Bill Maher Looks Toward A Grim Future As Democrat Shellacking Looms On Election Day

deadline.com:

Bill Maher instinctively knows what doom awaits Democrats on Tuesday’s Election Day, as polling indicates an arrow pointing down for Big Blue, So despite a few jokes at the top of the show, he spent the bulk of Friday’s Real Time trying to figure out how things went so wrong for an administration that came into office with the most votes in history and control of the legislative branch.

This week’s panel discussion included senior political correspondent for The New York Times and author of Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, Maggie Haberman, and The Washington Post columnist and host of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, Fareed Zakaria.

Neither of the guests disagreed with Maher’s rather gloomy assessment of Democrat prospects. Maher asked why the Supreme Court throwing abortion back to the states had so little impact on voter sentiment.

Zakaria had a simple answer: “The biggest issue is the economy and inflation.” He said that people are as pessimistic as they were in the Great Recession of 2008, and noted that inflation is “more more corrosive than people realize.” Haberman pointed out that the White House’s embrace of the left is what’s seen them struggle.
