Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
The Democrat field is starting to narrow as some of the biggest losers drop out in humiliating failure. The flatulent, pro-nuke Eric Swalwell is gone. Whichever Castro bro was in just quit. And that hapless furry Beto is off selling autographs on the weirdo convention circuit dressed as a cartoon fox named “Yiffy.”
The ones still in the race are even more pathetic.
Here are my thoughts on where the race is now. In the general, it’s Trump’s to lose. Between a sprinting economy and a staggering Democrat field, he’s the odds-on favorite in the general. But the real election issue is not going to be his past achievements. Trump’s achievements are now baked into the pie – those who dig him assume them and those who hate him don’t care how good he’s doing. They want him gone even if he takes the economy and America’s newfound standing in the world as Earth’s Rebel Badboy with him.
The deciding factor is going to be personality, and Trump has the advantage because he has one. The question is going to be, “Who does America trust not to screw up all the repairs that Trump has made to America post-Barack Obama?”
The answer is going to be, “Not one of those quasi-commie Democrat dorks.”
There are six real candidates – sorry Yangbangers and Tulsi-touters, but those two are not in the mix.
There’s Biden. What a putz. From his bizarre behavior to his brazen demand that we just accept the manifest corruption of his boy Lil’ Crackpipe, Gropey Joe is not merely of the Swamp. He is the Swamp. And there’s no reason to believe Trump won’t drain him.
Right now, he’s the leader in the polls and he’s the most likely to be nominated. There are two reasons. The first is that he has legacy black Democrat support. He’s the closest to a traditional Democrat, as opposed to one of the faculty lounge snobs that makes up most of the rest of the race. The second is that he has been designated The Democrat Most Likely To Succeed in beating The Donald. It’s unclear why. Sure, some polls say it (though they are shifting in Trump’s direction), but the problem for Joe is that so many liberal media types are wishcasting his victory that they never hit him hard.
He’s soft and open to attack. Not-Mrs. Willie Brown gently tapped him in a debate (on busing, which is very, very popular among rich Democrats whose kids would never, ever be bused in a zillion years) and Not-Senile Joe went into a tailspin. He’s vulnerable because he’s been coddled – Trump will bash Hoover Biden’s dad all over the stage, as Trump feels no obligation not to talk about the subjects that the media has deemed off-limits, like the ex-senator’s (D-Credit Card Companies) Snortunate Son.
And he’ll pick Amy Klobuchar as his running mate. She’s another one who the Democrats imagine can reach out and touch the working-class folks who went for Trump. Of course, she’ll reach out and touch them with a rock – she’s got a temper and she’ll get pilloried as a tyrant. Tyrannical women are a hard sell – just ask Stumbles McMyturn. Sure, the media has announced that she is “having her moment,” but moments stop. She’s neither interesting nor inspirational, and the very moderation she allegedly represents (she doesn’t – she’s on-board with every pinko policy her pals subscribe to) will keep her from breaking out as a candidate and depress the turn-out among the Dem left (but I repeat myself) when she’s on the ticket with Biden.
[Fun Fact: The amazing Michael Malice thinks Biden may choose Kyrsten Sinema, but that’s a smart and savvy move so we need not worry about it happening.]
Then there’s Chief Spewing Bull. Her own brother recently dissed her for inventing more fake family history. Trump would chew her up, spit her out, and wash the residue into the gutter. Where’s the enthusiasm for a serial fraud who compares poorly to every bitter spinster public elementary school teacher who either demanded you use your inside voice or tried to make her class celebrate Kwanza? Maybe at Harvard or The New York Times offices, and nowhere else. She sadly won’t get nominated, because she’s such a disaster Trump might get 45 states, and Biden won’t pick her as veep because he knows she’s going to be scheming and drape-measuring every time she visits the Oval Office, and the budget does not include a presidential food taster.
Maybe Bernie Sanders will get it – which would be great because then all the nimrods who pushed the phony dossier would have to concede that they were going to vote for the one candidate we absolutely know has had sex in Russia – shiver. Yeah, he had his honeymoon in the old Soviet Union, and to people who aren’t college professors or college students or aspiring college students, that’s a disqualifier. He’s a loser, and what will be great is how the Dem bigwigs try to explain to the harder left contingent why their crusty curmudgeon is getting dissed again in the primaries.
Pete Buttigieg…why? Why is he even part of this? He’s a sub-par mayor of a sub-par town in a state most Democrats have never even heard of. Really, if he’s the one the Dems are looking to for salvation – oh yeah, he says he’s a Christian too, incessantly – then they’re pretty hosed already. His candidacy will soon Pete-r out.
Though maybe Biden will pick him for VP – if so, I’ve got $10 that says Smart Joe will get caught on tape at a rally explaining to disappointed feminists that, “Well, a gay guy counts as a woman, right?” You know that will totally happen.
And tiny Michael Bloomberg’s zillion-dollar ad budget has captured him…fifth or sixth place. Fascist Frodo’s not going anywhere. He’s already lost.
So, the smart money is on the dumb bunny, Wandering Paws Joe. And Trump will annihilate him – all the cover the garbage media has provided him will only serve to keep him weak and vulnerable for when Trump lays into him. And if you think Biden’s got a real shot in November, well, Hunter wants his Columbia Fun Dust back.
And speaking of liberal losers, my newest novel Collapse (along with other entries in the series, People’s Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire) look at what would happen if they win and take over at least part of America. The Never Trumps call my books “appalling,” so they have that going for them!

