Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Bernie Sanders’ presidential hopes are over, although he may not realize it yet. – The Commie had to undergo surgery to implant multiple stents into his 78 year-old heart, and has cancelled a bunch of planned campaign events over the next couple of weeks so he can recover. Although this can be a fairly minor procedure for a younger person – I had one placed into my left ventricular artery at age 55 and was back to full speed within a few weeks – it can be far more difficult for a person of Sanders’ advanced age.
But the speed of his recovery doesn’t even matter here: Sanders was already finding it impossible to move his polling numbers much above 15% due in part to the impression among many Democrats that he is just too old for the job he seeks. Suffering a heart attack in the midst of the campaign – and yes, if he was having chest pains, any doctor will tell you that he did indeed suffer a heart attack – will only serve to build that perception among many more voters, who will now begin to cast their eyes in the direction of the other, younger unquestioned Marxist in the race, Fauxcahontas.
The near-certain outcome will be that we will see Sanders’ polling numbers drop into single digits over the next few weeks, and a commensurate rise in support for Little Mouth Always Running.
Speaking of the Fake Indian running, check out the greeting she received from Nevada voters when her plane landed out there on Wednesday:
Ryan Saavedra ✔ @RealSaavedra Nevada voters fume at Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren as she arrives in the state over her support for impeachment
Embedded video 9,354 6:47 PM - Oct 2, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 4,581 people are talking about this Not exactly the reception that Princess I’m Gonna Take Your Wampum expected. But that’s the price we can expect more and more Democrats to pay for their support for San Fran Nan’s sham impeachment circus as Trump supporters become increasingly engaged in public activism and protest.
Meanwhile, the campaign of Quid Pro Joe Biden, the nation’s Unfrozen Caveman Senator, is now hanging by a thread. While Biden’s foundering campaign did not quite meet my prediction that his lead would have disappeared by October 1, he sure came close.
In fact, Lieawatha actually now holds the lead in 4 of the 7 most recent polls taken in the race, according to Real Clear Politics, and she and Biden are in a statistical tie in a fifth poll taken by Emerson. In fact, only one of those polls was even partially conducted in October, and that one – by The Economist/YouGov – shows the Fake Indian holding a 6 point lead. The two clear outlier polls, both showing Biden with 11 point leads, were taken entirely in September.
Given that reality, I think I’ll declare half a victory on this particular prediction, made back in April when Crazy Uncle Joe kicked off his campaign with a near-30 point lead. There is now little doubt that his lead will disappear entirely when the first polls conducted entirely in October are published over the next two weeks.
For the rest of the field, just a few trends to note:
Kamala Harris is on life support. She announced early this week that she is shaking up her staff, but that won’t help. The candidate is the problem with her campaign. She is just a horrible candidate, and shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic won’t change that.
Preacher Pete is your basic 6% candidate now, and his trendline has been essentially static since June. His consistent ZERO support from African American voters means he has no real chance in the race for the nomination, and that won’t change. The only reason for him to hang around is in the hopes of becoming arm candy for Fauxcahontas in the general election.
Andrew Yang had a $10 million fundraising haul in the third quarter, which places him in the top 4 in this pitiful field. He had one exciting moment when he came in at 8% in the Emerson poll last week, but that’s a clear statistical anomaly given that he is at 2 or 3 in every other poll. Another potential vice presidential nominee, but no chance to win the big prize.
Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Irish Bob O’Rourke and Amy Klobuchar are all dead as door nails, but they will linger through the next debate in mid-October in the vain hopes of having some breakthrough moment on that crowded stage.
The only other declared candidate worth mentioning is Tulsi Gabbard, who had a chance to be the only actual interesting person on stage when she initially came out in opposition to Pelosi’s Impeachment Circus. But she lost that not even 48 hours later when she reversed her posture. Thus, she’ll be just another hack with no chance of truly distinguishing herself in that next debate.
