Presidency

Presidential Race: One Scenario

All of the talk shows today were talking about two things: Donald Trump’s impending arrest, and last night’s Republican Presidential Debates. Even Larry Correia is going on and on about how Trump can’t win, and we need to support one of the guys from the debate last night. He seems to think that the left wants Trump to be the nominee because they know that Biden will beat him because everyone hates Trump. Here is Trump’s mugshot:

All things being equal, I don’t think Trump is a great choice. Mostly because we know the swamp will fight him every step of the way, and let’s face it, he is old. Still, he is polling with such a large lead that all of the Republican candidates combined couldn’t beat him. With that being said, I am not really liking any of the other candidates, either.

  • Christie is a RINO gun grabber authoritarian that will actually be worse than Biden.
  • DeSantis is a great governor here in Florida, but he is too polished, and too much a favorite of the establishment Republicans, and of the MSM. I don’t trust what he is selling.
  • Vivek is too young and naïve. He isn’t ready.
  • Pence will never get the MAGA vote. They will stay home before electing him. There is no path forward for a candidate that doesn’t have the MAGA vote. They are half of the Republican base, for crying out loud.
  • The rest of the field either has no shot or is even worse.

When it comes election time, Trump is still the best choice. I don’t think that it matters.

The talking heads were asking callers if it came to a choice between Biden and Republican X, what would you do in the election. Most of them said that if Trump were not the candidate, they would stay home. That’s important, and I will explain.

The cheat, the fix, is in.

Trump wins the Republican nomination. It is obvious that he will do so in a landslide. At least one of his trials will happen at some point between now and June 4, the date of the last Republican primary. The Democrats are likely to get at least one conviction on the 91 charges that Trump is facing. Sorry, but Federal prosecutors have better than a 90% conviction rate. They only need one conviction on one charge for this to work. That one conviction will be enough of a fig leaf for at least some Democrat Secretaries of State to deny Trump from appearing on the ballot, claiming that the conviction bars him from running under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. If even six states, currently with a Democrat as Secretary of state don’t put him on the ballot, the Democrat runs unopposed:

  • Arizona (11 electoral votes)
  • Illinois (20 electoral votes)
  • Michigan (16 electoral votes)
  • Minnesota (10 electoral votes)
  • Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes)
  • Wisconsin (10 electoral votes)

Do the math. Losing those six swing states would deny Trump 87 electoral votes and make it virtually impossible for him to get the 270 votes needed to win the election. They don’t need to stuff a single ballot box. That doesn’t require them to pull any other shenanigans. They don’t need Oprah, Big Mike, or even Newsome. All they need is a single conviction.

There is enough hatred of Trump among the establishment Republicans that I don’t think the party will put up more than token resistance. You know, like they are now. Some strongly worded letters, fiery speeches, that sort of thing. Even if they do scream- what can they do? We have already seen what good lawsuits and lawyers do.

So as far as worrying about the debates and all of that?

I don’t think it matters. There will not be another Republican in the White House, and the Republicans in charge of the party don’t care, as long as they get to keep their cushy positions.

They Should be Disbarred

An attorney that is part of Hunter Biden’s legal team called the court house, pretending to work for a Republican congressman to get a court filing removed from the public docket, saying that it was filed in error. The judge is furious.

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who is set to decide whether to approve Biden’s plea deal on tax and gun charges today, said that a member of his legal team “misrepresented … who she worked for” to get evidence removed from the docket. Noreika threatened to place sanctions on the lawyers.

The parties had reached a plea deal that would see Biden getting away without punishment for his crimes. The judge appeared upset that she was being asked to act as a “rubber stamp” on the deal. The deal is now on hold, and Hunter pled not guilty today.

There is certainly more here than there was against Clinton or Trump on their impeachments. If even half of the allegations are true, the President has been taking bribes for decades, and this certainly deserves impeachment and removal from office, but we all know that this will never happen in the banana republic that this nation has become.

Vivek Ramaswamy

I was listening the radio the other day, and the host was interviewing Vivek Ramaswamy. A lot of the things he had to say made sense to me. I thought to myself that I could easily vote for him.

Then I found out that he believes it’s wrong to kill animals for “culinary pleasure” (i.e. eating them). Holding an opinion like that is a deal breaker for me in a Presidential candidate. Why? If he really believes that it is wrong to kill and eat animals, he will be willing to pass and support laws and policies that make it more difficult to eat meat.

I also don’t think it will matter. I think that the elections going forward are rigged, but will continue to vote anyway, because I may be wrong and it costs me virtually nothing to do so.

Reporter

The last great reporter of what used to be free America. There is truth in Tucker Carlson’s latest report. I tip my hat to you, sir. I can’t imagine anyone saying it better.

Above all, there was no felony. Hunter Biden, who broke federal gun laws, can still carry a gun. It’s like it all never happened. In fact, the Justice Department just baptized Hunter Biden—a lifetime of sins, washed away in an instant. It was a secular miracle.

The Fix in In

No, not that one. I’m not talking about the 80’s band. I’m talking about how Hunter Biden has “reached an agreement” with the DOJ. In exchange for pleading guilty to two minor misdemeanor tax charges, all of the investigations against him will be dismissed and/or closed, including the felony gun charges.

An “in-your-face” show of contempt for the rule of law, Biden regime gives sweetheart plea deal to Hunter Biden. Avoids prosecutions tied to foreign bribery and the President. This is why Joe was laughing when reporters asked him about it.

It’s good to be a part of the Emperor’s family. How is the ATF going to treat anyone caught with a pistol brace? Meanwhile, the Bidens use bribe money to buy guns, crack, and hookers ON VIDEO, and they get a small fine.
