on the First Two Democrat Debates"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I had planned to ignore the first few Democrat debates.\u00a0 There are so many awful candidates that I figured if I could let them whittle it down to a dozen or so I could skip a lot of the really mush-headed nonsense that the truly hopeless candidates say.\u00a0 But after I saw a few of the highlights on the news sites I realized that there isn\u2019t anything but mush-headed Democrats in this race.\u00a0 So, I did a viewing of the telecasts and I was able to come to a few conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that I decided was that the script for this soap opera is written to allow some of the truly stupidest members of the clown college to have their moment in the sun.\u00a0 The kabuki theater about Joe Biden\u2019s involvement with anti-bussing legislation was a well planned and choreographed operation.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure even Creepy Uncle Joe was in on the gag.\u00a0 Elizabeth Warren was thrown some softballs to allow her to give her set speeches on climate change and health care.\u00a0 Pete Buttigieg was allowed the opportunity to address the killing of a South Bend black man by a white cop in a venue where he could display the requisite amount of anguish to defuse the disqualifying nature of this offense against Democrat sensibilities.\u00a0 And all podium denizens were allowed a couple of shots at President Trump just to prove their woke bona fides.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing I decided was that despite the beating Biden took at the hands of Kamala Harris he would still be the candidate.\u00a0 I believe the set pieces that the also-rans are being handed are for the purpose of deciding who will be the running mate to Creepy Uncle Joe.\u00a0 A lot of headlines and gallons of electronic ink were expended trying to make us think that Warren, Buttigieg or Harris are now within striking distance of being the front-runner.\u00a0 The latest poll (for what it\u2019s worth) has Biden dropping from about 38 to 31 percent.\u00a0 That still leaves him about 12 points ahead of the second-place candidate Comrade Bernie Sanders.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it, adding a woman and especially a minority woman as his running mate will help Biden overcome the creep factor associated with his shoulder clutching, hair-sniffing fetish activities.\u00a0 This is meant to counteract the disappointment that the more \u201cwoke\u201d sections of the Democrat coalition will experience when Joe has to pivot hard right to avoid losing all the less crazy inhabitants of the United States during the general election.\u00a0 So, until that time comes, we are regaled with tales of green energy and the \u201cmillions of green energy jobs\u201d that always are just over the rainbow of a democrat election victory.\u00a0 And the tweaks to Obamacare that will render it a panacea for all healthcare problems.\u00a0 And repeal of the Second Amendment and retroactive abortions and universal college loan debt forgiveness and free college for all and transgender emotional support animals for blue haired women and, and, and.\u00a0 Well you get the picture.\u00a0 Right now, it\u2019s all about throwing the base red meat (or in this case tofu) and inspiring the true believers to think Pete Buttigieg could actually be Commander in Chief of the United States which of course is absurd.<\/p>\n<p>And the third thing I decided was that barring a rollicking simultaneous visit by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse President Trump will steamroll Creepy Uncle Joe or any of the lesser members of the Democrat Travelling Freak Show in the 2020 election.\u00a0 Seriously, these people are an embarrassment.\u00a0 And without a doubt, the more intelligent members of that party are skipping this election to avoid the stigma of losing. \u00a0Chuck Schumer is no Einstein but he looks like him when compared to Corey Booker or Kamala Harris.\u00a0 I imagine he thinks he\u2019d have a much better chance running after President Trump is term limited.\u00a0 I have to assume we won\u2019t be seeing any of these people running in 2024.\u00a0 Obviously, Biden and Sanders will be, at best, in nursing homes. \u00a0Harris, Booker, Gillibrand and Warren will be hiding out in the Senate making believe they are important but the kookier members of this group will have disappeared down rat holes never to be heard from again.\u00a0 I guess I can continue to watch snippets of the Democrat debates but honestly it will only be so I can confirm my Biden prediction and guess which of the sideshow attractions will be his running mate.\u00a0 And maybe just to get a few laughs.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>After you&#8217;ve read enough sexbot articles on Drudge maybe switch to something
