Well… in all likelihood, the Tangerine / Vance ticket just… lost 2024 — in a landslide.
Mr. Biden has handed the mantle to Kamala Harris. We will see the first woman of color President in US history, come November.
The notion that the remaining undecideds will choose a convicted 34-time felon — who has $500 million in fraud judgments tacked to his name — over a very bright, street fighting debater about only two thirds his age… is simply not credible — regardless of color or gender. Tangerine just became the mean ole’ pop pop he’s been demonizing.
My first prediction is he will claim his bone-spurs have flared up, and he cannot debate her later in the cycle, or ever. If he shows up, she will mop the floor with his awful toupee.
So John’s charts are now meaningless, except that they do accurately reveal how poorly Trump will do in swing states — against a vibrant younger opponent: he cannot win in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania or Arizona now. Probably not in Nevada, either.
He’s done — if our nominee is Kamala Harris.
But Hinderaker had this much right — pre- the Biden news of the day… even if he’s two paragraphs behind what’s known, as I say:
…If the Democrats nominate someone else — I think it almost has to be Kamala Harris, although some disagree — he could be in trouble. It is true that she is a lousy candidate, but compared to Joe Biden? I think a fair number of Democratic and swing voters would move her way, making the election
too close to call[Nope, a landslide for the Democratic Party. It is now hers to walk away with]….
Onward — grinning. John got what he wished for — now he has a geriatric crook at the top of his ticket.
See ya’ in the funny papers, son.
[What the GOP oppo machine did to Joe is awful. But it is already time to move forward swiftly — this election is too important to do otherwise. Out.]
