I agree, it's bad for her and her corrupt ways of doing things, but not for the broader party. Nonetheless, would help the Dems if they stopped appeasing the Jihad Squad.

Actually Rick Scott released a long series of agenda points.


And the House Republicans are ready to roll.


It's only globalist lackey McConnell who puts a bad face on it, and I'd take even his decrepit turtle-looking ass over Biden.

It's objectively bad for Democrats.


If even deep blue districts are tired of "Progressives" (who have undoubtedly taken over the Party agenda), imagine how purple districts are going to react. A lot of "Progressives" are going on to the general election.


And even if "moderates" are nominated, the entire Party now stinks of the Green New Deal and inflation.


You just can't put the tooth paste back in the tube.


In any event, it's not going to take long to find out who's correct here.

More Democrats like Abigail Spanberger and Stephanie Murphy, and fewer like Omar and other Squad members would greatly benefit the party and result in better policy outcomes as well.

Spanberger has literally voted with Biden 100% of the time.


Look it up.


The only distinction between the Progressives and the so-called "moderates" is rhetoric, their actions are in lockstep.


Here's the reality: After the Republicans blow the Dems out of the water this November, all that will be left of the Democrats is a Progressive rump state because all the more reasonable districts will have gone Republican. (Hopefully including mine.)


So the Dems are on track to becoming an even more looney tunes Party, and will be consigned to the wilderness for quite some time.


Glorious.

The problem is most other Dems aren't Illness Omar, and they're not rallying around her the way the GOP is rallying around stupid theories about stolen elections that most Americans don't believe.


There's strong demand in this country for more drilling, fewer business regulations, stronger border security, and a basic ability to get things done. But the GOP is drowning out that message with tin foil hat theories about stolen elections. I keep waiting for the RNC, Nat'l Republic Senate Committee, and top GOP strategists to get the policy messages out, but their messages seem to be bouncing off the heads of the tin foil hats.


Illness Omar is bad for Dems, but nowhere near as bad as the out-of-touch nonsense GOP candidates across the country keep broadcasting.

For the past 28 years, every POTUS, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump, began his term with a majority and then lost it. I will be surprised if the trend does not persist.

.

nah, the Democrats rally on worse things like the lies and b.s. from recession, crime, border, vaccine and new lower inflation power spending grab bill that has nothing to do about inflation and the list is long.

The problem is democrats have their heads so much up their a$$es they can't smell anymore their b.s.

I'm sure voters are believing the Democrats lie that this isn't a recession and accept the new Democrat definition. Thanks for the laugh.

Another DNC talking point.


The fact is the Republicans are about to enjoy the largest House majority since WW2.


The Dems never bother to tell you that part.


And that's thanks to the fact the Dems had a net loss of House Seats in 2020, the same year we are to believe that Biden won.


The Dems have been losing house seats for the last four years, and that's about to accelerate.

It will be a stretch for the GOP to gain the largest majority since WWII

Republicans winning seats in the House and losing the White House isn't any type of stretch considering the Democratic majority heading into 2020 and a bunch of the GOP gains were GOP leaning seats to begin with and/or seats they lost in 2018 and won back.
