Americans set to vote against Democrats in large numbers

 Michael G. Zey:

That deafening sound Americans are hearing all around them is the Good Ship Democratic Party crashing against the jagged rocks of political reality.

With the November 2022 midterm elections just weeks away, early projections point to a Republican Party electoral tsunami that could bury the Democrat party for the next several voting cycles.

Polls by Rasmussen, Emerson, and Trafalgar show the Republicans up by as much as 10% over Democrats in the generic ballot.  The Real Clear Politics "poll of polls" has Republicans projected to win a minimum of 223 House seats, the Democrats 179, giving the GOP de facto control of the House of Representatives.

RCP has identified another 33 congressional contests as toss-ups, races considered too close to call.  Of those 33 seats 29 were considered solidly Democrat until this election cycle.  Now Democrats must spend precious resources to defend seats they thought they owned.  Republicans could end up with a 240-plus-seat majority.

Just last June, a young Republican female candidate of Hispanic background, Mayra Flores, won a Texas house seat that has been in Democrat hands since the Civil War ended, and did so with the help of a large swath of Hispanics in the district.

Flores's victory confirms a belief, long held in conservative circles, that Hispanics are trending GOP, forming a voting bloc with the tens of millions of middle-class Americans who increasingly associate the Democrats with runaway inflation, crime in the streets, and the importation of thousands of illegal migrants.  Hispanics share Republican conservative values on abortion, parental rights regarding their children's education, and religious freedom.

Democrats fool themselves if they imagine that President Biden's slumping approval numbers are the sole reason for their bleak prospects.  Yes, in 44 states, more voters disapprove of Biden than approve.  A recent Quinnipiac poll has Biden at 31% approval and a whopping 60% disapproval.  History demonstrates that presidents who were underwater by Bidenesque levels — Obama, Clinton, and the like — can cost their parties between 60 and 70 seats in the midterms.

Certain that Biden is the main source of the Democrats' poor 2022 election prospects, the Washington Post just ran an editorial begging Biden to resign now.

However, Biden's leadership deficiencies are not the only cause of the Democrat party's electoral woes.  The party's progressive agenda is out of step with a center-right America.  To make matters worse, Americans perceive the Democrats to be tone-deaf to the concerns of average Americans.

...

Democrats are more focused on climate change which is important to about one percent of voters instead of solving inflation that they caused.

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.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
