For seven years the Democrats have tried to erase Donald Trump from the political landscape. They have done so by caricaturing a lifetime pragmatic liberal and supporter of school choice programs to benefit inner city minority kids as a “white supremacist” and “bigot.” To derail his 2015 presidential run they enlisted the corrupt U.S. intelligence agencies to violate the FISA laws, spy on his campaign, harass its operatives, and finally concoct a phony dossier to portray him as a traitor, colluding with the Russians. They formed a “Resistance” to his presidency and never really accepted the result of his 2016 election
Over the next 7 years the Democrats’ campaign to decapitate their political opposition escalated to include two partisan impeachments – fully half the total impeachments in the nation’s history, and the only two that did not reflect a broad bipartisan consensus but were blatantly political in nature. When these abuses of the democratic process failed, they pursued legislative means to make Trump an “un-person” and eradicate him from public life.
Just before the Republican-controlled Senate voted not to impeach private citizen Trump in February 2021, Chuck Schumer publicly vowed that if the Senate did convict him, as Senate Majority Leader he would hold a vote to block Trump from ever holding public office again. The legal basis offered for such a ban was a questionable interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed to prevent leaders of the Confederacy who had engaged in an armed rebellion from holding office in the government against which they had declared war.
The Democrats had no filters for their Trump hatred. They even attacked the deeply patriotic themes of his presidency: the exhortations to put “America First,” and “Make America Great Again.”
Thirteen House Democrats sponsored a bill that would have barred the federal government from naming any buildings or monuments after the former president and would also have prevented him from being buried at Arlington National Cemetery.42 Representative Linda Sánchez (D-California) went a step further and introduced a “No Glory for Hate Act” that would bar Trump from receiving his federal pension, office space, and paid staff, as other former presidents have. Sánchez said Trump’s name should not even be permitted to appear on a park bench.43
As the Biden administration moved into its third year, Trump – now a presidential candidate again and leading all Republican primary contenders by 30 points was targeted by a hailstorm of bogus lawsuits, while Biden and the Democrats ran major campaigns to turn the phrase “MAGA Republicans” into a stigma. A New York District Attorney even pursued Trump at a cost to taxpayers of $250 Million for having Stormy Daniels sign a “non-disclosure” agreement.
In June, the Biden Department of Justice, indicted Trump on 37 felony charges for essentially one allegedly criminal act. The artificial multiplication of felonies meant that Trump was facing a maximum of 500 years in prison. In other words, a death penalty.
At the same time the Biden government was committing these offenses against American traditions, against a man who guided one of the most successful administrations in American history, against the respect Americans reserve for their political opponents and especially their presidents, it was marshalling the powers of the government to obstruct the investigations of a Biden family influence peddling operation that received millions of dollars from adversarial governments – which would normally be regarded as treasonous bribes – to shape American policies to their advantage. Whether this included a favor to our arch enemy China to deliver Afghanistan into its sphere of influence or fly spy balloons over our most sensitive defenses, we don’t know because the Department of Justice is in the pocket of the Bidens and refuses to look.
The assault on Trump is an assault on the security of all Americans, and the gravest threat to our constitutional order. Only the defeat of a rogue Democrat Party in the next election can forestall the ongoing destruction of our country that the Democrats seem determined to pursue. The greatest assets to American patriots in this war are the Democrats’ arrogant myopia and a leader who cannot be intimidated into abandoning his principles or his love for his country.
If the presidential election were held today, Trump would win because he has been tested by fire and earned the loyalty of American patriots of all colors and creeds. The Democrats’ attacks have long ago lost their potency because the selfishness of their goals and their contempt for their fellow citizens has become more and more obvious over time. If Trump is in prison when the election is held as the Democrats intend him to be, he will still win for the same reasons.
Nope.
I can’t agree. It the rats actually pull this off and Trump is in jail he cannot be elected because he won’t be on many of the state ballots. I just don’t see it
I tend to agree but doubt any of the various accusations will result in a trial concluded before the election.
Trump wins! The Deep state will see to it that, again, he will not be seated as 47. But, he still wins. Also, the Democrats are winners. They win. It doesn’t matter how they win, they just do. Republicants are loser. They lose. They are in DC to help the Dems win. They do that were well.
When David Horowitz says anything at all, it carries weight with me. I think he frames the abomination of this current banana republic perfectly.
And he knows of what he speaks.
Nope, indeed. If the 2024 general election was fair, Trump would have a decent chance.
But the Democrat cheat machine, the media, and the GOPe are all aligned against him. It’s more than those folks don’t want Trump to win. They red-hot hate him. So they will pull out all stops. And the courts will just look the other way.
Given all that, if I had to guess today, I’d give Trump perhaps a 15% chance of winning. I’ll still vote for him. I’m just calling it as I see it.
Agree! I still see Trump as a winner! He is fantastic. Deep state will again not seat him. Dems are winners too..
Glad you can get away with that. I call it like I see it and get fussed at because I’m a “noob” or a “troll”
I (we) are existing in the reality of the world. 15% is generous.
Says the noob who has just shown up in time for election season. Which campaign you working for?
“I’d give Trump perhaps a 15% chance of winning”
Even if that is true, any other Republican candidate has a much smaller chance.
none. I’ve voted with the R’s non stop since Reagan. You don’t know me, run along and get a juice box.
Trump will win, but will not, again, be seated .sorry to say, Republicants are losers as a whole.Democrats win by hook or crook. They do what is necessary to win. I’m beginning to respect that. They just do whatever they need to do to win.
I’ll write him in if needs be
> Even if that is true, any other Republican candidate has a much smaller chance. <
I give Trump perhaps a 15% chance of winning. I think other Republicans have a better chance. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The better their chances, the less MAGA they are. And the less of a threat they are to the Deep State.
At one time I considered candidates other than Trump. For example, I think DeSantis has a better shot than Trump. But he’s less MAGA. Maybe that’s a decent trade-off.
I’m pretty much done with that kind of thinking. The indictments changed everything. Trump is being bullied. Time to stand with the victim here.
PTrump comes before what the DS plans for all of us.
It’s either Trump is elected or the country is gone! Only a fool thinks otherwise!
a couple more indictments and
Trump will have this thing
all sewn up
Trump should file a law suit against every person who signed that fake Russia collusion letter. He should sue them into a tent on some sidewalk. He has to pay rough now and this is the time.
“I think other Republicans have a better chance.”
Better than the Republican who has turned out more voters in a general election than any other Republican in history?
I think not.
I know it’s the conventional wisdom that a more moderate candidate could appeal to the independents and get more votes, but it won’t work out that way. You get most of your votes from energizing the base that already agrees with you to just turn out. And Trump does that in spades. Plus he seems to appeal more to independents than any moderate GOP candidate ever has. So it looks like the conventional wisdom is quite flawed.
