With all the talk about Bloomberg coming in and being handed the nomination I thought about which scenario was better for us.\u00a0 Honestly I can’t rightly say.\u00a0 Bloomberg is maybe a little less crazy but he has plenty of faults that will make him a big target in November.<\/p>\n
But putting aside questions of tactics I keep coming back to how much fun it would be if Bernie were the nominee.\u00a0 Imagine a debate between President Trump and him.\u00a0 If asked about healthcare he would tout his Medicaid for All.\u00a0 When he was forced to admit it, he would confirm that it would eliminate all the private insurance in the country and throw us into an awful government system like the Canadians and British.\u00a0 These are systems where you might have to wait years for an expensive test or treatment.\u00a0 In fact some cancer patients have died waiting for such tests.\u00a0 Can you imagine what President Trump would do with an opportunity to reply to a Bernie answer on health insurance?\u00a0 It would be devastating.<\/p>\n
And how about the rest of Bernie’s agenda?\u00a0 He believes in eliminating border controls.\u00a0 He wants free college for all.\u00a0 He wants to provide free medical and education benefits to all illegals.\u00a0 He’s on board with the pipe dream plan in the “green new deal.”\u00a0 The shock and horror of moderates and independents when Bernie admits that he’s going to ramp their taxes exponentially to pay for all these absurdities will lose him every sane voter in middle America.\u00a0 In such a situation we can probably win Colorado, and Nevada on top of all the states Trump won in 2016 along with the likely addition of Minnesota.<\/p>\n
And the best part of the whole thing will be all those progressives wailing and gnashing their teeth on Election Day night.\u00a0 Miley Cyrus whining and crying, again<\/strong>, about how it was Bernie’s turn.\u00a0 Rachel Maddow telling us, again<\/strong>, that this is no nightmare, this is our lives.\u00a0 Without a doubt the “ragin’ Cajun,” James Carville’s head will explode out of frustration that his warnings about Bernie were ignored.\u00a0 The Young Turks will be swearing continuously again<\/strong>.\u00a0 Every single word will be bleeped out.\u00a0 I wonder if Russia will be blamed again<\/strong>.\u00a0 Of course, it would be better to blame the Soviet Union than Russia.\u00a0 that will be the actual cause of the loss.\u00a0 Because when you come right down to it, less than half of Americans are crazy enough to prefer socialism to capitalism.\u00a0 Not that capitalism has been doing a bang up job lately but even the semi-delusional will look into Bernie Sander’s apoplectic face and recognize a lunatic when they see one.<\/p>\n Of course 2020 will be much better than 2016.\u00a0 we wont have to wait for months for President Trump to be sworn in and then assemble a cabinet.\u00a0 He’ll already be there.\u00a0 And with no more campaigning in his future he’ll be unconstrained.\u00a0 His Justice Department can use his next four years to frog-march the likes of Comey, McCabe, Brennan and Clapper right into the big house.\u00a0 My won’t that be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With all the talk about Bloomberg coming in and being handed the nomination I thought about which scenario was better for us.\u00a0 Honestly I can’t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[1799,2230,16],"class_list":["post-9999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-trump","tag-2020-election","tag-bernie-sanders","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"\n
