Polls show that Democrats have a chance of winning the House, possibly even the Senate, in the 2018 midterm election.
We think that’s wrong… but if they do, it will be a disaster for America.
Here’s what 6 steps the Democrats will take to make sure they never lose power again:
- Investigate – and try to impeach – Donald Trump.
Democrats are already slobbering at the chance to launch dozens of never-ending investigations into the Trump administration – looking for one petty violation they can use to throw him out of office for good.
Democratic strategist and Obama 2012 campaigner Nate Lerner tweeted:
Another reason the Midterm elections matter — if Democrats take back the House they will have the power to launch investigations, subpoena witnesses, and hold public hearings on all of Trump’s criminal activity.

The Democrats have already tried to investigate everything – and promised to probe even more if they run the Congressional oversight committees.
They have already pried into the president’s thriving worldwide businesses, Trump officials’ personal e-mails, the firing of corrupt FBI Director James Comey, and the decision to give a security clearance to Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
They desperately want to investigate Michael Cohen, the Stormy Daniels payoff, and any other side-track they can to smear Trump in the 2020 presidential elections.
Post-2018 Democrats have a “road map to the full weaponization of government,” conservative Dan Bongino warned.
Nancy Pelosi has tried to tamp down talk of impeachment – but if Democrats win, they will be under massive pressure from their leftist base to deliver.
And that would be a disaster for a country finally climbing out of the early grave Obama dug for it. “If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash,” President Trump said.
In fact, George Soros developed a plan to do just that – and profit handsomely from America’s misery. If they get the chance, look for some Democrats to try to help pay back their billionaire pal in 2019.
- Raise your taxes.
They aren’t even hiding this one. When Republicans accused Nancy Pelosi of plotting to raise taxes if she becomes House Speaker in 2019, she admitted the idea was “accurate.”
The Democrats have already released a detailed plan to raise taxes if they get the chance – and not just a small bump, either.
The Democratic election blueprint calls for $1 trillion dollars in new taxes on working Americans.
The party would raise individual taxes, corporate taxes – even hike the death tax by $83 billion.
“These proposed tax increases would wipe out the benefits of tax reform, which include larger paychecks, salary bonuses, pay raises, increased employee retirement contributions, and utility rate cuts,” according to Americans for Tax Reform.
But they can’t have a good economy if Trump is running for re-election in 2020, can they?
- Put Obamacare on steroids.
President Trump ended the individual mandate for Obamacare and rolled back some of its worst features.
But recently, Democrats decided they want to supersize Obamacare into Bernie Sanders’ program, “Medicare for All.”
The socialized medicine plan would lead to long lines, doctor shortages, and Canadian-style rationing. By the time the average, middle class taxpayer can see a doctor, the disease would be virtually incurable.
And taxpayers would get the privilege of paying $32.6 trillion for this, a nonpartisan think tank has estimated.
That is, if they live.
- Shut down investigations into the Deep State.
Liberals want the 2018 midterms to be a referendum on Trump – and they’ll treat it that way, no matter what.
The Swamp did everything it could to rig the election and gin up a phony dossier to investigate, and impeach, Trump after he won.
They don’t want Trump pulling the plug on that. Democrats – and establishment Republicans – benefit too much by abusing the power to spy, wiretap and harass their enemies.
So, the Democrats will shut down every investigation Donald Trump is making into the Deep State – who sabotaged the 2016 election, how spies were placed into his campaign, how the FBI coordinated with the Obama administration to beat him, why Crooked Hillary has never been prosecuted for her illegal e-mail scheme (and so much else).
The Democrats will just defund all of these investigations – and everything slips back into darkness, so they can continue undermining democracy.
- Build back the Swamp.
Washington insiders report that the ultimate home of D.C. lobbyists and influence-peddlers – K Street – has already staffed up, waiting for Democrats to take back power.
These liberals believe in big government, and they’re ready and eager to cut sweetheart deals with their high-paying lobbyists and pressure groups with your money.
Congressional Democrats have already worked out some of the details of those pay-offs – they’re just waiting for January, when they’re sworn into office, to put them into place.
- Push for full socialism.
The head of the Democratic Party, Tom Perez, called 28-year-old socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “the future of the Democratic Party.” The former barista is on-board with Bernie Sanders’ socialism – she even belongs to the Democratic Socialists of America. If Democrats finally win in 2018, they’ll take it as a sign that America is ripe for full-blown socialism.
Of course, the Democrats will probably soft-pedal their hardcore agenda in 2018. They’ll try to sound mainstream and moderate, so they don’t blow the 2020 election.
And if they win the Congress and the presidency, like they did with Barack Obama in 2008, they plan to go full-steam ahead.
…that is, if voters give them the chance.
