Ha! Kamala could only garner 2% support when she ran for POTUS and quickly dropped out.
The Democrats won’t dare step over a black woman for the likes of Gavin Newsom.
I think they’ll sacrifice this election to Trump to get rid of both Biden and Harris and concentrate on 2028 - setting that up by viciously attacking Trump every single day for his every single move, just as they did during his first presidency.
Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner. You are 100% correct. And yes they will do everything possible to undermine Trump every day until he terms out and say: “Why didn’t he do anything?” Um, you blocked everything.
Completely irrelevant. Crooked Joe Biden got 1% of the vote twice. He had to drop out for plagiarizing. They dragged him through while he was clearly passed his prime (which wasn’t a very high bar to begin with)
Kamala could only garner 2% support when she ran for POTUS and quickly dropped out.
And that was among Democrats.....in a primary.
So do I, but that means:
1) The Deep State/IC is not worried about Trump any more - they think he is too old, too addicted to his own celebrity, and they can easily neuter any serious attempts he makes to limit their power.
2) The only entity in DC capable of truly limiting the Deep State/IC's power is the House of Representatives, led by an activist Speaker. They will put their time and effort into keeping potential threats out of the House, as they did in 2022.
The interests of the Deep State/IC and the interests of the Left Wing of Democrat Party are staring to diverge. Leftist collectivism is not really of any interest to the DeepState/IC except as a control mechanism for the lower classes - the way the CCP uses it - and a way to keep potential internal adversaries distracted and off-balance.
We are already seeing people like Jamaal Bowman being replaced with more reliable "old hands". MAGA conservatives will in the same way be gradually pruned out of the Republican Party using 2020-style fraud tactics in the primaries - with the full support and consent of the leadership. That's why the GOP leadership is not too interested in addressing ballot fraud - they fear (rightly) that without the ability to use it themselves when necessary they will lose control of their own primaries.
3) Look for four years of a holding pattern - with a potential economic crash, major wars, and more viruses - all of which the media can conveniently blame on an aging Trump. This will keep him off-balance and limit his ability to implement any MAGA goals the Deep State/IC might object to. Inflated prices will not deflate, the dollar will continue to weaken, and housing prices and interest rates will continue to rise. The script will then flip, and within two years the media will will be calling Trump senile and his VP choice "unthinkable" as a replacement.
4) In the meantime, Trump will be performing the same service for the Deep State/IC that Biden has: convincing older, wealthier whites that an experienced, WASP-ish President is in control and there is no need to direct their vast economic power into making any serious political changes.
I am as big a Trump fan as anyone, but it would take a Franco or a Pinochet to smash these people the way MAGA voters hope for and there isn't one anywhere in American politics right now. It really would take F-15's to eliminate the Deep State/IC - or invasion and occupation by a foreign power. Neither of those scenarios would be pleasant for the average American.
If they nominate Harris--or Joe resigns, and Harris becomes President--the praetorian press, Hollywood, academia, and the rest of the Democrat propaganda machine will convince millions of the willingly brainwashed that she's the smartest woman who's ever lived, Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa, the Statue of Liberty, and the savior of democracy.
The Lower Slobs will love her.
