Democrats are in a crisis and the media won't talk about it

The Democratic Party is in an ongoing crisis, but most of the national media aren’t interested.

They’d rather talk about the new “rock star,” Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Coretz, and ignore that the party is up in flames.

Both Republican and Democratic voters are turning out in record numbers for their primary elections this year, according to analysis published this week by the Hill.

Democrats have a slight advantage by about a million votes, but that’s only in primaries. And in every general midterm election since at least 1982, Republicans have had an average of 6 percent higher turnout than Democrats.

Democrats swept Congress in 2006, but that was in a year of President George W. Bush, who wasn’t as popular as President Trump is among both Republicans and independents.

Just before the 2006 midterm elections, Bush had an 81 percent approval rating among Republicans and a 31 percent approval among independents, according to Gallup. Right now, the same poll has Trump at 87 percentwith Republicans and 38 percent with independents.
