The wonder of this question is that it’s being asked at all — and especially, as Politico reports, by Democrats themselves. Wait, some readers may think, won’t Democrats win big in the first-term midterm against an unpopular president? Until very recently, that had been the conventional wisdom and Democrats had absolutely convinced themselves of it.

Then a funny thing happened on the way to the blue wave — the tide went back out:

Not a damn thing. If the Rats were interested in righting the ship, they would have dumped her wrinkled ass right after Donny steam rolled them in '16. I'll also point out that they do not have anyone that isn't full tilt crazy in their party to take over for her.

Finding someone to replace her could be a problem. Their bench looks weak.

In fact, to extend the seafaring metaphor, Pelosi and her team may have wrecked their credibility on the shoals of snobbery regarding the impact and meaning of tax cuts and compensation boosters. If anything, they have made themselves look even more out of touch than Hillary Clinton did in 2016 … and that takes some doing.

Democrats are so out of touch they can’t tell which way is up, which way is down, and which way is the exit. In the current political climate we don’t need Trump to point out the losers, they point themselves out.
