While I am in no way at all confident that the
Republicans will be able to come away from this November’s election having been
able to maintain their current majorities in Congress, I have, at least, become
somewhat encouraged to hear that at least it may be turning into more of an
uphill battle for the Democrats in their effort to assume control of one or
both houses of Congress. It was a
Monmouth Poll released on Wednesday that shows the heavily hyped Democrat
generic Congressional ballot advantage has virtually disappeared with the latest
poll indicating Democrat chances for major Congressional midterm gains are now trending
down.
The Monmouth University poll now shows Democrats with
only a “negligible edge” over Republicans for November’s Congressional midterm elections. The poll, conducted over three days almost
entirely before President Donald Trump’s well-received State of the Union
Address, shows 47 percent of respondents saying they would vote for a generic
congressional Democrat compared to 45 percent for a generic Republican, well
within the poll’s 3.5 percent margin of error. This figure is a massive shift from earlier
polls showing double-digit Democrat leads and fueling pundits’ talk of a “blue
wave” that could sweep Republicans from power.
The same polling agency found a 15 point generic
Democrat advantage using the same question only last month. Patrick Murray, MUPI’s director, gave some
context, noting generic polls’ volatility, but he confirmed that the figures,
coupled with the same poll’s finding of growing support for the tax cut the GOP
passed with no Democrat support, spells trouble for proponents of the “blue
wave” theory. He said, “The generic
Congressional ballot is prone to bouncing around for a bit until the campaign
really gets underway later this year. But Democrats who counted on riding
public hostility toward the tax bill to retake the House may have to rethink
that strategy.”
And the poll also showed a rather dramatic increase,
from 24 to 37 percent, of respondents who think America is now heading in the
“right direction.” Approval of President
Trump’s job performance also improved, matching Monmouth’s estimate from last
August at 42 percent, while respondents who thought Trump needed to be
impeached or compelled to leave office dropped three percent from July 2017 to
38 percent. And it’s a series of dramatically
narrowing numbers that have to do with the 2018 elections, over the last two
weeks, that make up the clearest indication yet that the much talked about “blue
wave” is not a foregone conclusion.
As I see it, the problem for the Democrats is that they
have nothing to run on. Identity politics works well with the base, but it
doesn’t translate to votes in the heartland.
Running on racism and all those phony subjects worked well in the past,
but after Americans elected the first black” President, it’s become more of a
hard sell. ‘Make America Great Again’
and America First was refreshing to the American people, and after seeing a
first year of Trump’s presidency in which people are getting pay raises, jobs,
and 401k are getting fatter by the day, I doubt the Democrats will be able to
beat that with the same cries of racism this and racism that.
And while I certainly don’t want to jinx us, I do think
that with the right conservative candidates the Republicans still have a pretty
good shot at actually gaining some seats.
Our paychecks and pension checks just got a little bigger and some of us
got bonuses, raises, and other benefits on top of that. Also, there will be more and better job
opportunities opening up in the coming months for many of us. Do we really want to go back to the days of a Democrat
inspired anemic growth rate of our economy? Do we
really want to see more and more illegal aliens and refugees pouring into our
country keeping wages down and endangering all of us? No!
Furthermore, do we really want this country to be turned
into another impoverished, crime-ridden, open-bordered, banana republic run
into the ground by a bunch of corrupt, tyrannical, Marxist, globalist kooks who
care far more about empowering themselves than they do about this country's
prosperity and/or sovereignty? The
choice is still in our hands, at least for a while. Since the arrival of Barry ‘O’ onto the scene
and with the sharp turn to the left made by the Democrat Party there has now
come to be so much riding on each and every election that we can ill afford to
allow the Democrats to ever regain any measureable amount of political power.
Given current demographic trends and plausible best
case scenarios regarding legal and illegal immigration in the U.S., 30 years
from now the U.S., as it exists to today, will cease to exist. While some in Western Europe are farthest
down the road to cultural suicide, the U.S. is the Western country farthest
down the road to demographic suicide, whites already are less than 65% of the
population. Countries like Sweden,
France, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium are breaking down sooner
than the U.S. simply because their police and policies regarding ‘law and
order’ are a joke and because they don't have the First and Second Amendments.
But in the end, we all are on the same sinking ship
and all President Trump is likely to be is little more than a speed bump on the
way to what is essentially inevitable. We
will be getting our own speed bumps in future elections but the very urgent and
VERY DRASTIC changes necessary to reverse current trends will most probably not
be able to be made and by the time people finally wake up it will already be too
late. And even if we were all to wake up
right now it may already be impossible to prevent what may already be a
foregone conclusion. I think of my
daughter and the world that she may have to contend with, and I worry.
Steny Hoyer still claims the Democrats have a 90%
chance of taking control of the House, but I recall polls that said Hitlery had
a 93% chance of becoming president. Thanks
to the booming Trump economy, the soaring Trump stock market, the Trump tax
cuts which the Democrats unanimously opposed and the Democrats foolishly
choosing ILLEGAL aliens over American citizens, I’d like to think that 2018 may
just be a pretty big year for Republicans with them adding several seats in
both the House and the Senate. But we’ll
have to wait and see. There’s a lot of time, politically speaking, until the
election. And a lot of things can still
happen.
But with that said, I’m told that the Democratic
National Committee (DNC) is in the red by roughly $4 Million. They spent much of the coffers over the
special elections and got mixed results. Fundraising is way down and without it they
can’t mobilize their base to go door to door and call centers. They have
heavily relied on the state-controlled media to get their message out but trust
in the media has fallen significantly and viewership is way down so they have a
big problem. With people going back to
work and a generally optimistic outlook on the future all these things put together
creates, at least on paper, what looks to be a perfect storm.
The Democrats have pit every possible group of
people against another, told certain groups that they will never succeed
because another group holds them down, and the only way to solve that is to ‘vote
for them.’ Hell, they even managed to
pit women against men. They weaponize
language, and tell anybody darker than printer paper that the evil right is
anti-immigrant, when all we want is a fixed immigration system that brings
people here who have something to offer. We are anti-illegal immigration, but somehow
that always turns into ‘they hate all colored people.’ But then, no surprise there, that’s just how
the Democrat Party operates these days.
