The day after Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, Democratic donors poured more than $30 million into Democratic campaigns and groups through ActBlue, shattering its own one-day fundraising records.
In the 23 hours after POLITICO reported a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, ActBlue took in just $9 million — just a small uptick from the days prior. CThe modest totals, which reached $12 million by midnight on Tuesday, based on a POLITICO analysis of the ActBlue donation tracker, are an early sign that Democrats can’t count on abortion to single-handedly turn around a midterm cycle that’s already trending badly for them. Interviews with more than a dozen Democratic

To most Americans (even most Democrats), inflation, the price of gas, and crime are more pressing issues than a Constitutional right to kill unborn children -- especially since abortion will still continue unchecked in the states that want it.

The vast majority of Americans, whether Dem or Pub, are basically fair-minded citizens. But the illegitimacy of this president, every single cabinet pick, the Supreme Court and all the alphabet agencies who've sullied their reputations over the past several administrations STINK ON ICE and we all know it. The air is thick with the funk of rot and we are in a fumigating mood. OUT - out damned spots!

Why would SCOTUS save Democrats - the Dems can still abort, rather then control there behavior or use birth control. Nothing has change, just move from one government to another.

Prior to Roe the abortion issue was left to the states. The commies had already legalized fetus murder in New York and California, but they were not interested in a long political fight through each state. Roe was a manufactured case, as the real "Roe" Norma McCorvey later admitted after her conversion to Catholicism. Roe was a political device to short-circuit state's rights. Its taken 50 years for the state's to claw back that right and they are on the precipice of winning, therefore the Dems must resort to street theater populated by their indentured class of college students.
Just like the pussy hat march, the optics of young women screaming against any restriction on killing their babies is not going to play well in Peoria. Americans are much more aware of the Left's machinations than they were 50 years ago. We've experienced Astro-turfing and recognize the signs of manufactured outrage. The rebels of the '60s have become the establishment, while morality and tradition are the new insurgents. God works in mysterious ways. "Behold, I make all things new."

Demonrats have a decision to make: Either murder a baby or let inflation reign to destroy the economy.

I think this “bombshell” story is already on life support. They sprung it too early. It’s impossible, even for the left, to sustain this level of “outrage” very long.

I'm not skeptical. It will not save them in November.

Don’t worry, Politico. SCOTUS will side with you on vote fraud, so it’s a wash.

Inflation will kill the Democrats in the November election. As when the American people visit the grocery store or gas up their motor vehicles those inflationary factors is hitting Americans directly right between their eyes, and those adverse inflationary factors will be considered to be all on Biden!

If Dems are hoping that this political storm will help their turnout in November. they had better realize it will turn out conservatives as well.
