Why November’s starting to look like a ‘red tsunami’: Dems have nothing on voters’ top concerns

You could sense the giddiness in the press coverage over the summer about the Democrats’ chances in the midterms. President Joe Biden will upend historic norms, the cheerleaders said. Pop the champagne and spend some more government money!

The devastating Jan. 6 testimony and the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade seemed to cement the narrative — Democrats would keep Congress or at least the Senate.

But as Election Day has gotten closer, voters started paying attention and realized that’s all Dems had. Every ad was about abortion or Donald Trump, even as inflation raged, crime ravaged and the border remained wide open.

You can see the mad scramble as candidates realize what went wrong. They’re flip-flopping on defunding the police, Biden is telling Venezuelans they can’t come in and he gave a speech Friday where he ludicrously claimed to be a fiscal conservative.

They’re not fooling anyone. The Democrats have no plan to fix the issues that matter most to Americans. You see it even in New York, as Republican Lee Zeldin has pulled even with Kathy Hochul, an empty-suited governor whose vision for the state is . . . nothing. In the face of rising crime, she won’t even consider changing the disastrous no-bail law.

Seventeen days until an incredibly important midterm election, and there’s a red wave rising. Let’s hope it’s a tsunami.

This is exactly what happens when you delude yourselves as a party thinking that everyone’s top concerns are climate change and abortion and ignore the fact that it’s the ECONOMY, CRIME and the WIDE OPEN BORDER.

Only if our side turns out. Don't forget to encourage those you know to get out and vote.

Check this out: Real Clear Politics: Polls: Dixon vs. Whitmer (Michigan Governor)

Shows Whitmer with a three point lead. That's less than the margin of error and conservative voters are often under-represented in polls.

Thus, even RCP's ranking and projection (RCP tends to lean somewhat left-ish) has the ranking as a toss-up and a probable GOP pick up.

As Appliance Brad told me in email: Michigan rarely fails to re-elect the incumbent. This may be one of those rare instances.

Let us hope so!

Washington, mail in ballots for 18 years
California, the Dems control everything in the .gov.
New Mexico, they are also in full control of that government.
Colorado
NY and NJ,
Possibly Oregon.

4/5 of the mailers I get are treating abortion as the only issue. The SCOTUS has already said it's a state by state decision so why are they using it as an issue in the House & Senate races? Because low-information voters are either zealots or idiots.
