Democrats are in a crisis and the media won't talk about it
Washington Examiner ^ | 30 June 2018 | Eddie Scarry

The Democratic Party is in an ongoing crisis, but most of the national media aren’t interested.

They’d rather talk about the new “rock star,” Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Coretz, and ignore that the party is up in flames.

Both Republican and Democratic voters are turning out in record numbers for their primary elections this year, according to analysis published this week by the Hill.

democrats have a slight advantage by about a million votes, but that’s only in primaries. And in every general midterm election since at least 1982, Republicans have had an average of 6 percent higher turnout than Democrats.

Democrats swept Congress in 2006, but that was in a year of President George W. Bush, who wasn’t as popular as President Trump is among both Republicans and independents

“Democrap party is utter toast. I was reading about the #walkway movement today, it’s unbelievable. Democrats are leaving the party in droves and supporting Trump.”

I’ll believe it when I see the Repubs hold the House and Senate this Nov.

I’m not counting my chickens just yet, and neither should anyone on the Conservative side.

Regular dems have good reason to #WalkAway -- because they aren't insane. Just like us, millions of them

- have police officers in their families

- are *legal* immigrants

- are working class and don't feel 'Privileged,' or

- have young daughters who they don't want losing sports scholarships to 'former' boys (or using bathrooms/dressingrooms them).

Not that complicated. The extreme nut Rats run that Party - they're peeing in their own pool good - luck with that! :)

And when they scream every time Trump tweets some pithy but ‘rude’ and true comment, America loves it, because it’s honest and he’s standing up for us.

Just keep them talking. Mad Maxine and her supposed death threats and nunchucks Nanners who can’t finish a sentence.

The real positive is lifelong Democrats taking a hard look at the MSM.

They see it.

If Hillary had fought a fair battle against Bernie, she might have learned a lot about campaigning. She might even have won the nomination fairly, which would have left her both more skilled and better positioned for the general election. It’s good for us when democrats cheat, because they don’t learn from those shallow victories. I’m okay with the media hiding their problems, because it removes the incentive to learn and to find solutions.

The collectivist woman from Westchester/Bronx is Hugo Chavez with a wig. Socialism prospers in the fertile soil of corruption and ignorance.

The funny part is this Crowley fella was groomed to be Nanners replacement.

He’s gone.

The moonbat left created these monsters of governance, they are now turning on them.

Millennials always turn on those that mentor them. It’s what they do.

“Both Republican and Democratic voters are turning out in record numbers for their primary elections this year, according to analysis published this week by the Hill.”

That is NOT TRUE in the case of Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Coretz. She won with 4,000 votes in a district with more than 200,000 registered RATS. I think that between her and Crowley they didn’t get to 10%.

“If Hillary had fought a fair battle against Bernie, she might have learned a lot about campaigning.”

In other words, due to her arrogance, she managed to f*ck herself out of the Presidency!

“People vote their pocket books.”

Yet Obama was reelected in 2012, despite have a horrible economic record. Course I blame the Republican Establishment candidate Mitt Romney and his loser sidekick Paul Ryan.
