Here is the third part of my assessment of the Nevada Gop tragedy. Again, it’s not just about the Nevada Republican Party. These are lessons for the whole country.
The issue was confirmed by the national conservative Superstar Radio Talk Bill Cunningham. Bill and I talked a few days ago. Let’s compare the results between Nevada and Ohio first.
In Nevada, GOP lost almost every immense office. Democrats also strengthened their majority in the Senate and the State Assembly. Everything is painted blue. In Ohio GOP he won every immense office and kept the majority in the State Senate and the Chamber. Everything is painted red. What caused such different results?
Cunningham has a local talk show radio cincinnati, as well as the popular national talk show. His local Cincinnati program is a radio lamp that dominates in the air waves in Ohio.
My program is the only afternoon radio program that reaches the entire state of Nevada. Like the Cunningham program, this is a conservative Nevada leopard.
But here is the difference. In Ohio, every GOP candidate appeared many times as a guest in Cunningham. They understood that this was the most effective way to reach conservatives from Ohio and motivating the GOP base.
The same candidates from Ohio GOP not only appeared in Bill, but also bought immense advertising campaigns in the series. Between the interviews of candidates and advertisements all the conservative voters from Ohio heard 24 hours a day that they were GOP candidates. This is called branding.
GOP won virtually everything up and down the ticket. Bill Cunningham played a gigantic role. He got a message to Ohio GOP voters.
In Nevada, our GOP managers and consultants are … How do you say good? Stupid and stupid. Or maybe they tried to lose. Maybe they were on the wage list of the Reid machine. Because no one can intentionally be so stupid.
My producer, Andrew Paul, tried to contact every main GOP candidate in this state for many months – in particular US senator Dean Heller and Governor’s candidate Adam Laxalt. Their consultants were not interested.
They usually didn’t even call back. When they did this, they said that their candidates did not have time to interview and “without money for the radio.”
Lack of money for a conservative discussion radio, the only platform on the ground that you can impress, motivate and mark your name of your own base? Dean Heller couldn’t find eight minutes for an interview to introduce himself to his own base? And he spent tens of millions, but he didn’t have a dollar for radio advertising for his own base?
Laxalt was about 1 percent better. He spent practically nothing and one appeared – at 15:30 on the day of the election. Talk about being slow and miniature dollars. Your own base has never heard from you.
Result? Ohio Gop won everything. Nevada Gop lost everything. Do you think there could be a connection?
Each GOP consultant in this state should be banned to touch another republican campaign anywhere in America.
