Outrageous!

 


Friends, today I came across a statistic -- in the Washington Post, no less -- that really made my eyes bug out.  The percentage of Democrats who viewed Donald Trump's election in 2016 as illegitimate was about the same as the percentage of Republicans who now view Joe Biden's election as illegitimate.  As a matter of fact, Republicans are currently more inclined to give Biden the benefit of the doubt than Democrats and Hillary Clinton supporters were re: Trump in 2017.  Let that sink in.  Democrats have been clutching their pearls since November 2020, amazed than anyone would have the temerity to question the results of a U.S. election...and yet they did it themselves in the recent past.  And, as we all know, they have a long history of doing it, too.

Anyway, check out this quotation from the Post article: "Republicans’ rejection of Biden’s victory is not novel. In a fall 2017 Post-UMD poll, 67 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of Hillary Clinton voters said Trump was not legitimately elected president."  BUSTED!!!

 

In other news, is the Biden recession finally impacting the markets?  It looks that way:

And, finally, Gov. Ron DeSantis got a lot of kudos on the political right for his gambit of sending "migrants" to Martha's Vineyard, but Republicans remain solidly supportive of a potential Trump candidacy in 2024, and they seem to view DeSantis as decidedly second-best.  Ergo, as I've said a million times, if Trump wants it, i.e. the nomination, it's his.

    I will take DeSantis over Trump any time. Sorry, but it is DeSantis who is the man of action in getting things done in his state, and also giving the finger to the feds on illegal immigrants.

  2. And, Ray, maybe 20% of Republicans are with you! The bad news is that 80% are not. DeSantis has a lot of fans on the right, but I don't see him going toe-to-toe with Trump and coming out the victor. Ergo, the only way DeSantis gets to be the nominee is with Trump's consent.

    If Trump wins the presidency again, I foresee the same hysterical b.s. all over again. In any event, I don't agree that Trump is the only person with enough backbone to "save" the country. Frankly, I think that belief is ridiculous.

  4. Dr . Waddy from Jack: The left has long since proven itself amoral in its pursuit of complete power
    by any means necessary. That gained, it would be used for any incidental purpose according to the left's unchallengeable wisdom. Disingenuous preemption of issues is a typical strategem and so obvious that we are well advised to assume it at work by the left and its
    dem party shills, freely and regularly.Let us afford them no benefit of the doubt; to grant it them is political folly!

  5. Ray, I wasn't commenting on the wisdom of the Republican base's infatuation with Trump, but it's a political fact that we can't ignore. You want a nominee other than Trump? Then I hate to say it, but you better start rooting for the DOJ!
