Beating Republicans at Their Own Game: With Rachel Bitecofer

[@wendyperez8714]

I first saw Rachel on MSNBC years ago and have been fascinated by her ever since. I'm so glad she has a book out and I love the title!

[@luvrealdeal]

Same with me. Due to the area that I live in. I know that her input is right on the money. She was on Texas Paul this morning.

[@sharondymond]

In the immortal words of Stephanie Koff, "When they go low, bury them!"

[@4CardsMan]

It's like planting a tree. The best time was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.

[@DeniseSTEGALL-o5q]

Great show. Both are real on the facts of U. S. A. Political craziness

[@patriciajohnson8067]

Communication AND conversation are extremely attractive with Rachel and Michael. Michael, you get better like fine wine🍷. When you care about other people's culture it continues to make you look young and sexy. "The mind." Nevertheless, Ms. Rachel Bitecofer, I truly admire your opinion ♥️ very much.

[@sereion]

This woman is brilliant; the Democratic strategists and campaign advisor should listen to her.

[@cynthiahutchins5790]

The best revenge is to live happy.

[@marylesak8529]

Excellent discussion ❤

[@cassandraarmstrong6273]

Now which party is passing laws to come between women and their doctors, REPUBLICANS 😮

[@DebraBashawPelsma-bg7rt]

Right wing Christians males in the GQP want to kill women’s rights! Makes them feel like God. God finds them hateful!

[@StudioLB]

Great interview. Great conversation

[@JamaicaYam]

She’s my new FAV!! 😘 Awesome. Great information and analysis. 👩🏾‍💻

[@margieoneal3282]

I like what she was saying,she needs to pitch that to all the Democrats

[@victoriamoore380]

Just imagine if Republicans would work with the democrats 😳, Americans would be in a better place 🙄 😉 ❤

[@Sifaria]

PS, Neal Katyal has argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court. Give him his due as an experienced lawyer.

[@wendyperez8714]

Did somebody disrespect Neal? Say it isn't so! I must have missed... watched the entire episode and heard no reference to him whatsoever.

[@cclark1273]

I love you Michael Steele, and I'm so glad I found your videos. Even though you are a republican, LOL. Just kidding.

[@claudiawesselmann2398]

Reinhard Bütikofer was a Politian of the Green Party in Germany. Maybe there are some Ancestryfindings?

[@sharondymond]

Make Rachel DNC Chairman.

[@krissipowell9358]

Have you considered word as education? I practice freely

Tax the rich.. Free, Fact Checked Informative Campaign Debates. Equal senators per population.

[@DavidStuart-o4m]

Michael I cannot understand vhy you join the Republican party you have do much to offer and as a member of the Democratic you would have been welcomed with open arms and would be contributing in a big way

[@BartWilliams-k4j]

The new msn dnc network same ole shit just More lies Trump 2024 and 2028

[@gregorybarnes5271]

Rachel is awesome and I hope that President Biden will get her as a strategist/advisor to his re-election campaign.

[@jeanhendersonharley3228]

Definately

[@chynnadawl9022]

Rachel is the most brilliant voice for democracy out there!

[@michelelearner297]

Now the GOP is openly, literally between you and your doctor. This ad was spot on: a doctor told a distraught couple who had just gotten horrible news about their fetus, "There's only one person who can make this decision... [they start to nod]... and that's Greg." Then he calls Greg [Abbott] on the phone.

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Totally disgusting...how could anyone do that to other people? You would think that they must realize that sooner or later, they, or someone they love, are going to be in that situation, too.

[@janetbtaylor6160]

Love Rachel!! She speaks so much truth and I hope, HOPE the Dems are listening to her and utilizing her wisdom and insights!

[@maryannlorette-rust5352]

lifetime independent here, repubs have lost me forever!

[@kathryncronkrite8027]

Same here. Lifetime indie. Switched last year to Dem and working on petition drives and getting out the vote.

