What’s The Dems’ Plan B If Lawfare Doesn’t Stop Trump? We Have Some Ideas
Issues & Insights ^ | 24 May, 2024 | I & I Editorial Board

Posted on 05/24/2024 6:28:28 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Next Tuesday both sides will present their closing arguments in the People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, a case that exists for one reason only: to stop Trump from ever occupying the White House again.

But what if this doesn’t work? What if there’s a hung jury or, worse yet, an acquittal? What if none of the 88 trumped-up felony charges results in a conviction and voters actually have a chance to elect Trump, should they prefer him over the decrepit failure known as Joe Biden?

What is the Democrats’ Plan B?

They must have one. Democrats are nothing if not always prepared. And they’ve already made it clear that they will do anything to stop Trump. Anything. That is, except run on the issues.

It looks increasingly likely that they will need a plan. Democrats bent and twisted the law into impossible shapes to rack up those felony charges against a political opponent. Now the seams are showing.

After Michael Cohen’s disastrous turn on the stand in the “hush money” trial undermined the bedrock of this case, even CNN is hedging its bets in the outcome.

The case has already failed to live up to its billing as political kryptonite. A Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that a mere 16% say they’re following the trial closely. Cable news ratings are down. New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg whined about how, “when people were asked how the trial made them feel, the most common response was ‘bored’.”

Of course, none of that will matter to the jury, which could very well render a guilty verdict. But even Goldberg admits that this won’t necessarily stop Trump, given that he’s unlikely to be sent to prison before his appeals are heard.

The other cases are faring just as poorly. Fani Willis, the lying district attorney prosecuting the Georgia election interference case, could get booted now that an appeals court has agreed to hear Trump’s challenge to have her removed. Either way, it means further delays which will likely prevent the case from going to trial before the election.

The federal case involving classified documents at Mar-a-Lago – which Biden’s Justice Department wanted to fast-track before the election – is also falling apart after delays, revelations that prosecutors mishandled the documents, challenges to the legality of Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel, and the fact that the wheels of justice grind slowly.

The $354 million in penalties in a civil trial for a victimless crime that wasn’t a crime was supposed to wipe out Trump, but didn’t.

And, of course, the Supreme Court seemed to indicate in its questions during oral arguments about Trump’s immunity claim that it could side at least partially with the former president.

You can tell when each one of these anti-Trump bombshells turns out to be a dud from the hair-on-fire reaction from the left. After Judge Aileen Cannon announced a delay in the documents trial to weigh all the complexities involved, which will likely postpone it until after the election, Democrats accused her of “deliberately slow-walking the case.” After the Supreme Court appeared skeptical of the government’s arguments in the immunity case, a New York Times columnist said the justices “directly intervened in the 2024 presidential election.”

It seems there is no institution that Democrats won’t tear down in their zeal to “protect democracy.”

So, what is their Plan B? Here are some options we would guess that Democrats are currently considering.

Dump Biden. Democrats know if Trump survives all these legal attacks, he will likely crush Biden. Even in the midst of all this legal wrangling, Trump’s numbers have only solidified while Biden’s continue to sag. We’ve long suspected that swapping Biden out at the last minute has been the Democrats’ plan for some time, especially since mainstream reporters started parroting Democratic talking points about how Biden was 100% guaranteed to be the nominee.

Now the talk of replacing Biden has developed a sense of urgency we haven’t seen before. There is even open speculation that the reason the White House suddenly agreed to debate Trump and do so in June – before either candidate is officially nominated at their conventions – is to give Democrats time to replace Biden if he falls on his face.

Reassemble the election rigging team. After the 2020 elections, Time magazine ran a glowing feature about how a cabal of leftist groups, businessmen, Big Tech, and others “scrambled to shore up America’s institutions as they came under simultaneous attack from a remorseless pandemic and an autocratically inclined president. … Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding.”

Time was careful to claim that none of this was designed to defeat Trump, but to retain the integrity of the election. Seriously? Who are they kidding?

In any case, evidence is currently emerging that the Biden administration has been using taxpayer money on a government-wide effort to selectively register voters most likely to vote for the Democrat – i.e., rig the election.

Cheat. The reason so many Americans believe that Biden stole the 2020 election is because of the many glaring irregularities that occurred that November, all of which just happened to occur in areas Democrats controlled in swing states that Biden captured by the narrowest of margins. Even if election fraud is widespread and obvious, the same institutions that rallied to “save” the 2020 election will deny it all and accuse anyone who claims otherwise of being an insurrectionist.

Call off the election. Don’t be surprised if things really look bad for Democrats that they start talking about why a free and democratic election must be postponed or canceled because Trump is such a danger to democracy.

The A-word. Democrats have been wishing Trump would die – Biden’s former press secretary, Jenn Psaki, recently dreamed that: “Maybe Donald Trump will go away. Maybe he’ll go to jail. Maybe he will die. Not to be too morbid. But maybe. He’s not a young man.” Could some deranged Democrat actually act on this death wish?

This is all just wild speculation of course. But the one thing you can count on Democrats not doing between now and Nov. 5 is to engage Trump in a debate over policy, Biden’s dismal record as president, or anything substantive.

I think it is a roll of the dice what the ‘RATs will do next. Probably a mix of the possibilities mentioned above.

A Covid II Kung Flu Dempanic is probably in the works. The communist pigs have taken over the free world. They won’t be giving it up easy.

“They’ll try to kill him”

I believe they already tried.

I’ll always believe he was deliberately infected with covid during the 2016 election campaign.

War or economic melt-down, complete with martial law.

In their minds, it's that or the prison sentences they deserve. That's why they are so desperate to get rid of Trump.

They think global government will save the day. The Chinese don't want to play. That means war anyway.

I just hope Trump’s security detail is ready for anything and everything.

I hope Trump’s security detail is loyal to Trump and not the Deep State or Biden.

Seems there’s some evidence Trump’s Secret Service detail were working with the FBI raiders.

The last one is the “break glass in case of an emergency” option.

Stop worrying about that.

Start worrying about what the REPUBLICANS Plan B is, because it is the Republicans who have been all in on preventing and then ruining a Trump presidency since 2015, and nothing about that has changed.

The traitorous political party and their DeepStaters, who has supported, legislated for, and participated in the slaughter of over 60 million children of the womb have no compunctions about committing one more murder.

Or, in the words of our fearless leader, an "erectionist"

Exactly right. The true threat to Trump in November is GOP, Inc.

As likely as not, all of this "what will the Dems do?!?" nonsense is intentional, misdirecting propaganda.

Plan B?

Let's review:

Plan A - Steel Dossier
Plan B - Mueller Investigation
Plan C - Flynn Take out
Plan D = Impeachment I
Plan E - Jan 6 sham "insurrection"
Plan F - Impeachment II
Plan G - Sham Jan 6 investigation
Plan H - Mar A Lago Raid
Plan I - Stormy Daniels Trial
Plan J - Short Fat Fanny Trial
Plan K - Mad Jack's Trial in DC
Plan L - Mad Jack's document Trial
Plan M - Fat Alvin's NYC Trial

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.
