Throughout World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill reminded his countrymen that they could not, through their endeavors alone, guarantee victory. “All we can do is deserve it,” he said.
The same is true of President Trump and the Republican Party in 2020. The economy, the media, the Democrats, and countless other factors beyond any conservative’s control will factor into the election two years from now. Ultimately, it’s up the voters. All the president and his party in Congress can do between now and then is make the best argument for why they, and not the Left, should prevail on election day.
The Democrats appear ready to do their part. Much has been made of progressives’ lurch to the left in recent years. Many Democratic candidates — most of them too young to remember the Cold War — openly embracing socialism in one form or another. And the entire party has embraced an angry, vindictive form of identity politics that divides and demonizes the American people. But, while the Left seems to be going crazy, they’re not stupid. Republicans should not expect Democrats to repeat the mistake of nominating an out-of-touch, dishonest, corrupt presidential candidate again. Hillary Clintons don’t grow on trees.
And so, come 2020, Republicans are going to have to make a positive case for their vision and agenda.
The good news is, this is President Trump’s strong suit. For all the media coverage of his lightning rod tweets and combative style, Donald Trump is an extremely effective political communicator. And that’s because has a great message to communicate.Read the rest from Jim DeMint HERE.
