Desperate Democrats Grasping at Straws

Desperate times call for desperate measures. For the Democratic Party, these are desperate times indeed. The 2020 presidential election is 15 months away and Democrats have no serious candidate to challenge President Trump.

Instead they have twenty delusional candidates, each trying to out-left each other, to be more “woke” toward the latest social justice grievance.

How else to explain whiter-than-white Kirsten Gillibrand lecturing us on white privilege or the vice-president of the first black president, Joe Biden, being accused of racism by the faux African-American Kamala Harris, who is by nationality is actually half-Indian and half-Jamaican?

Democrats are desperate because the polls don’t augur well for their prospects of winning the White House in 2020. FiveThirtyEight compiled recent polls reflecting head-to-head matchups of Trump versus individual Democrat candidates, with Trump winning most polls.

Rasmussen, the most accurate pollster in predicting the 2016 outcome, has Trump 4 points ahead of Obama at comparable points in their respective presidencies, specifically, Trump at 48 percent total approval on August 2, versus Obama at only 44 percent.

We know who won reelection easily in 2012, against a more competent and sensible candidate, Mitt Romney, than any of the socialists gracing the debate stage last week. Despite his lurch to the land of NeverTrump, Romney had a record of accomplishment and success when he ran in 2012 and lost because someone replaced his spine with a wet noodle.

The Democratic debates thus far would have played better as parody on Saturday Night Live. The reviews were not pretty.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called the second night of the first 2020 Democratic debates a “disaster for the Democratic Party” saying that he hoped voters were not watching the face-off, which aired on MSNBC.

If a Democrat candidate wants a chance at a win, all he or she would need is a reasonable platform of ideas; not the crazy stuff that most Democrats are espousing. Of course,they would probably get little support from the party, so this is probably why none of them seem to be thinking this way. Seems to me this would have to be the place to start, though.

The Democrat Party has nothing to offer but HATE.

Only HATE. That's all.
But the Democrat Party has always been the Party of HATE and EVIL.

It was the Party of Slavery. The Republican Party was founded to defeat slavery and the pro-slavery Democrat Party.

The Democrat Party is also the party of racism, infanticide, Jim Crow laws, lynching, the Ku Klux Klan, abortion, voter fraud, illegal immigration, all that's evil and filled with HATE

It hasn't changed since it was the Party of Slavery.

Of course they're desperate and grasping at straws. HATE is all they have to offer.

Founded in hate, it’s the hate that drives them. it’s their fuel. They haven’t changed one iota from the day the party was founded. Only the color of the hoods has changed.

You forgot to mention the famous Indian killer, author of the Trail of Tears and first Democrat President, Andrew Jackson.

Funny thing is that if the media would stop mindlessly defending Democrats, they’d be a lot more formidable.

"Founded in hate, it’s the hate that drives them. it’s their fuel. They haven’t changed one iota from the day the party was founded. Only the color of the hoods has changed."

Absolutely true. And well said.

The Party of HATE hates America, President Trump, liberty, justice, equality of opportunity, anyone whose ideas differ from the party line, anyone and anything that gets in the way of their self-serving, evil, hate-fueled ambitions.

They would still be selling children away from their parents, husbands away from their wives, if they could get away with it.

The Party of Hate has nothing to offer but HATE.

***The 2020 presidential election is 15 months away and Democrats have no serious candidate to challenge President Trump***

AND they have no serious issues to campaign upon! They are using Hildy's campaign strategy: We must all hate Donald Trump and his voters - which worked so well for her, eh?
