At the RNC convention, Trump recounts the assassination attempt and talks about his feeling of serenity as the bullets flew, while the mass of toadies eating it up is moved to heil Hitler.
And it’s sounding more like Joe Biden is on his way out.
I hope the Dems know what they’re doing. They have to be looking at poll numbers, doing the math, looking at the calendar, reaching consensus on who the replacement will be. A ticket change seems almost inevitable at this point, but also rash and panicky and ill-advised. The pressure will be on when the DNC meets in Chicago in a month.
Trump is beginning to seem like the sure thing, sadly, at least at the moment. If this actually happens, I hope someone is able to get to the bottom of how it’s happening and who’s involved. Billionaires, heads of state in certain eastern bloc countries and Iran, a crack team of hackers—all the usual suspects, I suppose.
This is getting crazy (duh). If Trump prevails, things are not going to be OK. He’s not a changed man. He’s not even a good man, or a reasonable one. He’s just been handed a lifeline, God knows why (if God knows anything). He’s not a savior, he’s not a hero. He’s just a crook riding a wave, perfectly OK with his own incompetence and deceit, probably orchestrating still more election interference we’ll find out about after the fact, perfectly OK with spreading ugliness and rumors and playing dirty if it helps him “win.”
I’ll never understand what people saw in him. It’s beyond a mystery, destined to become a tragedy, played out over another four years. Or more.
Unless the Dems can avoid self-immolation and get their act together.
