Expect all hell to break loose within the Democrat party, with powerful key factions at each others’ throats. Voters in multiple states repudiated the radical wing of the Democrat party that had seized control of the party’s agenda.
Republicans swept the statewide offices in Virginia, a state that had recently tantalized Democrat hopes of national dominance by swinging from red to purple to blue. Even if Phil Murphy ends up winning the governorship of New Jersey as troves of mail-in ballots are added to the totals when counting resumes in the morning (a story replicating what happened in some swing states in 2020), the message is clear: the public does not want to enact the vision of the Squad as our new reality.
Minneapolis voters rejected replacement of the city’s police department with a social worker-laden Department of Public Safety by 12 point margin. This in a city that has twice elected radical Ilhan Omar. Buffalo, NY voters corrected their mistake in a low turnout primary election that nominated radical socialist India Walton as the Democrat candidate for mayor, and wrote-in the name of incumbent Mayor Byron Brown by a large margin. Voters do not want the radical agenda enacted.
The prospects for the Democrats’ Build Back Bankrupt bill ever becoming law just became vanishingly small. As Charles C.W. Cooke asks the right questions:
Why on earth would Senators Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Maggie Hassan, and Catherine Cortez Masto continue to acquiesce with their party’s extraordinarily foolish attempt to shove a set of FDR-sized spending programs through a 50–50 Senate? Such as: Why on earth would a swathe of moderate House Democrats agree to go along with it, when, by all appearances, they are already going to have their work cut out for them next year? (snip)

I hope they kill each other.
Have Democrats learned a lesson or will they go back Jack and Do it Again?
The Media will continue to carry water for Biden and Harris.
Woke is what they do. Watch the commercials on T.V.
A random Nascar wreck propels an underdog to a victory and a conservative battle cry is born.
Based on history, the radicals Marxist in the Dem party are going to say they lost for moving too slowly.
They are going to blame not passing Bare Shelves Biden’s big spending bills as the cause for them losing the elections
Twice
Every time the Dems lose their radical Marxist wing blame moving too slowly for the failure. Since they are currently in the ascendency in the Demo party, they are going back Jack.
Exactly, that is what they will do.
When Dems lose, heads roll, tempers fly off the handle, people are threatened, fired, destroyed, thrown under the bus and ridiculed. That’s the Dem temperament. Out of control
Democrats will go back Jack.
Democrats have some flaws in their thinking. Among them:
1. They think they are smarter than everyone else. They think some people vote Republican out of ignorance of how great liberalism is.
2. They think that they lose some elections because their candidates just weren’t liberal enough. Because with a mindset that liberalism is superior, they feel that some candidates don’t push liberalism enough in campaigns for office.
3. They think they lose some elections and fail to pass favored legislation, because they just haven’t explained well enough the joys of liberal policies to the American people. Obama once said his major weakness was that he just didn’t explain his policies such as Obamacare to people, and that people just didn’t understand how wonderful his policies were.
Exactly right.
The thing is McAuliffe was a Clinton guy. This is probably the end of the Clinton influence in the party. And the fact is, the Clinton faction was the more “center” faction of the party. Now the party will go even further to the Left.
This very thing happened last night before the call in VA. I accidentally tuned into Fox News with Baer and McCallum and there was some Democrat “activist” spewing that the problem was the dims just didn’t adequately explain their stupid (my term) vision well enough and that is was time for the party to double-down publicly and push harder.
Yeah, that’ll work....
RE: Now the party will go even further to the Left.
McAuliffe said that parents don’t have a say in their children’s education and the government run school boards should not be questioned. How much more left can you go than that?
Doesn’t matter. Commie-bilge had saturated the media since “Uncle Walter” closed his nightly Vietnam War propaganda presentation with “and that’s the way it was.” Americans spoke convincingly yesterday, and the majority (even the wimps offended by “mean” tweets) ain’t buying the garbage.
There may be a phenomena occurring that has long term cultural significance. There is coming to the forefront black conservative leaders such as Senator Scott, Georgia US Senate candidate Hershel Walker, Virginia Lt. Governor elect Sears and others who are achieving office and power. It reflects a deep resentment among many blacks regarding the real harm that patronizing, socialist policies have done to their community. It is respectable, especially in the South for blacks to identify and advocate as Republicans on their own terms. Worth watching. The current core political dynamic may be changing since the phenomena also seems to be occurring within the Hispanic community.
However bad it is…it won’t be bad enough…
The real lesson is for the Republicans to have their people at every single precinct all day on election day in every state. Additionally, they should have people at every ballot box prior to the election. These people should include lawyers who understand voting laws and are willing to prosecute.
