Will Democrats fumble the 2018 midterm elections?

[TalkRadio1]

Last Thursday, The Atlantic ran a story that was pretty darn embarrassing for the national Democratic leadership – or should have been. Five black women who'd won House primaries around the country told assistant editor Elaine Godfrey the party had completely blown them off: no support, no contact, not even a congratulatory call or email when they won. "I have yet to receive one red cent from the local, the state, or the national party," said Jeannine Lee Lake, who beat five other Democrats in a House primary in Indiana on May 8th.

Lake said she totally understands that the party can't realistically throw money into every House race, especially in heavily Republican districts like hers. Even so, why the cold shoulder, especially at a time when Democratic officials are constantly yammering about black women being "the backbone" of the party? "It's the height of hypocrisy," Lake said. "We bring millions of votes into these campaigns, and we're gettin' no love." At the very least, Lake said, "the optics look bad."

This sort of clumsy tone-deafness has been the defining characteristic of the Democratic Party's midterm efforts thus far. The Democratic leadership appears determined to alienate, as often and thoroughly as possible, the very people who could lift it to victory in 2018 and beyond: not just black women (who famously put Senator Doug Jones over the top in Alabama last December), but pretty much everybody to the left of Chuck Schumer.

Advancing the safety and welfare of illegal foreigners over those of American citizens is going to go down as a huge political loser with the majority of the voting public.

No one is advocating illegal immigration you disingenuous retard. NO ONE.

Take your anger out on your Dear Leader who betrayed and lied to you and the other retards.

You/we can assume whatever we want, the bottom line is that, like you said, the optics are shit. It's right up there with her retarded husband throwing paper towels to a US territory that was underwater.

Individuals with developmental disabilities deserve our respect.

Your cavalier use of "retard/retarded" is vile and disgusting.

The square box you represent is completely full of shit. Open borders, the mantra of the left, is all about forgiving illegal entry. They only want the immigration laws applied against white Europeans and Asians, people who understand the dangers of Socialism and represent no advantage to the Democrat Party politically.

In California and elsewhere, illegal aliens are encouraged to apply for government jobs and positions of power. When the feds try and enforce immigration law they are opposed by Democrat local governments and shielded from law enforcement. They get free tutition in some states, free legal advice in order to fight the federal government. All of this supported by the Democrat party and other traitors of the left. All of which "encourages" illegal entry into the United states.

It's beginning to look like it.

They are still too busy talking at people instead of to them.

Because you define all of the people who cross our borders as legal asylum seekers?

[As you did in the other thread?]

You trying to lie to yourself or everyone else???

No one right of "progressive" is advocating illegal immigration because they aren't fucking morons drunk on feel good warm fuzzies.

The "progressive" crowd though loves and encourages it blatantly, openly and proudly.

Through everything from their language wordplay like calling illegal immigrants "undocumented citizen" to supporting non-enforcement of immigration laws/border security and incentivizing illegal immigration. The "progressive" left 100% supports illegal immigration and demonstrates that support on a regular if not daily basis.

The actual question isn't whether the Democrats will fumble but will they fumble so badly that the GOP fuckups in Congress will still reelected.

It's gonna be a close call.

 

[KeithD]

The ACTUAL question is whether the Republicans and Trump (who isn't really a Republican) can stop fumbling far more than the Democrats are before the midterms. Another question is whether the traditional Republican conservatives can actually find a party to belong to and have candidates to back before the midterms. Lots of questions here. No answers until the second Wednesday in November.

There seems to be a race towards incompetence and failed governance between Dems and Pubs. It’s anybody’s guess who will cross the finish line first.

Oh, I think Republicans are ahead by a mile or too in the "shooting one's self in the foot" race.

When used as a noun like that, it certainly is.
