The Democrats probably weren’t beating Donald Trump or the GOP no matter what they did or said — in either November or 2020. The economy is just too good. But they certainly had a chance if they didn’t go completely off the rails.
But then they chose illegal immigration as their headline issue. And as their new star (DNC Chair Tom Perez calls her “the future of the party”), Dems just elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a proud socialist. She was a bartender last year. Now call her “congresswoman.” She believes in open borders, abolishing ICE, sanctuary cities and that illegal aliens “deserve the right of passage” to freely enter the United States. Her words. I’m not joking.
No one could be that dumb and clueless, could they? Yup. See “Democrat” in the dictionary.
I’ll get to that. But first, the good news keeps coming in waves for President Trump.
■ The Trump economy added another 213,000 jobs in June. The U.S. Department of Labor also revised the April and May job figures upward by 37,000.
■ Even better news: Some 601,000 Americans re-entered the workforce in June. The economy is so good and wages rising so fast, everyone on the sidelines wants back in the game.
■ A record 155,576,000 Americans were employed in June, the most in history.
■ Pay growth is up every month this year, with blue-collar wages growing the fastest.
■ Because of Trump’s “Hire American” policy, even disabled Americans are seeing record job growth.
■ The U.S. trade deficit just plunged the most in 10 years. And. U.S. exports rose to an all-time record. Trump is winning “trade wars” for U.S. workers and companies.
■ Because of the Trump tax cuts, more than $300 billion was repatriated to the United States in just the first quarter.
How bad can it get for those poor, clueless, delusional Democrats?
