On the eve of the midterms, President Donald Trump’s approval is falling, young voters are energized, and Republicans look poised to lose their House majority.
It’s enough to make Democrats nervous, miserable wrecks.
Haunted by memories of 2016, liberals around the country are riven with anxiety in the campaign’s homestretch. They’re suspicious of favorable polls and making election night contingency plans in case their worst fears come true. Some report literal nightmares about a Democratic wipeout.
“We're kind of just in the bed-wetting phase now," said Democratic pollster John Anzalone, a Hillary Clinton campaign alumnus who spent election night 2016 in Clinton’s Manhattan war room.
Two years later, even thinking about the prospect of a repeat of that night’s letdown is still too much for many Democrats to bear.
“Stop it!” shouted Nadeam Elshami, a former chief of staff to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, when asked about that possibility. To be fair, the possibility has literally haunted his dreams.

They love gerrymandering when it favors their side of the Uniparty.

The Democrats still do not understand the psychological principles behind “projection”.
Gaslighting only works when the person at whom it is directed does not fall in a weeping, blubbering fit and meekly accepts the assessment being made by the person or persons harassing him (or her).

To avoid the trauma of encountering Trump voters at the polls, aren’t democrats being advised to vote on Wednesday of this week, while the republicans all vote on Tuesday?

The Rats admit they are in a bed-wetting “phase” right now.
Actually, they’ve been urinating and defecating in their beds ever since Trump was elected POTUS.
LMAO!!! MAGA!!!!!

They will revert to form and go lynch some poor black guy.
A loan of a gun and provide a single bullet for free should work.
