RUSH: From TheHill.com. Here\u2019s the headline: “Is a Wave Election Forming for Democrats?<\/a> — Democrats are increasingly bullish about the prospect of a wave election in 2018 amid backlash against the” House Republicans for repealing Obamacare. And, of course, all the mess with Trump. Now, it\u2019s true to say, is it not, that practically every election the Democrats think that they\u2019re gonna win it in a landslide?<\/p>\n

\"\"They were gonna win 2016 in a landslide. Hillary was gonna mop the floor with Trump. They go in… But now they really believe, folks — because they believe their media, and they believe everybody in America believes their media. And they believe, therefore, that everybody, now, hates Trump, that everybody is dissatisfied with the election results in 2016.<\/p>\n

They believe that every American realizes they\u2019ve made a mistake. They think that every American realizes Trump was a disaster, the Republicans are a disaster. They believe that practically every voting American now wishes they had voted Hillary and voted Democrat. And they are telling themselves it\u2019s gonna lead to them regaining the House, regaining the Senate in 2018.<\/p>\n

Okay. Well, you would think that they\u2019re raising money left and right, wouldn\u2019t you? You would think this big momentum for Democrats to be back in power, why, people must be donating to the Democrats left and right.<\/p>\n

Well, the Democrat National Committee reported its worst April of fundraising since 2009. On Monday, yesterday, according to the Federal Election Commission, the DNC reported taking in $4.7 million last month. Now, this is admittedly an off year for fundraising. But last year the DNC raised $8.5 million and nearly five million in 2015. Between 2010 and 2014, they received anywhere from $6.3 to 14.4 million per year.<\/p>\n

The Republican National Committee\u2019s April numbers more than doubled the DNC numbers. The RNC reported raising $9.6 million in April. They have $41 million on cash. The Democrats have $8.8 million on hand in cash and raised 4.7. So the Democrats have all this momentum. They have all this spirit. They have all this unity. They have all this purpose. They have all this resolve. Everybody hates Trump. Everybody hates the Republicans. The Republicans have a crazy guy for president. But when you look at the mother\u2019s milk of politics, and that\u2019s money, the Democrats don\u2019t have any, compared to the Republicans.<\/p>\n

So where is this wave? How is this wave gonna happen? Where is all this momentum? Where is all this unity? Where is all this spirit? From The Daily Caller today: “Bernie Supporters: The Democratic Party Is In ‘Absolute Crisis\u2019 — Influential organizers who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders during the 2016 presidential primary still think that the Democratic Party is in an ‘absolute crisis,\u2019 according to an interview published Sunday. ‘They are a party in absolute crisis and denial,\u2019 leader of the California Nurse\u2019s Association RoseAnn DeMoro told the Bee about Democratic leadership. ‘They are too comfortable.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘”Democrats moved to the right for so long that they were basically centrists,\u2019 Democratic delegate Mike Van Gorder said. ‘It absolutely needs to change.'” These Democrats think the DNC has gone too far to the right. Anyway, there isn\u2019t any evidence of a wave other than what these Democrats are telling themselves.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s approval number is actually climbing again. It\u2019s up to 46%. The Democrats are not raising any money, and yet they\u2019re convinced that they\u2019re gonna sweep the floor in 2018. On the other side of this, however, is this. Just cleared about an hour and 10 minutes ago. It\u2019s a story from TheHill.com, and it is a poll from SurveyUSA. It\u2019s about the special election in the Georgia House race. The Pajama Boy, Jon Ossoff versus the Republican, Karen Handel. This is Georgia 6. It was Newt\u2019s district. And in this latest poll from SurveyUSA, Ossoff is up seven points over Republican Karen Handel.<\/p>\n

This is about the same lead that Hillary had over Trump throughout the entire campaign. Now, this poll is one of the only things the Democrats have that might tell them they\u2019re gonna be in a wave election. There have been two previous special elections this year, and they all said each of these elections is gonna show that the public has turned on Trump and want us back, and the Republicans won both. The Democrats lost.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Democrats are already counting Ossoff as a winner. This election will be on June the 20th. Fifty-one percent of likely and actual voters in Georgia say they would vote for Ossoff if the election were today. Forty-four percent say they\u2019d vote for Handel. Six percent are undecided. YouGov, SurveyUSA, you name it, these polling groups all had Hillary up by the same margin, six or seven points. I don\u2019t know if this is accurate or not. But the Democrats are looking at this and they\u2019re salivating.<\/p>\n

Now, I will say this, folks. I try to be a beacon of optimism here. But if this Pajama Boy guy, who doesn\u2019t even live in the district, if he actually wins this in the district that sent Tom Price and Newt Gingrich, then the Republicans are in trouble. And, by the way, if this happens, I\u2019m gonna tell you, if the Republicans start losing these elections, it\u2019s not gonna be because of the Democrats.<\/p>\n

You know why it\u2019s gonna happen. It\u2019s gonna happen because Trump voters are fed up with Trump getting no support from his own party in Washington. Make book on it. If this Georgia district election actually goes that way, it\u2019s not gonna be \u2019cause people prefer this Pajama Boy guy. It\u2019s gonna be other reasons completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
