The Democrats know they’re going to lose the 2018 election in Congress and in the state houses, too.

But by predicting huge victories their plan is to claim that their ‘victories’ were stolen from them and that any Republican office holders are therefore illegitimate.

You watch.

COLE PORTER
It’s De-lovely

The night is young, the skies are clear
And if you want to go walkin’, dear
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely

I understand the reason why
You’re sentimental, ‘cause so am I
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely

You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is
for romance
You can hear, dear Mother Nature murmuring low “Let
yourself go”

So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss ya, just say to me
“It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s delectable,
it’s delirious,
It’s dilemma, it’s de limit, it’s deluxe, it’s
de-lovely”

I feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that
invokes the Spring
So, control your desire to curse while I crucify the
verse
This verse I’ve started seems to me the “Tin
Pan-tithesis” of melody
So to spare you all the pain, I’ll skip the darn thing
and sing the refrain

Time marches on, and soon it’s plain
You’ve won my heart and I’ve lost my brain.
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.

Life seems to sweet that we decide
It’s in the bag to get unified.
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.

See the crowd in that church, see the proud parson
plopped on his perch.
Get the sweet beat of that organ sealing our doom.
‘Here goes the groom, boom!’

How they cheer and how they smile as we go galloping
down that aisle.
It’s divine, dear. It’s diveen, dear. It’s de-
wunderbar. It’s de victory.
It’s de valoop. It’s de vinner. It’s de voiks. It’s de-
lovely.

Look at the Whitest states in the rust belt and NE:

ME, NH, PA, OH, MI, WI, IA Trump won 4 1/4 out of the six.

I based my E.C. prediction (286 for Trump) on which states were the Whitest. I missed PA (20)

Healthcare doesn’t have to do anything else. ... JUST CUT PREMIUMS

Cutting Premiums means higher taxes to PAY the COST ... unless Healthcare bills do SOMETHING ELSE ... cut COST.

No PAY bill that is politically acceptable is mathematically possible. Ryancare and McConnellcare both make the same mistake that Obamacare made. They focus on PAY to insurance companies and PAY to medical providers. The poor do not get any money. All these attempts are Corporatism...favoratism to big insurance and big hospital chains at the expense of taxpayers, and small medical providers and small insurance companies, and especially competition to insurance companies from Medishare and Direct Pay approaches to medical care.

As for the main theme of the article: If employment is high and the economy is strong and there is no unpopular war, the Republicans can gain seats.

To gain seats there is one more criteria. The Republicans have to run competent candidates and build smart get-out-the-vote efforts. Please no Murdochs or Walsh who say stupid things.

that the Democratic Party brand is just terrible right now.

 

Worse, it's toxic - absolutely, positively, T-O-X-I-C. Their "brand" is wreckage. Anyone still involved in pushing their agendas is a stone cold fool.

The only way democrats win elections is when they convince the people they are not who they really are. It worked twice with Obama. He could not have pulled this off without the Media being totally in the tank for him. God I miss democrats like “Scoop” Jackson, and Sam Nunn, they were patriots.

Oddly enough Trump is the creation of the media. In the Republican primaries they gave him thousands of hours of relatively good coverage. They wanted him to be the Republican candidate as they deemed him easily defeat-able. To their absolute horror they found out they selected one of only three candidates that could defeat Hillary. The other two were Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. The media recognized Cruz as a mortal threat and went after him and Rubio. The media gave us Trump and to their horror he won.

[mrsmith]

Yep.
From the WashPost article “Democrats must embrace ideological diversity “
IE: lie.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

+1 on that - as for the democrats, their primary emphasis continues on nuanced BS, like who uses what bathroom, boys on girls teams and in their bathrooms, girls on boys teams and in their bathrooms and so forth. People don't care about that #*&@. The constituency is focused on if they will be able to earn a paycheck and if it will be enough to cover the bills, whether they will have access to competent health care and be able to afford it, whether or not some maniacs will blow up a shopping mall with them and their family inside. The democrats are not addressing those concerns. It doesn't matter how they package or re-package their rhetoric - they're not sincere, and people know it.

You are correct, but I sense in your review that you think Cruz or Rubio could have won. I thought early on that ANY GOP candidate could beat Cankles, but seeing how they went after Trump, I don’t think anyone but Trump could have survived.

They would have had seventeen mistresses out for Ted-—whether or not a single one was true. They would have hung Rubio’s debt problems around his neck. The difference is, both those guys at some point would have gone soft, apologized, or otherwise caved. Not Trump.

But I agree, the media and Dems all thought Trump would be easy to beat because as always, they didn’t pay attention to what the voters really wanted.

[LS]

But we’re finally at a point where I don’t think the Dems CAN “address their concerns.” You can only go so far into transgender bathrooms until you lose millions of people who just think it’s nuts. You can only saddle up to BLM for so long before it’s clear you hate cops, hate law and order, and hate “white.”

So I don’t think the Dems are even capable as of 2016 of addressing these issues. This is a big, big difference from the party of 2006, which got its butt beat, immediately recalibrated and ran a bunch of vets. Only a couple-—Webb for ex.-—won, but all of the 20 or so they ran in primaries won their primaries. It at least gave them, temporarily, an image that they didn’t hate America.

Then they elected ZEro, and that image went right out the window.

I the RINOs don’t manage to handle repealing ObamaCare and doing Tax Reform, the Dims probably will pick up seats because of voter apathy on our side.

[Kaslin]

They can pick up seats too, if many on our site want to repeat the midterm election of 2006, where so many on our side wanted to teach the gop a lesson. I will never forgive them if they will allow the repeat and let the rats to take over. And you know what will happen if they do. There will be no reelection for President Trump and the rats will succeed in filing impeachment charges against him.
