What Is The Democrats Endgame?


President Trump has been in office now for just over a year and we have heard the same mantra from the Democrats. That narrative is a game of "Blame and Shame". Your game show hosts are a general mix of ne'er-do-wells from the somewhat lucid Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to the more mentally unstable Maxine Waters. It involves such shaming as calling Mr. Trump mentally unstable, unfit for office, colluding with Russia, an illegitimate president, a general obstructionist of justice, a sexual predator, and lest we forget to mention, the new Hitler. Yes, the Democrats are not lacking in their creativity skills. But what is their endgame? Surely, they can't think this game of blame and shame will get them back in power?

History says that the Democrats do have a good chance of gaining seats and momentum in the midterm elections. History is usually a good guide and most bettors in Vegas look for trends. Midterms tend to bring much lower voter turnout than presidential elections and also tend to bring losses in Congress for the party in control of the White House. Here is the historical data:



The Democrats game plan is to suppress as many votes as possible through a continuous game of blame and shame. With midterms already bringing fewer people to vote their hope is to get those voters who are Republicans, constitutional conservatives, independents, evangelical Christians, and Libertarians so fed up and disgusted that they stay home. It is a war of attrition in their minds. It is a reasonable plan of attack when you don't have anything else to run on. The truth is that the Democrats are a party that is devoid of any ideas, character, or moral compass. Their only ideas are that socialism and redistribution of wealth are the path to success. Unfortunately, when you look to California, Illinois, and New York you find that the progressive policies of the Democrats have been a complete and utter failure.


Their plan is going up against an economy that is growing and expanding. The Dow is up to record numbers, unemployment rates are at historic lows, and the new tax cuts will continue to work through the system to undermine the Democrats strategy. People will continue to see these positive impacts in their lives and that President Trump and Republicans have done some good. How much will the positive effects offset the negative blame and shame? That is going to be the interesting thing to watch here.

The wildcard to watch will be the immigration debate. If President Trump and Republicans cave on this issue and give amnesty to illegal aliens then they will lose the midterm elections on two fronts. The first front are those independents and conservatives who came out in big numbers to vote for President Trump will stay home because they will feel their voices were rejected. The immigration reform issue was the biggest part of the Trump platform and giving in to Democrats with a plan of amnesty will push those Trump supporters away from the polls this year. The second front is that amnesty opens up a whole new set of voters to shore up the Democrats voter base. Through a continued game of blame and shame, enthusiastic leftist voters, and illegal alien voters the Democrats will have the momentum to take back power and edge closer to the White House in 2020.

This year is a crucial election year. All you need to do is look back to the 2010 midterms. President Obama and the Democrats pushed through a trillion dollar stimulus package and Obamacare in their first two years of full control. Had the Republicans not made huge gains in the midterms that year we most certainly would have had a cap and trade bill and more rammed through Congress in 2011-12. It will be imperative that conservatives show up and try to shore up the House and Senate. As I have mentioned in previous pieces, the efforts needed to change some of these establishment Republican seats into solid principled conservative seats is critical this year. Congress holds the real power in Washington and the Senate is where we need some serious conservative statesmen to turn the tables. The Democrats are betting on the trends of history and shaming people in the heartland to stay home this year. That is their endgame. The question is will you throw a wrench in their plan like you did in 2016?

The Interesting Quandary For Democrats And Biden

Image
The Democrats have a dilemma. Joe Biden leads the polls for the Democratic Party presidential nomination as he officially announces his candidacy. The barrage of attacks already began even before he officially put his hat in the ring. When you are perceived as the leader the long knives usually come out. The issues revolve around Biden being just a tad too friendly and invasive around women and little girls. Those pictures and video clips have been around for years now but recently a few women have come forward to the press to highlight their own uncomfortable experiences around Joe. But Biden has much deeper problems than being too friendly with his hands and mouth. The deeper problems involve pay-for-play and obstruction of justice. As journalist Peter Schweizer has highlighted in his book, "Secret Empires: How The American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends," Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, have some serious questions to answer invol

An Open Letter To President Obama

Image
Dear President Obama, In your commencement address you delivered on Sunday, May 15th, 2016, to the graduating class at Rutgers University, you made a statement that is quite disingenuous. You said, and I quote:  "In fact, by almost every measure, America is better and the world is better than it was 50 years ago or 30 years ago or even eight years ago." Now, I do understand that your worldview and my worldview are vastly different, but let's put that aside for the moment and just examine your statement in a fair and balanced analysis. Just the facts, Mr. President. No spin. I will begin with the Iranian Nuclear Deal that you and your administration negotiated. Just this deal alone has made America and the world much more unsafe and worse off than eight years ago.  By allowing Iran access to billions of dollars and appeasing a nation that has continually called America, "The Great Satan", you have allowed them to funnel that money into continuing their nu

How The Left Uses History To Undermine A Republic

Image
By now, most people have heard the liberals comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler. One can assume this is due to Trump's immigration reform policies, his stance on Muslims and Muslim refugees, his ongoing conflicts with the mainstream media and print journalism, and his campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again". The more interesting analysis is why they would exactly do this. There are a couple reasons one can conclude for this. One reason would be they are not well-versed in German history and have just a cursory knowledge of NAZI Germany and thus don't honestly know the facts and truth of history. A second reason may be that they do have a full-fledged knowledge of the NAZI's and are just playing fast and loose with the truth and facts in order to paint a false narrative in the minds of Americans. With the dumbing down of America over the last several years through our failing education system, it is quite plausible that just incurring this image of H
