2020s: no political reporter ever got fired for filing a "democratic disarray/democrats worry" story
"A democratic strategist, on the condition of anonymity, expressed concerns that Biden might get 'too many' votes. 'If Biden wins in a landslide, that would totally destroy his positioning as a bipartisan consensus candidate. The only strategy is to lose more votes.'"
"Big ticket Democratic donors, speaking anonymously, privately expressed concerns about the 'blue wave' possibility, in which Democrats sweep into power. 'If millions of people vote Democratic this will give them nearly unlimited power. We call that the nightmare scenario.'"
"'The Democrats are going about this all wrong,' said Republican consultant Terry Mcgillicuddy. 'For years they've tried to turn out the vote, and now they're doing it. That's obviously the wrong tactic and will blow up in their faces. You don't win with votes.'"
"Historians from Liberty University explained that Democrats are 'courting disaster' and pointed to the 'bloodbaths' they faced in the elections of 1976, 1992, and 2008, 'when Democrats really screwed the pooch by electing a president.'"
"Former Senator Joe Lieberman urged the Democrats to 'leave this destructive path' and return to the 'Democratic Party I knew and loved' who traditionally lost important election. 'It isn't too late,' Lieberman advised."
