Democrats are at DEFCON Level One (They’re Terrified)

Despite almost countless allegations, a ream of charges against him, as well as the mass media and even some of his Republican legislators, Trump keeps gaining ground even while sitting in a courtroom in Manhattan.

So “Old-Joe” has decided to debate Former President Donald Trump in two televised debates. 

At this juncture, one has to ask a couple of questions. 

1. Why would the White House allow this fossil to debate one of the most formidable face-to-face opponents in the business? 
2. If Joe performs (as most of us think he will) terribly against Trump, then “what do the Democrats do now?” 

To answer the first question, “Old Joe” is down (according to most polling) in what we now call the “swing states” by anywhere between three and up to (in some states) as high as double-digits. Even in Nevada (as of a couple of days ago), Joe Biden was losing by nearly ten points. Joe’s best showing appears to be in Wisconsin, where he only loses by three. As for Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, the numbers are much worse (depending on the state). Arizona now appears to be returning to its roots and giving the nod to Trump and the United States Senate seat to Kari Lake.

With all of this said, Joe Biden and his record are now officially on the chopping block. The Democrats know this, and his White House staff knows this, as well as all of the biased political pundits who routinely visit the Sunday morning political shows. Joe Biden may be the only one who doesn’t or cannot read the tea leaves. Try as they might, the White House has trotted out White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre daily with fake economic numbers they’re trying to sell to the American people. The problem is, with no greenbacks in the American people’s pockets, it is becoming harder and harder for them to sell as America still ain’t buying this load of bull fertilizer.

“Old Joe’s” next problem is, “How does he perform for an hour and a half on stage” in front of the world, considering he can barely (if ever) make it through a ten-minute news conference? Donald Trump knows that (according to a Secret Service Agent) they shoot him up with amphetamines most mornings as well as a drug designed for Alzheimer’s patients. His team will also have him slamming Red Bulls during commercial breaks. This is why Trump requested last week to have a drug test performed on both candidates prior to the actual debate beginning. Undoubtedly, the White House will refuse on this issue.

Assuming Biden can hold his own on June 27th, they will likely keep him on the ticket at the convention in August. Let’s assume he tanks it and gets blown out of the water. The DNC now has a hard choice to make. Do they give up the White House altogether, knowing they will be severe underdogs in the down-ballot races for the House and Senate? They know they will lose seats in the House and they (meaning the DNC) also know they are likely to lose 3-5 seats in the Senate, meaning they now will be the minority.

What is more likely than not to happen is that the DNC goes to Jill and Joe and very sweetly says, “Joe, you have done well, but it is time to retire to your lawn chair on the beach in Delaware.” Many seem to think the DNC turns to California Governor Gavin Newsom to carry the torch for the Democrats. Personally, I can’t see that scenario playing out. The principal reason is that Newsom has a giant target on his back. The Republican Super-PACs will own this guy’s political soul. They will (over the course of three months) run hundreds of millions in advertising depicting the streets lined with tents, drug-addicted souls shooting up in broad daylight, and hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens pouring over the borders, not to mention visions of gasoline prices at the BP and Exxon stations. As if all of that is not bad enough, now they will show the newspaper headlines when Gavin signed into law that California was now a “Sanctuary State” for minors wanting to transition from being little boys into little girls. That will fly about as well as the Hindenberg Blimp did on that disastrous day in New Jersey back in the 1930s. My thinking is that you can throw Newsom out of the picture.

The most likely scenario is that the DNC chooses one of the swing state governors, such as Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer or Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro. This would help the Democrats ensure that one of these stays Blue for the electoral vote. Now, the question becomes, can any of these defeat Donald Trump’s locomotive campaign?

Despite almost countless allegations, a ream of charges against him, as well as the mass media and even some of his Republican legislators, Trump keeps gaining ground even while sitting in a courtroom in Manhattan. As I’ve said before, the Democrat’s fatal error was throwing too much against the wall, and they over-killed. So much so that the American people could clearly see what they were doing and have now rebelled against their efforts.

Boiling away all of the political jargon, speculations, and theory, this election is now Donald Trump’s to lose. If he can behave himself and mop the floor with “Old-Joe” on debate night (and do so in a nice way without being a jerk), he wins. If they put up another candidate, simply lasso Joe around that candidate’s neck and hype his record of no inflation, low gasoline prices, energy independence, a secure border, no world wars, and a great economy. Again, Trump wins based on “were you better off four years ago than today?”

Make no mistake; the Democrats are about to throw the Hail Mary as they are now at DEFCON ONE, which is the highest alert status.
