The Democratic Party Is Wounded and Dangerous
2020-03-07
[American Thinker] - Beware the wounded animal. In pain and desperation, it will do violent things. It seems to me no coincidence that Joe Biden's big win on Super Tuesday was followed by Democratic senator Chuck Schumer threatening conservative members of the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Joe Biden is hardly Lancelot to President Trump's dragon. The Democrats and the Deep State needed a first-class warrior; instead, their best option is a walking advertisement for Alzheimer's awareness. In his best days, Joe Biden was the political equivalent of Jack McCall, shooting his adversaries in the back. When he wasn't using his position of power for financial gain or stealing other people's words, he was helping his family line their own pockets. Today, he's a disoriented and stumbling shell of an unimportant political hack who looks on in confusion while his wife does his fighting for him.

...I'm not saying President Trump's re-election is in the bag. Far from it. We've never seen such an array of villains acting in concert to take down an American president. The Democratic Party has most of the permanent bureaucratic Deep State (as well as stealthy anti-Trump Republicans), Wall Street, Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela, cosmopolitan Europe, global warming doomsayers, the Middle East's worst terrorists, and domestic Antifa terrorists here at home all actively working to dislodge President Trump from the White House. In the past, the chiefs of our intelligence agencies and clandestine services retired into relative obscurity, cognizant that duty commanded their silent withdrawal into the pages of history. After orchestrating a coup against the American president, however, it is not unusual to see the former heads of Obama's CIA, FBI, and NSC all tirelessly justifying their criminal acts on cable news each night. The corporate news media and institutional government have spent years trying to gin up enough hysteria in the nation that mock beheadings of the president and ritual re-enactments of his assassination during summer theater might lead the American people to clamor for the real thing.

...So, no, the 2020 election will not be over until all the votes have been counted on November 3, and it becomes clear that we have successfully preserved Western civilization for at least a little while longer from this most recent manifestation of Vienna's bloody 1683 siege. All I am saying is that Joe Biden was never meant to be the establishment's champion for resurrecting their oligarchic power. They wanted a formidable presidential nominee, someone who could check all the right identity politics boxes while stringing words together that were substantively meaningless while singularly inspiring. Instead, they're settling for a politician past his expiration date who sounds less crème de la crème and more soused in crème de menthe. The Democratic Party may depend on dead voters to win elections, but running dead candidates is another thing altogether.

#11  It's a gang of crooks and grifters and it's beginning to show. Clinton and Obama were crooks but they were charismatic crooks. That kind of charisma combined with the brains and stamina to run a presidential campaign is a rare commodity. Joe has none of it and Hillary has all the charisma of a rattlesnake. The only one in the bunch who has it is Bernie. He's honest too. He'll tell you straight up that he's gonna rip you off.

#10  Perhaps Bloomburg/Biden or Hillary/Biden. Biden would be satisfied with the VP position where he has enough power to sniff and grope little girls and women freely, but not have to actually be responsible for anything.

#9  Yup, Biden is going to step aside at at "brokered convention" and it will be either Bloomberg or Hillary. Or Bloomberg/Hillary.

#8  Ohhhh, I feel like the crying will be more than double when she loses again.

#7  #6 Yes, outcomes are all that matter to the Dems, not any rules or norms.

#6   Joe Biden was never meant to be the establishment's champion
And I don't believe he will be - I expect him to win the nomination (clearly lots of levers are being pulled to make that happen), but I think he will be replaced at the last minute by the Dem powers when he steps aside because he is 'sick.' His replacement? Best guess is Hillary - she would have won last time if she had not had to campaign, so this plan would let her run without campaigning.

That was El Bozo, they got what they wanted but couldn't consolidate it by coronating the Hilda-Beast.

To me this just shows how close we came to disaster and how fragile our republic is.
