Stay the in the Race Nikki Haley

I am voting for Donald Trump, but I want to see Nikki Haley stay in the primary race for a little while longer. Her candidacy provides valuable data for Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular.

In 2020 thousands of suburban voters left Donald Trump blank but voted Republican down the line. One may complain about the race being stolen, but had these voters cast a vote for Donald Trump, any effort to sabotage Trump would not have overcome a vast turnout with these Republican non-Trump voters in Trump’s column.

So now it is 2024. Nikki Haley reaches those who skipped over Donald Trump in 2020. With her in the race, Republicans and the Trump campaign can identify them now, in the primary, months before the general campaign. More importantly something can be done to reach some of those this time around.

Nikki Haley voters in the Presidential Primary form an interesting profile. Some are solid Republicans who will vote for the eventual nominee.

Some are Democrats who are crossing over to cast a vote against Trump. They will vote for the Democrat nominee in November and will never vote for Trump or any other Republican (not even Nikki) in November.

Some see themselves as Republican leaning voters but consider themselves independent. These are the ones who voted Republican down ballot but left the Presidential race blank. At this point, they will be inclined to do the same or vote for a 3rd party candidate.

It is the last group that Republicans and Donald Trump need in November. Now the Republican party is faced with an opportunity to identify these voters this spring.

While the vast majority of campaign investments will be toward the general voter, The Republican party and the Trump campaign will do well to form a Special Operations Strategy aimed specifically at the Nikki Haley voter.

President Trump himself should be involved in this strategy. While Trump will be Trump, he could identify those counties, precincts, and voters who support Nikki Haley and listen to determine what message will peel off those independent voters.

Campaign materials targeting those voters can be used to persuade them that Trump is the candidate whose policies match their politics. After four years of Biden that will be an easier sell than it was in 2020.

So, Nikki, stay in the race a little longer. Then, after New Hampshire and South Carolina, suspend your campaign and ask your supporters to get behind Donald Trump.

Be a part of a Republican Special Operations Team to identify those voters who voted for you but will need to be reached to vote for Trump. Don’t do it just for Donald Trump, do it for America.

Where to Now?

The “Hate Donald Trump” show in Congress dropped the curtain on its final act. Donald Trump was acquitted in the Senate trial and that saga is finally over for now at least.

The proceedings were called an impeachment but that is a misnomer. An impeachment is a trial to remove a current office holder from office. Continue reading

Yeah, I Said That

Honorable Brian Kemp, Governor
206 Washington Street
Suite 203, State Capitol
Atlanta, GA 30334

December 19, 2020

Dear Governor Kemp,

Call a special session of the Georgia Legislature. Since November 3, we have heard repeatedly “there is no credible evidence” of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the election.

What is the basis for that statement? Has there been a court case that actually ruled on the factual claims? Continue reading

The Rule of Law and Where We Need to Focus

Why not “do the right thing and concede?” Is it not for the “good of the nation?” After all, Nixon conceded to Kennedy when there were serious questions about Cook County, Illinois.

This is the question raised by so-called moderates. Some Republicans joined the chorus, but fortunately, most Republicans have not. Continue reading

Your Time Has Come

Early Voting is underway! Click Here to Find Your Early Voting Location and hours. 

Do you have a Donald Trump sign in your yard or fly a Donald Trump flag? Have you participated in the boat parades or caravans for Trump? 

Are you voting for Donald Trump? If you want to help Donald Trump, then you will be voting for every Republican on the ballot. That sends a crystal clear message that Democrats abandoned your values. 

If you are in the 2nd District it is especially important. A vote for Don Cole for Congress takes a vote from Nancy Pelosi.

It does not matter what the incumbent might have done for anyone. When he sided with Nancy Pelosi and voted, against your wishes, to impeach President Trump, he nullified everything. 

I hope that none of my readers will, on the one hand vote for Donald Trump, and then turn around and cancel out his or her vote by voting for the man who voted to impeach President Trump and does what Nancy Pelosi and the radical, socialist Democrat leaders tell him to do. That undermines everything President Trump is trying to do for America. 

Maybe he thought that people would forget. We have not forgotten. We will not forget. 

Your time has come! We will send a message that our vote in Congress belongs to us, not to the establishment (Democrat or Republican) in Washington, DC. 

Find out here where you can vote in person. Go today. God has not promised anyone tomorrow. 

I want to let you know what we are doing to get our message out. You can help and even a small donation helps to get a message to you in your county.

I am purchasing ad space in the weekly newspapers around the district. Many in the community from both political parties read these newspapers. My ad is not just a cookie cutter ad that gets my name out. 

I am writing a letter to the people in each county and talk about a different issue each week. I am doing the same in the Southwest Georgia Newspaper that has predominantly black readership.

Topics thus far have included Economy, Right to Life. This week will be a hard hitting piece on Ethics. 

I am reaching out to the African-American population with radio advertisements and the simple old-fashioned way of simply and directly asking for their votes. 

How much I can get out in these last weeks is directly related to how much my readers and supporters are able to invest. I’m not going to badger you with a text every few hours.

Whatever you feel that you can give is much appreciated. Give on line here or mail your donation to Don Cole for Congress P.O. Box 1181 Cordele, GA 31010.

Finally, your influence is broader than you may realize. The best endorsement I can get from anyone is your endorsement to your family and friends.

They know you. They trust you. You make a difference. When you go vote, it makes a difference. When you ask someone to vote, it makes a difference. When you take someone to vote, it makes a difference. 

Thank you for making a difference. You have been waiting for years through Mueller, fake news, impeachment, and insanity that we never dreamed we would see in our nation.

Your time has come! Go vote! It is Time. It Past Time. It is Waaay Past Time!   

 Send DC to DC!

Democrat Doublespeak

Leslie and I took a cruise at the end of the year and just returned. I purposely declined the ship’s internet package so the only reason I carried my phone was to take pictures.

We needed to get away from everything and make a major decision. I will write more about that in the near future. Continue reading
