Heilemann: ‘Democrats Have Been in Denial’ on Inflation and Are on Course ‘to Get Crushed’ in Midterms
Breitbart ^ | 03/25/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/26/2022 7:47:28 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” The Recount Executive Editor, Showtime host, and NBC Analyst John Heilemann said that “Democrats have been in denial” about inflation and that if they don’t solve the issue or get better messaging, “they’re going to get crushed in these midterms, almost exclusively on this issue.”

Heilemann stated, “Democrats have been in denial about this…people do not remember in this country what it was like to have runaway inflation and have inflation that destroyed — was one of the main reasons that destroyed Jimmy Carter’s presidency. If you look around the world over the last 150 years, there is nothing that…spells political ruin more than inflation.”

“better messaging”

Yup—They need to learn how to tell better lies—I think there are a bunch of consultants for that....

Has anything been done about election integrity? No. So what makes him think Democraps will be crushed? I wouldn’t be surprised if they sweep it and take every office. If anyone hasn’t noticed, we LOST the right to vote in 2020. Our POTUS was decided for us.

I live in a heavy Democrat area. And lately there have been quite a few ads on TV saying how great Biden’s policies are. The first ones featured a small business owner. The newer ones feature an army veteran.

These ads are running in a D area. And November is far away. That tells me one thing. The Democrats are worried.

As for me, I’m worried that the Democrats will ramp up their cheat machine again, while the GOP leadership just yawns (again).

And of course when the Democrats get crushed and all the moderates are run out and replaced by Republicans, it’ll be the nut jobs like AOC that are left and therefore give them more power.

I don’t blame the AOC’s of the world.

I blame the total freaking nut jobs that keep putting them back in office

I think the Democrats want to lose this election and in 2024.

They have set the economy up for a collapse and a GOP Congress is not going to change that with Biden as POTUS.

When Trump or DeSantis win in 2024, the system will collapse and they will blame it on Trump and the GOP majority.

The system cannot be saved at this point. Shortages, inflation and another housing/auto collapse are coming.

Mark my words.

“..Republicans will win but will it make a difference? What will they do thats any different than Biden?...”

There’s the DNC arm and the GOPe arm = UniParty.
Sure, the POSs all wear different hats and tell different lies to their “unwashed constituencies”, but the bottom line is they ALL have the same goals and agenda; and it sure as hell isn’t to MAGA. It’s just one, great big, happy party that continues to milk the “unwashed” every payday and greedily feasts at the public trough...and we ain’t part of it other than to provide the payday “milk”. So to answer your original question: NOTHING.

I wish to blazes people would shut up and stop telling Democrats what they're doing wrong! SHUT UP ALREADY!

Haven't any of the conservative ‘’pundits’ ever heard of Napoleon's dictum "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake'' Or better yet W.C. Fields who said "Never smarten up a chump''.

How in the world anyone can be happy about the price of a gallon of gas is someone truly delusional.

But I repeat myself. Democrats and delusion go together.

At my job there’s a number of stupid kids who voted for this clown and are they pissed. “OMG ,like gas is so totally expensive!’’ they’re crying.

I’m 66 and I tell them “You kids ain’t seen nothing yet’’. I told them, ‘’Wait till the day comes when you’re in a line of cars half a mile long hoping to get a couple of bucks’’.

They just don’t get it. These idiots stare into smart phones all day and think that’s how the whole world operates.

Dumb doesn’t even come close to describing a lot of these young people.

Lose the election? They know they have Dominion. Evidently you don’t.
