Wow.
Just when you think things couldn’t get worse for the Dems, after that horrific and low-rated convention, the polls come out — and if the Dems are standing on a ledge ready to jump right now, they will be soon.
Yes, it’s that bad.
As you know, it’s customary for the candidate who accepts the nomination at their convention to see a nice bump in the polls.
Voters get jazzed and excited and feel positive after a week or so of political festivities and the candidate usually sees a 4-7 point bump.
I mean, this is tradition. It happens all the time, right?
Well, except in 2020…of course.
Sleepy Creepy Dementia Joe and his team of radical communist handlers put on such a ghastly convention, filled with promises of freebies for illegal aliens (while Americans are out of work), open borders (while we’re fighting off this God-forsaken pandemic), and celebrating these communist terrorists (they call them “peaceful protesters) who are burning. down cities and beating innocent Americans in the streets.
Not to mention, they’re also touting defunding the police and ICE as well.
It’s complete anarchy. How on earth do these people think this type of platform appeals to middle-class America?
The Dems are literally running a political platform for people with blue hair and nose rings…and the polls show it.
A new CBS/YouGov poll that came out POST DNC convention has President Trump now up 10 points (yes I said TEN POINTS) with the coveted “independent” voter.
This is unheard of.
Here’s how it breaks down:
CBS News/ YouGov poll – post DNC Among Independents Trump 47% (+10) Biden 37% CBS poll before DNC Trump 45% (+5) Biden 40% *CBS poll party split: 41.6% Dem/30.2% GOP D+11.4 Those Independent numbers are not good for Democrats.
LOL. Seriously, this has to be the first time in history the OTHER candidate got a big bump from his opponent's own convention. https://t.co/ivbk6Oy2D3 [2]

You can’t win a political race on “Orange Man Bad.” You just can’t.
Sure, you can rile a few people up and excite your base, but you need to do more than that.
And you also need to run a candidate who isn’t one sneeze away from full-blown Alzheimer’s and a VP candidate with the personality of extra-rough sandpaper.
How will the Dems adjust to this? Well, my guess will be that the media will start over-emphasizing how “moderate” Joe and Kamala are in hopes of gaining back some ground with the independents who they desperately need.
But I have news for them. It’s not going to work.
See, social media has made it nearly impossible for candidates to successfully “rebrand” themselves as they did back in the day – before Facebook and Twitter became a regular source of “news” for Americans.
There’s too much “information” flowing out there and now they called out in real-time and their own words are instantly thrown back in their faces.
Dems have made their radical bed, and now they’re going to have to sleep in it – all the way until election day.
