Democrats Are in for a Backlash This November
Townhall ^ | 08/19/2022 | Ronna McDaniel

Posted on 08/19/2022 7:41:20 AM PDT by Az Joe

Every action has a reaction. This election cycle, Democrats are learning the hard way that the same is true in politics. For nearly two years, Joe Biden and Democrats have run the country into the ground with a set of left-wing priorities and radical policies. Now, voters from coast to coast are rejecting Democrats’ agenda and voting Republican up and down the ballot. A backlash is coming, and there’s no better indicator than the battle for the United States Senate.

The conservatives have to fight a battle on 2 fronts -- the enemy Rats, and the enemy RINOs within.

so true.

Typical BS from the failed chair of the RNC.

We met they enemy and they are us.

Do these idiots have no self-awareness. Look in mirror - do you see Lizzie, all y'all, because that is what we see, bless your hearts.

The Senate will remain in DemoRat control. Repub ground game and candidate roster has been weak sauce, IMO. Never hit them where it hurts - played by Marquis de Queensbury rules in an alley fight.

Nah. McConnell is too busy snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

There are also some things below the radar, which could hurt Democrats.

Cultural things, such as all this business about “transgender” students in school, and drag queen story hours, and liberals telling parents they have no right to know what is taught in school — all of these are associated politically with Democrats.

Rising crime is associated with Democrats.

Some of these issues are not talked about by political candidates, but there is a sense among some people, that voting for Democrats gets you bad results in these areas of life.

Time will tell if such issues are enough to tip the balance in elections.

Democrats Are in for a Backlash This November Since They Relinquished Their Total Control of the US Election System in A Gesture of Magnanimity.

that would be great to see.

I read something, I forget from what organization, but their prediction was that the Senate will be 50-50 again, so Kamala will still have the tie breaking vote.

It seems the key races are in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and I think Nevada? I get the impression all of these are too close to call, and Dems. could actually pick up seats, by flipping Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Time will tell. I guess our best hope is that the GOP is expected to win the House, while the Senate is up for grabs.

They’re working on it. Markelly giffords is reportedly ahead in AZ, crazy fetterman is reportedly way ahead of Oz in PA, not sure about the cortez mantoes vs Laxalt here in NevaDUH but I smell the stench from hairy Reid’s grave wafting about. And post turtle ain’t helping. 😕

There was a backlash two years ago. Didn’t slow The Steal down one bit. Prepare for more of the same.

Where was this Dem “big cheat” for Liz Cheney who got annihilated by a massive 40% despite huge inflows of cash from Hollywood and blue states? And by a complete novice in politics.

I expect another big cheat.

Very true, but there ae plenty of fanatically loyal Democrat voters who apparently either:

  1. Really want the country to collapse into 3rd world status or
  2. are fanatically devoted to the green energy lie or
  3. are brain dead zombies or
  4. live in a fantasy universe where the laws of physics, mathematics, economics, and reality itself are mutable by their delusional disorder psychosis or
  5. are just plain too stupid to see cause and effect
  6. are hard core socialists who despite socialism having been tried many times and NOT EVER DELIVERING ITS PROMISED UTOPIA still think with them in charge it will work or
  7. are parasites living off the loot plundered by Wash DC from the hard working taxpayers in this country and are too lazy to steal for themselves
I see the same bone headed morons in my neighborhood who had Slo Joe and the Ho signs in their yards last election now have signs for the Democrat candidates. It's as if they learned nothing. Or have been living on Mars for the last 18 months and just commute back to earth to vote.

All of the coulmnists who are predicting a red wave are unaware of the fact that Democrat voters have an intense fanatical loyalty to the Democrat party and will never switch their vote to a republican no matter what evidence is before their eyes.

I would feel more confident had a similar article been written by an unbiased, objective observer. Better still, someone with an accurate predictive track record ( hence, we can ignore Dick Morris and Mitt Romney’s relative).

If the turn out is like the primary turnout, it won’t take much fudge to pack demokkkommie candidates. Turn out near us was dismal looking at the results numbers. Sad dang situation.

RINO’s best not get too cocky. They besmirch the conservative base who often have to pull their sorry butts over the finish line in the general elections simply because voting for their Rat opponents would be committing mortal sins.

Nothing has been done to change things from 2020.

Plenty has been done on ballot reforms, in lots of states, including Texas and Florida.
Remember when the entire Dem state congressmen rub away to DC to try and stop ballot reforms from passing, and Failed woefully anyway, when ballot reforms passed?

10 PM: The Republican candidate is far ahead.
2 AM: Many boxes of mail-in ballots suddenly appear.
8 AM: The Democrat candidate is declared the winner.

Dream on!

Some of that was Dems crossing over to vote for Cheney.

We’ll be lucky if we take the senate.

Even if we do we got Romney, Murk, Collins and other RINO's. Will not matter.
