An Interesting Perspective

On the surface, things did not go well for the Republicans on Tuesday. But there might be some light at the end of this tunnel. Some of the results are exactly what should have been expected. As of 2024, approximately 350,000 Virginia residents work in civilian federal jobs, why would they vote for a party that is cutting many of those jobs. Streamlining the government and making it more efficient are not popular ideas in northern Virginia.

On Wednesday, November 5th, PJ Media noted:

The Dems’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media will have a field day with this, loudly proclaiming a huge repudiation of President Trump. There’s no basis in reality for that. I am not at all surprised that things went poorly for Republicans in four states that voted for Kamala Harris last year. Voting Democrat wasn’t very popular last year, and it hasn’t gotten any cooler this year. My stomach isn’t going to be twisted into knots because people who voted to send the country down the leftist toilet last year are continuing to do so.

One of the things that I have been saying in the last year is that the Dems’ extremist behavior since the presidential election last year isn’t doing anything to win back the voters they have been losing. They have essentially been playing to a captive audience, one that enjoys being captive. So the audience was a lot louder on Tuesday night, it was still the same audience, nobody new showed up.

Two of the races will make it nigh on impossible for the Dems to come up with a sales pitch to win back those who felt that the party had become uncomfortably extreme. Now the aforementioned commie jihadist will be front and center for the Democrats as the mayor of the biggest city in the country. Virginia Dems giving Jay Jones a pass for openly fantasizing about murdering Republicans isn’t going to make the case to flyover country Dems and independents that the party is making a return to normalcy. The only thing that they could have done worse in that regard is elect a drag queen serial killer to one of the offices up for grabs last night.

The Democrats have made a habit recently of showing that they have no basic principles when it comes to supporting candidates.

I Guess It Just Depends On How You Look At It

Yesterday The Daily Wire posted an article that highlighted something odd the President did after the Virginia election.

The article reports:

President Joe Biden refused to take any ownership in his party getting blown out in Virginia’s elections on Tuesday night when asked about the matter during a press conference on Wednesday, and he suggested that it was going to be harder to win moving forward because Donald Trump is not on the ballot.

Biden did not dispute the outcome of the elections, saying that “we all have an obligation to accept the legitimacy of these elections.”

“I was talking to Terry to congratulate him today,” Biden said, referring to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, who lost to Republican Glenn Youngkin. “He got 600,000 more votes than any Democrat ever has gotten. We brought out every Democrat [inaudible] there was. More votes than ever has been cast for a Democratic incumbent — I mean, not incumbent — a Democrat running for governor. And no governor in Virginia has ever won when he is of the same — where he or she is the same party as the sitting president.”

The statement about the legitimacy of the elections leads me to wonder if the Democrats were willing to give up Virginia in order to cover up their cheating in New Jersey. There are already stories coming out of New Jersey about voting machines that would not let people vote for the Republican candidate.

The idea that it is going to be harder to win moving forward because Donald Trump is not on the ballot is interesting. Frankly, I don’t think Donald Trump is the problem. It is becoming more obvious that whether you like him or not, Donald Trump’s policies worked–the economy grew, the middle class grew, wages were higher, and gasoline prices and inflation were lower. Also, our borders were secure. None of those things are currently true. As the rising gasoline and food prices begin to impact American families, Donald Trump may be the least of the Democrat party’s worries.
