Sometimes it is useful to stop a moment and consider how your enemies think. We make fun of how insane they are on a regular basis but consider for a moment how they appeal to their voters. What themes and messages do they think resonate?
I don't know why, but somehow the DCCC got my phone number and thought I was a good target for fundraising. So I received their pitch to raise money for congressional campaigns. This is an interesting look into what they consider to be winning messages. President Barack Obama just broke his silence and called on EVERY Democrat to step up to PROTECT our once-in-a-lifetime Majorities. If just 4,000 grassroots Democrats answer Barack's powerful calls, we could CLINCH our can't-miss midnight goal and strengthen our efforts to defeat EVERY Republican who threatens our Democrats. Will you rush $20 to the DCCC to expand our House Majority?
The last time Republicans held power...
�They PUSHED tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy,
�They tried to REPEAL the Affordable Care Act,
�And they INCITED a deadly insurrection at our nation's Capitol.
We can't let them ever hold the Majority again.
And when Barack personally calls us to step up - we wouldn't dare let him down.
Can we count on you to chip in $20 to elect House Democrats and hand Trump's House Republicans a STUNNING rebuke?
Thanks, DCCC
I have a few observations.
First notice who they believe is the major figure who will appeal to their base. It isn't Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. It is Barack Obama. He has been out of office for 5 years, and he is the only player on the field that has any pull with the Democrat base. This would be like using George Bush to campaign in 2013. The Democrats have a problem with viable figures in national politics, since they were wiped out at the state level in 2012. After Obama, there is no one to turn to. Every other national level politician, including the sitting president, is unable to appeal to anyone enough to raise a lousy $20.
The issues they use in their pitch are pretty weak. Tax cuts for the rich, repeal Obamacare, and January 6th. Those three barely register with the public as an issue of any importance. They don't even appeal to Climate Change as an issue, where they could easily blame Republicans after Trump withdrew from the Paris Accords. The rich who got tax cuts are almost all Democrats anyway, Obamacare hasn't seen an attempt at reform in 4 years, and January 6th is an inside the beltway shibboleth that doesn't resonate in the rest of the country.
Finally, Trump continues to live rent free in Democrat heads. It isn't House Republicans; it is TRUMP'S House Republicans. How many decades do the Democrats keep running against Trump? Over a year after the election, and Democrats still can't motive anyone to vote for them. They can only appeal to Not Republican and Not Trump. Regardless of whether or not you think Trump should be the nominee in 2024, one thing he still brings to the table is a large block of voters who will cast an affirmative vote for the man.
Former President Barack Obama said he has long wanted to run the country again via a “front man” in the White House.
The moment: “The Late Show Host” Stephen Colbert asked Obama in an interview that aired Monday whether he ever pines to return to power.
“Did you miss you? Did you ever look at something going on in the news and go, ‘You know what this situation needs? Barack Obama,'” wondered Colbert, a prominent critic of President Donald Trump.
Obama, laughing, replied: “I’ve said this before, people would ask me, ‘Knowing what you know now, do you wish you had a third term?’”
“And I used to say, ‘You know what, if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or a front woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement with my sweats looking through the stuff, and I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I would be fine with that,'” he said.
Obama’s appearance on CBS’s “The Late Show” was part of a media tour to promote “A Promised Land,” his third book about himself.
The 768-page post-presidential memoir is to be the first of a two-volume series.
The stand-in: In an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt on Tuesday, Joe Biden rejected speculation that his presidency would be a continuation of Obama’s.
“This is not a third Obama term,” said Biden, Obama’s vice president. “We face a totally different world than we faced in the Obama-Biden administration.”

All the Democrats vote - they still lose. More people are going GOP every day. Thank you, Mr Biden!
He sounds frightened.
He does this periodically when he sees the dems are going down shi* creek.
He’s always had such strong coattails. Personally electorally successful, but presiding over the demolition of rat power nationwide. He should be frightened. He cant rally the idiot base
STFU Barry and go away. Spending a little time trying to GROW UP.
The dems will cheat evermore so blatantly as they claim the deck is stacked against them...this claim will make it ever so more virtuous to do so.
And of course, our side will do nothing about it except lose elections, as we allow the media to drive the narrative without consequence.
We should be on the front lawn of every media outlet in the country with our rifles in hand.
Should, should, should.
Forever.
And why? To keep Obamacare? Does anybody really care about Obamacare? Other than Obama?
Is Obama a communist?
Braaaap Oblabya weighs in....
Typical Democrats, appealing to fear, and hoping the people don’t notice the disaster in from of them created by their own party.
One man, one vote, one time. That’s the Socialist model.
The dirty little secret here is that this has NOTHING to do with money. The 'Rats don't need the $20, or anything for that matter. They currently control printing of money, and print what ever they need.
The reason that they ask for fiat money that they can print any amount of, is that it engages the giver. Once someone forks over $'s, they have a vested interest, will tend to always vote 'Rat, and will tend to work for 'Rats and support 'Rat causes.
If you’re a Dem candidate for anything, you would be wise to refuse any endorsement from the jug-eared jackass.
There’s a good reason the Obamas never left DC. They even let ValJar live with them for a while. He’s one of the puppet masters pulling Joes strings.
8 long miserable years under that marxist was enough! Don’t need to hear anything else he has to say.

“We can’t let them ever hold the Majority again.”
This has been their modus operendi since 2009.
But unfortunately for them, the people thought differently and one by one took away their institutions, first the House in 2010, then the Senate in 2014, then the presidency in 2016, then the Supreme Court in 2020.
They got power again but are just holding on by the tips of their fingers.
A wipeout is again coming.
