GOOD!

MORE OF THIS!

Trump's insurrection is costing the GOP voters.

"In Miami-Dade...more than 7X as many Republicans as Democrats changed their party registrations in the aftermath of the violence. The ratio was almost as high in Palm Beach County."
sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/…
A *2nd* data point to show that the GOP is hemorrhaging voters.

In Orange County, CA, they "lost 8x more voters than it gained after the violence in D.C., with 600 GOP voters lost from Wednesday to Friday".

They *gained* voters the month prior.
ocregister.com/2021/01/10/sou…
And now a 3rd instance of reporting from Pennsylvania:

"Staff reported a spike in phone inquiries after Wednesday’s riots, and 'virtually all the people calling were people saying ‘I no longer want to be a Republican, how I do change it.’”

cumberlink.com/news/local/gov…
A 4th report, from Florida:

"In Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, more than 1,000 Republicans left the party in the three days after the mob attack. Voting records show during the same three-day period last year, 65 Republicans left the party.

news.wjct.org/post/mini-exod…
Here's a 5th story, with GOP voters leaving the party in Pennyslvania and Ohio.

The party switching "...offers an early sign of the volatility ahead for the GOP as the party braces for political fallout of the riots that Trump incited."
tribtoday.com/news/latest-ne…
Yet another article on the GOP exodus, detailing some previously reported information...but including this tidbit from Arizona:

"Arizona's Secretary of State's office has seen thousands of Republicans change their party registration since last Wednesday."
newsweek.com/swing-states-r…
Story #7:

Douglas County is in #NE02, which Joe Biden flipped in 2020.

“We've seen an uptick in voter registration change and as you could imagine the vast majority of those are going from Republican either to nonpartisan, Democrat, or Libertarian."
wowt.com/2021/01/13/dou…
#8: Another story that Pennsylvania GOPers are leaving the party.

"Nearly 100 voters in Lebanon County have changed, more than normal for the same period in the past. Most are GOP voters who switched to the Democratic, Libertarian or independent parties."
ydr.com/story/news/202…
Here's #9 where the headline says it all:

"Hundreds of Central Florida Republicans Leave the Party After Capitol Riot"

orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne…
#10: North Carolina

Of the 5,000 NC voters who have switched parties since the riots:

2,879 (60%) left the Republican Party
864 (18%) left the Democratic Party

wnct.com/news/politics/…
Story #11: Tampa Bay, Florida

"2,025 Republicans in the three counties switched parties from Jan. 6 through Thursday. That compares to 306 Democrats who switched parties in the same period, even though Democrats outnumber Republicans in the counties."
tampabay.com/news/florida-p…
12. Duval/Jacksonville, FL

"The impact has prompted more defections from the Republican Party in Duval County. The number of GOP defections in Jacksonville has more than doubled in the past week."

Said one official: “It’s an awful big number."

floridapolitics.com/archives/39573…
Story #13: ARIZONA

"In the days following the siege at the Capitol, 4,937 Republicans sent in a request...to switch or remove the party affiliation on their voter registration."

Only 918 Democrats made similar requests.
abc15.com/news/state/cap…
Story #14: Erie, PA

The GOP had been gaining in Erie...until now.

"Between Jan. 4-11, 114 Republicans left the party, compared to just 22 Democrats doing the same."

PA Statewide:

"4,103 former Republicans switched...compared to 1,789 Democrats.
goerie.com/story/news/pol…
Story #15: Linn County/Cedar Rapids/Iowa

"158 Linn County Republicans switched their affiliation. That is 11.5% of the 1,376 statewide voters to flip sides in the last two weeks."

Only 14 people have joined the GOP in that same time.
cbs2iowa.com/news/local/tho…
Story #16: Lee County, FL (Ft. Myers/Cape Coral)

"According to a report from the Lee County Supervisor of Elections Office, in the week following the Capitol riot, 668 people changed their political affiliation. Nearly 530 of them were Republicans."

winknews.com/2021/01/18/hun…
Story #17: COLORADO

"Since the beginning of the year, there are about 10,000 fewer registered Republican voters."

kdvr.com/news/politics/…
Story #18: Maricopa/Pinal Counties in ARIZONA

4,000 Arizona Republicans left their party in these 2 counties alone.

"It’s shocking that so many would switch in one week."

kjzz.org/content/165260…
The excellent @ElectProject is keeping his own thread on Republican party switchers, focusing mostly on North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

He's got hard numbers, and if you're interested in the topic it's worth checking out his tweets.

Story #18: I've been waiting for national coverage of Republican voters leaving the GOP after the Trump-inspired insurrection...and now it's starting to break through.

Would love to see it amplified further.

Story #19: ARIZONA

This piece is about the Arizona GOP’s general descent into madness, but it spends some time highlighting the THOUSANDS of Arizona Republicans who have left the party since Trump’s Insurrection.

Jeff Flake weighs in on the exodus of Arizona Republicans.

Unlike today's GOP, the numbers don't lie.

Story #20: Oklahoma

Yes, Oklahoma.

2,000 Oklahomans have opted to leave the Republican Party since the Capitol Insurrection, making up for 80% of all voter registration changes in that time.

kfor.com/news/couple-th…
Story #21: North Carolina

Here is a much deeper dive into the North Carolina Republican voters who are leaving the GOP in the wake of the Capitol Insurrection.

