Category: Political Strategy

just don’t see how Joe Biden survives, politically. The Hur report was incredibly damaging! Yes, it kept Joe from facing justice, but only at the price of saying that he is incompetent to stand trial!

So are Dems going to rally around Joe now? Some might, because there are some rigid political hacks that would vote for a moldy potato if it had a “D” after its name!

And coincidentally, that is a pretty good description of Old Joe Biden himself!

But many won’t. Joe simply is not able to debate Trump (and mark my words, he won’t). And all that are big electoral problems for him, because last time he barely won even with massive voter fraud. And lots of people are WAY more careful and aware now. Agreed, not enough has been done to secure the vote. But it would still be harder, now.

Let me say again, I think the political hit has been put out on Joe Biden. All of a sudden we are seeing arguments critical of him in big Democrat shill “news” papers like the NY Times. I really don’t think that is a random occurrence–it is strategy.

There are HUGE problems with replacing Joe. It won’t be now, because the person who could successfully run is Michelle Obama, and she will wilt if put out right now. She needs to be “sprung” on voters at the last possible moment. Like at the beginning of September.

Now maybe voter fraud will again be enough. Sometimes I am cynical enough to think that no matter who Democrats run, they will cheat enough to “win.” But I sure hope not.

right to worry.

The point is, and I think Yglesias is correct about this, abortion isn’t as potent an issue now as the pandemic was back then. It may still be significant in certain races but it’s not going to unify the party the way the absurd fantasy that Joe Biden would magically “shut down the virus” did four years ago.

Meanwhile, unless something actually changes, you’re going to keep getting bad news about the border crisis every month between now and the election. Maybe sanctuary city mayors will be able to discipline themselves to not complain about it as loudly as they have been lately (or maybe not). But there’s a real chance the border will still be on people’s radar in November. In short, Democrats are probably right to worry.

it begins…

It’s VERY smart of Trump to start now hammering Biden about being unwilling to debate. And it is FAR from the last time. But this is early enough to catch team Biden off balance a bit. And it prepares the battlespace for the near future.

“I’d like to call for, immediately, debates,” Trump said on The Dan Bongino Show. “I’d like to debate him now because we should debate,” continued the former president. “We should debate for the good of the country.”

Brutal. But wait, there’s more!

“He can’t do it because he can’t talk. He can’t do anything”

So we’re starting now to frame Biden’s refusal to debate as proof of his imbecility. Well done, sir, well done…

If “Biden” wants to play these stupid games, he needs to win some stupid prizes. Maybe THAT will learn him!

The problem we have had are that most elected Republicans are too “kind and gentle” to effectively fight back. But if you keep apologizing to the bully for “making” him terrorize you, you will always be a mewling victim. If once you have paid him the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane…

And the Vikings weren’t dumb; They returned over and over to those who had once paid them! They knew a cash cow when they saw one.

In the immortal words of Bart Simpson, “You don’t win friends with salad.” In other words, a mamby-pamby response is NOT likely to either be effective or to rally the troops. NOTHING will change until you stand up to the Dane bully! Until then, you will repeatedly be a victim.

A bully only backs down when you smack him in the mouth. And the GOP needs to start fighting back in earnest. These Democrat bullies need to be smacked in the mouth…

know how things work…

And that is true. Which is why Leftists will almost never engage in an argument with you! They will just call names from the nosebleed section–they will virtually never strap on the pads themselves…

is that like almost all Leftists, KJP can’t defend her position so she runs away. THAT is now standard Democrat strategy. At every level, the strategy is to just not argue so as not to be beaten like the proverbial red-headed stepchild.

This time, though, she seemed especially perturbed and simply shut down the briefing, which was attended by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. She turned from the podium angrily, and when another reporter tried to ask a question, she cut him off with, “No. Thanks, everybody,” and stomped off.

Yep, that’s how you know you’ve won the debate–the Leftist runs away.

Karine Jean-Pierre could end this circus easily, and she knows it. Call on him once in a while. It’s not that hard. 

the gig. And those of us who are observant and have above-room-temperature IQ know it, too. Look at the numbers, folks!

Biden is hemorrhaging votes among Hispanics, his margin among women is dwarfed by opposition from men, and Black support for Trump is up to 22%, “a level unseen in Presidential politics for a Republican in modern times.”

…. Aside from polls, though, it’s worth looking at how the insiders are reacting, and they seem to be giving up on Slow Joe. Obama insider David Axelrod recently tweeted that Biden should think about withdrawing from the race:  “Only @JoeBiden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”

Yes, that’s hardly a vote of confidence. THAT is how people like Axelrod publicly try to dissuade Biden from running without looking like a total traitor. Axelrod has to be very careful. He wants to be rid of Dementia Joe, but he also doesn’t want to damage the Democrat party as a whole. THAT is a tricky maneuver!

Me? I dearly hope Biden runs again. But I’m not at all sure he will. He won’t win, and in terms of him not running, Kamala is the hitch in the Democrats’ giddy-up! How do you pass her over for, say, Gavin Newsom without losing voters in the Black community?

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein: How do you solve a problem like KaMAla?