[@victorzarenin9286]

I think there's a very important point to be made here in regards to what Michael said about Democrats not going so hard on negative partisanship and still attempting bipartisanship. He said "Democrats are playing checkers while Republicans are playing 4d chess." The point he's making is pretty obvious; Republicans are playing a more advanced game than Democrats are. I think this is the clearest sign of the remnants of old Republican thinking that he still has, and of the fundamental difference between the parties. The reason Democrats aren't playing a more advanced game is because, to them, this ISN'T a game. Many Democrats are actually sincere in their beliefs, they have policy goals that they want to achieve to help people, and they have evidence based reasons for believing in those policies. For Republicans none of that matters. To them, it really is just a game. It's all about power and winning, and how you do that doesn't matter. You can except lying and hypocrisy and racism and even treason if it means you win. And that's the attitude that produced Trump. The Republican party has been off the rails for a long time.

[@O_U_No_It_2]

Well said IMHO. _💙🌊_

[@eduardocontreras6557]

I've always said the Dems need to be as ruthless as the gQp. in short, always be 2 step ahead of your advisory!

[@kathryncronkrite8027]

​@@eduardocontreras6557-YES, fight fire with fire!

[@luvrealdeal]

Very well stated and so true. The GQP is a cult. Cultists are extremely driven to legitimize their insanity. It is easy for them to form in groups and attempt to drive home their bogus narratives to help their cult leader. Nazis fell into the same trap.

[@coreyham3753]

@@eduardocontreras6557 The democrats have nobody to blame but themselves for not dominating elections. They simply refuse to understand the electoral game and use the many significant advantages they have to dominate. Please ... with an 8 million plus popular vote advantage ... and they still refuse to use that massive advantage where it would make a difference. To me, that is inept business and political leadership. Now if the democrats had a superstar businessman and strategist like a Mike Bloomberg running their operations, instead of inept political operatives, then they probably could dominate. For example, why waste hundreds of millions or billions on essentially useless advertising? Why not use those resources wisely where they could really make a difference. It is just a fact that some red states and districts are won by relatively small numbers of votes. A well run and smart democratic party would use their massive number of "excess votes" to make sure those close electoral areas were won by democrats and not by republicans. Surely that is not rocket science to see that. For example Boebert won by something like only 500 votes in her district. Just not that difficult to overcome with smart and effective leadership and targeted plans and resources. What would happen if the democrats were able to turn just a couple of small red states at all levels .. presidential, senator, congress, governor, etc? They would dominate almost indefinitely then. So isn't the question then ..... how can the democrats "legally parachute" some of their excess voters into some of these close districts and a few states? Surely a smart operator, like a Bloomberg, could figure out how to do that. Perhaps you enlist some wealthy democrats to legally become residents of that area Perhaps you offer scholarships to democratic students to go to college in those districts. Where there is recognition and the will .... superior leadership finds the way. Apparently that does not exist in the democratic party. Instead they just keep on with the same old tired and failed political election strategies......and as such they have only themselves to blame.

[@braddavid902]

This woman is very personable. Great interview Michael

[@judym2676]

I’ve never heard of Rachel but OH MY! Such an interesting and informative interview. Thanks for this, Michael. Gonna change my FB profile to Freedom vs Fascism-2024!

[@nancybeckett2136]

She had a guest spot on Bill Marr predicting trump wouldn't beat Biden in 2020. Catch it in KZbin

[@luvrealdeal]

Cheers sir! Am new subscriber. I appreciate your defense of President Biden today. I’m sure that you realized that the tRumper special prosecutor took an opportunity to throw in a bone for trump. Am glad I found your channel. I was searching for Dr. Bitecofer. She is awesome too.

Ill have to follow her…thats going to make me a better tribe citizen

The American President (& all Govt.) should be held up as an example to the rule of law, not the exception to them. #BidenHarris *Vote BLUE* _💙🌊🏛️_

[@jbarson6671]

The problem is the Democrats won't take any advice on how to improve their messaging. I don't know what's wrong with them.

