Lost Dems Flail in Disarray; We Savor the Writhing

It seems somewhat impolite to revel in the immense, complex array of difficulties that America’s Democrats have created for themselves in recent times.

So, that's exactly what we’re going to do this week. It’s wicked fun. And we have suffered through all the media-facilitated hoaxes, impeachments, scandals, coverups, lies, and devious schemes. 

It’s summertime for the Right.

Like those creepy-thick cobwebs that lace the attics of abandoned barns, Democrats’ sticky ongoing troubles have been building nonstop in recent years. Northeastern elites who advocate far-left policies have consistently lost. So, if they’re so bright, why do they think even more failed silliness could win?

And despite all their attempts to distract – the shouts, stunts, and political aerobics — these clumsy clowns can’t seem to find an exit. Let alone a competent potential leadership younger than 80 with a credible mental competence that isn’t impressively out of touch with most Americans.

You watch! Pretty soon, these lefties and their media cohorts will attempt to change the narrative from the flaming wreckage of their 2024 to the meaningless hypothetical of who’s hot for 2028, assuming Trump the Terrible can't thump them again.

Elected Democrats have brought this all on themselves through vacuous policies, stunts, lies, false narratives, and just plain stubborn ignorance. Did you notice, they’re still blaming last year's loss on a failure to go far enough Left? 

The delusion still inhabits Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor who gets a big assist for helping Kamala Harris lose. Crazy Hands says his selection as VP partner was based on the appeal of his manliness to white males.

A spring CNN poll found the party’s favorability has dropped 20 points since Biden took office, now squatting at 29 percent, lowest in 33 years. Only a third are optimistic about their party’s future.

Forget the Brylcreem spokesman steering California toward the iceberg or the Weight Watchers exhibit waddling along as Illinois governor, polls have been showing the top candidate to lead the Dem ticket again in 2028 is – Wait for it! — the too-familiar Queen of the Spoken Salad Bar.

To the nation's relief, Kamala Harris now seems to have her glazed eyes on the governor's chair in California, as if that state doesn't have enough problems thanks to Democrat officeholders. 

A new, little-known poll has found now that the leading name for Democrats' 2028 presidential nomination is Pete Buttigieg. As convincing evidence of the former mayor's new intentions, he has now removed the no longer fashionable he/him pronouns from an updated bio.

Has it already been 10 years since one of their regular donors went Republican-rogue on Democrats? He unexpectedly shattered the political inheritance of a former Democrat president’s wife, served a stormy four-year White House apprenticeship as a political rookie while tilting the Supreme Court to the right, thanks to a GOP Senate. 

He lost a disputed reelection bid to an aged Joe Biden, a Dem dufus clearly sliding into dementia as the oldest-ever POTUS.

By all expectations, Donald J. Trump then should have shuffled off into historical obscurity as a short-lived political comet and proof that Washington’s stodgy, aged political establishments always win in the end.

To quote the father of the infomercial, the late Ron Popeil: “Wait — there’s more!”

Despite coordinated federal and state lawfare against Trump designed to break him financially, mentally, and politically, he not only survived financially, mentally, and politically — Trump held his base together and captured dissatisfied chunks of Barack Obama’s voter coalition last November. And it’s still growing!

Just enduring those ordeals is impressive for any chief executive.

Trump returned to the Swamp wiser, smarter, and maybe even vengeful with an enlarged league of savvy loyalists. His return has been overwhelming by design, flooding the zone with new policies and recissions of Biden’s, leaving liberal judges as the only opposition defense. 

Team Trump produced the most productive first 100 White House hours in the nation’s history and the most productive first 100 days. Now, they’re working on a record first 200 days, and not just domestically.

To show the world how imaginative they are as a political alternative, during a presidential address to the nation, Democrat legislators acted like contestants on the 1960s "The Newlywed Game," holding up signs – “No King” and “Musk Steals.”

As one result, Democrat Party approval at best now sits at 37 percent. Trump’s job approval is steady but reveals some Democrats shifting his way, which you won't read much about. Those are among the 70 percent who told 2020 pollsters they were voting against Trump, not for Biden.

More importantly, voters who believe the country is going in the right direction have surged from 17 percent at the nadir of the previous presidency to 42 percent today. 

While voters’ opinion on their own personal finances now stands at a four-year high.

To guide the troubled party through its defeat, the Democratic National Committee did not elect a popular unifying figure with fresh ideas as its new chair. Who would that have been anyway?

Members chose a state chair from Minnesota, an atypical state and the only one to go against the Reagan landslide in 1984. The new DNC chair’s less-than-exciting initial rallying cry was: “We’re not dead as a party.” 

Then, only months later, the DNC moved to unelect David Hogg as a brand-new, but divisive vice-chair. 

Joe Biden’s feckless presidency was disturbing and scary, with his leviathan legacy of tawdry lies and self-inflicted disasters:

  • The wanton spending of $5 trillion. 
  • The resulting nine percent inflation, highest since the last one-term Democrat president 40 years ago. 
  • The lethally botched Afghan exit. 
  • The Chinese spy balloon with a Free Pass to scan the entire nation. 
  • The lucrative sale of the nation’s oil reserves and failure to refill it.
  • His sad son’s sordid sales of influence off Daddy. 
  • The suspicious transfers of millions from China into Biden family shell companies. 
  • The secret censoring of conservatives on social media.
  • And, oh, don’t forget the willful admission of more than 10 million illegal immigrants, plus assistance spreading them throughout the country with little means of tracking.

Karma can be entertaining, as long as you’re a spectator. Biden is now off garbling more speeches for big bucks. BTW, who would actually pay to endure that?

What’s left behind are the media co-conspirators who helped hide the mounting mental and physical infirmities of the commander in chief and are now ever so earnestly explaining how misled they were for years as innocent messengers, in return for large book advances.

RedState, you probably noticed, has been detailing and explaining media’s dishonesty and intentional misleading for four-plus years! And now their appalling hypocrisy and chutzpah.

Eventually, today’s troubled loser party will recover, of course. A thriving democracy does need healthy competing political forces. Not by chance, Democrats are the world’s oldest surviving political party, approaching its 200th birthday in just three years. 

The Republican Party is 16 years younger but has produced more presidents, beginning with Abraham Lincoln. Both parties are political chameleons that morph to match changing times. For now, the Dem morph is constipated.

And do not forget, any president’s executive orders can be undone by the next chief executive's executive orders.

For now, the GOP should be gloat-free while remembering its own comeback achievements in the 1960s. The 1964 Republican ticket, led by Barry Goldwater, was annihilated by incumbent Democrat Lyndon Johnson.

Johnson captured 486 electoral votes to 52 by the GOP, which also trailed in the popular vote by 23 points. Many questioned if the party of Lincoln would survive.

However, in the ensuing midterms just 24 months later, Republicans took control of eight new governors’ offices, 47 new House seats, and three more Senate seats.

But wait, there’s more! Just two years after that, the “endangered” GOP took the White House, as it would for five of the next six presidential elections. 

Now, imagine what five terms of Kamala Harris/Joe Biden thinkalikes could do to this country, with a Democrat Party comeback starting Nov. 3, 2026.
