The Democrats’ Trump Obsession Will Do Them In
Their fixation on the former president has robbed them of their basic political instincts.

In 2020, despite gaining control of the White House and the Senate, the Democrats suffered a net loss of 13 seats in the House and a comprehensive down ballot drubbing. This was hardly a mandate for radical change. Yet, upon taking office, President Biden immediately reversed former President Trump’s successful energy policies and incentivized illegal immigrants to invade our southern border. Meanwhile, congressional Democrats collaborated with Biden to pass inflationary spending bills and embarked upon an unconstitutional crusade to convict Trump of fictitious crimes against the state.
This ongoing effort to destroy Trump and all his works has long since taken precedence over any policy initiative that would benefit voters. Consequently, Biden’s job approval rating has now dropped below 40 percent in several major polls and the Democratic Party is losing the support of Independent and Latino voters. An obvious manifestation of the latter phenomenon was the victory of Texas Republican Mayra Flores in last week’s special election for the state’s 34th Congressional District. This was no accident. The GOP invested heavily in this contest while the Democrats virtually ignored it. As Flores put it in an interview last week:
I’m grateful that the Republican Party is finally investing in the Hispanic community.… The Democrat Party has completely abandoned us and taken us for granted. They feel entitled to our vote and they feel like they really don’t have to work for it. And what we’re showing now is that, “Yes, you do have to work to earn our vote.” That’s why we won this special election. We knocked on thousands of doors, made thousands of phone calls. I have the most hard-working team and that is why we’re also going to win that reelection in November.
