First, the bad news. The liberals are angry and motivated and they are clearly going to vote. The big question is whether they are going to manifest in much higher than usual numbers in patriotic districts now held by Republicans instead of merely running up the score in places the like the shooting gallery districts of Chicago or the feces n’ syringe districts of San Francisco that already go 70% Democrat. So those hellholes double the number of voters and go 80% Democrat? Big whoop.
It’s the toss-up districts we need to worry about, ones where the elections are usually close and the demographics include a lot of fussy soccer moms who think Trump is icky and who might let that outweigh their tax cuts and fattened 401(k)s. A lot of those districts are repped by soft, lazy GOP incumbents who aren’t in fighting shape, and this cycle, the weak shall be culled from the herd.
Democrats are trying to be clever, suckering the saps by recruiting liberal vets and law enforcement where they can and playing these collaborators off as something other than the hard left goose-steppers the modern Democratic Party demands. That bait n’ switch strategy worked in 2006, when a bunch of alleged moderates got elected and promptly did everything Nancy Pelosi told them to. They no longer exist, the voters having wised up. The Democrats are hoping the voters forgot so they can run the same grift again.
But the Democratic Party changed in the last dozen years. There’s no room anymore for the kind of Democrat who caters to his district’s needs instead of heeding the commands of the gyno-beanie wearing #Resist weirdos. Democratic primary voters may well choose not to play ball and nominate the loonies – well, the ones who are openly loony instead of the ones who pretend to be sane but who will inevitably go loony left once they get to DC.
Showdown in November: Fearsome Blue Wave or Flaccid Democrat Failure?
