Dems cynically help MAGA Republicans win again — despite their ‘threat to democracy’ shtick

Oops, they did it once more: Democrats managed to push two extra “MAGA Republicans” to victory in Tuesday’s New Hampshire main. For all their warnings of a MAGA “menace to democracy,” they see MAGA candidates as an enormous boon for the Democratic Celebration — and so value Dems’ lively help.

Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer’s tremendous PAC spent a whopping $3.2 million on advertisements attacking reasonable GOP Senate candidate Chuck Morse. That helped put MAGA-champion Don Bolduc (who was operating out of cash towards the top of the marketing campaign) excessive.

Bolduc will face Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan in November. With an approval score of simply 35%, she’s extremely weak, however a College of New Hampshire ballot in April projected she’d nonetheless beat Bolduc by a degree — however would’ve misplaced to Morse by two. So boosting her possibilities by simply three factors was sufficient for Schumer to threat a win by 2020-election-denying Bolduc.

Funding from Democrats — some $562,000, Roll Name studies — additionally helped Robert Burns, one other Trumpie, beat reasonable Republican George Hansel within the race for a Home seat. Dems had aired advertisements calling Burns “the one pro-Trump, unapologetic conservative” on the poll to appeal to MAGA voters for him. Success: He slid previous Hansel by two factors.

Counting the New Hampshire wins, Democratic interference, to the tune of $53 million, has now aided a complete of six victorious MAGA candidates in GOP primaries. But Dems — together with, most notably, President Joe Biden himself — declare these persons are out to kill American democracy.

Schumer and different occasion leaders both don’t actually consider their very own claims, or are completely satisfied to feed the menace to democracy itself simply to guard their very own energy. Both means, it’s squalid.
