Regardless of what the final outcome for President is Democrats are not happy with their performance, this was supposed to be another blue wave.
Americans were supposed to come running to the Democrat party with open arms to save us from the bad man. That just wasn’t true.
Perhaps if Joe Biden wins Pelosi can hide behind the fact that she did a terrible job and barely hung on to the House. On top of that Republicans kept the Senate. The election has not been a referendum on Trump to user in the age of wokeness.
If it wasn’t for the center-left lemmings that couldn’t get over President Trump’s personality this election wouldn’t have even been close. That’s isn’t to say the presidential election has been decided yet, there are a lot of shenanigans going on that are going to be sorted out in court.
CNN’s Van Jones has a history of being honest and sometimes it gets him into hot water with Democrats. He admits the pollsters were way off and Democrats may enjoy winning the presidency but it’s not as big of a win as they needed.
Jones said, “I think a lot of Democrats are hurt tonight. I think there’s a lot of hurt out there. There’s a moral victory, and there’s a political victory. They’re not the same thing.”
He continued, “The political victory still may come. But I think for people who saw babies being snatched away from their mothers at the border, people sending their kids into schools where the n-word is now being used against them, for people seeing this wave of intolerance, they wanted a moral victory tonight. We wanted to see a repudiation of this direction for the country. And the fact that it’s this close, I think is — it hurts. It just hurts.”
He added, “I think people got their hopes up looking at those polls. The political victory, I think, is still possible because you still have Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Nebraska too. The political victory may yet come. But I’ve got to be honest tonight that I think there were people who were hoping for a big repudiation, and that has not yet come. And a lot of people are hurt and scared tonight in the Democratic party.”
Van Jones knows that the results from the election in the House and Senate will render Joe Biden (or Kamala) a lame duck president should they win. For at least the first of half of the term Pelosi will need to be careful so she doesn’t lose big in the midterm. An aggressive Biden administration would be disastrous, Americans would flip the House to combat Biden just like they did to Obama.
We have no idea what the end outcome will be yet but one this is for sure, this was no “repudiation” of Trump.
