The national Democratic machine is in full catastrophe mode over the possibility of Republican dominance in this fall’s presidential election, a mailer recently sent by party leader Debbie Wasserman Schultz shows.
In the “Republican Threat” section, voters are asked: “Which elements of the radical Republican agenda are most dangerous to America’s future?”
The leading question is followed by a similarly narrow set of answers, including: “Dismantling the Affordable Care Act, restricting women’s reproductive rights, reversing marriage equality and other LGBT civil rights [or] opposing a minimum wage increase.”
Republican strategists said the survey’s alarmist tone demonstrates that Democrats who have dismissed — and even welcomed — the candidacy of Republican nominee Donald Trump are much more frightened than they’ve been letting on publicly.
“This is proof that Democrats are waking up to the reality that Hillary Clinton is a terrible candidate and doesn’t have the enthusiasm behind her that Trump or Sanders does,” said Republican strategist Evan Siegfried.
“When you’re trying to motivate your base by scaring them six months from an election, that shows you don’t have much going on.”
