1) Begin marginalizing Trump. Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia gubernatorial race while keeping Trump at arm's distance. This is the strategy other candidates must follow. Bringing Trump into the picture instantly ratchets up the turmoil while also providing red meat for the MSM to campaign for their candidate.

2) Find the person who will be the clear front runner for the candidacy in 2024. They cannot allow Trump to overshadow the party. I find it highly doubtful that Trump will agree to not run because his ego won't allow it, so begin promoting candidates who are strong but not Trump-centric.

3) For the love of all that is holy, get over the stolen election mantra. It's over. It's done. Nothing will change. Continually banging that drum serves no purpose but to display a sore loser attitude. No candidate can benefit from that. As we can see from the current leftist legislation, they'll stop at nothing to make it as easy as possible to cheat. That's not exactly breaking news. Start the groundwork now to ensure strong oversight of the next election.
