Good day, Mr. Phelps. Our country only experienced a once-in-a-generation vote in which new, impartial, and cross voters decided the election for Donald Trump. Your goal, should you choose to take it: change these low-propensity Trump voters into credible Republican voters.
Trump rode down his golden elevator in 2015 to begin his third presidential campaign, not only upset the Establishment GOP. In a way that MAGA and more conventional Republicans are learning to deal with and strengthen, he likewise upset established Republican election patterns, both for good and for bad.  ,
Consider the Red Wave of 2022 that largely failed to appear? There was a significant positive aspect to that cloud, which opens the door to 2026 and above, despite the fact that not very many people are talking about it.
A mid-2023 Pew study found that when it came to mobilizing voters for the’ 22 midterms,” Republicans benefited more than Democrats did, with more of their 2018 voters turning out ( i. e., casting a ballot ) again in 2022″. Moreover,” Republicans also won handily among 2022 citizens who had not voted in 2018″.
That’s a big change from 2018 when Democrat participation blew the GOP out of the ocean. Calling it” an incredible, almost ancient time for congressional vote turnout”, what Brookings found in its review was that “young adults, fresh minorities, and light college graduates” turned out in record numbers for that year’s Blue Wave. What’s unusual about 2018 is how Democrats managed to win the election in which Trump was n’t even cast in the poll.
In the 22nd grade, the Republicans suffered primarily from a combination of unqualified candidates and a media landscape that had not yet been plowed under by Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter ( now X ) just two weeks before the election.
Richard Fernandez, a partner at PJ Media, characterized the sea alter that Musk’s X has contributed:
Regardless of your opinion of the vote results, it seems clear:
1. the Internet has replaced Screen as a source of information,
2. Henry the Navigator’s opening of the Frontier is unprecedented.
3. tradition success has surpassed innovation in importance.— wretchardthecat ( @wretchardthecat ) November 12, 2024
Before the democrats resurrected it as a homeless camp, Twitter served as the nation’s online public square. ” Then that Twitter is X, it’s better work, and certainly is serving as the country’s city square”, Glenn Reynolds wrote this week to notice his return to the system.
The media environment has been fundamentally altered because of Musk’s resumption of the software it was meant to be ( my colleague Stephen Kruiser can explain how the Tea Party was hatched in Twitter DMs) and the traditional media outlets ‘ completely recluse behavior. With your help, non-traditional retailers like PJ Media can also keep stories dead that the major media would prefer to bury and are inappropriate for X’s short attention span. It is impossible to overstate the value of having a level playing field that occasionally swerves our way, like a shoddy high-top bistro table.
But the public has changed, too, and that’s where the hard labor of our Mission: Feasible begins.
Voting desire is used by experts to determine a voter’s ranking. In the third election, 33 % of voters cast ballots, which means they are eligible to cast in the following vote. Those are followed by 2/3, 1/3, and 0/3 citizens, and I assumed you’ve now figured out what those think.
Additionally, there are thousands of new voters signing up in Pennsylvania just in time for the presidential election next week. The most recent statistics I have go back to September, but Presler’s party, First Vote Action, fundamentally altered the public. According to my ChatGPT research assistant — do n’t worry, I double-checked its work — even before Presler was done, Democrats comprised 44 % of registered voters, down from 51.2 % in 2009, while Republicans increased to 40.2 % from 36.9 % in the same period.
Read those numbers afterwards. Almost 15 percent of registered voters ‘ vote-in-progress was a record low. All that was required was to enable zero-propensity citizens register, and anyone else would do the same.
In October, fresh GOP voter registrations continued to surpass Liberals, proving there’s a strong perfectly of disgruntled Blue State MAGAs/conservatives/Republicans who never bothered to vote. Sometimes they figured it was futile, even nobody had ever reached out to them. Whatever the reason, it does n’t matter. What Presler did for the GOP in Pennsylvania, he ( and others! ) can do in upstate New York, northern California, downstate Illinois, and in every other position that Republicans have written off since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 once-in-a-lifetime near-sweep.
Reihan Salam and Charles Fain Lehman of City Journal noticed something that was lost in our great, blue cities during the post-election joy. Salam and Lehman claimed that” Trump most overperformed in large metro regions” in a row titled” America’s Cities Want to Be Great Again.”
It was n’t just a few cities, either. Trump improved on his 2020 achievement in locations as varied as Chicago, Detroit, and Dallas. He won Miami-Dade County openly. In 30 times, he won the most Democratic victory in New York City. One west Philadelphia community voted for him by about three to one in a corridor in lower Manhattan.
