It's Even Worse for the Dems Than They Thought
And It Will Get Worse Before It Gets Better
PJ Media's Matt Margolis posted on Tuesday about a heavyweight "Round Table" hosted by four heavyweight Democrats and reported by the New York Times. The four Democrats are Frank Bruni, the long-time political analyst for the NY Times; former Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan; Anat Shenker-Osorio, a campaign adviser and the host of the podcast “Words to Win By”; and Democratic strategist Lis Smith.
The upshot of the "Round Table" was grim.
"Many of the Democrats who succeeded this cycle — our best over-performers in House races, for instance — are people who ran against the Democratic Party brand," Lis Smith pointed out. "Trump tore down the blue wall in the industrial Midwest, but he also expanded his vote the most in our bluest and most urban areas."
That strategy by Democrats in, for the most part, purple districts probably saved the party from total disaster. As it was, they actually picked up one seat in the House. And the three seats the GOP picked up in the Senate could have easily been more if some candidates hadn't run away from Biden/Harris.
The Democratic disaster can't be found in the numbers.
Politico:
In a trio of focus groups, even voters who previously backed Democrats cast the party as weak and overly focused on diversity and elites, according to research by the progressive group Navigator Research.
When asked to compare the Democratic Party to an animal, one participant compared the party to an ostrich because “they’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.” Another likened them to koalas, who “are complacent and lazy about getting policy wins that we really need.” Democrats, another said, are “not a friend of the working class anymore.”
~Snip~Progressives are especially reluctant to follow the logic of their arguments to the obvious conclusion. "It might be something a little bit deeper" reveals the inability of progressives to come to grips honestly with their radicalism for fear of offending their base of support. The base wants the party to double down on radical leftism, and unless mainstream/establishment Democrats can head off that effort, 2026 will be a massacre.
Commentary:
The Blue collar working people are leaving the Democrat party. Neo-Marxist Democrats are now mainly the Rich elites, government workers, radical feminists and uninformed immigrants.
The results should not be misinterpreted.
Democrats lost the 2024 election because they lied about Biden. Told people not to believe their wallets about inflation and the economy, etc.
Harris was an awful candidate chosen by the DNC not the People. She has ZERO charm and made ZERO effort to distance herself from Biden’s policies.
2028 will be an entirely new game without Trump.
J.D. Vance is looked upon as the man to carry the fight forward in 2028.
If things go well and the economy is good, then Vance should win easily (think Bush41 in 1988).
If the economy is not rocking and if inflation is still raging, then a smooth Democrat can win.
The incessant Godless and Reprobate agendas pushed by Democrats are bearing the expected ugly fruit and people have begun to wake up to the dangers.
The Neo-Marxist Democrat party is now officially the party of the Deep State swamp imbedded like ticks in the federal government and ruling elites who benefit from it. Trump and MAGA have the chance to be the party of the people if they don’t screw it up.
