Will the Democratic Party Do Any Soul Searching?

It has been fascinating to witness the realignment of the Democratic and Republican parties over the last decade, particularly during the Biden/Harris years. The Republicans, once known as the party of the rich and elite, have become the party of the working class, opening its arms to a diverse range of people including different ethnicities, religions, and races. On the other hand, the Democratic party has emerged as the party of the wealthy and college-educated class. The people spoke loudly on November 5^th, with the popular vote going to Donald Trump, leaving Democrats wondering what went wrong. The answer is a lot, which begs the question – will the party do any soul-searching as a result of Trump’s unequivocal victory and try to earn the vote of the working class for future elections?

Americans Give Trump a Resounding Victory – Now the Swamp Must Allow Him to Govern

Today is a historic day. Donald Trump is the first president to win two non-consecutive presidential terms since President Grover Cleveland in 1892. He also is the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote since President Bush 20 years ago. This resounding victory presents a strong mandate to Washington D.C. – we want change!  We want a president who will give us lower prices and lower inflation. We want a president who will tap into our own natural resources, so we don’t have to depend on foreign tyrants for oil and gas. We want a president who will enforce our border with an immigration policy that does not allow millions of unknown foreigners and drugs to pour into our nation. We want a president who works for the benefit of the people, not for their own power or wealthy elites. Most importantly, we want a president who puts Americans first.

Trump Derangement Syndrome Escalates As Election Day Draws Near

Rant or Rave Wednesday

With election day less than a week away, people’s emotions are running high. Trump is outperforming all the polls compared to previous election cycles; however, given that anything can happen, and the Democrats are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to prevent a Trump victory, it would be foolish to assume that he’s got it wrapped up.

The best way to gauge how the presidential candidates are faring is to watch the RealClearPolitics poll, which utilizes the average of numerous polls to take into account potential biases or issues of any one individual poll. As of October 26^th, Trump is leading nationally by 0.1 points. Now, we keep hearing about how the polls in this election have a razor-thin margin but let me put this into perspective for you. At this point during the last two election cycles, Trump was losing nationally to Biden by 7.4 points and was losing to Clinton by 5.6 points. Keep in mind that he tends to generally underperform in the polls compared to actual election numbers. So, it is possible that President Trump could win the popular vote. This would be a huge feat as the last Republican to win the popular vote was George W. Bush 20 years ago. [Read more…] about Trump Derangement Syndrome Escalates
