Trump the Roadrunner.
Posted/updated on: June 13, 2024 at 4:05 pmThe Democrats have thrown everything at Donald Trump. Russia collusion investigations. Impeachment. And most recently, kangaroo court felony convictions.
None of it has worked. Trump is gaining strength. A tsunami of campaign cash is pouring in.
The Dems must feel like Wile E. Coyote. Every surefire ACME-inspired political explosive they have deployed against Donald Trump has detonated in their faces.
You can just see them (between panic attacks) scratching their heads and asking themselves, âWhy?â
You and I, on the other hand, are not the least bit puzzled. To someone living in the real world rather than a coastal, liberal bubble, it couldnât be more obvious.
Food was nearly a third less expensive when Trump was president. No new wars erupted on Trumpâs watch. Peace was breaking out in the Middle East. ISIS was neutralized. Xi Jingping, Kim Jong-un and the mullahs of Iran were all minding their manners.
Millions of illegal immigrants were not flooding across our southern border. The economy was expanding. Ordinary Americans had money to spend. Real wages were rising. Inflation was low. The middle class was expanding. We were on the verge of energy independence. Boys werenât playing girlsâ sports. We could buy whatever car we wanted.
And hereâs a key reason. Unlike every election since 1892 â when Grover Cleveland, like Donald Trump, was running for a third time hoping to secure a second, non-consecutive term â this time around, we donât have to guess or try to imagine what the administration of the winner will be like.
Weâre living with the Biden administration. We remember the Trump administration. The comparison couldnât be more stark.
All of this to say that it looks like Trump can win on November 5.
Are you ready for what happens next?
If Trump wins, the Left is going to come unglued. It will be far worse than 2016. For the media and the Dems, a Biden loss wonât be because of his dismal record. It wonât be the result of literally having nothing to which Biden can point and say, âThis is why I deserve a second term.â
If Biden loses, Democrats wonât gracefully accept the verdict and vow to do better next time. They will revert to form. Theyâll try to delegitimize Trumpâs victory. Theyâll say Biden lost because of some malign force in league with a criminally guilty Donald Trump. Even though it was roundly debunked the first time, count on the Dems to trot out Russia Collusion 2.0.
If Democrats win the House â an acknowledged possibility â a cavalcade of House investigations will immediately follow. (Buckle up for Impeachment 3.0.)
What wonât happen is any introspection. Never will Democrats (or the media â the two function as one), be curious as to why voters would prefer a baggage-laden guy like Donald Trump. Theyâll lash out instead.
Plain and simple, if Trump wins, his every day will be a raging maelstrom.
I wish it werenât so. It will be bad for the country.
But no matter. Because the alternative is just too awful to contemplate.
