CNN’s Harry Enten took a deep dive into “all the red flags” popping up for Democrats, who were widely believed to be poised to sweep the November midterms.

“Take a look here. Republicans at this point, $657 million! My goodness gracious, that’s why I’m talking about these bills, right?” Enten said. “While the Democrats, only about $334 million — only about half the level of Republicans. And, of course, cash is what makes the world go round in politics.”

Enten took a look at Democratic net favorability.
“Back in 2018 when Democrats were able to take control of the House, they were actually on the plus side of the ledger. They were actually in positive territory at plus-one point,” Enten said. “Look now in 2026. We’re not just talking down there underneath the Potomac. We’re talking down there with the Titanic! We’re talking 24 points underwater! And this is just the party overall.”

Must be Fake News.
If the socialist infestation of the Democrat Party isn’t enough to sink them, then our country really isn’t s in trouble.
Money alone won’t beat illegal ballot stuffing.
Neither party need spend a single cent to get my vote. My mind is made up. Most of what I see on the ballot is D or R. I do make exceptions for candidates like Thillis, though. I leave them blank.
They say this all the time. They lull you while they get their fraud on. Just get out there and vote!
This time the red flags are actual red flags. The communist cat is out of the bag the Democrats usually kept him in.
There should be a write-in campaign for the Maine contest.
Write in Graham Platner!
Make every tattoo count!
“They say this all the time. They lull you while they get their fraud on. Just get out there and vote!”
My thoughts also.
Seems to me I hear doom and gloom for the dem-o-rats every election cycle. Maybe it will be true this cycle. Not holding my breath.
I don’t believe it! The rats probably already have their ballot stuffers, oversize ballots, broken water mains, and 100 million extra mail-in votes ready! As well as lamestream media prepped!
I think R wins 53 Senate and 230+ House. The Californians spread out blue districts too thin to “have more districts” but 2024 showed a red voting direction in non-LA/SF areas. The whole Pratt thing, plus the new gas tax, plus a general sense of malaise will intensify this as rural/suburban housing prices are also in a downwards trend. I think the Reps might win 10 unpredicted seats in Cali alone.
There’s also a real chance that Dem fundraising and illegal ops take a huge hit. Maybe I’m optimistic, but Trump’s a lot more active than in 2018 when dems didn’t have open communists running and the Russiagate was still going.
Bump
The Stupid Party can still easily loose 2026.
Just look a CornHole, Tillis, Thune and no shortage of useless House ‘critters....

Blah blah. The media always says the same thing. “Oh no! Our democracy is lost unless you send money to democrats!” “Fight Trump! Kill Republicans!”
Blah blah. The Republicans sit on piles of money and won’t spend hardly a dime for MAGA candidates because RINOs hate Trump.
I’ll keep voting for Conservatives like an abused spouse. “Honey, I promise it won’t ever happen again. I won’t beat you anymore.”
That’s the Republican promise. The alternative is horrifying. Dems. Pick your poison.
Exactly.
!) A good ground game is the way to win when there is no vote fraud.
2) A good ground game is the best way to prevent vote fraud.
3) Democrats have a good ground game.
4) Republicans have Faith & Freedom prolifers but pro life is not a big issue this election. Republicans have TPUSA kids or unknown effectiveness. Republicans have Ballot Chasers in NV, AZ. Where Republicans have a good ground game in a purple area, Republicans will win. Where Republicans lack an good ground game and Democrats do, Democrats win.
5) Trump is the lesser of the evils. Most voters are not enthusiastic about Trump. But look at the alternatives.
If the Democrats can run against Trump and not on the real issues, Democrats have the edge.
6) Data Centers is a new issue. There have been big data centers for 40 years. Before 2025 the many of data center in each big city and its suburbs were not an issue. They were welcomed enthusiastically. Late 2025 and now 2026b someone is driving an special interest agenda of fear of data centers that is total superstition. Nobody had any complaint against the thousands of data centers in both Blue and Red areas prior to 2026. Data Center money needs to be spent to honestly look at the existing many data centers and why there is no opposition to them...only to fear of “new” data centers.
This is an “new” transitory issue that can sink Republicans it not properly handled.
