There Was Only One Way the Democrats Could Blow the Midterms ‐ and Lord Help ‘Em, They're Doing It!
2026-10-25
[PJ] Forget about packing the Supreme Court, banning ICE, or impeaching the president (again): Should they win congress, the Democrats’ shrewdest move would be moving Election Day to September.

’Cause if elections were held in September, the Democrats would be undefeated. They’d go from the donkeys to the ’72 Dolphins. The Democrats would run the whole country!

But alas, they always peak too early.

Fun fact: In the last FIVE presidential elections, during the month of September, the Democrats have led the "poll of polls" aggregate every flippin’ time.

It’s become a clear PR pattern: The Democrats build momentum, blitz the media, and peak in popularity before Election Day — and sometimes, they’re so far ahead that the Republicans can’t catch up. Sure, the race tightens down the stretch (uncomfortably so), but the Dems still win.

But an awful lot of the time, the donkeys are gassed. There’s nothing left in the tank.

So their momentum stalls — and the Republicans soar ahead by the first Tuesday of November. The Dems are all out of ammo, all out of energy, and all out of ideas. Victory slips through their fingers hooves.