[@krissipowell9358]

If you don't know what word should you speak?

[@krissipowell9358]

Introduce me to them and provide a list

[@nancyh.5950]

I agree, and wish Joe Biden would hire a Public Relations firm. So many good things this administration has done, yet no one knows about them. I bring them up with my conservative friends and they just don't believe it. They do, however, remember Fox News talking points very well.

[@courtneybrubaker9738]

Too gentile and passive.

[@MaryRoseLaughing]

The Republican and Democratic parties, or, to be more exact, the Republican-Democratic party, represent the capitalist class in the class struggle. They are the political wings of the capitalist system and such differences as arise between them relate to spoils and not to principles. - E. V. Debs

I love me some Rachel 🥰 first time I heard her was on the Tony Michael's podcast. She rocks 💙 💙 she has helped me understand alot about how politics work. This lady is super smart and funny. She definitely knows her shyt.

Good afternoon from the glorious SF Bay Area. WOW!!!! I haven't seen Rachel in ages and to see her with you, Michael, is a great day after my birthday present. You two have lifted my sagging spirits with a bit of hope. Love you.

Thanks Rachel and Michael. We need your voices during these difficult times for our country.

the strategy that Rachel is advocating is the same tactics any successfull salespeople employ

Great show. Will check out her book😊

Democrats need to talk to Makenzie Scott.

[@peterduvall215]

First, Michael Steele will appreciate that I am probably the only person who has ever failed a political science class at Prince Georges' Community College. That puts me in a great position to say that Rachel Bitecofer is saying exactly what I have been telling Democrats and getting zero traction. Take it from me, her ideas are brilliant!

[@marylesak8529]

Love Rachel ❤

[@missdollydawg2615]

Success and Winning...thanks Steele...Vote Blue away from Chaos up and down...

Thank you Rachel… brilliant as ever… thank you for helping to keep democracy on the agenda.

[@BryantPP]

I love her, she's a breath of fresh air, always entertained AND informed when I listen to her. BTW what a nightmare having your algorithm consisting of Kardashians and Tom Brady sounds like, I literally can't imagine a media diet like that *Shudders*

[@andreamiller9740]

Thank you

[@sandymedeiros8414]

[@talkndrideas]

'right?' at the end of sentences is so annoying. Stop doing it and just say your statement! Thank you.

It's easy. If there's a baby we buy diapers

[@courtneybrubaker9738]

How do we get her working on the Biden campaign?

Neal a citizen isn't the source of critique. Can this format teach?

[@krissipowell9358]

Math and ass is prison and you spoke

[@loram.2145]

Just finished her book. Really outstanding. Thank you rachel.

[@krissipowell9358]

Michael Steele it was prison where a word got in or got some ass.

[@x86ed]

Read through the whole book in about 3 days it was great!

Please read the Communist Manifesto. It says all you need to know about which party is intentionally tearing down societal norms….and changing language. Up to you, read it or don’t…at your peril.

[@krissipowell9358]

Dems are scary,ie, how can you imagine that an Officer speaks with me. For me.

[@AlvinHackerman]

DON'T GET ME WRONG I LISTEN TO YOU YOUR GUESTS AND THE POLITICAL DIALOGUE BUT MOSTLY I STILL WANT TO TRY TO RECRUIT YOU TO BE A FULL FLEDGED DEMOCRAT I KNOW AFTER THIS TRUMP/MAGA CULT STUFF IS FINALLY BEHIND US YOU MIGHT TRY TO RESTART THE GOP BUT EVEN SO IT WOULD WORK FOR THE MASSES NOT JUST A PARTY POWER TRIP HOW ABOUT WE BOTH OF US JUST MAKE AMERICA THE BEST IT CAN BE. TOGETHER!
