The defender and protector of leftist politics, CNN’s Chris Cillizza, is having a meltdown over the 2022 mid-term prospects for Democrats, calling the economic situation “disastrous for Democrats’ 2022 chances.”
Cillizza is referencing the cumulative effect of high inflation, high gas prices, a negative GDP outcome for the first quarter, and now the latest Gallup polling data:
In the latest Gallup poll, conducted April 1-19, four in five U.S. adults rate current economic conditions in the country as only fair (38%) or poor (42%), with few describing conditions as excellent (2%) or good (18%). Furthermore, 76% of Americans say the economy is getting worse, 20% say it is improving, and 3% think it is staying the same. (read more)
As CNN shares, “if things stay roughly where they are today — in terms of economic measures like GDP and CPI and Americans’ perceptions of the state of the economy — Democrats will experience a cataclysm at the ballot box this fall. The question won’t be whether they hold their paper-thin majorities in the House and Senate, but rather how big the electoral hole will be that they have to try to dig out from over the coming decade.” (link)
Demoncrats and RINOs went “full retard”.. As Robert Downey Jr.’s character said in “Tropic Thunder” and there ain’t any coming back from that. Unfortunately, that may hold true for the rest of us as well.
You NEVER go full retard.
On our AC diagnostic gauges above 500 psi it says retard. I always kinda laughed because they are only rated for 600 max. Later I learned that it didn’t mean what I thought, it means retard, “back off”, it’s gonna blow up. Not KYAG R.
And the guy who came up with that gauge is still smilling.
Obviously he doesn’t give a shit about the economy. His side hates prosperity when it leads to success of the right.
Yep and it leads to independence, which they cannot tolerate.
My question: Will Mr. Cilizza and Company realize that Socialism/Corrupt Crony Capitalism/Communism/Totalitarianism can never work?
Will they have an epiphany that Conservative virtues (NOT “values”) are what the country was built upon, were the basis for its rise, and that the gradual abandonment of those virtues starting c. 120 years ago under “Progressivism” is the cause for our current wandering in the desert of Debt, Denial, and Doddering Dystopia under The Manchurian Marionette?
NAH! They will undoubtedly think that what our hemorrhaging society needs – in the words of Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber – is “another good bleeding”!
For those who do not know the reference:
Who in their right mind would believe even one statistic from any poll since they’re all controlled by the deep state. They put everything out for a reason. The question is, what’s the reason? To keep us angry (to what end?). To keep us distracted from the real crimes and criminals? To make us live in fear and believe there’s no hope, that they control every outcome and there’s nothing we can do about it? I don’t have their playbook which makes me just as reactionary as everyone else. When do we become proactive? When do outlets like CTH start calling out the real criminals behind this whole scheme and not just the puppets.(Biden, Gates, Schwab, Obama, politicians on both side of the aisle are puppets) We all know who the puppets are already. Why belabor the point. Yes we know these people hate us.
Spot on! 100%
They distract us so we don’t realize that we are in the majority and that our overwhelming numbers could overwhelm them.
Many of us are proactive, having extracted ourself from the economic stranglehold the government has on the people required self sustaining food production, still somewhat connected by electricity expense but working on that as well.
But wait it’s ok Comrades…the new Minister of Truth Nina Jack-O-Witz has deemed this Gallup Poll to be Russian Disinformation and a conspiracy. All is well.
Who are this 20%? Seriously? This number in itself proves why polls are worthless.
20% indicates just how many idiots and brainwashed fools there are out there.
In urban Oregon the number is much higher. Covid opened my eyes to how many imbeciles surround me.
Who in the world are the 20 % who think the economy is good or excellent? They must be scamming the government, or something.
Many feed off the govt. Some of which are corporate welfare who never let a disaster go to waste. For example the Fed Reserve bought ETSs created by Black Rock as part of the covid recovery.
Silicon Valley, Northern Virginia, Seattle, Hyde Park, VT, CT, RI…folks in such places do very WELL in this economy.
The gobermnt workers thar received a 21% increases in perks!
300? I pay 50$
Normally this would bode very poorly for democrats but remember from Joke Bidens own mouth he said they have to most extensive system of voter fraud in place that ever existed. I believe that democrats along with the Dominion have infiltrated and fixed the election systems in America and most likely every other nation on the planet. They control who wins and who loses, the people may as well be staying home as the actual votes mean nothing. Between ballot box stuffing and adjusting vote counts in the tabulation machines and our judicial system refusing to intervene and enforce the law, it’s 100% RIGGED!
Their playbook is fraud, propaganda and fear.
CONgress!!
