Sen. Blackburn: Democrats won't learn from Virginia and NJ; they'll double down
'They'll double down on a failed agenda,' argued the Tennessee senator
Fox News Staff

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told "America Reports" on Wednesday that the Democratic Party will not change their agenda after a loss in the Virginia gubernatorial race.

MARSHA BLACKBURN: What we are saying is that they are planning to double down on a failed agenda and the American people are looking at this… They're saying if you believe in lockdowns and mandates and higher taxes and inflation and government control of your kids and your school and your health care and your bank account, the Democrats are the party for you. And they're saying if you believe in opportunity, if you want freedom and to celebrate that and to weigh in on your kid's education, build your own business, live your American dream - the Republican Party is for you, and we have seen coast to coast the American people chose last night to line up with the Republican Party.

....

And I think the Republican Party should focus on having the GOP stand for a great opportunity party because that is what parents want. We all want the best for our children and our grandchildren. We want every child to have the opportunity to live out their American dream. And I've never seen an election night make that argument more precisely than the results from last night.

For Trump (or ANY Republican) to have a chance in 2024 the Pubs have to get Voting Fraud under control NOW. Doing it after the fact does not accomplish anything.

Virginia scared the fascistic totalitarian Democrats. The lesson the Democrats took away from Virginia has nothing to do with respecting Americans and changing policies. The only lesson they learned is that they need to double or triple their fraud efforts.

Forget the Democrats. Democrats LOVE voter fraud. It is the only way half of them won so of course they love it. If any reform at all will happen, only the Republicans can do it.

Illegals voting, multiple voting, vote harvesting, mail in ballots, absentee ballots, all should be reviewed specifically with the idea of determining how they can be abused and preventing it.

Any voting machines which use "servers", especially overseas servers, should be disqualified. Any IT savvy person can access the server and change the vote to whatever they want it to be, such as 81 million for example. Computers are not a reliable way to tally votes.

[LMAO]

It seems many on the right are overly focused on voter fraud. Yes, there are problems and I am all for reforming and addressing those. But it seems the voter fraud theme just cannot be let go by some

Republicans are going to have a good night next fall. What we saw Tuesday was just a sample. The Democrats are going to double down on the radicalism because AOC controls them. The economy and inflation in particular are not going to get better. In in fact, things are going to get worse. They are obsessed with climate change and white supremacy and that’s going to be their focus

I understand it’s hard to let go of a narrative. But sometimes Republican candidates can lose legitimately. It seems it’s human nature to prefer to be a victim

Democrats also claim fraud and illegitimacy when they lose

I had a sense that Youngkin was going to win. Virginia is not California. And there were a lot of good signs for Republicans if they recognize them and utilize them going forward.

Who would’ve ever thought Seattle with elect a GOP DA. I didn’t see that coming

Americans don’t like radicalism, be it from the left or the right. Those suburban and independent voters that abandoned  Donald Trump in 2020 are back. Had Donald Trump held those voters while expanding his base in 2020, he would have been reelected. The Democrats are very well aware of this but they don’t know what to do with the likes of AOC and Bernie Sanders running the party. The first warning signs for them was in 2020 when that blue wave didn’t materialize.

Proven fraud must mean nothing to some people who wish to "just move on'.

[LMAO]

In fact,  I think there was some on the right that subconsciously wanted Youngkin and the Republicans to lose so they can keep the voter fraud narrative going

[LMAO]

Proven fraud must mean nothing to some people who wish to "just move on'.

Yep, you move on.

When it comes to voter fraud, fight it, put safeguards in place so it’s  harder to pull off, put more restrictions on voting so that we know who is voting and that that person is a citizen that voted once.

Americans agree. They support things such as voter ID. And all races support this.

