The Dems Are… Winning?! Hakeem Jeffries: 'We Have the Republicans on the Run!'
https://pjmedia.com ^ | 3/13/2025 | SCOTT PINSKER

To me, it sounds like a nail bragging about its rivalry with a hammer. (Or a bag of doughnuts bragging about its rivalry with Lizzo.) But nonetheless, here we are:

“We have the Republicans on the run!” announced House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Turns out the Democrats aren’t just bravely battling back against President Trump. They’re actually winning — and now Old Man Trump is running scared!

In a call with party leaders, Jeffries described Trump’s recent speech to Congress as “one of the most divisive speeches by a president in American history” and predicted, because of the economy, MAGA’s end was nigh:

Because it’s collapsing on his watch. They made promises with respect to lowering costs. Costs aren’t going down, they are going up. Inflation is going up. You know what’s coming down? Donald Trump’s poll numbers, because he is mismanaging the economy and the American people are feeling it…

We have them on the run in terms of health care – particularly as it relates to Medicaid. House Democrats stand on the side of Medicaid and the American people. Republicans are trying to enact the largest cut to Medicaid in American history, and we need to keep the pressure on them legislatively and in communities all across the country.

That’s Jeffries’ battlefield assessment: Finally, everything is going the Democrats’ way. They’ve got the momentum, baby! And Jeffries wasn’t done:

We have to continue to call them out on their extremism — we will do that. And all of that is being done in service of trying to pass massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors like Elon Musk and wealthy corporations. So, we have them on the run, and we’re going to keep our foot on the gas pedal. [emphasis added]

With a name like Hakeem, he must be a Muslim terrorist. Deport him.

This is over the top, but I'll give the dems credit for making the right strategic move in passing the CR. They keep their activist judges active, and live to fight another day. We're not "on the run", but we haven't won yet either.

Of course the right move would be to work with Trump and DOGE and offering solutions to all of the waste and fraud, but orange man bad.
