Red October has arrived!

Blake Hounshell of the New York Times reported, “Democrats’ Feared Red October Has Arrived.”

He wrote, “Democrats have bet heavily that widespread anger over the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade would drive voters away from the Republican Party — especially college-educated women in the suburbs. President Biden pledged on Tuesday to protect abortion rights in a clear attempt to bring the issue back to the forefront of public discussion.

“Democrats’ strategy might have been a smart move in an otherwise brutal year for the party. But it has also come at a cost: All those abortion ads have taken resources away from whacking Republicans for opposing the policies Democrats passed in Congress this year.”

I disagree. Abortion was the only shot they have. The trillion-dollar Green New Deal — mislabeled the Inflation Reduction Act — excites no one except the few rich people who will line their pockets. Politically, the only thing it did was make Joe Manchin a pariah in West Virginia.

But NYT’s admission that the House is lost and likely the Senate is a refreshing change from its DNC-approved nonsense.

[The NYT is still probably hoping that this Red October will be “one ping only.” Instead, Democrats will likely turn on Joe Biden after Election Day and say, “You horse’s ass, you’ve killed us all!” — Ed]
