The Democrats are having a rough year. The most recent CNBC polling reported a net -32% favorability rating, the worst since 1996.   It’s not surprising. They have no leader and no policies or moral authority. Just extremism, division and vociferous recriminations.

Possibly more serious, they pull PR stunts that push positions rejected by voters in the 2024 Presidential election. Like antics that support criminal illegal immigrants without a mention of their victims and disingenuous gerrymandering hypocrisy.

When the stunts backfire, Democrats resort to endless lies about Trump which grow larger as his successes pile higher. Lately, lies apparently aren’t enough. So, they bolster the fabrications with profane screaming, name-calling and threats. It’s doubtful that this behavior cuts a wide swath with voters.

Many of the congressional Democrats who rush to participate in this buffoonery have no legislative record that benefits their constituents.  Rather than representing their voters with positive legislation, they use their elected position as a social media platform. How these people got elected in the first place is a head scratcher.

What impact will all of this have on the 2026 mid-terms? Time will tell. But hope remains that voters will open the door and boot these Democrats through it.
