'Everything is at stake': Democrats raise millions to win back state offices lost under Obama
Washington Examiner ^ | 08-20-19 | Tim Pearce

Democrats are building a multimillion-dollar machine to focus on winning back state offices and legislatures lost under former President Barack Obama. Some of the Democratic Party's wealthiest backers have joined the effort, according to the Associated Press. Billionaires George Soros, Donald Sussman, and Fred Eychaner have together contributed at least $15 million. The Tea Party wave of 2010 installed six new Republican governors, flipped 21 state legislative chambers, and replaced nearly 700 Democratic state legislators with members of the GOP. The sweep gave Republicans an advantage in state politics and, even more importantly, greater control over the once-a-decade redistricting process to cement their gains.

And then the liberal courts intervened and re-drew all those GOP gains to be Rat gains (e.g. Texas and Pennsylvania).

The Democrat Party makes no secret of its admiration for Red China.

Its goal for the US is nothing less than single party rule under their boot heel.

Absolutely correct. Forget the 2020 election fixing anything — Trump needs to channel his inner Pinochet and lead a military counter coup. Inevitably, this will require the imprisonment and/or execution of the entire RAT leadership.

You must be kidding. They have a huge base. Some of the donations are illegal but they still have millions of Useful Idiots who send in money.

The people have spoken. They don’t want what the Democrats have to offer (which is what?). The Democrats don’t care what the people want. They have an agenda.

Democrats keep talking about their “values”, but I’ve never heard much less seen what those “values” they speak of are. I say their “values” are just like everything else about them, LIES.

Their main objective, on orders and enablement of Soros, is to take the rather obscure Attorney Generals’ offices. Those in hand, they can cheat w/o getting prosecuted.

Desperate Dems continue to try to undo the humiliation of their election loss.

Dummies sure picked a winner in loud-mouthed Perez. Guy cant win an election to save his soul.

Perez declared "abortion-on-demand" is Democrats' ticket to victory.

That flopped....Perez is now looking at infanticide, mercy killing of the disabled, and assisted suicide of celebrities.

Might get 'em votes.......who knows?

It makes me sick to see democrats working so hard. They are out in force in Orlando and lake county Florida registering. I see their booths at many stores, fairs and events, even a statue rally in Tavares, Florida. I don’t see republicans at all. Now that doesn’t mean we are going to lose Florida, but we could lose some local and state seats.

Conservatives see government as a “necessary evil” and therefore tend to not be too enthusiastic about politics, in general.

Politics are the “be all, end all” for Liberals.

The Tea Party made it happen and the GOP-e stabbed them in the back as a “Thank You”
Now we know why.

I agree. They take politics so personal. Weird. However, due to that fact, they are working to win in 2020. Scary.

Let’s have a look at 2018, because the GOP barfed up many of the gains made under Obama that election year. Losing the House has led us to perpetual impeachment talk. I wouldn’t make the assumption that this will help the GOP in 2020.
