I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on past and present leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Wheaton Park District. I would focus on past and present conservative leaders. I would focus on past and present religious leaders. I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their pollsters, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.)

According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.

— It Isn’t That Easy to Just Give People What They Want – Thomas B. Edsall (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to get votes from members of Group A, the Democrat Party uses government to give members of Group A preference over members of Group B.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the 20-year period from 1970 to 1990, whites, especially those without college degrees, defected en masse from the Democratic Party. In those years, the percentage of white working class voters who identified with the Democratic Party fell to 40 percent from 60, Lane Kenworthy, a sociologist at the University of California-San Diego, wrote in “The Democrats and Working-Class Whites.” Now, three decades later, the Democratic Party continues to struggle to maintain not just a biracial but a multiracial and multiethnic coalition — keeping in mind that Democrats have not won a majority of white voters in a presidential election since Lyndon Johnson’s landslide victory in 1964.)
