Republicans’ Vision For America Won’t Win Unless They Show Voters Why It Should:

Republicans have a superior and more successful vision for America, but they have to commit to it and sell it to voters.

Hundreds of policies are constantly being shuffled around tabletops in the halls of Congress — like puzzle pieces in search of the right position. All these pieces belong to one of two puzzles. The pieces of these two puzzles are continuously being put in place in small conference rooms in the Capitol, private dining areas in D.C. restaurants, and congressional offices by lobbyists, leadership staff, and a few senior congressmen and senators. Everyone else in Washington is essentially irrelevant, mostly window dressing.

The metaphorical box tops telling you what the completed puzzle picture looks like for these two puzzles represent very different visions for America. One box top has the picture of what Democrats want America to become. This picture imagines America as part of a global union where borders and national identity are part of a racist and backward past. A multi-national ruling class oversees the uniform delivery of health care, education, as well as the equitable distribution of goods, services, and wealth. The role of state and local governments is essentially eliminated.

In fairness, most Democrats don’t see this picture, only the Democrats who control the party. These invisible, behind-the-scenes leaders know the American people are not ready to accept this picture of America, so they and their allies in the Democrat aligned media have been gradually selling voters on pieces of their puzzle for several decades. Concepts such as “Medicare for All” are trial balloons to condition Americans to accept government-run health care. Open borders are preparation for a global citizenry. Accepting laws from the United Nations are grooming Americans for global governance. Get the picture?  

The box top for the Republican puzzle is much less clear — at least to the public. The official platform of the Republican Party reflects the same framework for good policies I’ve presented in this series of articles. (Find links to all of these articles above.) This is the picture of America envisioned by our founders. Unfortunately, this box top is much harder to communicate and sell. This is because Republican leaders have often compromised and helped assemble the Democrat puzzle, and because many American voters lack the critical thinking skills to connect policies (causes) with outcomes (effects).

Republican policies create the conditions for freedom, prosperity, civility, and security to thrive. The “framework for good policies” presented in this series of articles will create these conditions. But creating these conditions does not mean creating government programs. The Democrats and Democrat aligned media maintain that Republicans do not have a “plan” unless it is a government program with lots of new spending. And many voters have a hard time understanding how concepts such as free markets and the restoration of Judeo-Christian values can make their lives better. This requires connecting causes with effects. 

I have often said that Democrats are giving away free candy while the Republicans are trying to sell vegetables. Vegetables are better for you, but free candy is hard to resist. Republicans must become much better salesmen for their vision of America. But they must first become much more consistent when it comes to putting the pieces of their vision in the right puzzle.

This framework establishes the questions that every politician and voter should ask when evaluating a proposed federal policy:

• Does it create more freedom for American citizens to make their own choices? Does it foster more private-sector competition? Does it encourage the dissemination of information to enable good decisions? Does it ensure that citizens have the financial means to make good choices for essential services?
• Does it reduce dependency on the government for essential personal needs? Does it encourage work? Does it encourage personal responsibility and self-reliance? Does it create alternatives to government-controlled welfare, retirement plans, and health care? --->READ MORE HERE
