GOP ROMPS ON EDUCATION – OVERNIGHT: Who would have believed it? Historically, the Democrats have been known as the education party. They'd cornered the market. Why, wasn't it true that all people who read books were Democrats? All teachers? All college professors? We all knew that Republicans only read balance sheets and instruction manuals for Chevy pickups. Or maybe something on the history of the NFL. But wait. Something's happening. Hard to believe it, but the GOP has drunk the intellectual Kool-Aid. MIracles happen. From Breitbart:

Democrat extremism and the ongoing implosion of America’s government-run school system have given Republicans a seven-point advantage on who can better handle the issue of education.

Rasmussen asked 1,000 likely voters, “Who do you trust more to deal with education issues. Democrats or Republicans?” Only 36 percent said Democrats, while 43 percent said Republicans. Eighteen percent said the two parties are “about the same.”

What should worry Democrats most of all is that only 34 percent of women chose Democrats, while 42 percent chose the GOP. That’s an eight-point gap. A plurality of 45 percent of black voters chose Democrats, while a whopping 31 percent chose Republicans. Normally, those numbers would be something like 80 percent for Democrats and 11 percent for Republicans.

Even 12 percent of Democrats chose the GOP on education, as did a plurality of 42 percent of Independents. Only 25 percent of Independents chose Democrats.

Historically, education has been a top issue for Democrats, a winning issue, but the tables have turned since Democrats began to openly embrace the worst kind of corrupting and perverse extremism. Democrats backed closing government-run schools throughout much of the pandemic. Democrats favor the anti-science and cruel masking of kids. Democrats support teaching kids gay porn. Democrats support teaching white kids they are racist oppressors and black kids they have no chance of success in America.

Democrats want to sexualize and groom kids, teach them to fail, teach them to hate the greatest country in the history of the world, teach them everything but the basics required to make a living.

In this same poll, a massive majority of 84 percent said that in the upcoming congressional elections, education would be “very” (53 percent) or “somewhat” (31 percent) important. Only 13 percent said “not very” (12 percent) or “not at all” (1 percent) important.

When asked, “Is the quality of public schools in America getting better or worse?” A clear majority of 58 percent said “worse,” while only 13 percent said “better.”

COMMENT: The mothers' revolt started in Virginia, and the Republicans took advantage of it. The Dems ran against the mothers. The Dems are unemployed. The Dems still don't understand that mothers are important, and that mothers want the best schools for their kids. The Dems are asking, "What's a mother?" Like their Supreme Court nominee, who can't define "woman," the Dems can't define "mother." And they can't define "literacy."

The GOP has a supermarket filled with great issues. Now they must exploit them, and not make the same old Republican mistake – giving up before the race even starts. I think the party is past that. I'm already buying my popcorn for election night.
