all kinds of hypotheses about voter turnout and vote choice to empirical and experimental scrutiny.

I won’t bore you with that research history aside from to tell you that by far the things that affects turnout and vote choice (persuasion) the most is in-person GOTV (Get Out The Vote) field programs.



4/16
@RachelBitecofer
I knew that in 2020 when Democrats made the decision to suspend virtually all of its in-person field work due to the pandemic, which is why I immediately panicked.

Now, don’t get me wrong, suspending in person events in the midst of a global pandemic makes absolute sense, especially because the demographic most susceptible to death from COVID, the elderly, are also the vast majority of people that volunteer to knock on strangers’ doors to get them to vote.



5/16
@RachelBitecofer
However, since the Republican Party was no longer a political party, and now a cult, Republicans decided that since COVID was a hoax and not something that could ever happen to them.

Anti-science Republican governors reopened their states at the height of the pandemic and in the process killed and sickened many Republicans, who believed their lies and thus left themselves intentionally vulnerable to dying.



6/16
@RachelBitecofer
While Democrats transitioned to less effective, virtual field operations like texting and phone banking, Republicans kept running full steam ahead. They even resumed Trump’s rallies, each of which became super spreader events.

As soon as I realized we were going to unilaterally suspend our in-person field, I got a sick feeling in my gut because I suspected it would hurt Democratic Party performance, especially down ballot where interest in elections are much, much lower. Indeed, I flew right into the belly of the COVID beast, Texas, BEFORE there was a vaccine so I could make a personal appeal to Texas House and state legislative candidates to find a way to conduct in-person field.



7/16
@RachelBitecofer
As I watched 19 districts break for Biden but elect Trump cronies to the House as well as the underperformance Democrats suffered in state legislative races I learned a big lesson about the tremendous importance of in-person field and especially the powerful advantages that can fall to one party when the other party’s field game is absent or inept.

That brings us back to the present.



8/16
@RachelBitecofer
There is something you should know about the Republican National Committee. Until recently, it was the primary organizer for the entire Republican Party’s largely effective in-person field operation. Indeed, the RNC was so good at field that in the 2016 cycle they entirely handicapped the under-funded and chaotic mess that was the Trump campaign that cycle, essentially handicapping Trump from the ineptness of his own operation.



9/16
@RachelBitecofer
Now, some people would have looked at the RNC’s field operation and think, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” but that is not what happened once Lara Trump took over.

Still reeling from the mistakes Trump forced onto the RNC in 2020 with his lies about early voting and mail-in voting, Ronna McDaniel knew she had a big hill to climb to fix Trump’s damage. The results of the 2022 midterms proved that Trump’s election lies were having durable effects on Republican voters, who continued to shift away from early and absentee voting and towards Election Day only voting.



10/16
@RachelBitecofer
The reason the Republican Party invented absentee and early voting was because relying on a largely apathetic electorate to vote on one special day is bad strategy that produces sub-optimal outcomes.

It took a long time for Democrats to copy Republicans and begin to push early and absentee voting hard in states where they had legislative powers to make electoral reforms.

The Trump takeover of the RNC does seem to have undermined the GOP’s 2024 cycle in-person field operation.



11/16
@RachelBitecofer
As soon as the Republican National Committee became the Trump National Committee, Sheriff Lara, who again has 0 qualifications for her post other than slavish loyalty to her Orange Daddy, defunded two of the RNC’s key operations: early vote “harvesting” and minority outreach operations.



12/16
@RachelBitecofer
Instead of focusing on turning out the vote, the 2024 version of the RNC is mission focused on suppressing the vote, shifting both attention and resources to building infrastructure to contest the results off the 2024 cycle and building voter intimidation infrastructure, which they call their poll watchers program.



13/16
@RachelBitecofer
So, if the RNC has divested from in-person field organizing, who exactly is running the GOP’s field outreach this cycle?

The answer to that should fill you with glee because it is, apparently, Elon Musk’s superPAC and right wing grifter and Turning Point USA president Charlie Kirk.

Yes, Republicans have turned their once enviable organizing duties out to the private sector and to people with no experience with field organization, the most logistically complex elements of the modern campaign.



14/16
@RachelBitecofer
Meanwhile, over at the Democratic National Committee Chair Harrison has built and funded what will be, by far, the most extensive and comprehensive national field program in the party’s history.

Howard Dean dreamed about a 50 state vision for the DNC. Jaime Harrison actually built it. x.com



15/16
@RachelBitecofer
Its real. Its here. And its about to face off against an RNC that has been gutted and turned into a piggy bank for Donald Trump.

In trump's mind, that means the same thing. He expects everyone to do exactly what he wants immediately regardless of whether it is illegal or immoral. If they don't, they're doing a bad job and are fired.

Thats why so many of his people lose their licenses or end up in court.

@ZZischer
Here’s an analysis of the paper. So you don‘t have to read the whole thing:

The plan outlined focuses on lowering costs for middle-class families and building an opportunity economy through targeted strategies:

1. Lowering Costs for Middle-Class Families

• Cutting Taxes:
• Child Tax Credit: Expanding and restoring the Child Tax Credit, offering up to $3,600 per child, reducing child poverty, and benefiting over 100 million Americans.

• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): Expanding EITC to provide a tax cut of up to $1,500 for workers without children.

• Lowering Food and Grocery Costs:

• Food Supply Chains: Investing in resilient, diverse food production by supporting smaller farms, reducing reliance on conglomerates.

• Price Fixing: Strengthening enforcement against anti-competitive practices driving up grocery prices.

• Price Gouging: Federal legislation to ban price gouging on essential goods during crises.

• Lowering Health Care and Prescription Drug Costs:

• Affordable Care Act (ACA) Credits: Extending ACA tax credits permanently to reduce insurance premiums.

• Medicare Drug Price Negotiation: Accelerating provisions to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, cutting costs by 40% to 80%.

• Insulin Price Cap: Extending the $35 insulin price cap to all Americans.

• Lowering Energy Costs:
• Clean Energy Investments: Continuing investments in renewable energy and offering tax credits for solar, wind, and energy-efficient technologies.
• Home Energy Efficiency: Offering tax credits for energy-efficient home installations, saving households up to $5,000 annually.

• Consumer Protection:
• Banning Junk Fees: Eliminating excessive fees in industries like airlines and entertainment, saving consumers hundreds of dollars annually.
• Fighting Financial Fraud: Strengthening efforts to crack down on scams, particularly those targeting seniors.

2. Building an Opportunity Economy

• Housing and Homeownership:

• Affordable Homes: Partnering with the private sector to build 3 million affordable homes, expanding the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.

• Down-Payment Assistance: Providing first-time homebuyers up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance.

• Corporate Landlords: Legislation to prevent unfair practices by corporate landlords and limit their ability to inflate housing prices.

• Supporting Small Businesses:

• Startup Expense Deduction: Increasing the deduction for startup expenses from $5,000 to $50,000.

• Cutting Red Tape: Streamlining regulations for small businesses and simplifying tax filings.

• Local Innovation Fund: Launching a $40 billion fund to reduce regulatory burdens and promote innovative housing solutions.

• Investing in Workers and the Care Economy:

• Workforce Development: Creating pathways to middle-class jobs through training programs, apprenticeships, and partnerships with unions.

• Care Economy: Investing in childcare, elder care, and home care to meet demand, create jobs, and make care services more affordable.

• Retirement Security:

• Social Security and Medicare: Ensuring long-term viability and protecting these programs from cuts.

• Tax Reform:

• Fairer Tax Code: Closing loopholes to ensure wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share, while providing relief to middle- and lower-income families.

3. Fostering Innovation and Industrial Strength

• American Manufacturing:

• Revitalizing manufacturing through investments in clean energy, advanced industries, and sectors like electric vehicles, solar energy, and battery manufacturing.

• Job Creation:

• Infrastructure and energy investments will generate millions of well-paid jobs, particularly in manufacturing and construction.

Lies. Between 2004-2010 Kamala Harris was district attorney of San Francisco. In that time, there were 1956 marijuana convictions. Of those convicted, only 45 ever served jail time. Why?

In 2005 Kamala created a program called Back On Track, allowing low level non violent drug offenders to enroll in school in lieu of doing jail time.

When they graduate, their records are wiped clean, preventing barriers to employment in the future. The program was found to reduce recidivism, which was typically around 53%, to less than 10%.

"Kamala is a cop" is propaganda.

Tulsi Gabbard is a liar. She has absolutely no idea about VP Kamala Harris record and can’t even cite her sources.

As a reminder Kamala Harris did not lock up a single Black male for weed possession. And incarceration under her tenure dropped.

Feel free to share this video any time a liar appears.

GOOD! I knew that the information I was sharing would be shared by many many people and I am excited that the truth is being spread swiftly in response to the lies by people with bigger reach than me.

@katz_2022
No one goes to jail for posessing marijuana unless they have a LONG record. Or are selling a lot of it. Or did much worse but got a reduced plea to marijuana with some jail time. Harris is no better/worse on this than any other prosecutor.

@Cooperstreaming
This was not true 20 years ago and that's when she was district attorney. There were three strikes laws in California and so people could do extreme time for things like possession. Also the Back on Track program applied to low-level dealers as well.

Education is key.

Based on his feed I sincerely doubt Gary would give a single flying fukk if this actually did happen to Black men.

This program was a failure.

Kamala Harris’s Signature Achievement Was a Complete Failure

@Cooperstreaming
1. There are multiple factual inaccuracies in this article, claiming there were lots of truancy lockups for instance (incorrect)

2. This article continuously states a subjective opinion

3. It lists some of Tulsi gabbard's lies but does not directly call them all out as lies

@Cooperstreaming


We will continue to speak on it every single day. It's easy to do because Kamala's record speaks for itself, and they are just flat out LYING.

Nothing to hide or excuse here. The truth makes her look good, because she has always done good work.

@Gabi_Valerio3
I had no idea about this. Very nice initiative and results of the program. 97.7% success rate.

@Cooperstreaming
I'm thrilled not only that this tweet got some reach but that it appears many other people are sharing the same information! The propaganda and lies told about her time as DA are endless and the truth is actually really encouraging and positive

@BayesianNuance
Your "defense" of her will hurt her in the general election.

