AOC warns Democrats in ‘trouble’: Party facing ‘enthusiasm gap,’ The Hill's Cusack says



Democrats are in trouble, ‘divided’: The Hill editor-in-chief

The Hill editor-in-chief Bob Cusack reacts to Democratic Rep. Alexandra Ocasico-Cortez saying the party must cater to the progressive base to stand a chance in the upcoming midterms.

BOB CUSACK: I agree with AOC in this respect that Democrats are in trouble, and that’s what she said in that interview. Because the Left is not liking that the White House is saying, ‘No, we should fund the police’… They’re proposing increases, significant increases, in defense spending, partly because of Ukraine. So the Democrats are divided. The Left is not happy. That means they may not show up come November.

The moderates are scared they’re going to lose their elections in Congress. So this is a real problem. The enthusiasm gap between Republicans and Democrats is, depending on the poll, almost all polls have double-digit leads for Republicans. So overall, the way things are going right now, a long way to go, but Democrats, they’re not united and they don’t have a lot to point to legislatively, even though they control everything.

  1. Ill got gains need to be forfeited .

  2. Like the ROMAN EMPIRE our Politicians / Government are spending the USA into EXTINCTION. (We need TERM LIMITS ) Studies have shown a person's sense of morality lessens as his or hers power increases. Lord Acton wrote in 1887 "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely" One of Thomas Jefferson’s chief concerns was that the US Constitution did not limit the number of terms someone could serve as a Politician. To Jefferson, a politician serving for multiple terms was tantamount to a monarchy. We need to decide if we the people exist to serve the Government or does the Government exist to serve us the people?? Many Americans struggle to save for retirement or Funding for employee pension programs both public and private can also be a challenging. Us the mainstream Americans are having hard times just to pay the bills and put food on the table. All of our elected representatives in the United States receive a very LAVISH salaries. Also these same politicians receive a envious pension and benefits for life after a minimum of 5 years of service. This shows the true disconnect between OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AND US THE PEOPLE!!!! DID YOU KNOW that these same ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES HAVE PAST A LAW that us the people can not see what their LAVISH RETIREMANT IS !!!!! So why do you think these CAREER POLITICIAN have done this??? We all know why they are hiding this information from us the people !!! We need to take back our country from these elected Politicians. We need to elect people who wants to serve our country and not for a LAVISH RETIREMENT. We need have TERM LIMITS AND NO MINIMUM RETIREMENT for all of these POLITICIANS. I think that Politicians should work to SERVE US THE PEOPLE and this is why we need TERM LIMITS. Politicians should be willing to serve their country on behalf of us the people and not to have a LAVISH retirement or get rich while in office. It appears that Thomas Jefferson's fears of Politicians and that is our Politicians / Elites have become TANTAMOUNTS TO A MONARCHY !!! Another thing we need to do and that is, we must restrict the influence peddling the Lobbyist, Big Media, Big Tech and Big Business have with all Politicians and Government employee. Let's be honest, career politicians are not good for our Government or the Country. It is just a matter of time before Career Politicians become self-serving. Lets take back our Country. SPEAK THE TRUTH TO POWER NO CAREER POLITICIANS OR LIFE TIME APPOINTEES. (TERM LIMITS}

  6. America will come back bigger and better than before under Trump. Decertify the rigged 2020 election!

  7. How do you calculate unrealized gains????😗. Sounds like a nightmare to accomplish.

  8. He is taxing everyone rich or poor he is a beast of the earth 😖.

  9. HAAAA!! HAAAA!! SLAPPED DOWN BY THE ADULTS! AGAIN!

  10. Democrats are in trouble having aoc and like here in the party.

  11. AOC warns Democrats in ‘trouble’… ya think?

  12. AOC, the squad and the Biden Administration has screwed the pooch at every turn and crushed middle America, so do you wonder why there is an enthusiasm GAP among all people young and old!

  13. Yeah, AOC, keep talking and
    tell your geriatric Nana-C
    she is saying– for democracy
    sake, they should accept the
    results come mid-term.

  14. Maybe hunter biden should take over for nancy and joe…maybe less fubar

  15. We are NOT still in the middle of The Pandemic. What is her talking about?

  16. I bet AOC is the one in charge of The voting fraud

  17. Then AOC, needs to talk to her superiors, namely Madam Pelosi, The Obamas and the Clintons, etc, and the entertainment industry. Leads the average person alone.

  18. Keep up your “pep rallies” AOC! You and your squad gal pals doing a fantastic job driving normal Democrats to the Right Side of the aisle. Keep up the good work! 😉

  19. Gee bet ya all the money moves out of america

  20. "Never interrupt your enemy when they are in the process of destroying themselves."

  21. Once the wedge is in to tax any unrealized gains, they will come for all of them. But watch out, you'll never get back taxes on unrealized losses. Sorry, Congress does NOT have the authority to tax unrealized capital gains. These people need to show me the explicit clause in the Constitution that allows it. (hint: there isn't one).
