The party of ludicrous
obstruction is facing a brutal 2018 map in which 10 Senate Democrats are up for
reelection in states President Trump won.
Their base is clamoring to remove him from office before 2020.
The party has, of late,
being eating their own. Nancy Palsi
tweeted about “striving to Make America Beautiful Again”. Mad Maxine Waters called for her supporters
to harass Trump Administration officials saying, “God is on our side. If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a
restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you
create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome
anymore, anywhere.”
They’ve hitched their
wagon to some barmaid from the Bronx who is economically
ignorant and ignited
a controversy when she said America wasn’t founded on capitalism and called
Israel an “occupation” force in the Palestinian territories.
Meanwhile, Republicans
are poised to gain a decades-long hyper-conservative majority on the Supreme
Court with Trump's nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, and all the Democratic leadership
can do is wring their hands and shout about Roe v. Wade, health care and
immigration without a clear, unified message about how to win back
the House and Senate in 2018.
The unimaginative
leaders of the Democrat Party─Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and DNC Chairman Tom
Perez─have feigned playing nice talking about the virtues of civility while Republicans
have been accusing Democrats of backing Communism and supporting the savage gang
members of MS-13.
Marc Thiessen wrote in
a Washington
Post Op-Ed, “MS-13 is a demonic death cult. And President Trump has
Nancy Pelosi defending its members’ humanity.”
“Through their
dishonesty, Democrats such as Pelosi have handed the President a winning issue.
A Harvard/Harris poll finds that 56 percent
of Americans agree with Trump that it is fair to call MS-13 “animals”
(including 47 percent of Hispanics, and 41 percent of Democrats). Millions of
Americans can’t understand why Democrats seem more hostile toward Trump than a
vicious gang that carries out savage killings.”
Last Thursday House
Democrats introduced legislation that would abolish U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), prompting Senate Republicans to respond with a
resolution of their own.
Just yesterday the House
of Representatives voted for a resolution that supports ICE and explicitly
condemns Democrats’ calls to abolish the agency. The final vote was 244-35-133.
The majority of House Democrats (133) voted “present” in protest of the
resolution. The resolution said calls to
abolish ICE “are an insult to the heroic law enforcement officers who make sacrifices
every day to secure our borders, enforce our laws and protect our safety and
security and allow dangerous criminals to remain in the U.S.”
Democrats called the
resolution a political stunt. It wasn’t
a stunt. It broke the back of the
Democrat Party by getting them on record for voting against supporting the
agency and its vital work in securing the border.
The complete list of
Democrats who voted against the measure can be found here.
In a private meeting
yesterday, Democrats decided just pointing fingers at President Trump and
yelling “In Peach Foty Fie” ain’t cuttin’ the mustard.
What did they come up
with?
Chair of the Democratic
Policy and Communications Committee, Cheri Bustos (D-IL) announced they will
use the new slogan “For the People” in the 2018 midterm elections.
Bustos, who supports
the DREAM Act said, “We have 110 days from right now until Election Day and we
will be spending the month of August in our home districts and we wanted to
make sure we are singing from the same song sheet on the three top issues.”
The new slogan will
accompany a focus on three key areas, according to Bustos: health care;
infrastructure spending; and Republican corruption in Washington.
“Those are three promises
that this president made to the American people that he has not kept. Sometimes
you have to clearly and simply point out how we’re different,” she said. “With
discipline and not being distracted by the outrage of the day, that’s how
people can start hearing us.”
“I don’t think any of
us are claiming this is poetic or this is the end-all-be-all of messaging,” she
emphasized. “It’s just a way, in a quick way, to put together the answer to
what we stand for.”
Oh honey.
If the Democrats win back the Senate, Mark Warner (D-VA)
would take over the Senate Intelligence Committee and would devote its work to
a renewed investigation of President Trump’s alleged Russia ties.
On the other hand, if the party cannot win back Congress in
2018, the 2020 Presidential Election will be a moot point. The message for all of us “deplorables” is
simply this: Don’t get complacent. Campaign against the Democrats up for
re-election. Talk up their challenger,
but of paramount importance─get to the
polls and vote.
