"The Democrats are betting on failure.”
That’s how National Review’s Noah Rothman characterizes the Democratic Party’s response to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on the terrorist regime that controls Iran.
But Rothman has it only half right. Democrats aren’t just betting on failure in Iran. They are trying to engineer it. And not just in Iran, but at home as well, where they are actively trying to undermine the economy.
Because, you see, the midterms are coming up, and to Democrats, what matters isn’t the well-being of Americans or ridding the world of its chief terrorist threat. The only thing that matters is winning elections.
While Ayatollah Khamenei’s body was still warm, Democrats were pushing a War Powers Resolution that would have blocked President Donald Trump’s ability to carry out any further attacks against Iran without first getting congressional approval.
It wasn’t intended to succeed, only to sow division in the country.
Now Democrats are looking to deny the administration funds to continue to prosecute the war.
“We have the power of the purse,” said Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum, who is the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.
Not to be outdone, Gavin Newsom, the California governor drooling over the prospect of being the next president, is now calling on the U.S. to end its support of Israel.
“It breaks my heart because the current leadership in Israel is walking us down that path, where I don’t think you have a choice but that consideration,” said Newsom.
By immediately attacking the war, calling it a “war of choice,” suggesting, as Newsom did, that we are being manipulated into war by Israel, that will be costly to Americans, that Trump should focus on “affordability,” and so on.
The constant refrain of attacks hasn’t stopped Trump, but has managed to dampen public support, which now sits at 43% and quite possibly is helping to steel the Iranian government’s resolve.
The only Democrat to buck his party has been Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who recently pointed out that “Every member in the U.S. Senate agrees we cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. I’m baffled why so many are unwilling to support the only action to achieve that.”
So, the Democrats’ strategy is to hope for failure, bet that the region erupts in chaos, even if it means more American lives are lost, all to drive down Trump’s popularity.
When not sowing discord about the war, Democrats are actively trying to talk down the economy and doing whatever they can to make their dire predictions come true.
As Reuters noted, the 43-day government shutdown that Democrats engineered last fall shaved 1.15 percentage points of the nation’s GDP in the fourth quarter.
When the February jobs numbers came out last Friday, showing an unexpected drop of 92,000, Democrats seized on it to predict economic calamity.
“The warning signs about this economy have been flashing for months,” said Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass, who is the ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee. He said Trump has “left families with an economy limping as costs soared and growth weakened.”
None of that is true. Inflation has been well below the Biden years for Trump’s entire second term. Real wages are up. Until the shutdown took a bite out of the GDP, the previous two quarters came in “unexpectedly” strong.
Don’t expect media “fact-checkers” to point any of this out. But the constant bleating about economic turmoil can affect consumer confidence, which in turn can bring about the results Democrats are predicting.
Rooting for failure so they can seize power. That’s what today’s Democrats are all about.

Crime, chaos and failure.
Like the traitors they are!
This is about PERMANENT progressive power by orchestrating all failures themselves and blaming it on the President when they used the power of the purse to fail. We saw this in Vietnam when they singlehandedly gave the nation to Communists.
Nothing matters to Dems more than regaining power.
They are a threat to “our democracy”.
It pays better for you, your NFP'S, friends, and relatives, causes reduced liberties, reduced expectations of the governed, and grows your budgets much faster.
It's a Cloward-Piven enhancer.
So do a large number of Freepers.
Dems went against the US. when they opened the borders and initiated the destruction of America. Dem voters don’t realize what their party did to them to this day.
Isn't that also called "selling short" ?
And they will do their BEST to frame it as a failure regardless of the outcome.
Nothing would make the democrats happier than failure in Iran—as they are doing their best to give psychological support and ‘aid and comfort’ to the IRGC.
Like a cancer, year on year the Democrats do more harm BY FAR to America than China, Russia, North Korea or Iran combined.
*********************************
The Communist Party USA was never fully outlawed, but it was subjected to severe legal restrictions under the Communist Control Act of 1954.
The Act declared the Communist Party an “instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government” and denied it the “rights, privileges, and immunities of a legal body,” effectively barring it from legal standing, including appearing on ballots, suing in court, or entering contracts.
*********************************
It’s time to do the same thing to the Democratic Party.
Crime, chaos and failure.
That would make a great campaign commercial against the DNC. Images of criminals who have been set free, homeless encampments, billions of dollars stolen from the taxpayers all with the words “crime, chaos and failure” in the background.
The best case scenario out of this war is being able to leave with existing government in place. And, if that ends up being the case, I'd expect the Iranians to seek a NATO-like defensive alliance with China and Russia.
The worst case scenarios are the destruction of our and the world economy or being forced to capitulate to Iran's demands to end the war.
The worst case is that people like you place your own narrowminded goals ahead of America.
“..It’s time to do the same thing to the Democratic Party....”
Exactly.
Tooay’s so-called “Democratic Party” is now made up of those same communist types from 1954, but they’re much worse today.
The old RAT party died a long time ago. These communists have seconded the name and usurped authority within what was left of the old RAT party. Hoodwinking millions of former democrats and Americans that would otherwise never support them...that’s why they need voter fraud and illegal alien voters to win. In essence, the old Communist Party, USA is now....wait for it....today’s “Democratic Party”...
And these vile, godless basstids are hellbent on destroying the USA as we know it at any cost. They may have been born here, but they’re no more “American” than China’s Xi. Their fricken’ AWFLs are the absoluet worst. AWFLs have done more harm to the USA than any foreign entity ever has.
It’s waaaaayyyy past time to bring this BS to an end.
That’s because demonrat voters are both naive and willfully ignorant.
I couldn’t agree more.
The Democrats are in dire need of a shrink they becoming dangerous to themselves.
