Confident People Don't Do What Democrats Are Doing at the End of the Campaign
2026-11-01
[Townhall] Confidence is an important factor in any election — candidates need to project it, and supporters need to feel it for morale purposes to help them get across the finish line. Democrats had all the confidence in the world a month ago...but it’s not a month ago anymore. In the closing two weeks of the 2026 midterms, Democrats have begun to act like people concerned that they’re going to lose.

In Alaska, Democrats were always worried about losing — it’s Alaska, after all. That’s why they cooked up this stupid "Find another Dan Sullivan" scam to confuse just enough voters to get into the second round of ranked-choice voting.

Democrat Mary Peltola’s campaign sought out another Sullivan — seeking a "white man" to help save a "woman of color" to win a Senate seat. When the Bible of the left, the New York Times, broke the story that the Peltola campaign was not only involved, but conceived of the idea, it undercut the last six months when they’d vocally and actively denied having anything to do with it.

Rather than cut bait, admit the unquestioned and obvious truth, and try to move past it as quickly as possible, they’re still denying it and hoping it fades. But hope isn’t a strategy.
