I’ve been saying this for a long long time.. .the Democrats are setting themselves up for a 1972 election dynamic, with a 1984 economy at the incumbents back... they cannot win, it will not be close... Short of a complete economic collapse or some other black swan event of that magnitude.
Furthermore, the powers that be IMHO are intentionally throwing the 2020 cycle, they are doing everything they can to ensure they get a radical nominee and that that nominee gets crushed... the reason being to rope a dope them and cut them off at the knees so the party can moderate for 2024 when they will be the historical odds on favorite to win.
THis was what the impeachment was all about IMHO.. taking out BIDEN not Trump, ensure a radical nominee and that they get slaughtered... I believe Pelosi’s staged temper tantrum was part and parcel of this strategy as well.
It’s hard for me to believe that the Democrats have a long range strategy. They overplay their hand so much that it defies strategy. And, I think the leftward lurch of the party has got the old guard pretty rattled. They are finding themselves between a rock and a hard place. But it’s a mess they created with identity politics and massive handouts. Just as it was predicted, they have run out of other people’s money.
