Russia – Ukraine

• Perplexing on many levels

• The Biden Administration talks openly about the impending threat

  • Sounds a lot like entrapment

  • Is it a coincidence that this starts up just as Biden’s numbers tip to the low 40’s?

• Is this a reaction to the soft stance of the Biden Administration?

  • Handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban with a gift of billions of dollars of equipment, and the deadly/disorganize fleeing from Kabul

  • Not exactly a show of power by the US

Segment 2

Introduction

• The fate of Ohio’s Primary is still up in the air.

• The difficulties of challenging an incumbent.

Ohio Redistricting

• The Ohio Redistricting Commission members now have until noon on Feb. 23 to tell the court why they shouldn’t be held in contempt.

• 2020 Census and Election Results determine map guidelines

• Conflict between “democracy”

  • Trump 53.3%, Biden 45.3% therefore, Dem’s deserve 45.3% of all election categories

• and Republic

  • Trump won 81 counties, Biden won 7 therefore Dem’s deserve only 8% of election categories

• No way to give Dem’s 45.3% without enormous gerrymandering

• This is all thanks to constitution change agreed to by voters in 2015. Clearly no one thought through the changes.

• Impact of the lollygagging on redistricting

• Power of incumbents

• What does it take to get true voter responsibility as opposed to the power of lobbyists?

Segment 3

Introduction

• Priorities for Ohio Primary

Ohio GOP State Central Committee Actions

• Friday’s meeting was an embarrassing display of dysfunction

  • It’s a long video but 1:03 is the “Financial Reports”, 1:18 is the recommendation to endorse

• Voted 36-26 to endorse the slate of “statewide incumbents”

• The adjectives that come to mine – pompous, self-important, grand standing, total disdain for voters

• We need fresh blood that actually represents the voters to the party, not mandating the party wants onto the voters.

Precinct Executives and State Central Committee

• Why are these roles important?

  • PEs are the basic infrastructure for the ground game of the party

  • SCC members set statewide direction

    • Currently the focus is on the party, not the voter

    • No focus on messaging or principles

• How do you win the election?

• How do you defeat the incumbents especially if the SCC funds their own members!?
