Midterm Election Disaster: Will the Democrats Ever Learn?
BY STEPHEN GREEN NOV 03, 2021 12:21 PM ET
The Republicans didn’t quite sweep the board in Tuesday night’s mid-midterm election, but they very nearly did.
It must be quite a thing for Democrats who were so giddy after having claimed the White House, Senate, and House late last year and January of this year.
But then they got to the part where they actually had to govern, to deliver on promises made. So here they are, just ten months later, as flatly rejected by voters as a poor, homely man hitting on a Victoria’s Secret angel.
Shrieking “ORANGE MAN BAD!” is easy. So is shutting down the country’s economy just to ruin a sitting president. Governing is hard; owning up to the bad results of your governance is harder still. Democrats did neither this election season and paid the price last night.
