Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
The Democrats have Mitch McConnell and his lovely wife, Elaine “Coco” Chao, over a barrel. He and she will never be prosecuted, as per the last paragraphs of this story, as long as he continues to give the Radical Left the Trillions and Trillions of Dollars that they constantly DEMAND. He was afraid to use the “Debt Ceiling Card” in order to stop the most expensive waste of money in our Country’s history, to be spent on the Green New Deal, which will only cause one thing, a Depression. These expenditures are something our Country can never recover from. Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want. He is afraid of them, and will not do what has to be done. A new Republican Leader in the Senate should be picked immediately!

Warning Signs for the GOP Abound (The New York Post)
There’s a warning for Republicans in the defeat of Marc Molinaro in Tuesday night’s special election in New York’s 19th Congressional District, but also hope.
It was a tiny turnout across the board but especially for the Trump base — rural and working-class, non-college-educated white voters — who stayed home, while Democratic women without much else to vote for are newly energized by abortion, as we have seen in each of the four US House special elections since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in June overturning Roe v. Wade.
But that does not mean Democrats will be riding a Dobbs backlash to victory in the midterms, to paraphrase a hopeful New York magazine headline — as long as the GOP gets its act together.
Voters aren’t stupid, and if you wanted to send the Republican Party a message that it has to wake up and start fighting for the country, NY19 was a safe way to do it.
The special election changes nothing in the House, since Ryan will just squat for a few weeks in the Dem seat vacated by Antonio Delgado when he became lieutenant governor.
Molinaro has a good chance of flipping the seat in the November rematch, thanks to the roughly 170,000 voters who will join the red wave that will hit the country in the midterms, says pollster Rich Baris, director of Big Data Poll, whose prescient forecasts have earned him the nickname “People’s Pundit.”
The real tale of NY19, he says, is that Republicans have an enthusiasm deficit “in all these races where Donald Trump is not involved … The party is not ready to leave Donald Trump … If Republicans were able to do this on their own, without Daddy — a Daddy they resent, by the way — having to drag them over the finish line,” they wouldn’t need Trump.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his House counterpart, Kevin McCarthy, “don’t inspire anybody,” Baris said.
“The Republican Party is in an identity crisis,” Baris said. “They’re not capturing the anger of the views that we’re seeing in the Republican base. It’s hard to talk about inflation when you send 50 billion [dollars] to Ukraine. People are saying, ‘What about me?’ ”
It’s not about promising tax cuts or wailing about the economy. Republican voters correctly think they are under attack on all fronts, and they don’t see their representatives acting accordingly.
When Trump was president, Democrats were able to bring his administration to a grinding halt, with all sorts of dirty tricks and fancy footwork.
Today, Joe Biden is the most unpopular president in modern history, Dems have tiny majorities and no mandate to wreck the country in the way they are. So Republican voters feel their party is just rubberstamping ruinous legislation and not putting up a real fight.
Trump, on the other hand, does nothing but fight. Tuesday he was back attacking his own party, after Biden poured fuel on the inflation fire with his college debt gambit.
In a statement, Trump wrote that the GOP Senate leader “continues to give the Radical Left the Trillions and Trillions of Dollars that they constantly DEMAND…. These expenditures are something our Country can never recover from. Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want.”
A perfect example of not fighting when you should is abortion. Republicans have not formulated a coherent position since the Dobbs decision.
Baris calls this “political malpractice.” The fact is that Americans are not in favor of unfettered abortion and you just have to point that out. Extensive polling by Baris shows that the “pro-choice” position depends very much on the stage of the pregnancy. About half of Americans who call themselves pro-choice are not in favor of abortion in the second trimester, the stage when the baby feels pain, and about 60 percent don’t support abortion in the last nine months.
In one of Trump’s 2016 debates against Hillary Clinton, when her pet subject of abortion came up, he snarled, “If you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month, you can … rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth.” Baris says Trump instantly “neutralized the issue so she had to stop talking about it.”
Molinaro is pro-choice, and New York’s liberal abortion laws are set in stone, with Dobbs having zero impact, so the GOP figured that neutralized the issue. Lee Zeldin has taken a similar approach, that it’s not a big deal in New York.
But all that does is cede ground to their opponents’ dishonest narrative that every Republican has a “Handmaid’s Tale” fantasy. It also passes up an opportunity to punch a Dem in the nose.
Republicans can’t rest on their haunches and wait for Joe Biden’s unpopularity to do their work.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats have just orchestrated another election-enhancing money grab, this time to the tune of $300,000,000,000—and just like I predicted, it’s coming right out of the pocket of the working-class Americans who are struggling the most! Crippling inflation, unaffordable energy prices, and WAR—all things that should never have happened. But if that wasn’t enough, now Americans are bailing out College Administrators who fleeced students, and those who opted for Degrees there was no way they could afford. America is a nation in decline, and the cliff into oblivion is within sight. Stop voting for Democrats! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
