Draggingtree Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Ricochet: Plan for 2016: Focus on 2018 and 2020. Four Things We Should Do Member James Madison August 29, 2016 12 COMMENTS William Tecumseh Sherman, a man who learned from defeat and others.In the Washington Post, Tom C. Korologos and Richard V. Allen give us some advice about 2016: Focus on 2018 and 2020. It had been my hope the GOP would continue its Shermanesque political march through the United States, winning more political offices faster from any opposition party than ever before (about a 1,000 state and national seats from 2010 to 2014), but alas we may have extended our lines of communication too far. My plans this time last year were winning Ohio, Pennsylvannia, the White House, and then 60 seats in the Senate in 2018. Well, to borrow a line from Dana Carvey imitating George H. W. Bush, “Not gonna happen.” With this mind, here is the advice these two experienced men offer: These are desperate times. Dig in. Defend your line. Goldwater and 1964 are a parallel. A long, hard slog awaits. Do the hard stuff and things will be good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
