A Deep Dive Into the Democrats' Latest Polling: There’s a Rebellion Brewing
Scott Pinsker
5–6 minutes

“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” —Thomas Jefferson

Right now, a pair of gigantic, enormous, bigger-than-Aunt-Bertha stories are flying at warp speed. They’re moving so fast, they’ve mostly been overlooked.

The first story is the Democrats’ emerging buyer's remorse. As I detailed earlier, the dam cracked wide on that front over the past few days. We’re starting to see headlines like “What If Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?” “Forget Kamala Harris: Should Democrats Have Picked Michelle Obama?” “Even Dem Voters Show Signs of ‘Buyers Remorse’ Over Party’s Unprecedented Electoral Moves.” “Buyer’s Remorse in the Democratic Party Over Harris’s Weak Performance.”

And by a large, Bertha-sized margin, the stories about the Democrats’ buyer's remorse has gotten the most coverage of the two. This will continue. The quantity of coverage will climb in inverse proportions to Harris-Walz’s likelihood of winning: The worse it gets, the more of these stories we’ll see.

But the the second story might be more consequential.

The horseracing aspect of presidential politics will always generate the most coverage. Anything pertaining to Trump-versus-Harris will instantly suck the oxygen out of the room. So this is the kind of story that really could sneak up on you.

Of those aforementioned stories, one of them included brand-spanking-new polling data of Democratic voters. (Keep that part in mind: These weren’t undecided, randomly selected voters; they were dedicated Democrats.) Additionally, this story is less than 24 hours old, so it’s probably the most current data of Democrats available.

Dear Scott

There is no such thing as a "Democratic" party in this country! There is a Democrat party but there is not one thing democratic about that bunch now.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

If Trump wins, I suspect it will be more about Rats not turning out than flipped votes. Right now it seems Shamala just isn't able to fire up the Trump hate enough for self-righteous Rats to go out and vote against him.

If Big Mike had taken the nomination, they'd already be sizing the Oval Office for new drapes.   I think she would have won this thing by 3-5% , and 290 EV's.

It is not too late to do a Torricelli?

Horse racing ...

You only gamble with money you can afford to lose.  You do your homework before the first race starts.  You place all your bets before the first race, unless there are scratches. You spread your bets across Daily Doubles, Win/Place/Show, Quinellas, Trifectas, Superfectas, etc., to diversify risk.  You sit, watch, and hope.

Without discipline, you end up chasing losing bet after losing bet.

The GOP is Trump's because the party wasn't developing a stable of future candidates.

The Dems are in their current predicament because most of their horses are ready for the glue factory or aren't saddle broken.

Both the GOP and the Dems failed to succession plan.  So, now, they are failing to succeed.

Huh?

So which 3 dims line up as bench strength as well as RDS, Vance, and Vivek?

That's because she's too busy whipping out the accent du jour and talking about how proud the neighbors were of their lawns, when a big part of the demographic she is targeting only sees grass growing in the margins of vacant lots.

With matching outfits? 

Having been Barrack's husband doesn't make that grifter any more suited for the office. Just look at the entourage she'd take junketing at our expense when (s)he was first 'lady' (laddie?).

We have the afore mentioned RDS, Vance, and Vivek, plus Sanders, Younkin, and possibly Abbott. That's pretty close to a stable.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Neither party has a Secretariat or a Seabiscuit in the wings.

The GOP has some okay horses with future potential with the right trainer and jockey.

The Dems' horses are on their way to the glue factory.

Youngkin has the best shot on the national stage.

Abbott went too Taliban in Texas to have more than regional support.

Huh?

So which 3 dims line up as bench strength as well as RDS, Vance, and Vivek?

My (literal) Aunt Bertha was a small, almost tiny woman. Unlike her US-born siblings, she was born in Czarist Russia and came to the US at what would now be called preschool age. German was her "first language".

As for Kackle-a, the Dems made their bed when they decided to try to run the obviously failing LIEden instead of having a primary in which more capable Dem leaders could gain name recognition and support.

That's our view of her.  However, her and her grifter punk Hubby have the nation brainwashed that they are the greatest thing for this country since Lincoln.  So yes....   as ridiculous as it appears to us, she'd would be a shoo-in.  Unfortunately.

I sadly must agree.
