How to Stop Cheaters from Winning

     My wife taught me long ago (before she was my wife, actually) that the best way to stop people from cheating is to win anyway. At the time, we were discussing the playing of spades, but it works in any contest where there are established rules that one party believes the other is not following. Win anyway.

    Therefore to those nay-sayers who truly believe that the election of 2020 was stolen by the Democrats (and I can assure you, it was not), then I say to you that you are going about winning the wrong way. Instead of limiting the votes of people who may disagree, or monitoring polling places for reasons tp contest the outcome, Republicans should come up with a message and/or purpose to serve the American people better than the Democrats. Instead of catering to a "base" and attempting to limit access of political power to that base, expand the base! Include more voters in your political aspirations. 

Sell a dream, a common hope, a common goal to a broader spectrum of people. Become statesmen, see and feel what the United States of America needs and wants to be a whole nation - one people under God. Find a way to communicate this to the constituency of your choice and to others whom you must work with to make these dreams a reality. Enlist the American people to help you, and them, reach these lofty goals. Teach, help, speak with truth and passion about those things that all Americans want and need; a good education without crushing debt, a place to work without being exploited, safe homes and neighborhoods, and to build a life according to the American Dream. If you can reasonably achieve these things with a plan that voters will accept, then no one can beat you at the ballot box, no matter how much they try to cheat.

    The 2020 election was not stolen by the Democrats, it was lost by the Republicans because they are sending the message that they know better than the people what is good for the country. And the people answered. If Republicans want to win, and hold power long term, then instead of telling us what's best for us, listen, and we'll tell you what's best for us. And if you promise that, you'll win. Be you Republican or Democrat.
