Far too often the amount of money raised by a specific
party or candidate is used as being a kind of barometer in determining who’s
likely to win an election. And with word
now coming that Democrat members and candidates for the House are bringing in
huge donations heading into the November midterm elections we’re being led to
believe that that would seem to indicate that Democrats are in a very good
position to retake control of Congress.
But I would tend to disagree.
And we’re also told by those who get paid to comment
on such things, that if the 2018 midterm elections were held today, the Republicans
could stand to lose 56 seats in the House, effectively handing over the
speaker’s gavel and committee chairmanships to Democrats. And while the Republicans, notably, have much less
debt than do the Democrats, we’re told that there is a ‘blue wave’ of Democrat
support now bubbling just below the surface in many areas all across the
country.
The ‘Cook Political Report’ recently released a
revised House ratings map for every congressional district in the U.S. Friday
and found that Democrats have a shot at up to 56 seats in November. Some 25 of those seats are in districts that
“Lean Republican,” meaning the race is seen as a competitive race, but
Republicans have a small advantage in those districts. Another 22 of the 56
districts are considered “Republican Toss Ups,” which means either party has a
chance of winning.
There are nine Republicans up for reelection this
cycle who are in districts that either lean Democrat or have a Democrat that is
“likely” to take the election. And there
are also fifty House Republicans who are said to be resigning, retiring or
seeking other office in 2018. Roughly 22
House members retire each election cycle, so to say the party is going through
a tumultuous period of change would not be an exaggeration. But I don’t think we should make it into
something bigger than it is.
And in an attempt to put these fundraising numbers into
some sort of perspective, I think it’s important to note that candidate Hitlery
raised
twice as much money as did candidate Trump and what exactly did it get her? Nothing more than another second place finish!
And while many of her supporters are still
feeling cheated nearly two years later, normal people are able to recognize the
fact that America dodged a rather sizable bullet in 2016 and breathe a healthy sigh
of relief.
And I think it also important to point out that all
the money in the world isn’t going to change the fact that the Democrat Party
has no platform, beyond ‘Impeach Trump’ and ‘Open Borders’ on which to
run. I would argue that these would be two
sure-fire losing campaign messages. And
I mentioned earlier, Hitlery raised $1 billion and still lost, proving the
point in rather spectacular fashion, that you can put financial lipstick on a pig,
but it doesn’t alter the fact that it’s still just a pig.
And I think it’s a rather bold statement to make the
claim that, “If the 2018 midterm elections were held today, Republicans could
stand to lose 56 seats in the House.” Because it means absolutely nothing in
what has become an environment of Democrat collapse, driven by a number of
growing movements, including the Red Pill movement and the #WalkAway movement
that has lifelong Democrats abandoning the Democrat Party in what has been
described as significant numbers.
We’re told that President Trump's approval among Hispanics
is up 10 percent during this “border separating, abolish ICE’ brouhaha, and
also that millennials are leaving the party in droves. There's a clear trend
here, and it's AWAY from the Democrat Party.
Spouting off financial numbers is completely useless when the party is
in such a state of philosophical collapse, which will eventually leave only the
most rabid of supporters, who are also the ones mostly likely to donate.
