- Imagine being a Republican elected to Congress in 1978 during Jimmy Carter's presidency
- The Republican caucus was full of well-intentioned but beaten-down members who had been in the minority too long
- Newt Gingrich faced repeated setbacks in trying to gain a majority in Congress
- Despite election losses in 1980, 1982, and 1984, Gingrich and his allies chose a path of cheerful persistence
- Gingrich wrote in "The Making of a Majority" that cheerful persistence was a survival skill
- They worked cheerfully every day to accomplish what they could and adjusted when faced with failures
- In today's shifting political landscape, the lesson remains: succeed by cheerfully persisting, shaking off losses, and focusing on what we can control
- Our strength lies in our ability to adapt, fight, and cheerfully persist – this is our Winning Edge

Winning Edge gives you the tools you need to lead and influence in the political and policy arenas. Every other week, Winning Edge releases short (approximately 5-minute) spots—or “snacks”—focused on one of four areas: fundraising, media, policy, or persuasion.
