The Democrats next electron mistake

NY Times:

Democrats Leave Few House Seats Unchallenged


Stung by their failure to field candidates in crucial races last year, Democrats are contesting virtually every Republican-held House seat in 2018.
This is not a smart move for a party that is virtually broke.  The Republicans already have about 10 times as much cash on hand as Democrats and that number could grow.  The Democrats have lost their government slush funds that Obama doled out through the DOJ settlements and the Consumer Protection scam settlements. 

If Democrats want to spend money in the congressional district I live in Texas they are engaging in a fool's errand.  There are many other GOP strongholds across the country where Democrats stand no chance. 

Republicans are not going to choose more Roy Moore's to run against Democrats.

There is also the fact that Trump's tax cuts are going to be showing up in paychecks in 2018 and Republicans are not going to let Democrats forget that they all voted against giving people more takehome pay.

While I was a reluctant Trump voter in 2016, he has greatly exceeded my expectations and I sense that more Republicans will be enthusiastic about him in coming elections.  Democrats who live in their insular worlds of liberalism are just out of touch with the rest of the country.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
