"Tick tock, tick tock. Every day this goes by unresolved, the runway gets shorter and shorter. Trump's chances get better and better. After Biden got let off the hook by Robert Hur (for being an old man with a failing memory), Trump's argument about Biden's America having a two-tiered justice system just grew more legs."
Election Day is only in 269 days. Those days will go fast. How do I know? A good portion of those days will be summertime. And we ALL know how fast summer can wiz by. I have told my wife; this will be one for the ages. For the history books. If we can keep Mr. Trump out of jail and on all the state ballots, and if we can keep Mr. Biden out of a memory care facility, we can indeed have the matchup of the century. But after this week, Biden's chances of remaining a lucid, viable candidate are getting slimmer by the day. And Donald Trump's chances of staying on every state's ballot, hinge on the ladies and gentlemen of the Supreme Court.
Deep inside the apparatchik of the DNC, panic is setting in. The "what if" question is being asked. Uncle Joe has always been reliable in stoking hatred for Donald Trump. And it is by hatred alone, that the Democrats have a snowball's chance of winning in 2024. But what if Joe can't run? What is someone pulls that 25th Amendment stuff, and has Joe retired? Kamala has a hatred index on the right which almost matches Trump's hatred index on the left. But wait - what about someone else? Michele Obama? Gavin Newsome? Elmer Fudd? Anybody?
Don't think for a minute that idea has not crossed the minds of the deep thinkers in the Deep State. But what are the implications? The first woman Veep, a woman of some kind of color, being passed over for someone else? Where is the loyalty? Has Kamala not stayed out of trouble during this term? Sure - by staying out of doing her tasks. And she has cut back on her nonsensible, "word salad" ramblings. But she has about as much of a chance winning the election to be our next POTUS, as "none of above" has. Besides, she does have some kind of following within the party. To go over her head and push her out of the way, might unleash the "dogs of DNC war". Could be a civil war of sorts.
Tick tock, tick tock. Every day this goes by unresolved, the runway gets shorter and shorter. Trump's chances get better and better. After Biden got let off the hook by Robert Hur (for being an old man with a failing memory), Trump's argument about Biden's America having a two-tiered justice system just grew more legs. If the Supreme's vote in Trump's favor, and all of these other legal entanglements start to fade away, Trump could win in a landslide.
I know, I know. Nobody trusts the other side. The Dems could put up the most flawed candidate in the world, and if that person should beat Donald Trump - batten down the hatches. Many still feel the last election was "tainted". If Trump loses again to another more flawed candidate where there is no absolute custody of ballots, bunker up. Things might get ugly outside.
I still don't feel educated enough in game theory to game out all the possibilities, here. Two or three ways Biden could be pushed out-- 25th A, resignation, or physical incapacitation. An inability to debate Trump might sway the election beyond the "margin of fraud" and is anybody going to be willing to fraud for this puddin'-head?
ReplyDeleteDepending on when this happens-- soon, at convention or after, is KH capable of appearing a viable candidate? Can the Dems reasonably shove her out without alienating all the "DEI" chuckleheads in the Party? Do they have any other viable candidate and what about all of the legally pledged delegates for Biden? If they all vote for whom they are pledged on the first ballot (assuming D convention rules are anything like R rules are), Biden wins! What then?
A common way of asking this is: Is Trump the only R that can beat Biden? and is Biden the only D that can beat Trump?
ReplyDeleteMore information: DNC rules do not require delegates be "pledged" or "bound" as RNC rules do. So technically, Biden might NOT necessarily win on the first ballot. Then, huge bags of popcorn are brought in....
