This week the Democrats will make their pitch to the country at the Democratic Convention in Chicago. They will have to make the case that their party has done America right in the last four years while ignoring some fairly damning evidence that they have not.
The convention will happen in Chicago where the crime rate is up by 53% since the Biden/Harris administration took office. This is the type of crime that Democrats pretend is not happening. The Democrats are pretending that crime is down on their watch but it's not. The streets of Chicago have been lined with police and protestors all weekend. Can Democrats address this in a satisfactory way?
The Democrats will have to contend with tens of thousands of protestors who want the Democrats to stop supporting the war in Gaza. Kamala Harris says that she is working around the clock with President Biden to secure a ceasefire and get the hostages home. At the same time, the Biden administration just sent another $20 billion in military aid to Israel last week, including F-15 fighter jets and tank munitions. This brings the total number of arms deals with Israel to five.
The Democrats will also make a pitch that the economy is fine even though we all know it's not fine. Vice President Harris unveiled a new economic plan that would include $1.7 trillion in handouts, including $25,000 for first-time homebuyers and $6,000 tax breaks for lower and middle-income families who have a baby. The plan also includes price controls and medical debt relief. The New York Post calls it Kamunism. Guess what will happen if she starts to control prices on items? Shortages. It's Economics 101.
Despite all of these tough realities on the issues, the Democrats are pretty pumped to gather in Chicago, as they should be. If you're going to rally around your party, you should believe in the causes. But they threw Joe Biden under the bus out of disloyalty and dirty politics and now they plan to show him "so much love" and "tears of joy when he walks into that hall." Given that, how will you receive their enthusiasm?