The entire country knows the Democrats are a disaster.
What’s going to happen when they retain the House and Senate?
You know that’s coming.
We’re already there. WW3, sky high inflation. Coming next – food shortages.
Think Mexico!! Land of the Free!!
Who are the 24%?
I met a neighbor yesterday, retired couple in their very late 80s, he’s retired from the State. They were still howling about Trump and Scott Walker and Republicans et al. Then it was on to gas prices and how The Rich are colluding to keep the price up. On and on. But they’re driving their one-day-old GMC diesel truck, every available feature, likely $75-80K. Living the high life on the taxpayer dime, yet Bitch, bitch, bitch. Unreal.
“…retired from the State.” I assume Wisconsin, and I assume that Wisconsin state bureaucrats have the usual massively generous pension plan.
Public-school teachers here in Ohio are exempt from Social Security taxes…because decades ago they were able to get the legislature to erect a pension plan which was much more lucrative than Social Security ever would be!
They will cheat. They know they can and although there will be many that understand that they’ve been cheated, nothing will change.
Exactly, if the democrats were really worried about losing their majority they would be working feverishly to fix problems. They are continuing to damage the country day by day at an increasing pace. That tells me cheating will be off the scale and they probably have some other surprises coming.
In the grand scheme of things, Leftists despise chaos. They hate the chaos of poverty but equally deplore someone making “too much” money. Bottom line: they want to control all outcomes in their insane efforts to create a utopian paradise. In that effort, they discount human nature as the causative factor at both ends of the continuum. Hunan beings simply refuse to be controlled. It’s in our DNA. We are hard-wired for freedom of choice.
All they worry about is staying in power. Burn it all down I am done with all of it and them
And staying out of prison.
They’r worried about the elections but will they stop pushing the DNC policies that screwed up the economy, in the first place? We all know they will keep right on defending every moronic policy the DNC comes up with. It’s in their blood and they don’t know any other way. I doubt they even have the self awareness to realize that they share a large chunk of the blame.
24% of Americans (evidently) are living deep in the trough of government feed. That’s not good for our nation
The way the Rats keep driving to the left, over the cliff, and how hard it must be for the pollsters to twist numbers as to not represent the 5-10% of idiot Americans that can’t see the lunacy with their own eyes, what massive scheme they have coming up this November? There is NO WAY that the Rats simply admit defeat and move on. Something YUGE is going to happen.
Don’t worry, CNN. The Doofus McCarthy and MaoConnell are no threat to the system. In fact I expect your agenda to move along, unimpeded, with their assistance. Just look at 2010-2016 for reference.
Destroying the economy has been the plan all along. The restricted grain and fertilizer shipments are about famine and more death….as if the jabs are killing enough. There is an orchestrated plan underway, and we are all to be its victims…especially if we just sit back and wait for it all to unfold.
The day of hoping for Rs to come to rescue went out the window with Boehner’s tears. Sure I prefer them over full-blown comms but not enough to believe in anything they say. What does that leave us with? Salvation and hope of the day of the Lord. You can’t successfully pitch me any upcoming electoral thrills.
Viva Mexico!!! FREEDOM!
Whose family is in the 20% ? The Bidens, the Pelosis, the Obamboozlers, the Kerrys, Ginger and Cuck Goebbels…
Chris Cillizza and all the worried Dems are just playacting. They know full well the elections are rigged and they will “win” despite the disastrous Dem policies and economy.
Most everything is worse including Bidens dementia.
How long do the foolish Dems think the American People are going to take this crap.
Another reading of this story: 20% of Americans give joke answers to pollsters or are idiots.
“Lower your expectations” is indeed the only thing the left can say since they can’t fix this and stay true to their ideology.
Now the question is will enough of the public do that to keep the leftists in power?
Unfortunately, they might, if the past is any guide.
That 2% describing economic conditions as “excellent”? Those are Zelenskyyy’s cabinet members, all drawing handsome salaries courtesy Brandon.
We as a free republic are circling the drain as con men , grifters and lunatics are in control . Rats will be jumping ship !
Look how many leftist destructionists will be cashing out rather than running for office again !
Still locked in the covid proof closet and my economy is just fine thanks to the leftists. I have CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and a host of others all on 24 hours a day. Come on your leftist punters, the party is perfectly fine because of ONE thing; the rinotards and refumblecans have done absolutely nothing to ensure that the coming elections will be free and fair. So, dear leftists, fear not…all those ten’s of millions of joey mail in votes we didn’t need in 2020 can now be rebranded with the democrap of our choice. See, there is a clear path to victory as the GOP fritters away the day.