@Cooperstreaming
Yeah definitely letting blatant lies stay out there and not correcting them with facts is a bad call.

I don't have to "defend" anybody. There was a lie. I told the truth.

She also went on to extend the program to Los Angeles in 2015 as California’s Attorney General:

Yes! Thank you for posting the information I meant to get back to posting a link to info about the program

…because… … pot should never have been criminalized in the first place…



25/29
@Cooperstreaming
We can all agree on that but I don't think, Harris should be held personally responsible for a law that had been in place since approximately 1913. She was not a lawmaker at that point in her career. She was a prosecutor and she chose not to prosecute those cases with jail



26/29
@Vorclone
Thank you for this.



27/29
@Cooperstreaming
Thanks for taking the time to read it

@TheMarco
Oh wow thank you for sharing this. Even though I'm totally in her camp I was worried about this particular issue. So glad to hear it's just propaganda!



29/29
@Cooperstreaming
Yep, it's just a total lie. They do the same thing regarding her truancy program, which increased graduation rates by 33% & did not result in rampant jailing, it was about finding solutions for why kids weren't getting to school!

Liars will claim she jails everyone she sees.

@WalkerBragman
Kamala Harris explains her 'Back on Track' program which involved charging and convicting first-time drug offenders, many of whom were mothers and domestic abuse victims, before entering them into jobs programs instead of jail.



2/27
@WalkerBragman
Harris goes on to tout the fact that recidivism rates fell dramatically. What she doesn't mention is that CA's statute of limitations for offenses that carry jail time is 3 years. That means the convictions weren't necessary for her office to have leverage over these individuals.



3/27
@WalkerBragman
Simply put, Harris convicted these individuals--first-time offenders, many of whom were desperate women--not because she had to in order to keep them "on track," but because she chose to.



4/27
@WalkerBragman
Here are the exact stats about the program and the individuals who participated. (Note: This video is clipped for relevance)

Here's the full video. This bit about "Back on Track" starts around the 30 min mark: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=SrZ1OQbGSbU



5/27
@WalkerBragman
Interesting side note: Later in this speech, Harris appears to say the business community is better at solving problems better than people in law, government, or academia.



6/27
@WalkerBragman
"Back on Track" established a rigid set of requirements that handpicked participants would have to complete in order to escape jail time for first-time drug offenses. If they completed them, their records were expunged and sealed. But if not, they had already pleaded guilty...



7/27
@WalkerBragman
The 2005 CA Penal Code required guilty pleas for diversion of individuals charged with non-misdemeanor drug offenses like sales.

The question here is why Harris' office went after low-level drug sellers and charged them in the first place.

Reminds me of HRC in 2016. Pass the popcorn.

@Kittfornow
Every thing about Kamala Harris in this video speaking about this "you will go to jail" program causes me to despise her as a person. I've never had any doubt previous to this that I despised her as a presidential candidate.



10/27
@flitedocnm
1/ Walker, there is already a sense amongst many that she will be the anointed candidate, w/ the full support and financial assistance of corporate Dems. The millions that she pulled in on day 1 supports this. Her interrogations of Kavanaugh and Barr will be used a lot. And...

@SofaKingGay
I love Kamala because racists hate her.

@RobbinMilne
This reminded me of my time working in my county library inside our county detention facilities. The women incarcerated were there pregnant many times and because they had been used as stooges from their male partners. Women were put up to take the fall from bigger crimes. Sad.

@StuShoes18
Sounds like a good program


14/27
@TrinityMustache
first off, in SF in particular, that program was directed at low level dealers and traffickers. Simple possession was and still is rarely prosecuted in SF. Second, show me data supporting your assertion many of these people were moms. Third, show be evidence the program was

1/We are overdue to have a conversation as a nation about this stuff, specifically why we feel govt should be entitled to tell consenting adults what they can choose to do with their own bodies if they arent harming/endangering others, ever, under any circumstances. That said-

So she kept mothers and first time offenders out of jail. Cool.

@OrdoesitXplode
Most people won’t actually take the time to look at this entire thread but you’re slandering a program that seems to have results based on an indent I’ve you don’t agreee with. The program is basically reverse deferred probation in which guilty verdict comes first



21/27
@OrdoesitXplode
Most plea agreements require you pleading guilty. This program allowed those who committed crimes mostly out of their circumstances to hold jobs and gain access to positions despite them.


22/27
@PhoenixWomanMN
So she got them into jobs programs instead of putting them in jail, and you think that's horrible?

This is why I don't trust "Centrists," they do everything they can to appear tough to the right. And the right doesn't care, the Centrists are still "evil hippie liberals" to them.



25/27
@saucerspecial
It should also be noted that her program which only benefited hand-picked young, first-time offenders was a very small number relative to the tens of thousands processed by the jail system.

Some of the rookies benefited, but not the veterans.

you mean she followed the law, then worked to ensure they went through a program that could erase the charges. how evil. too bad you can't be honest enough to tell everything, walker. yes, we knew what you planned - mislead by omission. you call yourself a journalist?
