Desperate Dems forming a circular firing squad as House of Representatives polling worsens

AMERICAN THINKER

By Thomas Lifson

In a normal political year, being chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) would be a political plum, but in 2022, it is more like being the captain of the Titanic.  And the “passengers” (Democrats in the House seeking re-election) are starting to grumble that the captain is commandeering his own lifeboat.

That’s roughly the situation facing Sean Patrick Maloney, chairman of the DCCC, which allocates party funds to incumbents seeking re-election.  Polling voters on their support for a generic Democrat running against a Republican yields horrific results for Dems.

In a normal year, Dems have an advantage in the generic polling, even in years where Republicans are able to earn a House majority.  To be down 8 points five months before an election predicts a bloodbath.  That’s an uncomfortable position for the head of the DCCC, to say the least.  But in the case of SPM, it is far worse, because the court-imposed redistricting plan for New York’s 26 congressional districts has added Republican and independent voters to his own district, making it “competitive.” more

  1. At the moment I am more concerned about the damage the administration can do in the next 6 months before the Dems are ousted.
    And then what it will continue to do the next 2 years, in absolute defiance of both legislative and legal action. This is 0bama on steroids, they are actively trying to destroy this country.

  2. Why is Pelosi so confident that the Dems will hold the House in the upcoming election? This SMELLS big time…. and we are stupid if we don’t do something about it.

  4. To put things in terms Democrats understand, it is time to abort Dem politicians from public office. Unfortunately, the Dems will likely continue to cheat instead of “my Congress, my choice.”
