Ep. 2757 Will the Billionaires Unseat Massie? Cliff Maloney's Strategies for Election Victories

In this episode of The Tom Woods Show, host Tom Woods welcomes Cliff Maloney, CEO of Citizens Alliance and author of the new book 'Run Right: A Complete Election Playbook to Win.' Maloney shares his no-nonsense, data-driven approach to electoral success, emphasizing that winning isn't just about having good ideas—it's about executing the right strategies. He breaks down the 18-step framework from his book, highlighting the critical importance of door-knocking, voter targeting, fundraising, media strategy, and opponent research. Maloney stresses that most political campaigns fail not due to ideology, but because they neglect the 'blocking and tackling' of politics: consistent, face-to-face engagement, especially in long election seasons. He reveals how the left has long invested in paid door-knocking, while the right has lagged—until now. The episode centers on the high-stakes Kentucky congressional primary race between Thomas Massey and a billionaire-backed opponent, where Maloney is leading an independent expenditure to counter negative messaging. He argues that Massey’s authenticity, conservative record, and Trump alignment make him a vital figure for the liberty movement, and urges listeners to support him through DoorsWinWars.com. The conversation underscores that political victory requires discipline, pragmatism, and a willingness to do the unglamorous work that actually moves votes.
