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.

Good. I certainly hope so.

People vote their pocket books. The Dems used to have a firm grasp on that simple but powerful concept . They believed in paying off their rank and file constituents with various benefit programs such a Medicare or the SSA programs that chiefly rewarded the lower middle class/working class. These are the people the Dems are walking away from. The Party of Andrew Jackson and FDR has become the Party of BHO and Pelosi and has no time for the old party base. The Dem strategists can't figure out why the defections as they concentrate on illegals and Millennial snowflakes.

Hope they elevate this open borders socialist to become the face of the Democratic Party. Let the people know that a vote for any Democrat is a vote for socialism and open borders. Let the people know the true significance of their vote.

They can see that the Democrat party is hostile towards white people, and that Trump is doing good things for working-class people (who used to be a major constituency of the Dem Party) by bringing back blue collar manufacturing jobs from overseas.

“And in every general midterm election since at least 1982, Republicans have had an average of 6 percent higher turnout than Democrats.”

Let’s make that a good, solid 25% higher turnout this November - just to be on the safe side, shall we? ;)

I noticed #Walkaway today, too!

I’m not sure how I’m going to feel when I see my Enemies driven before me and hear the lamentations of their Women, Transgenders and Pajama Boys, LOL!

Oh, who am I kidding? It’ll feel GREAT! :)

Let me try. I’ll be brief:

The Dems are in deep trouble because they’re getting more insane by the day and their ugly true colors are showing and normal people don’t like what they see.

I’d change two things though... Take out the burning limo part (feeds into party of the rich) and change the Michelle Wolfe speech to the section when she applauded abortion.

Trump is winning but most importantly, he acts like a winner. He makes no apologies for winning. He is enjoying winning. WINNING IS FUN!

A recent article in some liberal rag took Trump administration officials to task for HAVING TOO MUCH FUN IN THEIR INSTAGRAM PHOTOS!

People like being on the winning team. People like supporting the winning team.

The Democrats are looking and acting like sad losers. Nobody likes sad losers.

I picture them wheeling him in like Captain Pike on the original Star Trek and having Meghan McCain push a button to activate the red light for a “no” vote.
