    Default Democrats smell a rout

    Donald Trump’s collapsing poll numbers have Democrats thinking bigger than just winning the White House and seizing the Senate — they’re imagining a rout that extends all the way down the ballot.

    Intent on not repeating the mistakes of 2010 under then-President Barack Obama, the party is seizing on a once-in-a-decade opportunity to drive the redistricting process — and reverse the built-in advantage Republicans amassed over House district lines after the last census.

    it would correct an Obama-era down-ballot shellacking that handed Republicans House control and resulted in the loss of more than 900 Democratic legislative seats.

    The devastating results for Democrats in 2010 — part of a multi-million dollar effort by Republicans and Karl Rove to zero in on winning governor’s offices and battleground statehouses — gave the GOP total control in 19 states and allowed them to draw 213 congressional districts.

    The new maps were a disaster for Democrats and spawned a bevy of groups and fundraising efforts intent on preventing a repeat in 2020. Most notably, Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder created the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a centralized redistricting hub on the Democratic side “to make sure that what the Republicans did last time was not possible again,” said John Bisognano, the NDRC’s executive director. “We weren’t going to get caught off guard again.”

    But the opportunity in November is even more profound, Democrats say. It represents not only a once-every-20-years occurrence when reapportionment falls in a presidential year, but perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity when an incumbent president appears so weak.

    I'm worried that unless Trump turns the economy around, and makes progress in checking the coronavirus Biden will be our next president. I believe we have lost the senate. I may be wrong but I don't think I am.

    Got news for you. The defeat the Democrats suffered in the 2010 mid-terms was a direct result of their using their numbers in Congress and holding the Presidency to push through single-party, non-bipartisan, legislation and actions that the public hated. The problem with the Democrat party still exists and if anything, has gotten worse. As the Democrats become a party of the Left and increasingly refuse to work in a bipartisan fashion with Republicans even when they win an election their victory will be short-lived.
    Most people won't put up with the Leftist agenda shoved down their throats. The only way the Left has historically been able to gain and retain power is through a dictatorship or sustained massive voter fraud.

    What the redistricting plan shown above does is try to impose rigged elections on a national scale using redistricting far in excess of what Republicans have done. Not unexpected from the Left. Nor is pushing for voting rules and systems that allow massive fraud to occur. It doesn't have to have occurred, so much as there be a system in place to allow it down the road.

    There is no vote fraud, especially massive so cut the bull shit. All you are trying to do is cover up GOP election fraud which is rampant.

    You would be wrong in the first.

    https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/05/...ud-in-america/
    https://www.heritage.org/election-in...0-proven-cases

    Search by state and year:

    https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/...aud_type=24489

    Those are just the cases that have been caught and convicted. Neither you nor I have any clue as to how many cases are not caught.

    And, do prove GOP election fraud is "rampant" seeing as how the bulk of the actual cases caught and convicted are Democrats by a near overwhelming margin.