” Compared with his work against Joe Biden”, they continued,” Trump ran 9 items closer to Kamala Harris in like areas—a bigger get than he saw in cities, college cities, or military content”.
Emphasis added.
These swings are attributed to the amazing diversity of the Trump coalition, which, according to exit polls, may have included a second of Latino men and a five of black men, the authors said. Even in New York City,” Trump ran off vote not just on Staten Island, but in hyper-diverse Queens and South Brooklyn”.
Vox leader and über-lefty Ezra Klein laid it on the column for Progressives:
The people , @EzraKlein spoke to in big towns before the election were angry.

Have you ever imagined a Brooklyn trendy wearing a MAGA helmet? Also, with or without the helmet — they’re out it.
One of the most important Trump voters, no question, is Joe Rogan. The two men’s three-hour podcast, which was recorded on October 26, has received a whopping 41 million views, possible as a result of Trump’s significant win among young, male voters. While Biden-Harris won 59 % of under-30 men in 2020, they broke 56 % for Trump-Vance in 2024 — a yuge 15-point swing.
This place is fairly radial but bears mentioning. For 20 times, young people have been accused of being” toxic,” also adolescent males. Adult video role models in my teenage years were Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.  ,
Yesterday’s young men are supposed to emulate Tim Walz, have their bad cut off if they like green, and cling complacently reject overly-credentialed Feminazi Mean Girls. Worse, in his most recent trip, an obnoxious Girl Boss artist who had hands like reeds cleaned Indiana Jones ‘ time.
I’d also tell you that this…

… was Harris’s thought of female mentoring.
I’d also like to remind you that the Democrats wo n’t be so stupid forever because Harris was a terrible choice.
Compare all that to a no-bull***t person ‘s-man blogger like Rogan. Or Trump, for that matter. Or Musk. Before a sense of responsibility called them to the public service, Trump and Musk lived their lives building items. Young people really strive for and emulate that trait.
Here’s some advice that the Trump White House probably wo n’t need: keep JD Vance front and center.
Simply Vance, one of the four candidates for the two major party tickets, managed to win the overall preference award. And he had the least advantageous standing when he launched the campaign. Folks like JD Vance. He’s one of those politicians who does n’t come off as a political hack but who is the kind of person that both men and women adore.  ,
I’ll be completely honest and convince you that the governor of Florida is. Ron DeSantis is still my personal favorite for 2028, in large part because” RDS won almost 60 % of the re-election vote.” Made probable by 1st word results, fortitude, and savvy. All without Susie Wiles”. That’s from VIP part Cato, as he put it in the responses to Scott Pinsker’s latest row. Vance lacks the proactiveness of RDS’s professional expertise. I believe in the main process, which means that we as Republicans may choose a candidate we may support, more than any specific candidate.
Younger women, too. Contraception! Contraception! Pregnancy! did n’t send them flying into Kamala Harris’s arms, and Trump even won suburban white women by four points. The pregnancy debate was moved back to the states where it should be in thanks to the Dobbs choice. If Republicans are wise, they’ll keep it there. The trans issues were crucial to them, also. Democrats believed they could move psychological problems into a winning civil rights issue despite the fact that American of all stripes are generally accepting of people who are different.
What they forgot was this: most people are standard. That’s why it’s called that.
Let’s take a step back and consider the bigger picture now because that was a lot of facts I gave you.
It’s safe to say that these are not the wild ideological liberals that Trump brought on board, from first-time electors in Pennsylvania to fresh men of all races to industrial voters tired of crime and failed schools.
The 2024 Trump coalition includes first-time citizens, dispirited young voters, and unhappy industrial citizens. They are not Republicans… but maybe they could get.
The first thing they’ll want to see is effects. Some of those benefits Trump may provide but, looking past 2026, 2028, and beyond, the GOP’s Mission: Possible is to continue the work that Trump has begun. That means running Republicans in “impossible” native school board races in areas like Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Chicago. That means taking Scott Presler’s voting registration travel nationwide. That entails conducting surveys in areas where no Republican has been elected in years. It means extending trees to those who are just as ignorant of what conservative means, both individually for you and me.
Secretary Rubio will disprove any awareness of your behavior if you or any members of your Possible Mission Force are caught or killed, as usual. This column may self-destruct in ten seconds. Great success.
