Media is missing the story of Democrat problems this election

Jack Hellner:
...
What we don't see in these predictions is actual support for Democrat policies. People are not clamoring for higher taxes, more regulations, and a more powerful government. The people generally support enforcing immigration laws and do not support sanctuary cities and states. I do not believe that most people actually believe that college will be free or that socialism is better than capitalism.

We were told that if Trump was elected, the economy would collapse, and yet the economy is growing much faster than anyone said was possible. We were told manufacturing jobs were gone for good, and yet there has been substantial growth. It is clear that the great results are because Trump lowered taxes and reduced regulations, yet we are told Republicans will be slaughtered because people don't like Trump. That seems illogical since people routinely vote their pocketbook.

We know the following:

Trump won around 85% of counties in 2016. Republicans held a 47-seat advantage in the House when the "unpopular" Trump was on the ballot. Consumer and business confidence have soared. Polls show that Trump's popularity among blacks and Hispanics has risen. Job opportunities for all races, both sexes, and all education levels have improved substantially. Median income and take-home pay are rising faster than at any time during Obama's eight years.

Yet we are told that things are looking grim for Republicans.

Why would people be hankering to go back to a Democratic leader like Nancy Pelosi and policies that generated low confidence and low growth? Does anyone think that sounds logical? Yet that is the drivel from the stenographers in the media every day as they try to elect Democrats..

Other good news that is getting little coverage is that it looks as though health care costs will be stable for 2019 even as Democrats, in collusion with the media and swamp creatures, said they would soar if Trump and Republicans got rid of the individual mandate.

On a personal note, I work for a group in Illinois that has around 250 employees, and we cover over 400 people. We have health insurance through a large insurer, and I heard this week that our rates are actually dropping for 2019 by 6.8%, with no changes in deductibles and benefits. Obama and Democrats knowingly lied continuously that Obamacare would reduce rates, yet out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles, and premiums skyrocketed for almost everyone throughout his miserable eight years. Two years into Trump, with him giving people freedom of choice again, we are getting a substantial decrease.
...
There is more.

Companies are continuing to add jobs and you can drive into most communities without seeing signs saying "Now Hiring" some add "All shifts."  Democrats did not create this atmosphere and it is hard to understand why people would want to go back to the old stagnant economy they produced for eight years.

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
