Democrats’ Exultation Is Fraught With Challenges

Predictably, the TDS-afflicted are exultant at the Democrats’ election success. Historically, midterm elections favour those in opposition and November 3 was no exception.

Democrat President Clinton lost 54 seats and nine senators in 1994; Obama lost 63 seats and nine senators in 2014. In contrast, Trump’s losses are not as bad: 44 seats and possibly 8 senators.

What is going to be interesting is the auditing of the results by the DHS since Trump is emphatic that national security depends on election integrity. The manipulation of voting machines, which count the ballots, is well known and can be remotely conducted.

Two states are top of the list for investigation. How did Democrat Socialist Talarico obtain one million more votes in Texas than Kamala Harris? How is it that all nine major statewide offices went Democrat, from the Governor to the Public Accounts Comptroller, when Trump won 56% of the Texan vote in 2024? The answers may stem from the registration of 2,9 million new voters without proof of citizenship.

How did every county in Kansas go blue when, for over 90 years, the Republican Party has dominated that state?

While Republican candidates failed to communicate the message of Trump’s transition of the economy, the gain of over 700,000 new jobs, $12 trillion in new investments, secure borders and the lowest crime rate in a century, the Democrat message was fraught with contradiction and political amnesia.

Under Biden, fuel and grocery costs, unemployment, crime and the inflation rate were highest since Carter’s presidency. Then, of course, Biden enabled 10 million illegals to gatecrash the country and placed many of them on social welfare at the expense of bona fide American citizens.

For the Democrats to hail their victory as a reprieve from “authoritarianism” is outrageous. Under Biden, they weaponised the DOJ and denounced Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists,” violated First Amendment rights, censored opposition to globalism and wokeism, denied parental rights on school and health issues, violently invaded Trump’s private home and subjected him to baseless charges and convictions.

Yet within hours of taking control of Congress, fuelled by hate and vindictive intent, Senator Elissa Slotkin and other Democrats promised to hound, prosecute and impeach the heads of the Trump Administration and reverse its policies. That is what the Democrats are calling a “victory for democracy.”

However, the 67 votes required in the Senate for impeachment are beyond the Democrats’ reach, so their stunts will amount to political theatre. As Florida Republican Congressman Randy Fine says: “The Democrats can spend the next two years investigating and impeaching and wasting their mandate and then be thrown out in two years, or they can try to propose constructive policies.” [Newsmax, November 6].

In any case, apart from their un-American, anti-Trump agenda, the starkly conflicting ideologies within the bloated Democrat caucus guarantee division.

As for Trump, he has a history of resilience and the ability to make deals that serve his ends. Besides, he has the prerogative of the executive powers of the presidency, which will allow him to sustain his mission. Overall, the Democrats’ exultation is fraught with challenges.
