Hoping for a Spain repeat.
The Democrats are allies of the Jihadists.
It's that simple.
In more ways than one. The jihadists would never have won in Spain had the Spanish media (most of which is a direct tool of the Socialist Party) not seized it to attack Aznar, whom they had always hated. There were media and Socialist coordinated mini-riots outside of PP (Aznar's Conservative party) headquarters. Furthermore, by election day, you would have thought that Aznar himself had planted the bombs, according to the press and the Socialists.
That's exactly what would happen here.
