I know I said that I\u2019m assuming that President Trump\u2019s re-election is a foregone conclusion and the results of the Democrat primary are of no consequence, but the hilarity of their demolition derby is just too wonderful to ignore.\u00a0 I must opine.<\/p>\n
The outcome of the first two state elections for the Democrat Presidential Primary have been disastrous for Joe Biden.\u00a0 He was fourth in Iowa and fifth in New Hampshire.\u00a0 Now granted those states are practically bereft of minority voters who are Joe\u2019s major constituency but to not even come in the top three is highly troubling to the bag men who are supplying Joe\u2019s campaign with the millions of dollars needed to keep the No Malarkey! Reality Bus Tour plodding along on the highways and byways of this great land.\u00a0 It\u2019s probably a good bet that they are already in contact with the Buttigieg and Klobuchar campaigns figuring out how to siphon off funds from Joe and funnel them to the current flavors of the month.<\/p>\n
There are already voices in the media calling for Joe to suspend his campaign.\u00a0 They fear that if he remains in the race, he\u2019ll prevent the moderate candidate from knocking off Bernie.\u00a0 You see, the less crazy but more corrupt Dems are afraid that the more crazy but less corrupt Bernie Bros will get their candidate nominated.\u00a0 And those less crazies know that Bernie is unelectable.\u00a0 So even though they must be careful to hide their actions and intentions, they will do anything they can to stop Bernie from accruing the number of delegates needed to win the nomination outright.\u00a0 As long as that is prevented, they can always rig the convention to get their preferred candidate nominated.<\/p>\n
But so far, Joe says he\u2019s committed to going forward.\u00a0 His hope is that Nevada and South Carolina will give him the wins he needs to re-establish himself as the front runner.\u00a0 And I really do hope he does stay in.\u00a0 If he manages to siphon off just enough votes to allow Bernie to edge out Butt Pete this contest can go on and on.\u00a0 And once Bloomberg enters the fray things will get even more confused.\u00a0 Bloomberg will pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the race and tempt the establishment with dreams of their own Trump who can rule by fiat and pay for his programs himself.\u00a0 How wonderfully unsettled it all seems to be.<\/p>\n
But which way will it all go?\u00a0 I think Bernie will once again fail to secure an outright delegate win.\u00a0 I think they\u2019ll give the nomination to Petey Boy.\u00a0 And I think they\u2019ll make Klobuchar or Kamala Harris his running mate.\u00a0 How exciting is that?<\/p>\n
Okay, so I made all this up just now.\u00a0 But tomorrow all these sandcastles could be washed away.\u00a0 Suppose Biden gets a crushing win in South Carolina.\u00a0 Suddenly he\u2019s riding high again.\u00a0 Or suppose Klobuchar beats Buttigieg in both Nevada and South Carolina.\u00a0 Now we must flip the order on the ticket with Amy on top.\u00a0 Or suppose Bernie takes Nevada and Joe comes in second.\u00a0 All these possibilities scramble the logic of who will end up as Dem nominee.<\/p>\n
And all of this is driving the Democrat voters and leaders into fits.\u00a0 They\u2019re scared of not knowing who the nominee will be and they\u2019re scared that all the choices are bad.\u00a0 The fear and uncertainty are just great.\u00a0 What a wonderful time to be a conservative.<\/p>\n
So not that it should matter who they pick, because they\u2019re still going to lose.\u00a0 But knowing that they\u2019re in agony just makes it so much better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
