Infallible: Why the White House Can’t Admit the Real Reason for Biden’s “Where’s Jackie?” Moment

Well … We all know that the debating process in the Democrat Party is spurious and a mere symbolic formality. The DNC actually chooses their candidate arbitrarily regardless of the will of their members because if that were not so then Bernie would have been the one running against Trump in 2020, not Joe.

So I think the real question is what does the DNC see as a path to dig its party out of the hole they’ve put themselves in? They have to come up with something and someone who will both move the Party towards a more favorable political position and at the same time be electable.

The DNC and the Democrat Party as a whole have long been clasping the viper of Social Marxism to their breasts in a quest for political power. The venom from that viper is bubbling up all over the place. From a needless and embarrassing defeat in Afghanistan to the Border Crisis to runaway inflation where Blubbering Joe says over 8 points of inflation in a month is good because it wasn’t higher than that. Normal, average people are being hurt badly in ways that are obvious to them and that’s the venom at work.

Someone somewhere in power saw Joe as a good choice as POTUS because he’s as malleable as water and could be run by an unelected committee. As it turns out that unelected committee is composed of Social Marxists and so even more venom from the viper enters the nation’s bloodstream.

The Democrat Party is committing suicide and there’s nothing on the horizon to indicate they’re willing to stop. Hillary can run as a moderate centrist but that doesn’t mean she’d actually be a moderate centrist in Office. If she were elected and actually tried to do that she would shatter the Democrat Party into fragments. The Squad, Cory Booker and the rest of the Radical Left would brand her as a wolf in sheep’s clothing and a traitor.

The Democrat Party has gone too far in catering to the radical Left and now cannot curb their influence without mortal peril to the Democrat Party. Radical Leftists have seen this as them finally getting the traction in American politics they believe they ‘deserve’ and I think they’d gleefully destroy anyone in their own Party that tries to shelve them. We’ve all seen lots of examples of them eating their own.

This is what happens when you clasp a viper to your breast, when you make a deal with the Devil the Devil always wins.

The same goes to an even greater degree for any other lesser candidate that the Democrats can even dream of fielding in a Presidential election.

However, what worries me badly is the Republican Party’s proclivity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We have serious problems on the right too. There are still RINOs in power on the one hand and there are too many stubborn, crotchety, old intransigents of one stripe or another on the other hand. Too many willing to sell out and play the Leftists’ game, too many who think that if they can’t get everything they want all in one fell swoop then they’re going to take their dollies and their dishes and go home in a tiff.

I just had this discussion with one of the people here on this site that I don’t get along with —

“What are you going to do if Donald Trump runs and doesn’t get the nomination? Are you going to concede to the will of your fellow Conservatives and vote for the nominee they choose anyway? Or are you going to stomp off in a tiff, declaring ‘All is lost!’ and pout?”

That’s just one example of the problems we face as the Democrats hand us elections on a silver platter with their busted-ass policies. They’re doing that, can we take advantage of it or are we going to blow this opportunity too?

The way I see it, it would be nice to intercept the ball and run an 80 yd touchdown but anything that keeps moving the ball towards the end zone is a positive. It’s not that I’m “willing to settle for less”, it’s that I’m trying to be realistic and not shoot my own foot off over something that is getting me where I want to be.

I’m old and beat up though in general my health is pretty good. I’m not thinking of my future as much as I am considering what my grandchildren will be facing. Politics is a long game and I’ll never see the final score. I can’t afford to pass up good opportunities out of petulance, bull-headedness and hero worship. Sadly there are many, perhaps too many, on the Right who are willing to do just that.

So I apologize but I don’t have any answers either. The only answer I have is that I hope people would do the right thing and make the best choice when it presents itself, whatever that right thing turns out to be.

I don’t have a crystal ball and I don’t know the future. What I do have is a willingness to consider all the possibilities, all the ramifications and choose the best one for our Republic. That’s a choice that does not credit personalities and I am not swayed by charisma. In politics I do not get emotionally invested in people because I’ve learned that people will let me down. I am a slave to cold, hard, bloody-minded, dispassionate reason.

The way I see it, emotionalism in politics is a recipe for disaster no matter which side you’re on. Our political enemies rely heavily on blatant emotionalism and that should be enough reason to spurn emotionalism at every turn. If you want to know why emotionalism is a deadly trap then look at the mess that has gotten them and our nation into.

That could very well be. Time will tell. I don’t know if they’re that smart but even if they do that, a celebrity presidential candidate like Clooney or Hanks will be badly out of his depth and dig the hole they’re in even deeper.

It would be very interesting to see a hollow, shallow celebrity actor debate someone like Trump or DeSantis. I’d make some popcorn and invite my friends over to watch.

That might be a last gasp effort the Democrat Party will try. If so, that kind of person will be hoisted on his own petards.

All Trump or DeSantis would have to do is see that the question “How will you bring gas prices down?” is introduced to the debate. They don’t even need it to be a formal, scripted question. They could just bring it up.

Trump or DeSantis would say “Supply and demand dictate price. So I would increase the supply. Get back to or even increase production levels that existed in the previous administration creates the same situation as we had then. The proof is historical and obvious.”

Which is a true, simple statement.

Then sit back and watch Clooney or Hanks or whoever try to remain true to their greenie AGW base with a convoluted explanation of why we need more things that we know don’t work and are expensive in lieu of what we know does work and is cheap. They’d have to do that or lose support of that part of their base. No way Hanks or Clooney or any of their ilk is going to say the equivalent of “Drill, baby drill!”

The same tactic works for many other issues that face us today.

“How do you stop the flood of illegals into America?”
“Close the border.”

“How do you stop inflation?”
“Tighten the money supply while taking the brakes off commerce to increase prosperity and tax revenues so we can actually fund programs and not just print more money.”

“How do you put America back on top of the global power system?”
“Fund the military and make our allies do the same to carry their fair share. We’ve paid for anti-Western socialism by relieving our friends of the cost of military expenses, which they then use to fund socialism, for far too long. Let’s see how socialist they are when they don’t have that surplus anymore and actually have to pay their share of their own defense. If you think there’s no threat to defend against, as any Ukrainian.”

Etc.

Very, very entertaining indeed. I hope they go that route.
