  • The WallBuilders Show - Why The GOP Is Holding A Midterm Convention

    A midterm convention for Republicans has basically never happened, so when the RNC sets one in Dallas and schedules it right against NFL opening games, the obvious question is: why do it at all? We walk through what the cameras might miss, including why limited national TV coverage may be less of a problem and more of a clue. If you’re expecting a classic convention with one big theme, you’re going to be surprised by what this format signals about modern campaigning.

    We break down the strategy behind 109 speakers, dozens of rapid-fire topics, and a schedule that feels more like a content studio than a prime-time broadcast. The goal looks like building a massive library of short, reusable sound bites that can be targeted into battleground House and Senate races based on the issues voters actually care about, from tax relief and healthcare affordability to election integrity and border security. We also talk candidly about the convention’s fundraising engine and why raising money fast can matter as campaigns try to cut through noise and motivate turnout.

    Then we zoom out to the bigger question of how Christians should evaluate candidates in a heated culture moment. We challenge the “he seems nice” standard and focus on policy outcomes, moral clarity, and stewardship at the ballot box. We close with a practical reminder that protects your vote: check your voter registration and keep your information current to avoid a provisional ballot and extra handling. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show and get equipped—what do you think the RNC’s real endgame is here?
