"Donald Trump almost fell when he was at one of the service academies. It ended up being more of a shuffle than a fall. And Trump blew it off as no big deal. Even though the lap dog media tried to make it look like Trump had a stroke, it really was no big deal."
INYMI - Uncle Joe fell again yesterday. Am I making fun of him for falling? Not a bit. I have fallen as I have aged. No fun. But here is the deal folks - when you are the President - by definition, the most powerful man on Earth, you are expected to be almost "super human". To fall, for the entire world to see, a President, no matter how fit, appears mortal. And therein lies the rub.
Donald Trump almost fell when he was at one of the service academies. It ended up being more of a shuffle than a fall. And Trump blew it off as no big deal. Even though the lap dog media tried to make it look like Trump had a stroke, it really was no big deal.
Any other Presidents fall? Gerald Ford did. Again, no big deal. Ford was an athlete. And George Bush (41), blew chunks while in Japan. He kind of fainted when he sullied the Japanese Premiere's shoes. And his son, George Bush (43), showed how coordinated he was, when some Arab threw his shoe at him. The Arab missed, as Bush ducked just in time.
Where am I going with this? Age, and how we age. Bernie Sanders is older than Biden. He has aged better. Sharper, and more steady on his feet. Newly minted Senator Fetterman has not aged well at all. He probably will not make it to Biden's current age. Diane Feinstein has aged well until she started bumping into 100. Now age has caught up with her. No matter however, she can still be wheeled into the Senate chamber, so she can be told how to vote.
Now here is the very bad news for the Democrats. In all my years, I have never seen the Democrat bench so sparse. They have a geriatric who wants to run for another four years. He is currently older than Methuselah, and not getting any younger. His Veep is a reviled person. Even those in her own party, can't stand her. After that comes Mayor Pete. His star became very tarnished with his handling of planes, trains and automobiles. Robert Kennedy Jr. wants the job, but his chances are longer than a long shot.
The Republicans could put an end to any drama which might ensue from the 2024 election. It would involve Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis smoking the peace pipe, and deciding in 2024 the winning ticket would be Trump for Pres, and DeSantis for Veep. Trump can only run one more time, and then the runway would be wide open for the much younger DeSantis in 2028 and 2032.
Nicki Haley could suspend, as Trump would ask her to be his SOS when elected. Vivek Ramaswamy could also suspend, as Trump would ask him to be his Treasury guy. Tim Scott would excellent as Trump's National Security Advisor, and Tom Cotton could resign from the Senate to be Trump's SecDef. And finally, Mike Lee would also resign from the Senate to Trump's AG.
Will that happen? Probably not. Only in my dreams. Instead, Trump and DeSantis will go after each other hammer and tong. They only team which can beat Team Red going forward, is Team Red. They can so weaken themselves by infighting, some mutts from the other side could carry on where Biden left off. And that - would be bad - very bad.
