Slate’s reaction to Kamala’s great, big, huge, enormous win in the debate was, “Kamala Harris isn’t in terrible shape right now, but her supporters don’t have to look too far to find reasons to panic, if they’re inclined toward that sort of thing.”
She’s a terrible candidate chosen because of her incompetence. Propping her up is more difficult than the Weekend At Biden’s act the media and the insiders have engaged in over the last four years. They are stuck with her.
Ryan James Girdusky said on CNN, “She is the worst polling Democrat against Donald Trump in history on national polls — NO ONE is performing worse than her…she is losing key factions of the Democratic base.”
The desperation of DC to hang on to power deteriorated into parody last weekend as Kamala’s campaign grasped at neocon straws.
The endorsement of Kamala by Dick Cheney greatly amused Meghan McCain as she reveled in it backfiring just like every other scheme by Democrat-RINO Incorporated had failed since they cheated President Trump out of a second term.
She tweeted, “Seeing all of these extreme progressives suddenly become Dick Cheney fans is objectively hilarious.”
Of course, they are not really fans of his. No way. Instead of winning over Trump supporters, the move is turning off liberals who spent most of the first decade in this century hating on Darth Cheney. Oh sure, they’ll take one for the team. This time. But they have already taken a few for the team, including Kamala’s refusal to publicly support eradicating Israel. One more and a lot of people will stay home on the Fifth of November.
On the other hand, the endorsements remind MAGA voters of all those betrayals by the Republican Establishment. There were no weapons of mass destruction.
This is another battle the Family Cheney will lose because the Lord did not deflect that bullet just to have The Donald lose on November 5th.
I agree with Steve Hayward, who wrote, “I continue to think he is going to win, because I have a near mystical belief that he’s a world-historical figure of destiny. No, it’s not rational in any conventional sense, though perhaps I can spin a neo-Hegelian case. (But that wouldn’t be prudent.)
“I can give you rational reasons why he should be favored to win, too, but why crib from Nate Silver’s work. The point is, Trump may not be sufficiently articulate, but he has become the surprising and unexpected champion of everyone around the globe who has had it with our conventional ruling elite of nearly all historic political parties.
“The old order is dying, and a new one is struggling to be born, against fierce opposition and long odds. And while I am fully aware of Trump’s many defects, our ruling class, our corrupt institutions, universities, government bureaus, and mass media, deserve to lose to him.”
The Cheney endorsement is a high risk, no reward move for Comrade Kamala. Having Dick Cheney and his Mini-Me Liz side with Kamala is the latest failure by Democrats and RINOs to stop Donald Trump.
Let me count the ways they have failed.
Their insurrection, in which they derailed a peaceful protest by luring a few people into the Capitol, failed to keep him off the ballot.
The raid on Mar-a-Lago failed.
Lawfare failed.
The mugshot failed.
The indictments failed.
The conviction failed.
The conviction failed so badly that the judge postponed sentencing hum until after the election because imprisoning Trump would have given him a 50-state landslide.
The first assassination attempt failed.
The thing about failure is it turns off fans. The one thing I have learned in my lifetime as a Cleveland ’dians fan is not many people show up for the games when the team posts 100 losses in one season.
Winning however got the team 455 consecutive sellouts.
And so it goes with politics. Republicans in West Virginia did not control the legislature for 84 years. The nadir came after Republican Governor Arch Moore went to prison. After that election, Republicans were down to their last man (a woman) in the 34-seat state Senate.
Things won’t be that bad for Democrats.
For now.
But they sense a bad day at the office on November 5th. They are fighting to Save Our Senate because Kamala is looking more unelectable by the day.
But West Virginia will give Republicans their 50th senator, Montana their 51st and now Ohio the 52nd as Democrats lose their Senate seats in the red states.
The Cheneys are the worst endorsement possible because the left’s embrace of Liz and Dick proves that the Republican-Democrat battle in DC is a Punch-and-Judy show in which Republicans blame their failure to deliver on promises on Democrats — and vice versa.
KAMELA I’M YOUR FATHER
Lefty, NeoCommie Dick has always hated conservatives. But HEHAS GUTS! He killed his elective career voting with otherr UNIPARTY folk against Ronny many times in ’87 + ’88. NEVER WON ANOTHER ELECTION!
Many “Bush ?Republicans?” were against the conservative policies of Ronny but lacked the guts to vote against him; with good reason as Dick’s seppuku plainly Shows.
late disclaimer.
I’ve been a conservative over 66 years. Voted for Ronny 9 times, Dick has always hated me; I have returned the favor for decades!
