Update \u2013 The Dem Race Begins to Take Shape"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>So, this week we\u2019ve lost Bill DeBlasio.\u00a0 As the President mentioned, New York City is in a panic because Bill\u2019s returning there and sure to cause fresh havoc in Gotham City.<\/p>\n<p>And word has come down from Spartacus that unless his backers send him $1.7 million before September 30<sup>th<\/sup>, he\u2019s going to drop his shield and short sword and drop out of the race.\u00a0 Kind of makes you wonder a little about why he\u2019s in the race.\u00a0 What I want to know is who will keep the white supremacists in check if Cory drops out of the race.\u00a0 I mean sure, Creepy Uncle Joe and Kamala Harris are woke to the threat of rampaging gun-wielding white fascists but Spartacus was the one who made it his signature issue.\u00a0 And without a doubt Beto has laid claim to the gun grabbing title with his hats, coffee mugs and other branded paraphernalia but Spartacus was so much more real.\u00a0 Yes, Cory Booker will be missed by those supremacists.<\/p>\n<p>Today I read that Fauxcahantas has taken a two-point lead over Creepy Joe in Iowa.\u00a0 Losing Uncle Joe so early in the process would be a blow.\u00a0 The whole problem of his son and the Ukraine could spell the end of my prediction for Joe to be the November victim for President Trump.\u00a0 So sad, so sad.\u00a0 Well if it\u2019s to be Fauxcahantas (and I\u2019m not admitting to it yet) then let it be Fauxcahantas and Kamala Harris.\u00a0 That is a dream ticket for President Trump.\u00a0 Between the shrieks of Fauxcahantas and the whining and crying of Harris there wouldn\u2019t be a man in America with a testosterone level above zero who would vote for that nightmare.\u00a0 Now the flip side of that is every cat lady and power skirt in the country will try to vote twice for them.\u00a0 But somehow, I don\u2019t see them getting much of the female black vote.<\/p>\n<p>Bernie is now only ahead of Warren in New Hampshire where he is shown trailing Joe by about a point.\u00a0 But nationally the Fake Indian is leading him by a couple of points.\u00a0 Bernie won\u2019t drop out soon.\u00a0 He\u2019s got a lot of money and a loyal core of Bernie Bros who won\u2019t desert him.<\/p>\n<p>Pete Butt also has a good pile of cash to keep him going and the desire to be Vice President and I see him hanging in there for a good long time.\u00a0 But as to who would select him for Veep, maybe Harris?\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing nobody really wants him aboard.<\/p>\n<p>So, of the candidates who still might be around in a few weeks, that leaves Beto.\u00a0 I think Harris would like to have him for a Veep.\u00a0 He\u2019s so incredibly shallow and stupid that by comparison even she would look sort of intelligent.\u00a0 And he\u2019s got a skateboard you know.\u00a0 He\u2019ll definitely get the poser and hipster vote motivated.<\/p>\n<p>All the rest of the losers hovering around at 3% or lower will be gone by Halloween.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty clear that the Media wants Creepy Uncle Joe to drop out.\u00a0 They\u2019re afraid that he\u2019s too senile and has too many skeletons in his closet to beat the President.\u00a0 And they\u2019re right but honestly, it\u2019s not as if Bernie or Fake Indian aren\u2019t just as looney.\u00a0 It\u2019s that old white guy just seems impossible for their narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Emotionally I\u2019m tied to the idea of Creepy Uncle Joe going into the debates.\u00a0 The spastic hilarity just draws me in.\u00a0 But Fake Indian is great too.\u00a0 Fauxcahantas has more than one arrow in her quiver if I may be permitted to use the metaphor.\u00a0 She shrieks and her eyes bulge behind her Granny Clampett glasses and she gestures and gesticulates like some demented third grade teacher.\u00a0 There is greatness there.<\/p>\n<p>But never let it be said that I\u2019m a fair-weather friend.\u00a0 I\u2019m sticking with Crazy Uncle Joe to the bitter end.\u00a0 The only condition I put on his candidacy is if he strokes out.\u00a0 If he does, I\u2019ll pull support.\u00a0 I can\u2019t be responsible for the death of anyone, even Creepy Uncle Joe.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s recap.\u00a0 With the Media and nervous big money pushing to anoint Fauxcahantas, Creepy Uncle Joe is hoping to weather the Ukraine thing while Bernie plods along waving the Hammer and Sickle flag of Communism for the Bernie Bros to see.\u00a0 The only losers who\u2019ll hang in for the Veep sweepstakes look like Harris, Beto, Mayor Pete Butt and maybe Spartacus.\u00a0 I\u2019m holding out for Uncle Joe but the vultures are beginning to circle.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more excitement in October.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
