Sounds good, but you'll have to have a winning platform. This last election, you had no platform at all. It was just pledging fealty to trump and whatever he may decide is his whim of the moment.

If you have an appealing platform, you win. Otherwise, your only chance to win is by disenfranchising voters who may not like your platform (assuming you have one) by gerrymandering and voter suppression. So far, it seems, all of your efforts are toward the latter.
