Mark Halperin posted a Letter from a Democrat

This is very eye opening and shows the Democrats are collapsing in real time...
Plenty of Democrats are steadfast in their defense of the conduct of their party’s members of Congress in the chamber last night during Donald Trump’s speech, mostly justifying what was done in protest by pointing to the president’s own conduct and policies.
Here is a different and striking perspective from a Wide World of News reader, a (now) former Democrat who gave me permission to print her email, without the sender’s name:
Hi Mark,
I watched the speech last night and 2 Way this morning. I’m a Democrat, my immediate family and siblings are Democrats, we didn’t vote for Trump.
Last night for me was my breaking point. I watched with my husband as fellow Democrats (ironically wearing pink for women) sat there either stone faced or seething with disgust while the family of Laken Riley was honored and a young boy with cancer became an honorary secret service agent. I’m switching parties. It’s been coming for awhile, but that was the moment for me.
I have a young family member that was the victim of assault, I have family in law enforcement, we have all been touched in some way by cancer, and I have not been able to come to terms with what I witnessed from Democrats last night. It was surreal. It was like an episode of Scooby Doo where they pull off the masks and show you who the villains are. I literally couldn’t sleep last night. I can’t believe I’m saying this. But I’m done. As a woman, a mother, as a HUMAN, I’m just done. When I heard Nicole Wallace’s heinous remark I said to my husband “who are these people?!”
They don’t represent me anymore, or who I am. I can finally admit to myself that despite my personal dislike of Trump, I begrudgingly admit I support some of what he is actually doing. I can’t think of much I support that the Democrats have been doing for a long time, and frankly I don’t even know what they stand for now except the right to choose ( which is no longer enough) and men having the right to invade what were once my personal spaces.
I admit… I actually smiled when I saw the First Lady. I cried when the boy hugged the secret service agent. I realized I have so missed this quintessentially American feeling of pride. Pride for my fellow citizens, pride for my country. I’m flabbergasted at myself but it feels like a relief to admit all of this. I can’t say I’m MAGA…. but I know now after last night I am no longer a Democrat.
Lastly, love the Morning Meeting, love Meghan and if the Democrats were more like Dan, I could say I still was one.Get some rest!
Best,
REDACTED

Megyn Kelly show has on Mark Halperin.
He shared more.
They also discussed AG Bondi AND WHAT POSESSED HER to provide the epstein binders to KIRK, POSO. And it was a dud
Bondi was acting on her own. WHY did she make the influencers look bad,?

This ^^^ was me over 30 years ago when Slick Willie arrived on the stage with his Saxabone on the Arsenio Hall Show.

If it took her this long to realize this then she is hopelessly retarded

The comments for that Tweet also give me hope.

This is why I want Trump to keep doing what he's doing. Those still left in the Democratic party are seething that Trump has been so successful thus far and there's not a scandal in sight to hold him in check like during his first term. Those still left in the Democratic part are of the overly-emotional and lightly self-controlled ilk, so as their seething grows they will become more and more desperate to find some magic anti-Trump phrase, or costume, or interpretive dance, or whatever. They refuse to believe it's their stances that are pushing people away. The more they fail at that, the more unhinged they get and it pushes more and more voters from them, making those newly liberated voters question why they ever considered believing things like "males should be able to compete in female sports and go to the bathroom with little girls."
When your opponent is busy beating themselves, don't stop them.

This was how I felt in 2020. It won't be long before she is 100 percent MAGA.

There are many from that era, who still vote Democrat, that have zero clue the Democrats of today are nothing like them or have anything in common with them.
Many of them in the South are bound to the Democrat party like a Jew, Muslim, or Mormon that are deeply swayed with the conviction of Jesus Christ, but know it means risking being outcast by family.

Libtards are boxed in a corner
1. Because they have gone so radical they are leaking so many centrist or just left of center Dems. The leftovers are not enough to overcome
2. The only way to get them back is to move back towards the center. But by doing so they will lose their most radical voters
They really have no platform. They’ve used up the race card too many times that gig is up. We all saw who was racist last night and it was not the right.
Dems have no plan for economy. No plan for world peace. No plan for rebuilding America and bring good paying jobs back.
They really have no place to go. They’ll always have around 35% of voters in their camp but are losing the 36-51% range needed to win.
Pubs probably have a rock solid 42% and gain with all the ones in middle (left and right) who believe in message to put them in the 60% range.
I just can’t see any way the left can get enough back.
Having said that its not just simple numbers. Its about districts and even cheating that even keeps both houses so close. If it was fairly done (and not gerrymandered) we’d have 69-62 Senators.
