The Big Lie 2024: A Peek Inside the Ruling Elite's Playbook to Kneecap Trump, Purge Military, and Neutralize MAGA - Revolver
Hmmm...
I used to love presidential politics. And no, I don't know why. Guess it was the whole Iowa Caucus and the long, several months, of following the candidates, and I was equally interested in both parties. It is a part of Americana, our political system, our history. Then it was on to New Hampshire with its unique voting system, the polls opening at midnight in some counties. And it was watching how the handlers for each candidate spin the results. Candidate Joe Blow finished a "strong 4th in Iowa, and now finished 2nd in New Hampshire...he's on the move, climbing up in support!" Then Joe Blow gets wasted in South Carolina and his whole campaign crumbles.
But now the Grand Theft Election of 2020 has soured me on the whole process. And how divided the country has become too. After the 2022 Midterms the POTUS 2024 campaigning begins, really in January 2023 when potential candidates will start to emerge.
The Dem Party is strongly considering ending the Iowa Caucus and also not having Iowa among the first stops in the primaries. They say Iowa is not diverse enough. Keep in mind like all political parties the Dem Party is a private organization (in their case a for-profit organization!) and can do whatever it wishes. Like other political parties both the Dems and the GOP could suspend the primaries and choose their candidates at a convention with selected delegates deciding. But, like many people say, including and mostly Dem voters, if the party is going to have a public primary system, then stop the tampering and the cheating and allow voters to decide who gets the nomination. The fix is in by the Dem Party elite committee.
I suspect the whole 2024 presidential election cycle will be one for the books.
Sources say DeSantis will seek the GOP nomination for 2024. This will split the Republican Party creating an internal power struggle which will probably lead to a Dem win in the general election. I like DeSantis but 2024 is not his time to run for POTUS. Oh, I understand his political advisors are telling him he is a hot commodity right now and represents a great time to run for the WH. But, the damage that will be done whether he gets the nomination or not will wreck the GOP's bid for the WH and also damage the critical congressional races denying the GOP gaining seats in Congress.
We all have seen how goofy GOP voters can be when their guy doesn't get the nomination. There is the great case study right here in Louisiana and why we have been saddled with JBE for 8 years. Stupid GOP voters will stay home and hand the general election to the Dems because they can't get over their guy not getting the nomination. And this will certainly happen in 2024 when the losing side of Trump vs. DeSantis is left disappointed. I am supporting Trump for the GOP nomination, but if DeSantis wins it then I am supporting DeSantis full tilt in the general election.
Now, what might happen is Trump takes a nice lead in the primaries and DeSantis quits to become the VP nominee. If DeSantis enjoys the lead Trump won't quit and then he'll just attack DeSantis relentlessly and do the Dems dirty work for them. The Dems have their own problems about getting a nominee for 2024 but when that dust settles, they will cast aside their petty differences and get behind the winning candidate.
Speaking of which, the Dems have ditched Iowa and relegated New Hampshire to a lesser status by having South Carolina as the first primary.
Mitt Romney type republicans occupying the WH are more dangerous than having a dem in there.
If you want the hideous laundry list of dem policies to get fast tracked, just vote for the RINO. Romney, McCain and Jeb Bush would have been far worse for America than Obama or Biden have been, because there would have been party line votes pushed by these guys for policies in complete opposition to the values of their voters.
At least the way it turned out real Americans could act as the loyal opposition to pushing the nation toward socialism and and the eroding of our rights.
Yeah, I'll stay home. Republican means nothing to me.
Early watch prediction...
if Robert Kennedy, Jr. plays his cards right, he will be the next POTUS (2024).
Now, that is a big IF. His connections need to outline a plan for him to be libtard wacky enough to secure the Dem nomination without completely offending/turning off independents, and then switch to a moderate stance in the general election. This can be tricky, but if handled properly, he can pull it off. This also assumes he doesn't have some Hunter Biden-type crap that will surface later.
"Exhaustion"
A nationwide poll asked voters how they are feeling about a possible Trump-Biden rematch. The choices ranged from Not Happy to Elated and a host of possibilities in-between. The number one choice, garnering 67% of the responses was EXHAUSTION. I can understand why. This is mostly due to the lamestream media propping up, covering for Biden, while launching unfounded attacks against Trump. Many people, I dare say MOST, are simply tired of hearing about both of them and wish neither would run. The shame of it is, that is warranted in the case of the douchebag Biden, but the tragic part is how the Left/lamestream media has successfully painted Trump as someone he is not and have done so with a constant barrage day after day. Weak-minded folks (who are otherwise decent) have grown weary of the whole mess. That has been the goal of the Left, to hammer the minds of Americans with anti-Trump lies knowing that a segment of the voting populace would scream, "Enough!" And, it has worked too.
And this is why I think someone like Robert Kennedy, Jr. has a chance to "steal" the dem nomination and then he will smoke Trump in the general election. Long way to go, though.
Karl Rove says the party that dumps the "exhausting" candidate will win the WH in 2024. Biden vs. a generic GOP candidate, the GOP wins. Trump vs. a generic Dem candidate, the Dem wins.
Biden vs. Trump? Might be two third-party candidates, one from each side, garnering significant votes to make it interesting. Ross Perot got 19% and put Bill Clinton in. And Ralph Nader took enough votes away from Gore in Florida to hand it and the election to George Bush.
A libtard YouTuber posted a video captioned, "Something appears to be wrong with Joe Biden." Ya think!?
I really like Vivek Ramaswamy. Of course, he dosen't stand a prayer of even getting close to the GOP nomination and/or winning the general election. But, I like his ideas.
Karl Rove is the architect of the failure the republican party has become. He needs to be shelved, but the RINOs love him.
ABC poll has Trump leading Biden 45-38% in a head-to-head matchup.
Vivek Ramaswamy moves into second place in GOP primary polling, but in just one poll. He is at 12.2% to Desantis' 12%, a virtual tie and certainly well within the margin of error. DeSantis is the true 2nd place holder way behind Trump. Just interesting that Ramaswamy is surging while DeSantis appears dead in the water.
Federal trial for Trump set for May 24, 2024. This will be after Trump has won the GOP nomination, which is exactly what the judge wanted, or what she was told she wanted by the powers that be. Trial will take 2 months or so. If Trump is convicted of a felony, he can't run for POTUS, leaving the GOP to scramble to find another candidate only 4 months from the general election. This is all by design. Now, one good thing from this timing is IF Trump is acquitted. The other bogus trials can't begin until the Federal case is settled. So, the kangaroo courts in New York, Miami, DC, and Atlanta can't begin until probably that fall or in 2025.
I keep telling myself: Ballot box over the ammo box. But, it's getting harder and harder to subscribe to that.
There are no rules that say a convicted felon can’t run for President.
