This was the worst week for Democrats since Donald Trump’s election-night shocker of 2016.
Why it matters: In less than 200 hours, Democrats botched Iowa, watched Trump hit an all-time popularity high, debated ousting the DNC chair, and watched a socialist soar and an ideological civil war intensify.
Axios' Margaret Talev reports from New Hampshire that amid real enthusiasm at candidate rallies, there's an underlying unease about unifying the party enough to get the kind of turnout needed to win in November. What we're hearing: There's a new fatalism in my conversations with Democrats, with many telling me that what once seemed unthinkable — Trump's re-election in November — is now starting to look more likely than ever.
In a CNN segment this morning that included Friday's rosy economic statistics, a graphic asked: "IS TRUMP'S RE-ELECTION PATH WIDENING?" This is all the more galling to Democrats because they believe he truly sees himself "above the law," as House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff tweeted Friday night, after Trump's impeachment acquittal. Reality check: A New York Times live fact-check blog on Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday came up with 8 statements labeled "misleading," 7 "lacks"/"needs context," 6 "false," 5 "true," 4 'exaggerated," 3 "mostly true," 2 "partly true," 1 "weighted but mostly true" and 1 "lacks evidence."
The entries became shorthand for how Democrats see the presidency. Between the lines: Talk to well-wired Republicans and they'll tell you Trump is fully capable of self-sabotage — that enough exhausted voters will finally say: "Just make it stop." But here's why Dems are apoplectic about the terrain:
In the Gallup poll this week that put Trump at 49% approval, a record for his presidency, just 1% had no opinion — leaving few persuadables.

But how long until the RATs counterattack with a new wave of falsehoods and dirty tricks?
It’s still a long way until November, although I’m less worried about Trump winning than retaining the Senate and flipping the House.
Still, the RATs will stop at nothing to achieve their sick dream of enslaving this nation under communism. And there are millions of foolish citizens who will vote for such an abomination.
May the Lord have mercy on them ... because I surely won’t.
I'll add:
Watching an Independent be the front-runner of the Democrat primary -- someone who won't even become a Democrat unless it's convenient for his short-term electability.

After calling a young female voter a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier” for asking him about Iowa, I think he’s down to days, not weeks
Honestly, now that we know for sure that the Democrat Party wants to stage a coup and destroy our republic, WHY ON EARTH are we allowing them to participate in our 2020 election? Why haven’t we arrested Adam Schiff and his entire group of conspirators (including the MSM)?
I don’t get it. Why are we even allowing those people to walk free? If the Deep State is powerful enough to protect such criminals, perhaps WE THE PEOPLE should take things into our own hands. Any of our county sheriffs, or the duly organized Constitutional militias, would have the right, under NATURAL LAW, to enforce the Constitution by holding investigatory grand juries, issuing charges, making arrests, etc.
If left on their own.
Odds are the Left/Dem machine will at the last minute convince Bernie to endorse Hillary in return for the VP slot. One wonders if she would have done significantly better in the key electoral college states last time with him as VP.
Otherwise, of course, Bernie might suffer some quite dramatic disability that takes him out of the race.
Excuse me; of course, I meant William Barr.
Everyone knows the 49% or whatever is bogus, it’s at least 10% higher. But if they reported Trump’s popularity honestly, dems would be jumping off ledges.
Good post.
You’re right.
They are a sick bunch. We can’t coexist with them much longer.
The day after the sc primary.
One thing we know for sure—Biden won’t know what day it is!
It was just an accident, ya know, like the Epstein cell camera malfunctions....

“Talk to well-wired Republicans and they’ll tell you Trump is fully capable of self-sabotage”
they’re talking about Bill Kristol, right?
“The MSN is starting to worry about the democrats”
big time ... it’s practically all they’ve been writing and talking about this week ...
The MSM is more responsible for the disarray than the Dems, the MSM have repeatedly LIED to the public about RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, then Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, then Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine the Dems are in the mess they are in BECAUSE their base has been deflated by ALL of the lies they don’t believe a word coming out of their mouths anymore!! Do you honestly believe that the Bernie BOTS are going to believe that Bernie didn’t win the nomination when he doesn’t???? Bloomberg will ride in and BUY the nomination BLOWING UP the entire base!!! LOL, LOL, LOL!!!
The well wired republicans Bill Kristol, George Will, Steven Hayes, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Bill Weld, Jeff Flake YEP boy they are just wired into WHO republicans are NOW!!! NOT!!!!
the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia (DLLFSE) have for several years now pumped out so many deberate lies and so much fake news and so many unsubstantiated rumors, that pretty much no one who’s paying the least bit of attention believes anything that they say at all; DLLFSE has created a situation in which the traditional anchors of truth and reality have disintegrated, leaving almost everyone looking for alternatives ...
unfortunately, this has left many believing nothing at all and many more prone to believing outlandish rumors and conspiracy theories ... one wonders if that was really the plan all along, that is, creating a populace of malleable and confused people who can easily be manipulated by demagogues and liars, or if that was simply a happy coincidence for the fascist left ...
