So what is the superior strategy when losing an election? Is it the democrat way of accusing the other side of voter suppression and/or Russian intervention, or the GOP way of accusing the other side of fraud?
Even if Trump, the Populist, lost, the GOP won. Hell, did you see how well the Conservative Position swept even the CA propositions?
THE LEFT’S UNCONVINCING ALIBI FOR THE DEFEAT OF PROP 16

Proposition 16 was rejected by the voters of California by a wide margin. Prop 16 was the left’s attempt to allow racial and other forms of discrimination by the State. Prop 16’s sponsors attribute the defeat to voter confusion. But Prop 16 didn’t lose because voters were confused. It lost because most people don’t favor a racial spoils system overseen by the Left. Not even in CA.
Prop 16’s sponsors tried to sell the snake oil of diversity and were ***** slapped by CA Libs who want the government to judge people by their character and their credentials, not by the color of their skin.
Gail Heriot, of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission:
The polls have been consistent for decades. Whenever the issue is stated fairly and clearly, opposition to race and sex preferences is overwhelming. For example, in 2003, 2006, 2013, and 2016, the Gallup has asked the following question of poll respondents:
“Which comes closer to your view about evaluating students for admission into college or university—applicants should be admitted solely on the basis of merit, even if that results in few minority students being admitted (or) an applicant’s racial or ethnic background should be considered to help promote diversity on college campuses, even if that means admitting some minority students who otherwise would not be admitted.”
The responses were consistent: The number of respondents choosing “solely on merit” is always at least twice as great as the number choosing “help promote diversity.”
In 2016, it was 70% for “solely on merit” vs. 26% for considering racial or ethnic background.
Note that the question was posed so as to take account of the arguments on both sides. Respondents were alerted to the possibility that without considering race or ethnic background “few minority students” may be admitted. Note also that, if anything, the question is unfair to the “NO on 16” campaign, since most “NO” voters are willing to take into consideration things other than academic achievement (such as low income); they simply oppose using race or ethnicity as the measure of disadvantage.
When it comes to parties, the American People like to switch back and forth. So we had GOP, then Dem, then a Populist, probably time to try a GOP president, next time.
