The President, The Senate, The House in 2020
A Democracy cannot be organized. Democracy is run by majority. But, a constrained majority here in America. There are states, each with their own voting rules. There is an Electoral College.
The President, The Senate, The House in 2020
A Democracy cannot be organized. Democracy is run by majority. But, a constrained majority here in America. There are states, each with their own voting rules. There is an Electoral College.
2) Laughably, we now have Kanye West announcing his run for President. He has no chance, and therefore, his run is motivated by some other purpose. No matter what, he won't be president. His purpose matters not. The choice, the real choice is between Trump and Biden.
3) Let's imagine a Biden presidency. He clearly has dementia. He has never been anything other than a second tier politician and was a fine VP to Obama. His corruption was obvious, but essentially immaterial. His son runs investment funds with billions from China.
4) A Biden presidency is, therefore, nothing but the Democrat Party's real power brokers holding an office with a face and a name, a figurehead, pure and simple. Biden is no one. Who may he select as his VP? Any black female Democrat will do, and she will be somebody.
5) In a Biden presidency, the VP will be, for the first time in American history, the real actor. Of course, she won't actually run things, her bosses will. Precisely as they did during the Obama administration, and Bush 43 before. The bosses run the show. We don't know them.
6) If Trump loses here in 2020, the bosses will be happy again. Happy days. It will be a return to the good old days of silent voters not knowing what's going on. Whoever they are, the bosses benefit from shipping factories and jobs to China. To Mexico. Abroad.
7) They call it free trade. It is a definitive hallmark of "conservatism." We have to remember this, heading into our election 2020. Free trade simply means companies outside America don't pay the same taxes that companies here pay. They face no tariff. Their product is free.
8) The higher that American taxes are, the more benefit that these companies enjoy. You don't just whittle out America's factories - in the tens of thousands - by chance. You do it by law. You do it by taxation, and non-taxation. It was the bosses who did this. They're not happy.
9) A Biden presidency will certainly raise taxes, as long as the House and Senate are his. Currently, the House is Democrat. Will the Senate turn Democrat in 2020? If the House is kept and the Senate turns, a Biden presidency will send factories back to China. Be clear on that.
10) The line draws deeper. We didn't realize it, but America Herself has been under vicious, evil attack for at least 100 years. We slept while our Constitution was shredded, our Declaration destroyed. Not just we. Me. I slept. I didn't believe in voting. I didn't vote.
11) Will I vote in 2020? Yes. Who for? Trump. Who should win? Trump. Who will win...
I'm not sure. Right now, I've got Trump at 70% in my heart. I have no data to support that yet. I will get the data.
How do I identify? As a Republican leaning Independent.

12) I hate the Republican Party. I do not hate the Democrat Party, I merely pity it. I think its time is up. I don't think the Democrat Party will stand much longer. It will fall. A new center-left Party needs to rise to take its place. If Trump wins a second term that may occur.
13) Why do I hate the Republican Party? At its simplest, because I can't force myself to join it. If you have any question about that, check out this story: https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article243939577.html
14) Who leads the quest to win back the House? Perhaps it's Trump. Maybe. But his task is to win a second term. He can't give his all to winning back the House. He has to give his all to winning his own seat in the Oval Office. Do you believe in Kevin McCarthy?
15) I like McCarthy. I do. But I do not believe in him. I do not believe his sole mission in life, right now, is to win back the House in 2020. He'll be just fine as the minority leader, again, assuming the House stays Democrat. He doesn't have the fury and the passion to win.
16) And then there's Mitch. He has a 3-seat advantage right now, but has many seats under contest. Will we keep the Senate? We, being Republicans. Damn, I wish I could join the Party. I am a Virginian. My guy, Dan Gade. He won't win against Mark Warner. No chance.
17) Will we hold the Senate? Will we take back the House? Right now, the answer is no answer. No Clue. If we have to guess, not likely. We'll likely lose the Senate, even if we keep the Oval Office. That's not my call. It's just what's likely right now as far as I can see it.
18) Picture that. Picture a Democrat Senate, a Democrat House, and Trump's second term. He'll be impeached within weeks. And this time, he'll be convicted. That means President Pence. And Pence with his Congress against him. You must imagine that. You must.
19) If I have a single most important principle, it is this. Victory. I believe in winning. I believe in fighting for victory. So, I want to win back the House. I want not only to keep the Senate, but to improve the number of MAGA Senators. I believe in winning.
20) In order to win, you must be able to walk through your worst case scenario. My worst case is NOT a Biden victory. It is a Trump victory with a Senate shift from Republican to Democrat, while the House is held by the Democrats. Congress against him, Trump will be ejected.
21) Many Flynn supporters will say, Pence allowed Flynn to go down. I know. I was there. I have problems with Pence over Flynn. I do. But, I am NOT against a Pence presidency. Trump impeached, Pence in, I'm okay with that. I am. It's weird, I know, but possible.
22) What I am absolutely NOT okay with is this. I am not okay with a Democrat House. I am NOT okay with a Democrat Senate. Funny enough, I am okay with a Biden presidency. Trump doesn't have to win. I hope he does. But Congress is the key.
23) Imagine it the other way. Imagine we take back the House. Imagine we hold the Senate. And imagine a Biden presidency facing a Republican Congress. What will he achieve? Well, he might achieve a lot, if Republicans give up the show.
24) MAGA is more than just the creation of @realDonaldTrump. MAGA is the re-awakening of America Herself. Now, imagine a Biden presidency facing a MAGA controlled House and Senate. He'd achieve absolutely nothing. Not one thing. Nothing.
25) Who are you? Will you vote? Who for? Do you see, do you follow? Nothing matters more than who you vote for, if you will vote. Sure, there's Trump. But, what about your Senator? What about your House Representative? Who will you vote for, assuming you vote at all?
26) Tweedle Dee vs Tweedle Dum. That's what I thought voting was. I didn't believe in this Party vs that. I was right. When it is them vs them it didn't matter who I might have voted for. They were all anti-Americans. Shame on them. Bush 41 vs Dukakis. Tweedle Dee vs Tweedle Dum.
27) Maybe it was 1998 or so. I met Dukakis in person, I did. I like him. He's a nice guy. He's a smart guy. He's - and this is what matters - a happy guy. He did not need to win. He ran. That was enough. His masters were just as fine with Bush 41 as they'd have been with him.
28) You matter. Your vote counts. Literally. In every way. Will you vote? I hope so. Who for? I hope for Trump for president. But, what about your House representative or your Senator? Much as I detest them, I hope you'll vote Republican.
29) I hate him, but I will vote for Dan Gade. I really do hate him. Seriously. But, and I know it won't matter, I'll still vote for him against Mark Warner. Warner will win. My vote won't change that. I am impotent against the Democrat Party's hold over my state. So it goes.
30) But I will show up. I will comfort myself with that. My vote will be counted, even if not effective. Alas. And I will vote for Trump. Besides, who knows? Maybe Trump will win all round. Maybe he'll win back the House. Maybe he'll keep the Senate. And then, who knows?
