Save the Democrats: Crush Them at the Polls
2018-10-14

The screams from the U.S. Senate gallery during the ayes and noes on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation were the Democratic party’s cries for help. Voters should arrange the major intervention that Democrats sorely need, so they might regain their mental health.

What should have been a solemn occasion last Saturday afternoon ‐ the then-nominee’s supporters and opponents quietly and gracefully waiting to see if he had enough votes to reach the nation’s highest court ‐ instead sounded like chilling shrieks from a psychiatric hospital.
If it were only the protesters and not prominent Democrats
..."You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for," Hillary Clinton told CNN Tuesday. "That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength."

...President Trump surveyed these dangers and told voters in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Tuesday: "You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. And that’s what the Democrats are becoming."

...Only a massive, crushing defeat on November 6 finally might make the Left heel.

If Democrats win either house, they will go berserk. Impeachment of President Trump, Kavanaugh, and even Vice President Pence (as some leftists demand) will top their To Do list. Medicare for All, scrapping ICE, and Democratic Socialism soon will follow.

To these leftist words, Antifa will add the music of mob rule: riots, property destruction, physical intimidation, street violence, death threats, and possibly even more severe mayhem ‐ all in the name of Resistance.

If Democrats barely lose (say, the GOP keeps a three-seat House majority), they will blame Russia, voter suppression, patriarchy, white-nationalist lead poisoning, global warming, sexism, Islamophobia, homophobia, high gas prices, income inequality, and racism, racism, racism.

However, if Republicans romp, boost their Senate majority by three to eight seats (ideally securing a filibuster-proof, 60-seat majority) and score an additional dozen-plus House districts, vanquished Democrats might cry together on November 7 and conclude:

"We blew it.

#3  The "Left of Center" candidate McGovern was crushed at the polls by Nixon. The response was for the Far Left Wing to work harder to purge any moderate members of the Democratic Party. Carter and Clinton may have won but they still persisted and today we see the results.
