"The only person who can get Biden elected, is Trump."

This is the dumbest post I've seen in a very long time.

>>”The only person who can get Biden elected, is Trump.”

Problem is Trump is not even running against Biden - apparently he is only running against DeSantis - who according to him, he is beating by 800% margin - and yet spends 90% of his waking moments talking and thinking about him.

...he spends the other 10% trying to figure out how he can get into a moderated debate with Meghan Markle.

Biden is a laughable candidate, a no-win dummy in an election Demowrecks can’t afford to lose.
Once more, we'll bear witness to radical Democrats breaking rules, destroying all that's sacred.

To wild-eyed leftists, an election isn’t the issue, only The Revolution.

===========================================

Mmmmm, perhaps we'd better reacquaint the left w/ some time-honored advice.

And I quote: "There's many a slip 'twixt cup and the lip."

An old English proverb that cautions: even when a desired outcome or conclusion seems certain,
things can still go go wrong, kinda like "don't count your chickens before they hatch, baby".

“The only person who can get Biden elected, is Trump”.

That’s an ignorant thing to say. Ignorant and stupid.

My crystal ball is ridiculously fuzzy at this point.

I have absolutely no idea who will be the Democratic nominee.

There are no logical criteria to evaluate, no rules to understand.

The elites will do what they will and make up a narrative to justify it—whatever they do.

Unwinnable candidate?

Recall that Obama was weak, inflation was high, economy was a mess and the Pubbie was expected to make Obama a one-termer.

Romney floundered and several precincts gave O 120-130% of the votes — enough for him to get a second, devastating term at fundamentally changing America.

Dems have learned a lot of new ways to ‘enhance’ the votes for them since 2012.

Yup—once Democrats mastered mass cheating in precincts they control it made a mockery of any demographic analysis of voting patterns.

Anyone engaging in such analysis is just enabling the cheaters.

“An unwinnable candidate in an election they can’t afford to lose will once again radicalize the Democrats and force them to break rules they hadn’t even previously thought of breaking.”

In some ways, the whole piece makes sense to me. But, I can’t get over the feeling that the Socialist Democrats STILL want power at ANY price.

Luckily, they have 99% of the republicans rooting for them whichever way they go. :(

*SPIT*

If Trump despite all the phony legal ploys appears to be the nominee and likely winner in 2024, I would not rule out an assassination. Trumps assassination would immediately be blamed on Ultra MAGA extremists and br8ngthe imposition of emergency powers. Look to the 1933 Reichstag fire that secured Hitlers dictatorship as an example.

FR thread

Joe Biden’s chances of re-election are being jeopardized by voters’ concerns
over his age, the economy and crime, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination, w/ one in five voters undecided WRT 2024. Republicans had an edge among those worried about crime.

Trump remains politically viable despite a battery of orchestrated vengeful federal and state criminal charges revolving around his rightful attempts to expose Biden’s steal of 2020 and Biden’s manufactured falsified charges of Trump supposedly mishandling of classified documents since leaving office.

It matters who is the nominee for the Democrats only in that they do NOT want a man who has his own ideas or who will think he is in even a modicum of control once elected. Biden or Kamala are perfect. The election is not a probable. The last somewhat honest election was probably 2012 and the last highly likely honest election was 2004. The last honest result was 2016 because the Democrats were so lost in their own fantasy they could not conceive of a rube like Donald Trump getting more than a third of the vote in the battleground states. Eyebrows were raised when Mrs. Bill concentrated her efforts on the States wherein she was a shoe-in but she just needed to gin up as many votes as she could regardless of the Electoral College effect because the Democrats were totally confident DJT could not win the toss-up states with the Democrat vote factories in the big cities.. Look for a Democrat blow-out up and down the ballot in 24. They will not make the 2016 mistake again.

Biden is the presumptive nominee not because he is a sure thing, but because he can’t win. That would make no sense to.a traditional Democrat’s way of thinking, but the party is no longer run by the old school, but by a new school of radicals. Its goal is not to win elections, but to radicalize the party and the country. A hopelessly weak candidate facing an unwinnable election against Trump or DeSantis serves that purpose far better than a Newsom victory.

I think they're running Biden because they plan on cheating again... this time for an even larger slap in the face. NO ONE wants Biden but he'll win in a landslide and they'll challenge anyone who objects to the 'win' with a quick court date and a long time in prison.

So far the democrats are down to Newsom Hillary or Big Mike all the same who ever they select.

They are to close to the Marxist win to give up now it’s been a 100 years in the workings.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces formal impeachment inquiry against President Biden
Fox News ^ | 9/12/2023 | Chris Pandolfo
Posted on 9/12/2023, 8:34:53 AM by fruser1

“Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings. Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son’s business partners,” McCarthy said.

Earlier, Fox News Digital confirmed that McCarthy will tell House Republicans today that beginning an impeachment inquiry against Biden is the “logical next step” for their investigations. An inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process, where evidence is gathered for the articles, or charges, of impeachment against an official.

In a statement responding to reports about the impending inquiry, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations Ian Sams blasted the effort as politically motivated. He accused McCarthy of advancing an impeachment probe to placate hardliners in the GOP conference.

“McCarthy is being told by [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.] to do impeachment, or else she’ll shut down the government,” Sams said. “Opening impeachment despite zero evidence of wrongdoing by POTUS is simply red meat for the extreme right wing, so they can keep baselessly attacking him.”

Biden will be the Trojan horse to usher in the new leader.
Biden will step down after the election.
