Dems think they're beating Trump in emergency declaration battle
By Scott Wong and Mike Lillis - 02/19/19 06:38 PM EST

Democrats are up in arms over President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the southern border, but they also see political gold in his highly controversial power play.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is raising money off Trump’s executive action, while early polls indicate Trump’s decision is broadly unpopular with voters nationwide.

Republicans are battling among themselves over whether to allow the president’s declaration to stand. And Democrats hope the public perception that Trump overplayed his hand will carry into the high stakes 2020 elections.

“Hard-working Americans are tired of failure and dysfunction from Washington Republicans — that’s why they overwhelmingly voted them out of office in 2018 and will reject them again in 2020,” Jared Smith, spokesman for the Democrats’ campaign arm, said Tuesday.

He's wrong. I am convinced the emotional left leaning voters that gave the Rats their big gains in 2018 are going to be shocked to learn that socialism is not free and will not be enacted only on the backs of the rich, but their standard of living will be directly affected. Trump began the education of these people in his state of the union speech. The Pubs will follow suit in time.

The vast majority of Americans will rally to Trump's statement, "we were born free and we will remain free".

The left has struggled mightily to write the history of the last midterm, but as usual they lie. They won because an unprecedented number of gutless republicans resigned, opening up an unusual number of seats. Even then, rat gains were mediocre - 26 seats - until days after the election when they ended up flipping 15 more due to ballot harvesting in California.

I think this is a good analysis.

In the end a majority of us in this country want to remain free.
