Live by a demographic victim group strategy and die by that same strategy.

When have the Democrats actually campaigned honestly on their vision and goals? We can blame the GOP for failing to come together with a cohesive platform, but there is a split in the party of the old Reagan establishment types that like globalism, war and big government... and the new face of the party that is of the producer class that leans much more libertarian. But Democrats have devised a political method that hides their agenda while fomenting a class, race, gender and culture war. And because of this strategy they have to play loyal to these victim group tribes... showing unwavering fealty to identity politics over true merit.

Kamala Harris is terrible... just gawd awful. Democrats know it, yet they are stuck with her because of female and half-black. Biden is of course a white male, but he plays that part of the weak low-T type of puppet to the feminist and race rage movements.

Yes, the Democrats are stuck. Their only saving opportunity is that we have old establishment looting types in the GOP committed to holding onto their power even if it requires them to support the Democrats as the Democrats are the party of Wall Street and big money.

This gives the phrase "stuck between a rock and a hard place" a very interesting slant. If you go "25" on Joe all the Prevagen in the world won't bring him back. Senility is not reversible. Kamala rules - at least through early next year. Do the Dems risk nominating anyone but her to head the ticket next November? This will rip the Party to shreds if they do. Gone will be the women and minorities. Does anyone remember that Ole' Joe promised when he was running in 2020 to be a "a one-term president, just a placeholder until 2024"? Pop the corn this is going to be very interesting to watch.

Do you think this is all by design? Have they stopped giving him his meds to be able to bring in Newsome? Don’t trust them.

There's an old expression that says: "One convinced against their will is of the same opinion still."

I suspect this is why the Democrats refuse to believe what is in front of their faces.

They hate Donald Trump so badly whatever reality they embrace is skewed...and it ain't gonna change.

When will the 25th amendment be introduced to remove Biden from office? The day after he starts WW3 because of his senility?

I wish that Donald Trump would now take this opportunity to act our leader and presidential as the campaign goes on to give this country hope and comfort. I don't care how much a lead Trump may have in the polls and swing states now, he has the ability to blow it at any time with his non-presidential actions.

You will never loose money betting on Republicans to blow opportunities. Trumps best strategy at this point is to become low-key and presidential: No more gloating!

With all due respect, last week you said there was very little chance that Joe Biden wouldn't be on the Ticket in Nov. We should stop listening to people who have been saying that. Do you want to revise that position?

I think without the Special Counsel report, it is extremely unlikely Biden is replaced. The odds are actually still that he remains, but I think we will now see a real push to move him. The problem for the Democrats is a Kamala sized problem.

But can't they mitigate that problem if they have Obama on the ticket?

Still amazed--but not surprised--that Trump is creaming Biden in the "physical and mental competence" parts of that NBC poll.

Imagine what "I See Dead People" Biden would look like against a normal GOP candidate...

Biden's "handlers" knew what they were doing when they let him loose last night. They realize that they can't win with him and need to clear the decks now and get someone else that can potentially beat Trump b/c Biden won't.

Two announcements yesterday that should lead to subpoenas from the House.

While VP Biden worked with a ghost writer, whom he fed secret docs to, but has since deleted the audio recordings, DESYROYING evidence. Who instructed this guy to wipe the disk?

John Soloman received 60 Biden emails under a fake name. Those show he was sharing privileged government data with family and friends. Joe's disregard for America goes way back and he should be charged.

This show is just starting to get good

What does Erik’s last sentence about Aloha mean?

Expand full comment

Aloha (/əˈloʊhɑː/ ə-LOH-hah, Hawaiian: [əˈlohə]) is the Hawaiian word for love, affection, peace, compassion and mercy, that is commonly used as a greeting. It has a deeper cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians, for whom the term is used to define a force that holds together existence.

The Hawaii Supreme court rules in favor of a law that violates the second amendment and they sighted the Aloha principle of the Hawaii State Constitution to override the US Constitution.

Saw this news unfold last night. Had trouble sleeping due to my out of control laughing :)

So now I am a pollster. The numbers say that 80% believe he is senile but 0% of low informational voters will switch their vote.

And that is what frustrates me the most.

When politics are placed ahead of national security. The media knows Biden is not just slipping mentally but has slipped. He is not up for the job. Everyone around him is aware of this. By the way, at this point fingers should be pointing at Jill who, while supportive of her husband, must be aware how bad he has declined. I have heard several woman point this out and place blame on her. But the media, in their hatred of Republicans, middle America and especially Donald Trump are propping up a man whose cognitive abilities are deteriorating in front of their eyes while we have a middle east in chaos with the help of a bullish Iran, a China bent on causing global unrest, Ukraine at war against a tyrant bent on glory. The list is endless. We have a President who is long past being effective. The media knows this. The Democrats know this. Worst, America's enemies know this and are using this to their advantage. Biden will leave America much worse off on the world stage then the day he was sworn in.

Why don't the Democrats just put up a yellow dog as their candidate..

Let us solve the issue by removing the Amendment forbidding third terms so Barack Obama can come out from behind the curtain and run against Trump.

I’ve been watching Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin in pieces since it is two hours long. There is no question that Putin is razor sharp mentally. No softball questions on his favorite vodka or if he still goes bare chested while riding a horse.
