We all get that political strategists like to cheerlead for their party. Some might even say that it’s their job.
I, however, think that a good strategist is willing to see and speak the truth. If their party is failing, they aren’t doing anyone any favors by pretending things are going well.
Which brings me to Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, who appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday and gave the most laughable assessment of the upcoming midterms I’ve seen.
According to Brazile, the GOP is “essentially running on fumes” from allegations of voter fraud in 2020, while Democrats “are running on the economy that’s roaring back” and “fighting inflation.”
“All we have to do is wait over the next 37 days as 11 or 12 states hold their primaries,” Brazile claimed. “You have big primaries in Ohio and North Carolina, Pennsylvania where the former president has already tipped the scales and supported one candidate over another.”
“The Republicans are essentially running on fumes,” Brazile continued. “They’re running on the energy of 2020, which is the big lie. Democrats are running on an economy that’s roaring back, that is fighting inflation, that is helping the Ukrainians. Democrats will run on what they delivered. Republicans are going to run on the fumes of 2020.”

The “fumes” she is talking about must be the glue she is sniffing.
An utterly loathsome creature. And a racist, to boot.
There are many “pundits” today who make a living based on their understanding of the electorate in the past.
However, the shift to the left has left many behind. Donna is one of those but in her day she could read the tea leaves.
Karl Rove is another who no longer has much instinct when it comes to voters on the “right”. MAGA and America First is a foreign concept to the neocon class that dominated the GOP after Reagan serving their Chamber of Commerce masters.
These men and women did not leave “we the people”. They are stuck in the past and voters have simply moved past them.
I think she is write, in the general sense, that the GOP isn’t doing all that well right now, but it’s laughable without the context that in the immediate sense, the Democrats are in a much, much worse position right now. A president’s party usually doesn’t do great in midterms, but the Democrats are facing brutal prospects this fall.
One of the few things Shrillary has actually gotten right in her miserable life.
trying to convince them otherwise.…
Why would you waste the effort against your own best interests?
If their hair is on fire, they may figure it out. Or not. If they are outside, fine with me.
RE: “Oy, Has Donna Brazile Gone Cuckoo?”
I don’t think so. Brazile knows what happened in 2020. She also knows part of her job is to keep hidden all the machinations of 2020 hidden and cast doubts on anyone questioning the 2020 results.
I also, think she knows the 2022 results to within 2% to 5% and is not worried.
“Democrats will run on what they delivered.”
If only...we’d never see them again.
It’s easy forget that Newt Gingrich’s epic “Contract with America” wasn’t rolled out as a campaign strategy until late September in 1994.
Of course Donna never said that was RACIST!!!
This people are nuts, and fruits.
Hmmm. Was that a good thing? Because the Democrats owned the House for decades, yet the legislation/the left only really started gaining ground after the Republicans took control in 1994.
I think we should stop using "establishment GOP" now. There is one GOP, pretending there are different groups is silly at this point.
True, it was introduced only 6 weeks before the election. Probably a strategy to prevent opposition lies to dilute the effect.
All they have left at this point are the lies.
You f’ing inept idiot. The border is wide open and EVRYONE IS SICK OF IT. The GOP should be screaming that from the roof tops. THEY COULD RUN ON THAT ALONE NOW AND WIN 100 seats!!! It is an issue now, 10 years ago and will be in November you numbskull.
I have no respect for Hannity when he kisses up to democrats telling them how much he likes them. It makes me sick.
Why was anyone ever listening to this woman? She’s a dimocrat ditz and always has been.
It’s called ballot stuffing, or voter fraud.
