National Journal: “Republicans who run campaigns gripe they lose races because of candidates and ideology… But those same Republicans who have shepherded countless Senate, House, and presidential candidates should add one more culprit to their list: themselves. Because there’s mounting evidence that the party’s political class simply isn’t good at running campaigns anymore.”
“They’re certainly not as good as the Democrats. The turnout experts, TV whizzes, and all-around gurus of the Grand Old Party have been outnumbered and outsmarted by their adversaries, who have spent a decade retrofitting their entire political infrastructure. The result is a dizzying talent gap between the two parties’ political classes, one that shows few signs of closing as the 2014 midterms begin. In some ways, the GOP is years behind on solving a problem that has no quick fixes.”
GOP digital strategist Patrick Ruffini was our guest on the podcast to talk about how Republicans were closing the digital divide.
