One would think the Democratic legislature of New Jersey would be eager to pass a tax hike on millionaires now that the state has a Democratic governor. After all, they passed the hike five times during the tenure of Republican Chris Christie even though they knew he would veto it. Gov. Phil Murphy has proposed "$1.7 billion in new taxes and other revenue to pay for public schools, public-employee pensions and other priorities." His fellow Democrats have "balked" at this idea along with a rise in sales tax.

Axios ran an article this morning about how the Democratic black women running for Congress "feel slighted by Democrats." 43 black women have decided to run for seats in the chambers, but only Lauren Underwood has received "backing of the national campaign organization." The Democrat Party praises itself for being the progressive party and often props up black causes and people. DIVERSITY! Is this a case of actions speak louder than words? Maybe the Democrats are just like the GOP and care more about winning than sex and race as they've led many to believe.

Self-proclaimed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) caused quite a commotion in 2016 when he challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. Hillary came out on top, but not without controversy. Leaks showed those in the DNC worked to sabotage Sanders' campaign. The energy behind Sanders' presidential bid may still be abuzz as his former campaign manager Jeff Weaver said the senator is still mulling a 2020 run. But will it work? Politico found that his grassroots group Our Revolution is "in disarray."

California has an odd primary known as "top-two primary system," which means that "the two candidates who get the most votes move on to the November vote regardless of party." This could cause a major headache for the state, which is why the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is pouring money into key districts in southern California to take advantage of the retirement of two representatives and a Hillary Clinton win in 2016.

Aas these months leading up to the midterm elections have shown us, the Democrat Party has not recovered from Hillary Clinton's loss in November 2016. For people who shout FORWARD and CHANGE, the progressive wing of the Democrat Party shows no interest in moving FORWARD or in CHANGE. Everyone else must move forward and change though. They cannot accept the fact that the majority of Americans, even within the party, do not hold hard leftist views. Democratic leaders, however, have absorbed this information and have begun to back more so-called "moderate" Democrats in an effort to flip the House and even the Senate to the annoyance of left-leaning progressive Democrats.

Wait, what? Did the Democrats actually listen!? Has Hell frozen over? For the past few weeks, I've blogged about the Democrats' loss of registered voters, how millennials have turned their backs to the Democrats because they want jobs, and a Democrat pollster's recommendation the party concentrate on the economy. Maybe, just maybe, the Democrats have opened their ears and eyes! Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has urged Democrats to spend more time on economic issues instead of bashing President Donald Trump.

In the days following Kanye's Wests positive remarks about Trump, he was ridiculed by late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmell. Other celebrities like Snoop Dog attacked Kanye on Twitter. These weren't only unfair criticisms of Kanye, they were warnings to others. Stray from the liberal narrative and you too will be fair game.

Cynthia Nixon is taking the fight to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo aggressively. WABC in New York offered to host a televised debate and Nixon jumped at the chance before Cuomo even had a chance to respond. She also said she wants the debate to be between only the two of them.

WEIRD. Why am I only seeing this in Huffington Post? Oh yeah...that's because other outlets have hyped up Democrat hopes for the midterm. They also think trashing President Donald Trump will help along with constantly talking about numerous social justice issues. Top pollster Stan Greenburg, along with Democracy Corps' Nancy Zdunkewicz, and Women Voices Women Vote President Page Gardner, has accepted reality and warned his party that their "momentum has stalled" and will not pick up if they don't address real issues. You know, JOBS AND THE ECONOMY.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) presented the GOP a gold wrapped present on a silver platter when she told The Boston Globe she's not going anywhere and wants the Speaker job back:
“We will win. I will run for speaker. I feel confident about it. And my members do, too,” Pelosi told a meeting of Globe reporters and editors. She was in Boston for a Democratic fund-raiser hosted by Representative Katherine Clark.

A new Reuters poll shows that millennials have started to move away from the Democrat party. While the Democrats tout environment and social justice as key draws, the millennials who spoke to Reuters want mainly one thing: a stable economy.

California's citizens are busy collecting signatures and submitting ballot proposals so that they can change the laws created by the Democratic Party-dominated state legislature. Groups had been hard at work to repeal the onerous gas tax that has been in place since last November. They managed to collect enough signatures, which will mean the proposition to repeal will be on the ballot in time for the state's gubernatorial election this November.
