No matter how one arranges the details of this election process.
Trump is going to lose.
One way or another.
Dems didn't raid his house, invent damages of hundreds of millions of dollars , and alter state laws to find a 'crime'……
just to play nice in November when it matters most.
And 90% of the media will dare the American people to do anything about it.
I disagree about the outcome, although I agree about the plan.
The dirty tricks by the Democrats goes all the way back to 2016, from Obama's DOJ finding excuses to bug Trump's tower, to the shoddy 'dossier', to a media which tried everything it could to falsely show Trump as a racist and misogynist who was 'too dangerous' to be allowed power as POTUS.
It continued with a Republican Congress which was far more interested in their friendship with Democrats than in keeping campaign promises or listening to their constituents, basically the same hypocrisy we have seen which drove support for the TEA Party and which has undermined confidence by Americans in the GOP since 1988.
It continued further when a Democrat-controlled Congress impeached Trump for suggesting Biden's interference in his son's business dealings - now more than confirmed - should be investigated. Ironically, at
that time the Democrats made a great deal of noise about the unethical character of interfering with a political campaign just before an election, the kind of behavior which Democrats committed to a far greater degree in their attacks on Trump's campaign this year.
The Democrats clearly hoped to smear Trump's name with a flood of indictments and attacks, hoped to drain his money and energy through court cases, and to put Trump behind bars right before the GOP convention.
From an objective perspective, it's amazing to see how poorly this has worked out for the Democrats. It's impressive to observe that the public has seen through all this to an amazing degree, Especially among independent voters.
For Biden's part, his slide into late-stage dementia was a feature, not a bug, for the Democrats for a long time. if you go back to the winter of 2020, Biden was pulling all of 29% support, and that among Democrats. The only reason that makes sense for the DNC to effectively
hand Biden and Harris the nomination, was that both agreed to basically be puppets for the DNC, which explains a lot of the policies we have seen under Biden.
But just as the GOP has been incredibly tone deaf over the years (
what moron ever thought most Americans would be excited by John McCain or Mitt Romney?), the Democrats have sometimes managed to ignore the most obvious boundaries in American opinion.
I was worried at first about the charges against Trump, because I expected the Democrats to do the smart thing, which would be to dismiss charges or at least delay the trial, in order to say whatever they wanted about Trump without having to prove any of it. Instead. the Democrats went ahead on the apparent assumption that Trump would not only lose, but also humiliate himself by his words and actions.
Events proved otherwise.
Trump is a walking outlier. He is no conservative, yet his first term was the best result in conservative goals since Reagan left office. He cannot control his mouth, yet his enemies constantly humiliate themselves.
Donald Trump is a hopelessly narcissistic con man. Yet he may well be the only man standing between a future pursuing Reagan's 'City on a hill' and a dystopian nightmare.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
