After suffering a setback at the beginning of the month in a congressional special election in Texas, Democrats are taking no chances this time around in neighboring New Mexico in the showdown for a safe seat the party has held for a dozen years.

Early voting’s been underway for a week and a half for next Tuesday’s special election in the state’s 1st Congressional District, in the race to succeed Deb Haaland, who stepped down from her congressional seat after she was confirmed as Interior Secretary in President Biden’s Cabinet.

The district, in the central part of the New Mexico, includes roughly three-quarters of Albuquerque, the state’s largest city. It’s a solidly blue seat – Haaland won reelection last year by 16 points and Biden carried the district by 23 points over then-President Trump.

Liberalism is mental deception,

both when it is believed and when it is promoted.

Americans like divided government. GOP is going to pick up a lot of undeserved support because of that.

I highly doubt this seat is going to be one of them... if Dems lose a deep Blue urban district like this.. they will face obliteration in 2022...

Just don’t see it happening

“Taking no chances” - Democrat euphemism for “rigging the vote”. That’s what all those Soros goons were elected to do.

“Nervous Democrats playing it safe...”

WHERE’S THE BEEF!

“Nowadays” (funny, using a term from “yesteryear”, wait “yesteryear” is a term from yesteryear!) I digress...just like the author of this piece.

GET RIGHT TO THE POINT!

In the very first sentence, tell us HOW “Democrats playing it safe”.

THEN, if people want to read the rest of your “diatribe”
(”yesteryear” ?), they can, or not waste their time.

After suffering through what was posted and still wondering “WHERE’S THE BEEF!” (”yesteryear” ?) I realized I really don’t care enough about it to go to the site to find out.

I was too “bushwhacked” (”yesteryear” ?)
