Democrats Start To Perceive Debacle They Face

The full proportions of the debacle that awaits the Democrats next fall is starting to penetrate their complacent disdain and revulsion toward President Trump. Rank-and-file Democrats are so ecstatic at the arrival of a known candidate whose views on principal policy issues cannot be invoked by Republicans to frighten children into eating their breakfast cereal that they have accorded Joe Biden a levitation in the polls.

Mr. Biden is a shopworn, moth-eaten, malapropistic journeyman about whom, when asked to assess him as a potential president, former bipartisan defense secretary and CIA director Robert Gates took four seconds to emit: “I don’t know.” In the land of the Ocasio-Cortez sound-alikes, a track-worn perennial candidate is king.

Given how verbally accident-prone Mr. Biden has been throughout his nearly 50 years of public life, his present formidable lead in the polls against an immense field of candidates should be seen as the fulfilment of Democratic yearning for someone who would not alarm the voters in policy terms. The only other such candidate is the relatively unknown Amy Klobuchar.

All Americans, even the president’s most strenuous supporters, should be comforted that the majority of Democrats can still think and count. It is a party infested with lunatics, but not controlled by them.

China is a debt-ridden house of cards built on what is still a 40% command economy, rotten with official corruption in a country with few natural resources and 300 million people who still live as their ancestors did a thousand years ago.

Barring something completely unforeseeable, this president will have a stronger argument for reelection next year than any president since Richard Nixon in 1972 after his extraordinarily successful first term, if not Franklin D. Roosevelt’s double reelections in 1936 and 1944.

I checked out your profile. I’m officially changing your name to Tokyo Rose or better yet Beijing Rose.

Loved the third grade screed on America.

China is a great Reaganesque conservative nation? Meth must be free over there.

China is communist totalitarian government that has literally murdered millions of its own population. Nobody in China is free. They are one of the most conformist countries in the world.

China and India are the two worst polluters in the world. China had to shut down all industry in and around Beijing for two weeks prior to the Olympics. My brother in law has been there many times as a US courier.

China has flourished for three reasons: slave like labor, theft of American intellectual property and manipulation of their currency. The latter two are going to go away under Trump.

China’s economy is sinking due to an aging population brought about by decades of a one child policy. So much for freedom. Its not going to turn around either.

So when China starts expelling the foreign infidels again why don’t you slither off to Bora Bora because we sure don’t want you back here and I’ll bet I can get a big ten four from your ex on that too.

Biden is seriously flawed. Hopefully he maintains his lift and skates thru because he isn’t up to the task and it will bite him in the rear at some point.

Let us make no mistake about it:

A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!

America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!

This is a very good read, pragmatic point for point. When you look at the vast spectrum of issues this President has tackled and is “winning” you could be looking at a heroic figure in American history.
