The Democratic Debacle — Market Mad House

The Democrats have done it again. America’s majority party turned what should have been a landslide into a dismal almost-loss.

With 245,152 coronavirus deaths and a horrendous economy, the Democrats should have won a 1932 FDR-style landslide. Instead, Americans were waiting for the results of a close election on Friday 6 November 2020.

The Associated Press finally called the election for Joe Biden (D-Delaware) because of razor-thin margins in Arizona and Pennsylvania on 7 November 2020. Incredibly, President Donald J. Trump (R-Florida) had a slim chance at victory in the worst economy since the Great Depression, three days after the election.

Democrats Lose Again

Beyond Trump, Democrats picked up just two seats in the United States Senate in the 3 November elections.

Well-financed Democratic challengers could not beat such incompetent clowns as US Senators Wesley Graham (R-South Carolina) and Suzanne Collins (R-Maine). Graham’s challenger Jaime Harrison raised $57 million, yet Graham won by a 54.5% to 44.2% or 11.1% margin.

Disgustingly, US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) will keep his Senate seat and possibly his leader’s chair. McConnell won reelection by a margin of 58.2% to 37.8%, even though 51% of Kentuckians disapproved of him in an October 7–15, 2020, Spectrum News+IPSOS Poll.
