Todays 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 doesnt 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 Im Gonna Take Your Wampum expected. But thats the price we can expect more and more Democrats to pay for their support for San Fran Nans sham impeachment circus as Trump supporters become increasingly engaged in public activism and protest.
Meanwhile, the campaign of Quid Pro Joe Biden, the nations Unfrozen Caveman Senator, is now hanging by a thread. While Bidens 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 Ill 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 wont help. The candidate is the problem with her campaign. She is just a horrible candidate, and shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic wont 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 wont 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 thats 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 ORourke 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 Pelosis Impeachment Circus. But she lost that not even 48 hours later when she reversed her posture. Thus, shell be just another hack with no chance of truly distinguishing herself in that next debate.
Then theres 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 Presidents rhetoric about Bidens 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 neer-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 partys 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.
Its complicated ( one reason I have a job). The EKG can show MI before the enzymes rise, a classic ST elevation MI. Other times the enzymes start to rise without EKG changes whats known as an NSTEMI, non ST elevation MI. The key is a high index of suspicion in the right clinical setting..
I’m in far better shape, too, 8 years after I got my stent. But again, I was 23 years younger than The Commie when I had my surgery.
At age 73, my Mom had exactly the same artery clogged, and the attempt to insert a stent into it failed. She died a day later.
Age matters.
Sorry, but that's not true. The pain comes from the heart not getting enough oxygen via the blood supply. A heart attack is when the heart muscle is starved for oxygen to the point that part of the muscle actually dies. A stent can prevent a heart attack.
Regardless scenting stenting is no joke in someone his age.
I had a stent put in (age 80) in January of this year.
No heart attack just the pressure over my left chest like a horse was standing on it. Which disappeared by the time I came home that afternoon post stent. I did not have a heart attack.
I feel better everyday.
2 friends the same age decided against a stent and had heart attacks and then stents.
“Hillary. By 4 lengths. Bet on it.”
As much as I hate to admit it, it does seem like Hillary was in the race all along, but the RNC doesn’t want to put her out front until the convention. After no one eclipses the votes necessary to win the nomination, Hillary will be introduced as the reluctant warrior, and this will be her gutsiest move ever.
The stress of rushing madness coursing through old Berns arterial system is a little hard on his old socialist ticker. He needs a nice long restful vacation in his beloved socialist utopia Venezuela.
Good one.
“Pocahonky” !!!!!!!!
Now THAT is priceless!!!!!! ROTFLAO!!!
Tulsi Gabbard had a great chance to emerge as the moderate alternative to this giant gang of psychos, but somebody behind the scenes has either threatened her or given her terrible advice.
> 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 <
Truer words were never spoken. The Democrats didnt like Bush, or Romney. But they hate Trump (obviously). So they will see voter fraud not as a sleazy crime, but as a great crusade. They will go all out. And thats why I dont see a Trump landslide in 2020.
Yeah. Ideally you get the stent BEFORE the heart damage of an MI.
This shows how much of a disaster the Democrat Party has become. They get 20 people to run, and the voters don’t really seem to like any of them. Looks like Warren will win this war of attrition before the primary season even starts. I’ve never seen a party in this bad of shape.
Yep.
I think the point is a person can have heart attack symptoms, but if there is no tissue damage then they can have a complete recovery after treatment.
Getting a stent put in is serious. But it is fairly non-invasive. He could be up and about in a week. He could be back to 110% of where he WAS in a month.
He is far from out.
Yes!!!!!!
Most anyone his age presenting with those symptoms is going to the catch lab. Period.
The challenge that they have is that if you look at the areas that they can get away with wholesale voter fraud, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, Boston, Seattle, Portland, etc... they are mostly in areas that that they have been cheating for decades already and because of how the electoral college they can mostly only nudge a close race into their column. So they are relying on their media lapdogs, Hollywood, Google, and Facebook but these assets have been used so much that they do not have quite the impact that they once did. What they have left is the alien invader vote, but this too is mostly concentrated in certain areas as well. So the Democrats have got a challenge cheating themselves to victory in the presidential race.
The real problem is all the populous cheater districts represented in the House. President Trump is going to have a challenge getting anything done in his second term if the majority is somehow lost in the Senate and the house maintains its Rat advantage.
“Yeah. Ideally you get the stent BEFORE the heart damage of an MI.”
I was lucky there.
