Democrats confront their nightmare scenario on election eve as economic concerns overshadow abortion and democracy worries | CNN Politics

Here s where the Democrats are: they re inflation deniers, they are crime deniers, they re education deniers, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said on CNN s State of the Union on Sunday.

Hilary Rosen, a longtime Democratic consultant, said on the same show that her party had misjudged the mood of the electorate.

I m a loyal Democrat, but I am not happy. I just think that we are we did not listen to voters in this election. And I think we re going to have a bad night, Rosen told CNN s Dana Bash.

And this conversation is not going to have much impact on Tuesday, but I hope it has an impact going forward, because when voters tell you over and over and over again that they care mostly about the economy, listen to them. Stop talking about democracy being at stake.

I wish somebody would tell me, as if I were a second grader, why Dems thought “democracy is at stake” would be a winning message. Honest question. You may assume I like democracy, all things considered.
