Yes, it it really

IS a heartwarming story!

Alas, the bitter truth is that Democrats will very likely have NO problem ginning up cash, both from legitimate sources and clandestine ones.

Still, it is good news that we are seeing the Rs kick butt on such a level right now.

There is this, though: I remember reading years ago that more than half of all funding for Democratic campaigns came from Jews. With the open anti-Semitism of the current Democratic Party, it may be that their most important source of revenue is finally drying up. That would be great to see.

I personally think that Josh Shapiro is, right now, (intellectually) by far their strongest candidate. Buuut…

He is also very Jewish. He even volunteered in the Israel Defense Force (IDF) to go kill Muslims and to preserve the Jewish state.. Given how much the Democrats party depends on Muslims (<cough>Michigan<cough>) I have a hard time seeing him getting the nomination.

I can see, should he get the nomination, conservatives printing flyers “lauding” his status as an IDF veteran and handing them out in Muslim areas!

The problem is

that NONE, not one of the known potential Democrat candidate for President are even the slightest bit palatable. They are almost all jokers or bums or both.

Shapiro seems to be more able, but he has no chance whatsoever of getting the nomination given that he is Jewish. If you think the Minnesota Arabs are going to vote for a former IDF volunteer like him, you are grossly deluded.

And who else is there on that list is not a complete buffoon? Let me answer that for you: no one. AOC is regularly shown to be dumber than a sack of hair. Maybe the proverbial “white knight” will come running to the rescue of the Democrats. Yeah, maybe…

On one side, the AOC and Bernie Sanders faction — ideologically pure, energizing to the base, and reliably terrifying to the moderate and independent voters who actually decide general elections. On the other, the Newsom-Shapiro-Beshear wing, which offers a slightly more electable posture in the general, but lacks a coherent unifying message beyond “We’re not Donald Trump.”

Yes, it is

pretty dang clear who is moving forward and who is frantically trying to defend. Even CNN is seeing it so clearly that they feel compelled to make note of it.

This is a long-term slog, and we’re talking about far more than just November of this year. The writing is on the wall. Democrats are going to have a tough time recapitulating the artificial majorities of the last 50 years or so. So no matter what–even if they re-take the House in November <shudder>, these rulings are not good news for Democrats. Regular voters are NOT appreciative of Democrats monomaniacal pursuit of their “white whale” Trump.

Well, I HOPE that

is true. And indeed, it should be. But it turns out that everything is not always as it should be…

Two former campaign managers for former President Barack Obama warned that the Democratic Party is a mess ahead of the 2028 presidential election, due to not knowing what they stand for.

Yep, it’s something

that no longer exists. you know, like the Dodo bird or the Passenger Pigeon. The moderate Democrat is extinct. The “Blue dogs”have gone the way of the Dodo. They only exist in memory and in the opium dreams of a few dead-enders.

Could it

happen?

Democrats, do not ask for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee!

Enten began his analysis in the Southwest. “Arizona. How about Nevada? Republicans haven’t done this well since 2005 — oh my goodness gracious — at this, at this point in the cycle.” As he moved eastward, the numbers just kept getting better for the GOP. “North Carolina: I couldn’t find a point at which Republicans were doing better at this point in the cycle. It’s at least this century. It probably goes way back in the last century.” There was more: “And Pennsylvania, very similar: Republicans doing better at this point than at any point, at any point this century, at least as far as I could find.”

Of course, I want to emphasize the obvious caveats, that elections are more than a year away and things can change and let’s not get cocky, etc. But right now the GOP is kicking some major butt!

True, the Democrats

have fallen and they can’t get up. BUT, they certainly might in the next year. They look right now to be in very bad shape. But they may recover. In fact, history says it is probable. The “out” party almost always gains seats in the mid-terms.

That said, I’m not at all sure I would bet that way. We are in very different conditions than usual right now. And we, I think, are seeing a level of conservative enthusiasm that is not much in history. Not for mid-term, anyway. Right now, we are singing that we have never seen happened before. What does that mean? I don’t think we really know yet. We are kind of in uncharted waters.

After four years of the Biden administration, the Pew Research Center said the presidential electorate moved favoring Democrats by six points in 2020 to favoring Republicans by one point in 2024, with Republicans close to equal among under-30 voters. “For months now,” Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini notes, “We’ve observed a new trend in polling: the Democratic party’s favorability ratings have fallen below the GOP’s. That’s hardly ever happened before.”

Honestly, I don’t

see how it can go on for a lot longer. “Intensity” and “Popularity” are simply not the same thing. And Democrats all too often confuse one with the other.

And this brings us to the Democrats of 2025: A new Wall Street Journal poll showed a mind-blowing 63% of voters(!) now have an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party.

Only 33% have a favorable view. They’re an astonishing 30 points underwater! These are the worst polling numbers for the Democratic Party since 1990.

… Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, their high-intensity, low-popularity issues are festering absolutely EVERYWHERE. You see it with the trans issue, children and gender, and fairness in women’s sports. You see it with Israel, Hamas, and Gaza. You see it with the agenda of Zohran Mamdani, radical redistribution, and his quest for Castro-styled communism.

Democrat partisans are almost always very high intensity. The problem is that the Democrats suffer from very low popularity. The group of people who agree with them are incredibly noisy, but that is actually a small slice of the total population.
