The media myth of Democratic momentum

The media myth of Democratic momentum
Opinion by Joe Concha, Opinion Contributor - Wednesday
 
The euphoric headlines are everywhere this month:

 l
“Democrats Enter the Fall Armed With Something New: Hope” (New York Times)

“Democrats Are Starting to See a Path to Victory in November” (Vanity Fair)

“Jubilant Senate Democrats head home with momentum” (Washington Post)

Many in the media really, really want you to believe that the Democratic agenda led by President Biden is capturing the hearts and minds of voters. That what was supposed to be a red wave is now becoming a ripple, with the Blue Team instead poised to make gains in November.
 
It’s all wishful thinking, if recent polls — particularly one from NBC News on Sunday — are any indication. Because any objective person who understands political history knows it’s hard to envision how a president who is polling lower than any first-termer in polling history (from Truman to Trump) can possibly galvanize voters to pull the lever for his party.

According to NBC News, Joe Biden is polling at 42 percent approval and 57 disapproval, which is unchanged from May. Reuters has the president at 38 percent approval and 57 percent disapproval. His RealClearPolitics average is hovering around 40 percent approval.

Aeronautic Engineers have long proposed that a Bumblebee can't possibly fly because the body-to-wing ratio is impossible.  Nobody told the bees, however, so they continue to fly.

I feel that way about all the Rat boasting of a coming blue wave.  I don't believe them, a lot of Republicans don't either.  So, Pelosi and company take note.  We're going to go ahead and fly anyway.

You saw first hand the dim fraud in AZ.  These mf'ers have perfected their tactics, and I am sure it has even emboldened them more.

Like I just said on another thread, I am much less optimisitc.

We have improved our own tactics as well, and it's truly grassroots.  In the Primary we had Republican Observers in almost every polling place in Arizona, even in the benighted Maricopa and Pima Counties.  We didn't get the laws we needed passed because of duplicitous Rinos, including the Governor, so the people picked up the gauntlet. 

Other things as well, like cell phone apps that assist in phone calls (from live people) and door-to-door knocking, are improving the tech side of face-to-face politicking. 

I think this will be better than 2020.

We did that here during 'W's second term -- the GOP sent people from DC to help -- they were in the area and just a phone call away.  They also had people counting voters coming in, so that over voting could be detected.

Why hasn't the GOP continued to implement this or perfect it, especially in the most vulnerable precincts?

It's better to do that on the local level, we don't want to see DeeCee people who have worked against us.  The tech is much improved, and it's paid for by the politicians' campaigns.

I think in AZ we are going to pick up enough seats to prevent more RINOs killing bills, and have a Governor who is promising to be tough as nails, as she has been through this whole campaign.

I should outfit our Observers with those little tally clickers....

Yes, they are indeed helpful. What is the RNC doing, do you know?? Are they helping at the state level at all??

I'm sure the funding arms of the RNC (RNCC and RNSC) are funding some campaigns, but for the State House and Senate we're on our own, and we like it that way.

Our County is the largest donor County in AZ, even larger than the urban Maricopa and Pima Counties.  At my level, I've been tasked with getting large donations to those Legislative Nominees.  I have $16K to spend on getting pickups from the Rats.  Our new District Maps are much better for the GOP this decade.

Gottcha the RNSC is pretty much worthless because of Mitch & Co.  The best of luck to you @Cyber Liberty; you will be successful :beer:

I am praying that the GOP takes the Senate; I have some doubts, but I am still hopeful.

We have a great Nominee in Blake Masters.  The press is desperately trying to bring him down but I don't think they're getting traction.

I can't help but wonder how many "conservative" women are swinging left because of their desire to kill babies. It seems the "codify Roe" garbage has increased Rat support.

Even if the Pubs don't take back the Senate and RINO's like Murkowski win I'll still be estatic about the Dobbs decision and millions of lives that will be saved.

"The media myth of Democratic momentum"

Considering that The Party has control of a widespread "underground election apparatus" that can be brought into operation wherever needed...

..."momentum" no longer matters as much as does the ability to "control" the election via "the apparatus"...

As Comrade Catfish said in reply to Comrade Cyber:
"You saw first hand the dim fraud in AZ.  These mf'ers have perfected their tactics, and I am sure it has even emboldened them more.
Like I just said on another thread, I am much less optimisitc."

Refer to paragraphs above re "the apparatus"...
