GOP Needs A Trump Victory In November To Retain Senate Control
Here's what I think is the important paragraph:
The conventional wisdom among the still sizable group of Trump-skeptical establishment Republicans in Washington is that Republicans on the ballot can somehow separate their fate from that of Trump in 2020. Some high-level Republicans have said on background that they hope to create a path to a split ticket, where anti-Trump suburban voters vote for the Republican Senate candidate while voting for Joe Biden and his running mate. They think they have a clever solution to the problem posed by having a president popular with Republican voters and opposed by the media and others.
That should tell you all you need to know about Trump's travails in draining the Swamp--or even bringing it to heel. The Senate advises and consents to key Deep State nominations. Trump was extremely fortunate in getting Bill Barr to take on the AG position. Barr had the nearly unique combination of establishment creds but a principled commitment to justice, wherever that might lead.
Lots of unknowns with what happens with the Coronavirus on the House and Senate. Plus, will Biden be the nominee? If he is, Trump will win big, and this will help down ballot.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if Trump knocks off a couple more Democratic Senators, and keeps the other GOP seats. The problem is a not of Senators are listening to the Deep State Echo Chamber on Trump, as well as the crooked polls, and slanted MSM.
Plus, the Russia Gate / FISA / Flynn stuff keeps on getting released.
The humongous wild card here, it sure seems, is this mail-in voting crap. Bottomless opportunity for fraud in support of the Democrats here, if used exclusively or even just widely in swing states.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I see it, anyway.
Biden will not be the Democrat nominee. He was always a bait and switch candidate whose main purpose was to eliminate Bernie and clear the field. Biden's Alzheimer's act is a fraud that is designed to discourage an indictment for corruption (would Durham dare to indict a doddering old man afflicted with Alzheimer's?). In a gesture of faux magnanimity, Biden will step aside later this summer and the media will role out a preplanned campaign to lionize him as a Great Statesman making the ultimate sacrifice for the good of the country.
ReplyDeleteAnd the reason that some Senate Republicans are fearful of losing is because a lot of R voters are likely to punish the RINOs by not voting for them.
I hafta say, nothing would surprise me less than a switcheroo. Which will, of course, totally enfuriate the Bernie base.
DeleteOther than the platform concessions Bernie has extracted from Biden, I wonder what his price for bowing out this time was? One can only tramp between so many vacation "camps", especially if you cleave to the Green New Deal. A cabinet position for AOC perhaps?
DeleteSorry, completely off-topic question.I've become rather addicted to Twitter. They are manipulating conservative tweeters and now Dorsey is talking a new 'interstitial' tool to hobble tweeters inluding Trump. Is there a viable alternative out there?
ReplyDeleteThe only one I've heard of--cuz I don't do Twitter--is gab.com
DeleteThx. Yeah, looking at it. Seems extremely limited.
ReplyDeleteConcerning Biden's #MeToo woes:
ReplyDeleteI remember back during the late '90's early '00's there were numerous stories floating around about Kennedy, Biden, and Dodd being notorious in the DC watering hole world for having Rat Pack style bar hopping sprees and were famous for groping every barmaid, waitress, female server in sight. I would think a simple Nexus search would pull some of those stories up rather easily, but curiously none have resurfaced.

Maybe we'll learn more as we get closer to the convention. Maybe that's how they'll engineer a switcheroo.
DeleteI don't think there will be a switch. I think they will run with Joe. He's no more likely to lose than any other loser they can scrounge up. IF, by some miracle, he gets in the media will "smoke and mirrors" his admin while the Deep State parties like it's 1995.
ReplyDeleteA win-win for the DS/Dem criminal conspiracy to debauch Lady Liberty on the Mall in broad daylight.
All except for Hillary, who still nurses dreams of being called in from the wilderness. I expect she will curse James Wilson with her dying breath. On second thought she is probably too narcissistic and ignorant to know the architect of her nemesis, so she will be reduced to a Charles Foster Kane-esk, "Deplorables", an unoriginal phony to the end.