But ultimately it’s the issues. Democratic socialism and defund the police are simply not popular except for those on the left and ignorant college students

Marsha Blackburn is right. There is no pivoting to the center such as Bill Clinton did after the 1994 loss. Even if they wanted to, the AOC and the Cory Bush’s of the party won’t let them. And, even though the squad is Way out of the main stream, they are the energy and heart of the Democratic Party

That's okay, there is still New Jersey, where a county that was "100% counted" suddenly discovered over 40,000 more votes to count and flip the county--and the gubernatorial election. (with another 10% of ballots left to count in case they need more).

Failure to recognize the disease leads to a grim prognosis.

The reason Murphy won in NJ is voter fraud.

Most Americans may well agree that voter IDs and an end to mail in ballots are in order. Unfortunately, a significant number of politicians do not, and are unwilling to enact such restrictions to enhance the security of elections. Most of those happen to be Democrats.

Yes, the issues are important, seminal, even, to the election outcome, but if your ballot is not counted, or the opposition creates ballots favoring them, the issue becomes one of who, if anyone, voted for what. If we cannot trust the electoral process to provide results which are representative of the choices of the electorate, the whole system breaks down.

I have little doubt that Virginia's election was heavily scrutinized, reducing opportunity for fraud, and that the votes against McAuliffe's stands on everything from education to COVID to gun control were perhaps even more overwhelming than the vote tallies would indicate.

And you say all this with Pelosi's HR1, codifying the rat's 2020 schemes, hanging by a one vote thread in congress. 

This is why the GOP have been playing the Washington Generals for years.

Or maybe he did win? It is New Jersey, a very blue state in the Northeast

The left also makes claims of voter fraud and illegitimacy when they lose

40,000+ additional ballots "found" at 1 in the morning in a county which had reported its totals as 100% counted?

Classic Democrat cheat pattern.

Those issues, plus the Lincoln Project shenanigans, were too much for Virginia voters.

I am also of the opinion that labeling parents who voice their displeasure at school board meetings was probably in the back of peoples minds as they went to the polls on Tuesday even though most of these races were local

Supposedly there were a legion of volunteer activists & attorneys closely watching everything that went down on Tuesday night. Apparently that is still possible in VA.

When McAuliffe said that parents had no right to determine what their children were taught, that was a pivotal moment. Calling parents "terrorists" for speaking out was done at the Federal DOJ, not the State level.

After the past two years, the average person has had enough of overbearing government. They work for us, dammit, not the other way around, and our children are NOT their property.

It should not be necessary, in a technologically advanced civilization to have to depend upon physical ballots in the process of exercising the right of each citizen to vote.

However, owing to the authoritarian designs and fundamental dishonesty of the Democrat Party, that is where we are today.

Nor would a mere mandate of paper ballots address the problems of chain of custody, proof of identity and eligibility, each of which are entrusted - as they ought to be - to local election authorities. 

Perhaps our most critical problem with self-governance today lies within our most highly populated cities. Many of these have devolved into single-party, Democrat-run fiefdoms in which corruption is not only tolerated and expected, but virtually demanded of citizens.

Traditional morality and virtue have passed into history in these places, and have been replaced with amorality, as accompanied by neurotic obsessions and self-destructive behaviors. 

In the areas which they still have influence, Republicans can and should demand honesty and integrity in electoral processes, including the necessity of residency and citizenship in the exercise of the right to vote. They should also criticize - loudly - the failure of Democrat-run Duchies to obey the same strictures and explain precisely why such behavior is not only tolerated but encouraged: corruption, greed, immorality and an obsession with power.

The fact that Democrats cheat is not really the issue. Of course they cheat, openly. Hell, they even brag about it.
The issue is that the Republicans NEVER do anything about it. Are these 40 thousand "found" votes being challenged by the GOP? Are they going to require proof that these 'mystery votes' are authentic? Are they going to take this to court and the FEC?
The Democrats have pulled this same 'trick' a dozen times already, and the Republicans never do anything about it.

some even suspect the republicans are complicit. Being the party out of power - all the benefits with none of the accountability - suits them just fine.
