Gavin Newsom took his first solid steps towards becoming president last night as the Republicans' brains fell out of their heads when they coronated an obnoxious, needy 5-year-old as their presidential candidate.
I'm putting my marker down right now that Gavin Newsom will be the next president. I cannot see how the Democrats will go all the way to November with a basket case like Biden as their standard-bearer. DNC rules state that if their presidential candidate withdraws after the primaries, the DNC can hand-pick the replacement.
Allowing the primaries to expire and then replacing Biden with Newsom is such an obvious play. First, the Democrats waste none of their donors' money on the primaries. If Biden dropped out now, the civil war on the left would be hideously expensive. They might also end up with that ancient, socialist poison pill, Bernie Sanders. Hand-picking Newsom after the primaries is an easy choice to make.
Newsom will absolutely slaughter Trump and lead to a historic down-ballot massacre. The younger generations have had quite enough of the Boomers, thank you very much. That's one of the biggest reasons why Biden is so unpopular - he's ancient. Trump has the same issues, just a bit less obvious.

Biden can barely string three sentences together while Newsom is a slick snake oil salesman. Trump's favorite topic is himself and who is saying nice things about him. I'm sure he'll come up with a nickname for Newsom, but that schtick is way past its sell-by date.
Further, Newsom will have oceans of money behind him while Trump will have $1.43 to spend after he pays all his legal bills. Every tech mogul on Earth save Elon Musk will put everything behind Newsom. Democrat donors, sensing Trump's blood in the water will open their pocketbooks like never before. It will be positive ecstasy to have been a part of beating Trump like a drum for those people. None of their money will have been wasted on primary campaigns.
Finally, at least a few of the indictments against Trump will stick. His legal team was chosen for her bra cup size, which is why he ended up without a jury trial in New York. His team forgot to check the box asking for a jury trial. His venues are stacked against him in Atlanta and DC. The indictments on the classified documents case are not only valid, they're just as well. Yes, Hillary should be wearing an orange jumpsuit, but the corruption that led to her escaping punishment doesn't mean we should throw out all of our laws with regards to classified information.
Every minute Trump spends in the courtrooms is time he can't spend campaigning and he's going to spend a lot of time in court. With even a few felony convictions, a huge chunk of the voters who might have considered him will abandon him.
Trump is ancient, he acts like a self-absorbed child, he talks like a schoolyard bully, he has absolutely no campaign funds, he's going to get convicted of multiple felonies and he's going to have to campaign from the witness stand.
All the Democrats have to do is slide Biden out the door and replace him with the snake oil salesman and they'll have a victory that will finally allow George McGovern to rest in peace.
You may well be right. It would not surprise me if the leaders in both parties are looking for ways to get around the primary system. Which admittedly is kind of a mess, and basically is set up so the first couple of states get to pick one or two party nominees without the rest of the country getting much input.
ReplyDeleteOf course, having the party leaders pick candidates in private and spring them on us is arguably worse. But, at least that wouldn't be giving the illusion that the general populace actually has a choice.

You can clearly see these principles if you just think about what would happen if another Republican pulled ahead of Trump and secured the nomination. You think Trump will step aside and endorse Nikki Haley? Or you think he'll declare the primaries rigged, that he was robbed by the establishment etc, and then either run for some kind of third party or direct his followers to sit out the election to teach RINO Nikki a lesson, thus splitting the Republican vote and ensuring Biden's win?
Malignant narcissists ALWAYS leave a path of destruction in their wake. ALWAYS.
The latest theory I've heard is after primary season is over, and the DNC can ignore the great unwashed (everyone), that Biden will step down from running, and the star chamber will put Michelle Obama in as the candidate. This allows them to also 86 Kamila, and slide Newsome in the stop.
ReplyDeleteBarack 2024. And the great unwashed will eat it up.
