2020 is going to be fun.
Well, not so much for Democrats, perhaps. But the rest of us are going to enjoy
it.
I can’t wait for the 2020 campaigns to begin. Especially for
President.
As I’ve said before, the ads practically write
themselves.
Democrats will focus on what a mean man Trump is – all the
hurtful things he’s said and tweeted, how he’s mocked the disabled and even the
dead, how he’s made fun of women, and how he’s insulted other world leaders,
Democrats in Congress, and career civil servants. They’ll say he’s morally unworthy to hold the
office of President and has made a mockery of our democracy – that’s why he’s
only the third President in our history to be impeached.
They’ll say we Democrats impeached him for you. And to
protect the Constitution. And to preserve the rule of law. And democracy. And for your children, and your
children’s children. And for
civilization. And for the future of the planet Earth. You’re welcome,
America.
Yep, they’ll go there. Trump’s an existential threat to
everyone on Earth. Got it?
But mostly Democrats will remind everybody what we all know. Trump is not a nice
man. He’s rude, he’s crude, he swears, and
he has a temper. When he gets pissed, or
thinks he’s getting treated unfairly, he lashes out. He says mean things about
people – living or dead – he doesn’t like.
He belittles them publicly. Calls
them names. It makes no difference who they are or how famous they may be. Nor,
for that matter, their age, sex, race, nationality, or whatever.
Or even whether they could fog a mirror anymore.
That’s not news to anybody.
In fact, that’s all why many of his supporters love him. A lot of ordinary Americans are tired of
leaders – especially Republican establishment types – that have for years
failed to fight back against cheap shots and low blows from Democrats and the
media.
Finally, in Trump, they have a leader not afraid to punch
back with equal or greater force when he’s attacked. It’s not always pretty, and it’s often ugly,
but it sends a clear message to political elites in both parties, and the
media, his supporters are not going to take it anymore. As Michael Moore put it succinctly, electing
Trump was giving a giant middle finger to the establishment.
Democrats will focus almost exclusively on Orange Man
Bad.
Republicans will counter with a classic us-versus-them
campaign. They’ll paint the Democrat
Party as angry, crazy people obsessed with regaining power whatever the cost to
the country’s economic interests, national security, and working people.
They'll also hit his accomplishments, which are many, despite Democrats' hatred.
The top-line message is simple: Democrats = irrational
hatred, not just of Trump but anyone who voted for him. We got a preview of
this with Trump’s recent take on the Uncle Sam poster, which said: In reality, they’re not after me. They’re
after you. I’m just in the way. That’s powerful and on point with his
supporters.
To prove Democrats’ irrational hatred, all Republicans have
to do is play the videos, using Democrats’ own words against them.
Que up Rashida Talib. Ilhan Omar. Auntie Maxine. Adam Schiff. AOC. Joy Behar. And of course, Robert di Niro,
and countless other hate-spewing politicians, celebrities, and deep-state
types.
I hope they’ll also bring back the “deplorables” clip by
Hillary. It would be nice if they also had the Strozk e-mail about going to Walmart
and how he could “smell” the Trump supporters.
The Kavanaugh hearings will give them more material of how
far and how low Democrats are willing to go to destroy anyone in their quest to
maintain power.
Their most powerful treasure trove will be the
impeachment hearings in the House. There’s no better example of how Democrats will misuse any power, how much they
will lie and fabricate things and break all the rules – even the ones they’ve
created themselves – to get their way.
And simply to hurt Trump.
It’s going to be easy to demonstrate that Democrats are far
too irresponsible, far too irrational, and far too unethical to hold the reins
of power. That’s going to leave a mark on every Democrat in office now, and anyone
planning to run as a Democrat in 2020. Including all the new Democrats elected from
Trump-leaning districts as moderates in 2018 – any Republicans running against
them just have to pull out clips from these “moderates” who campaigned on not
running to impeach Trump.
Then show them voting to impeach him anyway. Slam dunk.
Oh, one other point: Democrats are already talking about
impeaching Trump again and again if he gets re-elected. To do that, they need to hold the House in
2020. For a voting public already
suffering from impeachment fatigue, that’s another great reason to help
Republicans retake the House. Do
Democrats really think the promise of more impeachments is a winning
strategy?
You’ll notice I’m not even discussing the Democrats running for
the Oval Office in 2020. That’s because they are simply too crazy and unhinged to
be taken seriously at this point. It’s hard not to bust out laughing at the
things they are promising as they trample each other in a mad rush to prove
they are more detached from reality than their competitors.
And as for Uncle Joe … he’s an idiot. It’s embarrassing to watch him. He’s the old coot at the senior-center bingo
night who keeps calling out “Bingo!” before they even call out the first
number. The one who uses words like “malarkey”
and challenges other geezers to push up contests, or a fist fight. The one who calls women “gals,” puts his
hands on them, and tells them they smell good.
He repeats the same stories over and over – and they’re usually stories that
seem somewhat creepy.
If Democrats had any compassion, they’d get him off the
stage. Right now, it’s elder abuse to let Joe keep going and going. He hasn’t
got a prayer.
For that matter, none of the other Democrat candidates do, either.
So maybe Hillary will jump in at the end as the self-appointed savior for
Democrats. I can only hope.
That would make 2020 even more fun.