Then there’s the Pantsuit Princess, the thus-far-undeclared candidate in this race. The Fainting Felon has raised eyebrows by putting herself back in the public spotlight with a series of speaking events this week, raising the spectre that she might decide to become a late entrant into the campaign season as Biden falters.
From a pure self-defense standpoint, that appeared to make some sense late last week, as the corrupt news media assisted Biden by claiming the President’s rhetoric about Biden’s clear pay-for-play selling of his vice presidential office related to Ukraine, China and other countries amounted to a Trump attack on a political rival rather than an effort to identify clear corruption. But that particular line of BS has very quickly lost its utility as this week has progressed and the damning video of Biden bragging about engaging in his clear bullying of the Ukraine government on behalf of his ne’er-do-well son gained traction with the public.
Would the Grasping Grifter attempt a similar tactic, declaring herself to be a candidate to try to give herself political cover against the increasingly aggressive investigation led by Attorney General William Barr? She might, but she would fail even more miserably than Biden is failing with that line of BS.
Only time will tell. I still think her plan is to wait it out and hope to become the party’s savior at a hung convention.
Given all of that, here are my updated odds on who the eventual Democrat nominee will be:
Fauxcahontas – 3 to 1
Someone not currently declared – 3 to 2
Quid Pro Joe – 20 to 1
The Commie – 50 to 1
Preacher Pete – 100 to 1
Kamala – 100 to 1
Andrew Yang – 100 to 1
The rest of the declared field – DEAD
That is all.
Biggest landslide in history coming right up.
Ok as an ER doc I have to point out a mistake here. He MAY have had a heart attack. But he may not have. Have to see his EKG Cardiac enzymes and the carb to know if he did or not. Regardless scenting is no joke in someone his age.
Hillary. By 4 lengths. Bet on it.
The other Rats are salivating over Bolshevik Bernie’s $25 Million Dollar War Chest.
They will do anything and everything to get to the money including promising to carry on Bolshevik Bernie’s dream of a Democrat Socialist Utopia.
You have to humor your rich crazy Uncle to get your well deserved Inheritance.
I heard that line, “Hillary doesn’t want the first line of her Obituary to read, “Beaten Twice by Donald Trump...”. Still, I don’t think she will be able to resist as the Convention approaches and there are still 5 or 6 candidates. She won’t be able to control herself.
Damn auto correct his CATH.
Would they have gone to the catch lab if the enzymes weren’t positive?
I don’t think the radicals will go for Hillary, no matter what. She is a disease that they want rid of.
Ok, answer this: How many times have you seen a septuagenarian come into your ER suffering from chest pains and requiring multiple stent insertions whose enzymes were not elevated?
My cardiologist tells me it has never happened in his long years of experience.
...and “stenting”. You really have to keep an eye on Autokkkorect every second. It tried to get me here with “stunting”.
Sure. Positive enzymes mean heart damage. But depending on the setting, ekg changes risk factors story and echocardiogram the cardiologist might want to do the cath to see the actual anatomy.
I agree with these odds. The obvious question, who could be a 3-2 odd surprise, the actual elephant in the tent dress is HILLARY. I suppose an actual reporter would be asking Warren how she feels about Hillary entering the race.
Oh I thought he said CHAMPAIGN update. Time to open another bottle.
Warren is unwanted
Isn’t enzymes a better indicator of MI than EKG in the first few days? IIRC it may take some time for the EKG to change.
A close friend had his done at 76 and he is in better shape.
It took him 3 months to come back to full speed.
I’ve seen people with full blown massive MI on their EKG, classic “tombstone”ST elevation with negative enzymes . It takes time for the troponin to start to elevate. But the EKG can respond immediately.
Trump will have to overcome Voter fraud on a huge scale...he fooled them last time..they were not ready because Hillary was going to win in a landslide
He needs to win states by more than 100,00 votes to win
You can bet the fake ballots are already being manufactured
