Democrats’ civil war is
blazing — now the GOP will feast

The Democratic Party is at
war with itself — and in Maine, the fight has spilled into the open.
Graham Platner, an alleged
rapist with a Nazi tattoo on his chest, won the Democratic nomination for
United States Senate last month, beating the candidate the party establishment
had recruited by a commanding 53-point margin.
For months, Republicans and
others had warned that Platner was unfit for the job.
The Democrats did not
care.
His baggage didn’t matter.
His poll numbers did.

Maine’s next Democratic
nominee for US Senate will be picked in a backroom in just two weeks,
crowned by a few hundred party insiders at a convention the public
never voted for.
The candidates fighting for
the seat currently aren’t even required to debate each other.
Maine voters who poured
their time, money and passion into this race will be handed a nominee and told
to clap.
If that sounds familiar, it
should — this is the same party that in 2024 shoved President Joe Biden aside
and planted Kamala Harris at the top of its ticket without a single
vote being cast.
[...]
Both sides are growing
increasingly furious, as establishment Democrats publicly slam Bernie
Sanders’ clown car of unvetted, untested, severely character-flawed socialist
candidates while progressives openly plot to take down the liberal elite.
This civil war is tearing
the Democratic Party to shreds, and it doesn’t stop at Maine.
[...]
From coast to coast, the
radical base is in open revolt — and a frightened establishment is doing
whatever it takes to hold the line, even if that means silencing the very
voters it claims to represent.
The irony is that Democrats’
infighting only boosts Republicans’ chances of winning critical battleground
races this year.
Even as their establishment
is begging progressives to show up and vote in the fall, they’re putting their
finger on the scale to remove a leftist darling.
Meanwhile, progressives are
nominating socialists and communists under the Democratic Party banner, forcing
vulnerable incumbents in tough races to answer for their insane policies.
And I, as chairman of the
Republican National Committee, could not be happier.
[...]
And while the Democrats
spend the next four months clawing at one another in the dark, we’ll be out in
the daylight — registering voters ahead of November’s midterm elections,
getting them to the polls and making our case to the American people.
Let Democrats have their
civil war.
Republicans are fighting
every day to win the midterms and defy history in November.