There’s still time for walking dead Hillary to stumble into the race, or maybe tranny Mike. Regardless of the candidate they end up with, I can’t see the dems winning unless they are able to pull off an amazing amount of voter fraud, far exceeding whatever they managed to do last time.
Make no mistake, the voter fraud and cheating in 2020 will be EPIC. Dems didn’t get caught in 2016 and held to account so they will feel even more emboldened than ever in 2020… Chip
Just based on the attendance at the rallies for Trump and Clinton, it was obvious that the vote totals shouldn’t be remotely close. Clinton couldn’t even fill up high school gymnasiums while Trump was filling NBA arenas, with thousands more watching outside.
Big Mike 2020!
The rats will be smarter this time around-they may be idiots but they are not stupid.
A “last minute” candidate will start getting public exposure and some traction a little before the rats nominate; we’ll go with the much used term “brokered convention”. There are not enough new books that hil and Webb’s daughter can have ghost written that can ever put hil in that spot again. Big Mike? Could be-there are plenty of (mostly female) voters who idolize her. There has to be some female out there who would have a better shot at it as a surprise candidate, but just don’t know who, nor do I care.
Their antics will get more and more desperate-the Billy Bush tape really was sophomoric and Trump’s base could not have cared less about the feigned outrage, especially after WJC getting blow jobs in the Oval Office. Expect something big, something significant being staged at just the right time to cut into Trump’s support-think the economy, a war, or some new personal outrage about Trump. Have not a clue what it will be, but can almost feel it coming. And, Nancy and her two amigos will not be in charge of that scheme, whatever it is.
Personally-and for the fun factor-I’d like to see Groping Joe be their man-the crooked old goat will wither from the heat of the first debate and will be burnt toast shortly thereafter.
Going to be interesting.
The DNC and the debate people have done a Bernie Sanders on Yang. it’s very obvious they are doing whatever they can to brush Yang off. Bernie seems to be leading poles. I don’t get what people see in an old Communist. Trump will win again.
“I don’t get what people see in an old Communist.”
they see free stuff.
Chuckle. With the Dem’s already have shown to use Superdelegates to bring anyone the party chooses to the party, the current line-up is irrelevant.
Also, never forget the mantra “it’s the Economy, stupid”, during an election year. A stock market crash would hurt Trump bigtime and allow an opening to a “fresh face” from the Demoncraps. Restupidans shouldn’t count their chickens before they hatch. Lots of cards still on the table, for this game.
Never, ever underestimate the ability of the republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
First of all, you’re fooling yourself if you think Joe is going to have any say in who his VP is.
His VP will be selected for him and will be a radical leftist that will actually
be the de facto president while Joe is relegated to staged photo ops and rehearsed interviews along with an occasional state dinner for some greasy rat leader of a shithole nation with his hand out.
the gapped toothed georgian negress…..
Yes ! Please !!
I think the dems are counting on Trump winning this year and will use the ensuing 4 years to bash him even harder. In the meantime, Big Mike will continue to make millions and enhance his standing with progressives, insuring his nomination in ’24. He can even promise to appoint his husband to SCOTUS when they expand the court.
Actually with the demographic shift, rampant Democrat election fraud, extreme media bias, etc. this election is for the Democrats to lose. The absolute fact that the DNC can’t seem to find a competent, rational, viable candidate from the entire nation is very clear evidence that the string pullers are happy with Trump’s performance.
“The absolute fact that the DNC can’t seem to find a competent, rational, viable candidate from the entire nation is very clear evidence that the string pullers are happy with Trump’s performance.”
the fact that the dnc can’t find a competent et al candidate is simply a result of leftist beliefs and morals and practices. what we see on their stage really is the best they have.
I don’t believe that, take Jim Webb as an example. There’s bound to be scores of other blue dog democrats hiding out.
“take Jim Webb as an example”
like kennedy or truman, he would never succeed in a modern democrat primary. they don’t want people like him anymore. what the dnc has on the stage is the best that the dnc and democrat voters can imagine and wish for.
Well, they nominated Bill Clinton and the “universally loved magic negro.” My point is they *know* how to win, and it’s there sitting on a silver platter for them. Granted Bill was almost 30 years ago. OK, I’ll concede the point that the failure of the DNC to field a viable candidate could be caused by several reasons, including adherence to dogma over the desire for victory.
“including adherence to dogma over the desire for victory”
more exactly it’s a generational change. aoc is the biggest example of that. she (and her snowflake generation) grew up believing with all her heart what inspired woke avant-garde people like pelosi told her – then aoc gets to congress and finds that pelosi is just a power-monger. the aoc ‘s see the pelosi’s as part of the reason why their happy cloud-coo-coo-land world hasn’t been achieved yet, and the aoc’s are replacing the pelosi’s, and the tipping point has arrived.
Selected NOT elected. Installing a socialist next time is what the script is calling for, I just hope it is not Peter Upthebutt.
“The deciding factor is going to be …”
… leftist voter fraud. I predict trump “loses”.
“They want him gone even if he takes the economy and America’s newfound standing in the world as Earth’s Rebel Badboy with him.”
incorrect. they want him gone precisely because that will take the u.s. economy and america’s standing down.
There is a term that perfectly describes the field of Democratic Presidential Candidates.
Ass Clown Circus. Simply refer to them as the ACC.
Stacey Abrams and Mayor Pete- I know they could fix what ails this country! (sarcasm)
Free pancakes and fanny sex.
