Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Man, are the Democrats having a bad week, or what? It’s just Wednesday, and it’s hard to imagine how things could go more poorly for them. Let’s go through some of the highlights, er, lowlights.
Monday began with Jabba The Nadler backing down on his plan to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt, as he announced a “deal” with the AG’s office in which his Witch Hunt Committee would receive a few of the documents they’ve been demanding but have no intention of actually reading. Obviously, this means that the Democrats had gotten some really bad polling numbers on the whole effort to demonize Barr, since everything they do and say is based on focus groups and polls.
Jabba then moved to a disastrous hearing in which old Watergate felon John Dean offered testimony about the Mueller Report, even though he has no original knowledge about any aspect of it. The hearing was a complete fiasco for the Democrats as GOP members like Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, John Ratcliffe and Jim Jordan turned Dean into a human pin cushion. The only thing the hearing demonstrated was the exact reason why Mueller himself refuses to show up and testify.
The fake news media spent all day Tuesday building up the two speeches Creepy Uncle Joe was going to make in Iowa in an effort to convince their viewers that the ex-Vice President was about to absolutely destroy President Donald Trump. But, as is pretty much always the case, Biden’s speeches were both duds delivered to audiences so tiny that none of the TV networks dared even show them. Meanwhile, Trump was also giving a speech in Iowa before yet another gigantic, enthusiastic crowd.
Talk about your bad optics.
So, today all the talking heads quit talking about Biden and started talking about the new Quinnipiac Poll, which supposedly shows that Biden would crush Trump in a “landslide”, according to the poll’s spokesman. But a couple of glaring problems with narrative become immediately obvious:
First, we are still 17 months away from the election, and any polls taken now are utterly meaningless. The poll shows Biden beating Trump by 13 points, and…so what? Hell, ABC/Washington Post released a poll showing Hillary Clinton with that exact same lead on Trump just three weeks before the 2016 election. How did that work out?
Second, that very same Quinnipiac poll shows Biden’s lead over the rest of the Democrat field crashing, with his edge over The Commie falling from 19 points last month to just 11 points today. The man isn’t even going to maintain a lead for the nomination past this September, so why should anyone get excited about some fake poll showing him with a lead over the President?
No one should, and no one outside of the studios of CNN and MSNBC is.
Then, to make matters even worse, you had Kirsten Gillibrand – fresh off her gay bar fiasco iver the weekend – comparing anyone who opposes an unfettered right to kill babies, even after they’ve been born, to racists, homophobes and Nazis. Yeah, that’s not going to play well out here in Flyover Country, Toots. Just ask Abortion Barbie about how it worked out for her when she ran for governor in Texas back in 2014.
Even the Democrat-toady fake media is falling apart. John Nolte reports that last week’s rating show that CNN has lost fully 1/3rd of its prime time audience in the past year, and suffered a 55% drop in the key 25-34 year old advertising demographic. CNN now trails HGTV in the number of prime time viewers. After all, why would anyone watch Fredo Cuomo and Don Lemon blabber on when they can take in another rerun of Flip or Flop for the 5th time?
Speaking of Fredo Cuomo, he interviewed Bill Mahr Monday night, and here’s what Mahr had to say when asked “Do you think he’s [Trump] winning”:
“Yes. And I’m sick of [Trump] winning. He’s right. I got sick of winning – his winning.”
Yikes. Unless things change dramatically, this is a week the Democrats are going to want to take back.
Too bad.
That is all.

Dimocrats NEVER have a bad day or week.
MAGA.
I want to see John Brennan have a horrible day. Like yesterday, but tomorrow will do.
Until some of their evil filthy ilk are actually placed in cuffs and behind bars, they never have a bad week.
It is hard to believe, following the 2016 polling debacle, that the media has still not learned that these early, early polls are meaningless. Review any poll taken from 2015 on … I never remember a single one at any time that gave Trump a chance. He was always down 5 or 10 or 12 or 15 points to Hillary … who was going to exceed 300 electoral college votes.
Yet here they are with the same biased pollsters, and the same flawed polling methods treating a poll as THE epistle from the high mountain top.
Just laughing and remembering all the TV “experts” laughing and MOCKING DJT every time his name was brought up as a viable “nominee of the RNC”... Loved it. Then the fun we had on election night when he actually won.
Relish those memories folks.
The media doesn’t care if the poling is correct. The poles are specifically for the media to wave around like a snake oil salesmen trying to pedal poison.
