"Ten months is an eternity in political time, but from today's vantage point, Democrats have to feel pretty good about their chances of delivering an electoral shellacking to President Donald Trump and his congressional allies in November. To be clear, this has very little to do with any change in the campaign strategy, policy thinking, or moral imagination of national Democrats."
"That's because the president and his party have loudly and aggressively pursued a highly divisive and unpopular agenda that has not only failed to deliver an improvement in the cost of living but has also given all of us front-row seats to a seemingly never-ending circus of laughably evil corruption, ugly authoritarian overreach, unsettlingly strange policymaking, and erratic economic stewardship."
An otherwise inert opposition party may nonetheless win an electoral landslide because of Donald Trump's destructive and hubristic governing record. The president and his party pursued a divisive, unpopular agenda that failed to lower living costs while exposing corruption, authoritarian overreach, erratic policymaking, and unstable economic stewardship. Democratic leadership has been timid, consultant-driven, and fixated on grocery prices while failing to counteract executive abuses. Trump shows no sign of moderating or recognizing his unpopularity, and MAGA-aligned members of Congress appear unlikely to reassert constitutional checks. Voter reaction to visible corruption and misgovernance creates a favorable environment for Democratic victories.
