Fragmentation of Your Organization
Not the Way to Win V2

One might wonder why President Trump went after the Georgia Governor Brian Kemp at the Atlanta rally. From what appeared to be ‘right out of the blue,’ he lambasted the governor, giving him no quarter for his failure to follow through on the vote count during the last presidential election.
You might think it is a problem for Trump to do that. Yet, he was not initiating a new front against the governor. He was not seeking revenge. He being a leader for the GOP and the Republicans across the country.
He recognized and pointed out indirectly the real problem the Republican Party
has had for years.
The Republican party fragments while the Democrat Party unifies. There is never a GOP unified voice like one that the Democrats are so good at. From right out of the blue the Democrats will use words like ‘gravitas’, ‘weird’ or ‘felon.’ For the casual news viewer the Democrats’ messaging gets through, makes their point, and is remembered by the listeners.
When the Governor Kemps of the country fragment and argue and fail to support their leadership when reasonable requests are made, the leadership’s messaging is destroyed and losses are eminent. Kemp’s failure to respond to a leader’s reasonable request fractured the party, fractured the messages and fractured
the GOP leadership.
Trump understands this fracturing. That is why his attack on Kemp.
Later, when the votes were recounted - without matching signatures, a difference of 12,284 votes were found to separate the final tallies. It does not bode well for the governor’s reputation. Correct recounts may have meant Trump won.
It may have looked like Trump is mired in the past election, but he is not. He is looking to the next one. The GOP culture of fragmentation must end at least through the election season if they want to save the country from those who want its destruction. “A house divided cannot stand.” The GOP must learn this – today.
Commitment to
the higher good of unity counts.
