Who Wins Elections for the Democrats? Try Trump.

When I was a kid, the week after Labor Day was the World Series and the week after that, every other year was when the political season began. That was then, this is now. And now the digital political season never stops and never begins. It goes on all the time.

Of course, we didn’t have the internet in the 1950’s, we also didn’t have 24-hour TV news. And we didn’t get anything even remotely resembling social media until the end of the 1990’s, with Facebook first appearing in 2005 and Twitter first being used in 2008.

The first 2024 primary contest will be held in Iowa on January 15, but you would think that the GOP primary campaign has been running for most of this past year. That’s because we have an incumbent President seeking a second term, so nobody’s really paying attention to the Democrat(ic) side. And for all the talk about Joe being senile, or not ready to run again, I’ll take the short odds on a Franklin against anyone who thinks he won’t be heading up the blue ticket on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Meanwhile, the Fake News continues to wax eloquent over the strength of Trump’s so-called base, not only referring to his ‘huge’ lead in the polls, but finding that the belief of a rigged election is still strong, particularly among GOP primary voters in the more conservative states.
