The Democrats' midterm Achilles heel?

To read this article, you'd think that Democrats nationwide have a problem with Hispanics. That's right. It isn't that Republican House and Senate candidates will win a majority of the Hispanic vote. It's that they'll win a greater percentage of Hispanic votes nationwide.

As stated in the article, this isn't just about Cuban-Americans in South Florida. The article said "To underscore that point during his slideshow in the NRSC conference room, Anderson flashed a quote from Democratic pollster David Shor. One important thing to know about the decline in Hispanic support for Democrats is that it was pretty broad,” Shor told New York magazine, no doubt to the delight of Republicans. 'This isn’t just about Cubans in South Florida. It happened in New York, California, Arizona and Texas. Really, we saw large drops all over the country.'"

For years, Democrats thought that they could count on Hispanics voting for Democrats with super-sized majorities. The GOP changed that by changing themselves. Hispanic voting trends are changing, which upsets the Democrats' longterm blueprint.

One thing that today's Democrats handed to Republicans is the growth of socialism. The ascendant wing of the Democratic Party is the socialist wing. Republicans are hammering that point hard and often:

Democrats think that Jan. 6th and amnesty will win the day:

The presentation comes as Rubio faces a Senate challenge from Florida Rep. Val Demings, one of the many 2022 Democratic candidates making a point of Republicans’ efforts to block the creation of a congressional commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

Other issues are at the forefront of voters’ minds, Rubio and Scott said, pointing to polling that showed 72% of Hispanics agreed that “we need to control the border” and “stop the surge of illegal immigration.” Nearly half of those voters, according to NRSC numbers, said the border crisis made them “less likely to support Democrats” in the midterms.

Saying that these aren't positive signs for Democrats is understatement. Joe Biden's budget screams open borders. Further, Biden can't turn away from his immigration position. Most importantly, House Democrats aren't interested in turning away from open borders.

Joe Biden's agenda has put Democrats in a difficult position for 2022. Democrats shouldn't be surprised to find out they've experienced another shellacking in 2022.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
