Well, the red wave turned out to be a red trickle. Want to learn some lessons from our mid-term election Australia? First, keep your promises. A lot of people who should have come out stayed home because republicans still have the stink of betraying their base on them. Second, fix any quirky election rules that favor one party over another. Third, look at the election through the lens of independent voters and run candidates that can actually win, not celebrity types or boot lickers that someone like Trump likes because they flatter him. Fourth, have a message that goes beyond I'm not a democrat and therefore I'm not crazy. Five, don't let pu**ies run your party. Find leaders who actually fight and inspire people.
As for the rest, I have been on record saying biden was toast after the mid-terms but since the republicans have once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory biden may have gotten a reprieve. But no way he runs in 2024. kamala will run against buttafudge and some of the commie governors out there in the godforsaken hellscape that is blue America but get ready for the return of Gollum. The woman from Arkansas who's name shall not be uttered here is going to run. She will follow the precious unto the fires of Mount Doom. Those tricksy little Hobbitesses stole it from her and she wants it back. Grab some popcorn because when that old gasbag starts swinging at the mental lightweight playing the role of VP it will be funnier than hell to watch. kamala got where she is because she did what men told her. Gollum got where she did because she hates men. Should be a barnburner good for a more than a few laughs.
Trump is running but his cult has shrunk in size and influence. He's out there painting Ron DeSantis as an establishment guy and his loyal Trump-cult is echoing their master's message but there are fewer of them and that message is falling flat. People know better and more republicans than ever have Trump-lag. I really thought he would wax DeSantis in a primary because of Fox News and Trump-cult but outside of Trump's butt-buddy hannity Fox is off the Trump train. Independents and democratic cross overs in Florida showed that Governor DeSantis can more than make up for the loss of Trump-cult so I think party bosses are going to be less afraid of the guy.
Despite his delusional claims that every republican who won owed their seats to him the reality is a lot of Trump selected and Trump adjacent candidates lost races they should have won. Why? Because independent voters were reminded of Trump and either stayed home, voted democrat, or just left that bubble blank. If the republicans do run Trump in 2024 he will lose and he will lose well beyond the margin of cheating. Trump-cult is loud and cranky like their leader but their numbers have diminished. Trump will be 78 in 2024 and the American people are getting fed up with these old Boomers who just won't go away. We will be coming off four years of dementia-joe and replacing him with a lame duck grumpy old narcissist is not going to appeal to many people outside of MAGA world.
That view may be unpopular but THAT lesson needs to be learned on this side of the Pacific and it needs to be learned quickly. My hope is Fox stops covering his rally's like they are some rock show and that sane republicans stay away. I am as far away from an establishment guy as you can get and I'm telling you so is Ron DeSantis. Trump-cult may paint him that way but that's only because they are mindlessly echoing their dear leader. If Trump told his cult followers that woman from Arkansas was on their side they would sing her praises. They will follow him off the cliff the same way cult members in the democratic party will follow them off the cliff. But Trump is playing his cards too early. His ego is out there trashing Governor DeSantis before the Governor has said what his plans are WRT to a run in 2024. All he has to do is remain quiet and let Trump show his ass while he alienates more people.
I liked a lot of what Trump did as president, but when we really needed him, when that COVID BS started he gave the country over to pence and fauci. Why? Because he wasn't up to the job. That is a huge fail and a huge reason why I could never vote for him again. It's not a popular position, but it's mine and I own it.
