Democrats are grasping at straws in the 2022 Midterm elections.
Instead of persuading voters, they’ve resorted to happy-talking their way to victory.
And Howard Dean’s latest election prediction for Democrats is so absurd even he can’t possibly believe it.
Democrats are trying to convince themselves that abortion will be an issue that will drive people to the polls in their favor in November.
The belief comes in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and sent the issue of abortion back to the individual states.
But poll after poll shows that Republicans still maintain a strong lead in generic Congressional ballot polling.
Yet, former DNC Chairman – and coyote howler – Howard Dean, believes Democrats could flip eight Senate seats in the Midterms, a rather ridiculous prediction that isn’t supported by any actual facts.
Dean made the absurd prediction during a recent appearance on MSNBC’s The Katie Phang Show on MSNBC.
“The real driver for us is going to be two things,” Dean began. “One has already happened. That was the so-called Dobbs decision when Roe v. Wade was thrown out. That has put an enormous amount of turmoil into this election.”
“The second is something that hasn’t happened yet, but if it does happen, I think we are going to pick up seats in the House, and I think we’ll pick up the seats in the Senate in any case,” he continued. “And that is forgiveness of student loans. The age group that favors Democrats most significantly is under 35. Those folks often sit out Midterm elections and are disillusioned with President Biden. So I think the student loan stuff is essential.”
First, abortion has already proven it’s not the wedge issue Democrats believe it to be.
At least one-third of all women voters are pro-life, so all women will definitely not be voting in lockstep with Democrats on abortion.
And two-thirds of Americans are against abortion after the first trimester, which is a far cry from Democrats’ position of abortion on demand up to the point of birth for any reason.
Also, the single-issue voters on abortion simply cancel each other out.
Most states align with the view of restrictions after the first trimester, so that is not an issue scaring people to the polls.
As for his point about student debt, President Joe Biden does not have the authority to cancel student loans unilaterally.
Plus, it’s always telling that Democrats want to saddle taxpayers with student loan debt, but not the universities sitting on multi-billion-dollar endowments.
“It is hard to take rights away from 50% of the population that they have had for 50 years,” Dean added. “That is right the right-wingers have done. And I think they’re going to pay a price for that. I think we can pick up three to five and possibly even eight seats in the Senate.”
“I think Iowa is in trouble for the Republicans, places that you didn’t expect,” he claimed. “I think Florida is in trouble for the Republicans, North Carolina in addition to the ones that really always talks about like Pennsylvania.”
Howard Dean, like most Democrats, is delusional.
The Dobbs decision simply returned the abortion issue to the individual states.
Women living in red states with more prohibitive abortion laws have already made the adjustment.
Establishment Republicans have been convinced that they cannot win on abortion, but evidence suggests otherwise.
