Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Beto Mania Update: A guy calling himself “Michael Falotico” (it may be his real name, but you just never know on social media these days) on Twitter responded to my “Day of Beto” yesterday by saying “Yes, I agree with you that Beto will be the Democrats’ nominee for President in 2020. I may differ with you, however, in that I think he could win the whole thing, i.e., get elected President.”
Well, we don’t differ at all, Michael. Sitting here almost two years prior to Election Day 2020, I also think Beto will be the Dem nominee and “could” well win the general election to become the 46th president of the United States. Admittedly, the odds are against all of that happening for our favorite fake Hispanic Texan, but hey, stranger things have happened – just happened in 2016, in fact, and in 2008 before that.
2008 is especially relevant where Irish Bob is concerned. As I told an audience a few weeks ago, there is no doubt that many national Democrat honchos and money handlers see Irish Bob as their next Barack Obama: A young, handsome, slick talker who does well on TV and can get the ignorant masses riled up, a human blank slate who looks good in a suit onto which all of their party’s various agitated factions can project their fondest dreams. Other than his skin color and the fact that there is no doubt he was born in the United States of America, Irish Bob is in fact a virtual Obama clone.
Yes, O’Rourke is a completely unqualified socialist crackpot. But Irish Bob is a real threat here, precisely because the Democrats already proved in 2008 that the American public can be brainwashed into accepting a completely unqualified socialist crackpot to lead the country down the road to ruin.
So yeah, he “could” win it all, and despite my fondness for making fun of him (it’s low-hanging fruit, I know, but I have no shame in that regard) I do take the prospect of him very seriously. President Trump and all other Republicans should do the same.
Speaking of President Donald J. Trump… – Make no mistake about it, despite the all-fake-all-the-time reporting all over the news media about his live-televised dust up with San Fran Nan and Chuck Schumer in the Oval Office, the President pummeled his Democrat opponents. All you have to do is look at the body language from the two Democrats as the thing went on to know that.
Schumer was so intimidated that he couldn’t look the President in the eye the entire time. Pelosi was so flustered she had a hard time remembering which branch of government she represented.
Meanwhile, the President got exactly what he wanted:
- Both Pelosi and Schumer begging him to shoo the leering press out of the room;
- Both Pelosi and Schumer railing against doing anything effective to improve border security; and
- Trump promising to shut down 14% of the federal government if he doesn’t get significant funding for the border wall in a government funding bill that must be passed by December 21.
That third point had #NeverTrump dimwits like A.B. Stoddard and Bill Kristol cackling that Trump had somehow “lost” in this debate, which simply proves that she and her fellow dimwits still have learned absolutely nothing about the current President. Their thesis is that now Trump will get blamed for any government shutdown and oh, my, isn’t that terrible for him.
Well, hell, Trump couldn’t care less about that. The media blames him for everything that happens in any event – what else would be new in that scenario? If you’re the President, might as well embrace that deal and own it.
The spectacle of Pelosi and Schumer begging the President to take the discussion behind closed doors just proves yet again that the Democrats care nothing about government transparency. Trump revels in this stuff, and is thrilled to be the one guy sitting in that room advocating for the need for increased border security, which is a winning issue for the Republicans, not the Democrats.
Stuff like what happened in the Oval Office yesterday is exactly why Trump won in the first place. He wasn’t put in that job to have nice, polite discourse with swamp-dwelling snakes like Pelosi and Schumer behind closed doors. He was put in that job to break all the china, stain all the carpets and color all the walls with crayons in the D.C. Establishment’s comfortable abode.
Yesterday was a very good day for Donald Trump. Don’t let the fake news media kid you otherwise.
My only question is, why was that Mike Pence mannequin sitting in that other chair?
In 17 minutes, did not manage to utter a word. What good is he?

Ok, so nothing’s changed, then:

Media Conventional Wisdom On Russia Probe Is Uninformed And Idiotic Axios promised highly damning and highly detailed evidence in the Mueller probe. What it delivered instead was warmed-over D.C. conventional wisdom.

In all seriousness, that’s a great piece by Mollie Hemingway. Go spend 8 minutes reading it this morning – you’ll be better informed and glad you spent the time.
Ocasio Cortez Watch:
David Blackmon @GDBlackmon Paul Ryan knew the 3 branches of government when he was 28. Paul Ryan knew how to find an apartment when he was 28. Paul Ryan knew how electricity was generated when he was 28. Paul Ryan knew socialism is an evil thing when he was 28. Do I need to go on?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @Ocasio2018 Double standards are Paul Ryan being elected at 28 and immediately being given the benefit of his ill-considered policies considered genius; and me winning a primary at 28 to immediately be treated with suspicion & scrutinized, down to my clothing, of being a fraud. https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1072099404822261760 …

Look at how 0bama persecuted actual reporters. The BSM didn’t care. We having vivid proof Trump realizes he doesn’t need to do anything to them. All he needs do is give them plenty of running room and lots of rope and they hang themselves. Fun to watch but with the GOPelite working against him as much as the Rats IMHO Trump is just delaying the inevitable. We can’t vote our way back into or own country.

Agreed. Trump was awesome in the oval office yesterday, during it out with Pelosi & Schumer. Schumer looked as if he were melting.
What is wrong with Congress anyway? It is not like building a wall is a frivolous desire of a majority of the people in the US. The people know that the wall will save lives.
Love Trump!
What obama did to Dinesh D’Souza was dispicable. If there is anything the POTUS could do for him he should.
Why am I not yet tired of Trump winning? Yesterday’s display of guidance was like speaking to a new class of apprentices, just before they were to go and make their “best” performance.
Most satisfying of all performances from these two, though, would have resulted in a “You’re fired!” at the end of the show. Trump quickly learned to milk the contestants, letting their anguish and embarrassment in the moment of decision play out in extended scenes that viewers found impossible to stop watching. And that was the whole key to his long-running success on the show.
Life’s lessons well learned.
You mean beyond giving him the pardon that he already did?
My only question is, why was that Mike Pence mannequin sitting in that other chair?
Did Trump need any help? When you are number 2 you do not jump in on the bosses gig.
If young Beto wins, it’s another example of Life Imitating Art . . .

I heard this all night. Pence is the vice president. He did exactly as he was supposed to. If input from him was needed, Trump would have called on him. It would have been improper for him to interject unless it was dire.
I was only able to see replays of the meeting. Was the press already set up and they walked in or were they seated and then the press arrived? I was soooo impressed that PDJT had the press there making Nan and Chuck feel *uncomfortable* and on the spot.
Thank you for posting the entire contents of the article from your blog, and letting US have the option of going to your blog to give it some ‘clicks’. Which I am going to do.
Thanks, I wasn’t aware that he did pardon him. god bless the POTUS for that.
“We can’t vote our way back into our own country”
I agree. We have gone past the ballot box. It will take the bullet box so to speak to get rid of the deep state.
IMO there is a good likelihood that Trump is preparing for military tribunals. What other reason would he be sending 100 guys from the 305th to Gitmo for? I think we only have 9 prisoners there. I believe in January things are going to heat up.I
All this talk about impeachment is BS. It’s Democrat deparation as there are some Congress critters who could fall under the charge of treason.
Don’t know much about Pence. But President Trump was on a roll. He didn’t need Pence’s help at all.
My only question is, why was that Mike Pence mannequin sitting in that other chair?
Watching. Learning.
I predict there will be massive voter fraud and that Beto, the sock puppet will indeed win the election. This year’s midterms were a trail run on 2020.
Mike Pence is President of the Senate, and his quiet presence beside President Trump shouted that fact as Minority Leader Schumer was publicly neutered by President Trump.
