Frequently Wrong, Never In Doubt

As a marketing and communications consultant I keep it real for my clients. I will do the same here. Caveat here is this can change with attention. Some immediately, others are more baked in and call for some serious self reflection by the Democratic Party. We have learned more about the political landscape in the past ten years than ever in due to the transparency of Republicans regarding their true intentions. By Elevating Trump they essentially gave up the game and decided live with it. Now it could be said Republicans paid a price by what happened Tuesday. Arguably true regarding this cycle, to a point. I don’t they they suffered as much as warranted given all the negatives they took on. After all, their party essentially sided with an overthrowing of the government. I see some daylight for them down the road if Democrats don’t address some foundational changes in voting habits.

1. The merchants of power behind the Republican Party are officially dumping Trump. They never cared much for their useful idiot anyway. He served his purpose. They found his successor down in Florida. A new Dark Lord in Ron DeSantis.

2. Democrats are incrementally losing Hispanic voters. It’s happened the last 4 election cycles.

3. Younger voters turned out in higher numbers than usual because there were things at stake they cared about, abortion and climate. It’s not a block that Democrats can count on consistently however.

4. We learned that Florida and Ohio are gone in the foreseeable future for Democrats in national elections. Tim Ryan was the best candidate Democrats will ever run in OH yet he got beat by 10 points by a phony lightweight. Those states are not swing states.

5. It appears white voters aren’t ready to elect black senators in predominantly white population states like Wisconsin. Mandela Barnes was undeniably superior to Johnson in every possible way a human can be.

6. White women in the suburbs now reliably vote Republican. it’s a problem for Democrats.

7. Arizona is now a reliable swing state for Democrats.

8. What happened in 2020 in Georgia seems to be an anomaly. It returned to it’s normal voter profile in 2022. That Walker is almost tied with Warnock is the tell.

10. Texas has a terrible Governor and most unpopular Senator (maybe person) in America. Beto is as good a candidate as Democrats have anywhere and he can’t make a dent in Texas. Texas is still off the table for Democrats.

Thanks for stopping by.
