The clock has run out on Democrats' chaotic closing midterm message

Democrats have largely ignored voters concerns as the clock runs out on midterm elections.

Here's the deal: as you read this, Americans everywhere are being crushed by 40-year highs of inflation, crime is out of control, and we're all in an abusive relationship with our local gas pump. The president likes to brag that prices are down since their peak, but a gallon of gas is still $1.40 higher than the day Biden took office. Translation: For the average person, the beat downs in "Fight Club" have nothing on "Fuel Club."

Yet in the closing moments of this election, Democrats have spent less time on core issues than migrants did on Martha's Vineyard. When they have touched a big topic they've generally made things worse, like when President Biden addressed the fuel crisis by saying he plans to close every coal plant in the country. Nothing says, "I feel your pain" like promising to lay off tens of thousands of workers in the name of the same green energy policies that sent fuel prices soaring. It's the financial equivalent of throwing a drowning man a sofa and if you listened closely as he spoke, you could hear every Democrat candidate slapping their foreheads in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.
