Democrats had one job to do in this cycle: Don't be crazy. But: Rather than offer a rational alternative to Donald Trump, the party has embraced Marxist revolutionaries and sympathizers of radical Islam as endorsed candidates.
And voters have noticed. A CBS poll from this summer indicated that 60 percent of Democrats held positive views of socialism. However, two successive polls from Center Square show a majority of voters have serious concerns about Democratic Socialists taking control of the Democrat Party.
This data shows Republicans have a real opportunity to get voters to deliver a harsh verdict on Democrats’ embrace of Marxism.
Republicans in every midterm race ought to be highlighting the danger of socialist control as the top issue this cycle.
There is an opportunity to push back the radicals to the fringe—and only a massive loss will force Democrats to purge the DSA.
This is a real Time For Choosing.
Choose wisely—and, please, make sure you vote!
