Next year’s midterm elections already have Democrats dreaming of winning a lot more than the two-dozen seats they need to re-take the House majority.

(snip)

And as Democrats talk about an electoral “battlefield,” they are placing new emphasis on recruiting candidates who actually have served on a real one: veterans.

They couldn’t win after giving Ossoff nearly $30 million dollars but now they’re going to target eighty districts? Pull the other one, it has bells on it.

When are they officially changing their name to the ISIS-Communist-Fascist Party ?

Let no statue be left standing, or any person to the right of Stalin be left breathing.

"Veterans don’t vote for democrats"

Nor should they. Veterans dying waiting to get treatment at VA hospitals can never be forgiven and should forever be the dead chicken around the neck of the Dogacrat Party.

To Democrats the concepts of freedom and liberty mean the freedom to liberate as much money from taxpayers as possible and freedom to squander it without oversight.

There is an article in the news that DNC fundraising is down. I don’t wonder. DWS was bad enough, and then they put a foul mouthed Hispanic in charge.

Tough to tell what will happen in the House, with 435 seats up for grabs, but given the facts that the Dems fundraising has crashed, that they haven't won a single "Trump referendum election" yet, and that their current violent overreach with the AntiFa and the statues is not going to go over well with the Undecideds, I would have to think (and hope) that the MSM's grotesque bias cannot deliver 80 new seats to the Dems.

For the Senate: If the Hillary v Trump map doesn't change at all, then the Dems gain Nevada's seat... and lose 11 other seats... making it 62-38, giving the (inept and back-stabbing) GOP a filibuster-proof majority.

Hopefully the majority of the 10 new faces will be trying to help MAGA. It is OUR job to make sure that the right folks win in the Primaries coming up. Let's get to work!!

The price of votes goes up every year.

I can’t imagine why any veteran would be a Democrat.

Hey, Paul Ryan—the face of Republicans in the House—is no prize, either.

A significant number of Black, Hispanic and non-racist white veterans vote. Minority veterans are more highly respected in their communities than white veterans in a white community. That means the typical minority veteran influences more votes than the typical white veteran.

Comments like the top line drive good veterans into the Democrats arms. Many of them

I did not realize that minority veterans are more respected than white. Of course, there are many more white veterans, so I guess that would be true. But there are also many white liberals that hate the US, so naturally they would hate the military.

Ryan is doing his best to ensure that the Dems win enough seats.

The best of two bad choices just doesn’t resonate anymore with much of the Republican’s base. Just look at McConnell’s approval rating of 18% in KY.
