With the Democrats’ brutal thumping now officially in the history books, Politico Magazine looks back at some of the most egregious examples of mouth-running from the 2014 election cycle. Some of this is just OVER THE TOP! *** Sen. Chuck Schumer on Meet the Press: “Well, I think we will hold the Senate. You know, I know all the pundits are saying Republicans will take the Senate. Democrats are going to prove the pundits wrong on Election Day when we keep the Senate, three reasons. First and foremost, economic issues predominate. Ebolas in the news, ISIS is in the news, but the average voter, every poll shows far and away, cares most about economic issues. They tend to be for Democrats when economic issues like minimum wage, like equal pay for women, like not sending jobs overseas predominate. Second, we have a much better ground game. You can add two to three points at a minimum…for each of those races. Just about every one of those races. So if its 44, 43 [percentage points], were probably ahead. And third, as the race get down to the final moments, the voters focus on the two candidates. Not on the national referendum. When the two candidates are compared almost inevitably, we do better. So economic issues, better ground game, better candidates will put us over the top November.”
