Republican National Committeewoman for the state of Virginia, Patti Lyman, on Saturday’s WarRoom, emphasized the crucial need for Republican unity of efforts and targeted voter engagement as the presidential election approaches. According to Lyman, rallying support for President Trump requires enthusiasm and strategic communication about his presidency’s benefits.
During her segment, she emphasized that while polls are favorable, high energy and enthusiasm are crucial, quoting Father Frank Pavone’s impactful metaphor:
"The house is on fire. We have a choice between the people starting the fire or the ones who are going to put it out.”
Lyman’s call to action focused on mobilizing the Republican base by emphasizing Trump’s core strengths and achievements. She stressed that simplicity is key for many voters, particularly those not deeply invested in political intricacies.
She remarked, "We have to remember too, there’s lots of different reasons for people to want to vote for Donald Trump. It might not be the same reasons as me, I have to find out what they care about and focus on that.”
This approach, which is highly successful for Trump’s opponents, involves tailoring messages to individual concerns related to economic policies, national security, or personal freedoms.
Lyman admitted that the dreaded call for “unity” meant that people would be voting alongside people they didn’t necessarily like or want to be friends with- and that is alright to do, she told WarRoom host Dave Brat, the focus needed to shift for many people to winning in November and not winning a personal fight.
Lyman highlighted the need for active participation from all Republicans. "There is not one person that cannot contribute something extremely valuable to this campaign,” she asserted. This inclusive call for engagement encourages every supporter to leverage their networks and influence to amplify Trump’s message.
The WarRoom discussion also touched on overcoming internal party divisions and focusing on shared goals. Lyman emphasized that the mission is not about personal or ideological alignment but about supporting Trump’s presidency.
"It’s not horizontal approach to messaging. It’s vertical. Who do folks reach out to? What’s the most effective organizations?” she said.
This is Lyman’s unity- which promotes messaging and prioritizing the common objective of electing Trump over dwelling on individual differences within the party.
Lyman recommended organizations like Turning Point Action to enhance voter outreach, facilitating participation nationwide.
She praised Turning Point’s integrity and alignment with Trump’s agenda, noting, "They will put you to work and my experience with that they got the utmost integrity and they are 100 Trump.”
Lyman’s message is necessary for people to spread: for Trump’s campaign to succeed, Republicans must unify their efforts around compelling reasons to support him and actively engage in spreading his message.
Sort of like how Ron DeSantis endorsed Trump- remember?
By focusing on key issues and leveraging personal connections, the GOP can effectively rally voters and secure a successful outcome in the upcoming election.

You are correct, but hopeless. If you look at the swelling of audience population numbers because a well known entertainer is promised to perform at a political gathering, you should accept the fact that there are people, apparently lots of people, don’t know nor care about about anything but self distraction by pampering. It is very difficult to get most people to think, no matter how simply any process designed to cause thinking on an individual basis is distributed. Most people see their reality as a series of images coupled with short memes, and if the mems rhyme they increase the impact. That is how most people go thru life, by “feel” rather than “sight”.
But all that aside, no matter how simple your message, no matter the level that you reach the people, you ain’t even gotten close to how we are going to lose: they will unabashedly, self destructively cheat. And that is why you need to get ready to lose, and lose it all. You will eat bugs, you will own nothing, and you will like it, or you will be exterminated.
Hi Roscoe- I totally understand your cynicism. I get it. It is frustrating to see how many US Citizens simply do not care about the loss of their rights, because they appear to not even understand how special our citizenship is. BUT hopeless- I am not. 🙂 Determined I am. I decided when I was about 18 that I would be spending my life to try to move that needle. SO- here I am. You make good points. I don’t disagree with you- I just decided to do what I can do to show people that their citizenship is worth fighting for- and I want people to see that we dont even have to fight that much- IF we go vote and stay vigilant over what we have. I am not going to give in to the power against our freedoms- I chose to stay focused on what we CAN do. 🙂 I hope you will turn your energy in the same direction and join me. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Trump and his minions need a laser focus on the illegal alien invasion, fentanyl deaths, US as the world leader in human trafficking, inflation, crime and failure to prosecute crime, the Afghanistan debacle, impending war with China and Iran and ongoing Ukrainian War and War with Hamas and the failing education system.
Let allies in the public eye, including on-line, beat the drums about the corruption and immorality of the loony left. No one cares if Heels-up Harris is black or Indian or her hubbie has a love-child with his kid’s nanny or Waltz lied about getting out of going to war. All of America wants to get out of going to war.
Hi Jack. Thanks for the great post! Totally. I agree.