"Republicans lost 5,855 voters. Democrats gave up only 210 voters."

newsobserver.com/news/politics-…
Story #22: COLORADO

Here's an in-depth look into some of the 4,600 Republican voters who left the GOP between 1/6-1/12.

More than 10,000 have left altogether.

One now-former Republican:

"As my husband said, it’s just become the party of mean people."
cpr.org/2021/01/27/mee…
Story #23: Bush Administration Officials

Small in number, but large in stature, "roughly 60 to 70 former Bush officials have decided to leave the party or are cutting ties with it".

The exodus continues.

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Story #24: UTAH

7,600 Republicans have left the party in Utah since the Insurrection.

Said one voter:

“I will not be part of that. That is disgusting. I just don’t recognize the party. It’s not the Republican Party anymore. It’s a Trump party.”
sltrib.com/news/politics/…
Story #25: OREGON

6,145 Republicans have left the party in Oregon since 1/6.

It's the largest drop in decades.

Among them?

Knute Buehler, the 2018 GOP nominee for Governor.

kgw.com/article/news/p…
Story #26: CALIFORNIA

The number of California GOPers who have left their party *tripled* in the aftermath of the Insurrection.

We’ve now had *2* major accusations against Biden that have been refuted:

1. Robert Hur’s accusation about Biden’s cognition, which was belied by his own words in the transcript.

2. The GOP’s accusation of Biden taking bribes, which fell apart when their witness was indicted.
Republicans have relied heavily on both of these false narratives, and both have crumbled away.

Impeachment is going nowhere and Biden’s SOTU killed their ‘Sleepy Joe’ approach.

That’s a big problem for the GOP.

Why? Two reasons.
1. Now the GOP needS to formulate new lines of attack. It wont be easy.

2. Those two false Biden narratives were supposed ‘cancel out’ the *accurate* liabilities for Trump: his obvious cognitive decline and his blatant corruption. That strategy is gone now.

I really encourage everyone to read this conversation with @SimonWDC (posted by @atrupar without a paywall; thank you Aaron!).

There are some great electoral and political insights that cut through many of the BS media narratives that we are being fed.
publicnotice.co/p/simon-rosenb…
I love this part.

Many of us are still so traumatized by 2016 that we've created this mythology around Trump and his abilities.

But the data points to 2016 having been - dare I say - a fluke.

Don't get me wrong, a fluke could happen again.

But not if we put in the hard work. Image
I see this trauma every day in my conversations with like-minded friends and family.

I see the anxiety, I see the fear, I see the pessimism.

It's as though they are stuck in '16, and the subsequent seven years of elections never happened.

It's a mindset we have to break.

Yesterday was a test.

Some passed. Others failed.

And there are many lessons to be learned.

A thread on Hur, Biden, the Special Counsel report, and those who reported on it.

⬇️⬇️⬇️
Yesterday’s biggest failure easily belongs to the media.

They gullibly reported Robert Hur’s blatantly partisan opinions as though they were facts of the case.

Hur played the media like a fiddle, and they danced along to the beat.
Any news outlet with even a hint of experience with the subject matter should have known that Hur’s biased editorializing was as unprofessional as it was irregular, and reported it through that prism.

But they didn’t.

Quick story/thread:

Today I remembered that I have an old-coworker/friend who lives in #NY03.

So naturally I texted her to find out whether she was going to vote early (or at all), what she's seeing on the ground, etc.

Couple of interesting tidbits...
First, my friend is a registered Independent who pretty consistently votes blue. Her husband is also an independent, but I'm not sure how he votes.

Anyhow, she's been getting Suozzi people knocking on her door one a week and 3 fliers a day, also for Suozzi.

She's in Nassau btw.
Of note: Despite being an Ind, NO ONE from Mazi Pilip's camp has knocked on her door.

She hasn't voted early yet, but will try to this weekend with family.

I told her - per @SimonWDC's Vote on Day 1 Rule - the sooner she votes early, the sooner the doorknocking will stop lol. Image

🎉TOP 10 ELECTION WIN COUNTDOWN OF 2023🎉

I’ll take actual election results over pointless polls any day.

So instead of fretting, let’s take a moment to celebrate our big electoral wins this year.

We’ve earned it!
10. Virginia State Senate Special Election

This January 2023 Special Election - which saw Democrat Aaron Rouse flip a red seat blue - foreshadowed what was to come in November:

A good night for VA Democrats and a bad night for VA Republicans. Image
9. Jacksonville Mayor

Florida has been a major downer for Democrats the last few years, so seeing Democrat Donna Deegan flip the Jacksonville Mayor’s office was a sorely needed, morale-boosting victory. Image

🚨THE 10 MOST IMPORTANT ELECTIONS OF 2023🚨

There are major elections this November that require our time, our effort, our donations, and our votes.

Here is a 🧵 of my Top 10.
🗳️VIRGINIA STATE SENATE🗳️

Virginia State Senators serve 4 year terms.

So winning this chamber will be a bulwark against total GOP control in Virginia for 4 years.

Control of the Virginia Senate is the most important outcome this November.

🗳️MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR🗳️

Medicaid expansion.
Shuttered hospitals.
Jackson water crisis.
Rampant GOP corruption.
A scandal-plagued Governor.

#MSGov is a tough race, but it’s life-or-death for Mississippians.

Help elect @BrandonPresley.
