Fox News host Harris Faulkner had a pointed question for a Democratic guest on her show Friday, asking if his party was actually accepting their election defeat with grace. This came after former President Donald Trump secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency, while Republicans picked up four seats in the Senate and are likely to retain control of the House of Representatives.
Faulkner asked Brad Howard, the founder of lobbying firm Corcoran Street Group, if Democrats were handling Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat with grace. Instead of directly answering the question, Howard began reciting talking points and praising Harris’ concession speech.
Faulkner was not satisfied with this answer and cut Howard off, saying “we don’t need her talking points.” She then asked for a real answer to her question, which was about how Democrats were handling their defeat.
Howard acknowledged that there was “a lot of soul-searching” going on in the Democratic party and that they were looking for someone to blame. However, he emphasized that now was not the time for blame, but rather a time to figure out what went wrong.
Faulkner pushed back, pointing out that it seemed like some in the Democratic party were looking to place the blame on voters. She reminded Howard that it was not the voters’ responsibility to come to them, but rather the party’s responsibility to go to the voters.
Howard agreed and acknowledged that the Democratic party had a major problem on their hands, as they had lost support from every sub-demographic. He emphasized the need for the party to fix these issues and connect with voters.
Faulkner brought up the fact that some in the Democratic party were blaming voters, and Howard agreed that this was not the right approach. He emphasized the importance of conducting interviews with voters to understand their thoughts and concerns.
Overall, the exchange between Faulkner and Howard highlighted the issues within the Democratic party and how they were handling their election defeat. It was clear that Faulkner was not satisfied with Howard’s initial response and was pushing for a more direct and honest answer.
The conversation also brought attention to the fact that the Democratic party was struggling to connect with voters and had lost support across the board. This could be seen as a win for Trump and the Republican party, who were able to secure a significant victory in both the presidential race and congressional elections.
In a time of political division, it is important to have discussions like this and focus on finding solutions rather than playing the blame game. As both Faulkner and Howard emphasized, the focus should be on understanding and connecting with voters, rather than blaming them for a party’s shortcomings.
They don’t get it and as long as they keep ignoring the perfectly obvious they are going to continue to lose. It is time for new leadership in the Democratic Party. Get rid of the Obamas the Clinton’s the Pelosi the Schumer these are people who only care about power they do not care for the American people. Once you get a taste for that power and what comes with it you never want to let it go, never. Politicians should never be in a position long enough to achieve that power either vote them out or enforce term limits. Even a 8 year President can’t match the power of a 30 year Nancy Pelosi. She is the most powerful politican in the country just due to her longevity
Federal voter ID for federal elections. States can adopt it by resolution if they choose to do so. Europe has 46 countries requiring voter ID out of 47 countries. Copy Mexico and issue federal voter ID. They require a person to prove that they are Mexican citizens and meet age requirements. Then they issue the ID free of charge. Paper ballots only, no voting machines. Here in Alaska, we mark our ballots with a pen, then the voter feeds them into a scanning system that registers the vote. Within an hour after the polls close, we hook the scanner up to a phone line and transmit the results to the state capitol. In a few hours the results are in. Some of the small villages have to mail their ballots but that is not often enough votes to change things. It could also hold a chip and have multiple uses.
Democrat politicians continue to deflect and avoid direct answers. The party needs to purge all the marxist leaning politicians’ in the party and rethink their priorities. The democrat party is out of touch with everyday American people.
The democrat party is out of touch with reality!
Democrats have never abandoned their ownership mentality. They treat Blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities like if they were of their property, no one likes to be treated like common chattel.
Democrats also believe they own women too and that all women think with their uterus only and are incapable of much else, it’s a grave insult.
Democrats push the lgbt, abortion and open borders issues to the point of exhaustion while people are struggling more than ever to survive. None of those issues are going to help people to afford food, housing and other needs.
No amount of celebrities, parties and displays of billions are going to fix anything for the people.
The Democrat party just make themselves look like gods on Olympus who wear laurels on their heads and drink ambrosia all day while manipulating the mere mortals down below for their entertainment.
