Is the 2024 Presidential Campaign Over and Done?

If it weren’t for the daily attempt by Fake News to keep the 2024 election alive so that some of their advertisers will continue to run their ads, the contest is already buried and dead. How else do you explain the fact that Trump has opened a 30-point lead in the polls over his nearest competitor which will set him up to become the first nominee of a major political party to lose the popular Presidential vote three times?

That’s right. For all the talk about Joe’s lack of stamina, Joe’s dementia, Joe’s lousy poll numbers among registered Democrats, blah, blah, blah, and blah, when the chips are down next year the Democrats will come together as they always come together and hand Joe another win.

The truth is that the GOP has never felt all that comfortable with the idea of a government whose leadership is chosen through a popular vote. Have you ever been invited to a GOP-sponsored voter registration event?

Trump had no choice but to make a big deal out of the primary campaign in 2016 because he wasn’t known except by people who watched reality-TV and most of the GOP leadership didn’t feel comfortable with him anyway. I love, for example, how Billy Kristol is still trying to short-circuit Trump. Wasn’t it Kristol who gave us Sarah Palin in 2008?
