Victor Davis Hanson: Progressives Bearing Gifts

Trump in 2020 might have controversially slurred his future Democratic rival as a socialist, radical late-term abortion advocate, open borders chauvinist, a Medicare destroyer who wished to make it free for everyone, or wacko environmentalist intent on banning gas and diesel engines.

Now he won’t have to smear anyone: the Democrats have largely done that to themselves. Policy-wise the 2020 choice will be between Trump’s mostly doctrinaire conservatism, spiced with populist trade and immigration agendas, and what is a now a new Democrat orthodoxy of Bernie Sanders’ adolescent socialism and incoherent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Neverland something or other.

Trump legitimately will be able to say of a 2020 opponent, “Candidate X wants over the next 10 years to junk your present car, to scrap your combine, to stop your jet travel, to ban your cruise ship, to take away your lawn mower and snow blower, to outlaw your snowmobiles and jet skis, to shut down the fracking industry, the heavy equipment manufacturing sector (I doubt there will be a replacement battery-powered Cat D-11), the pipeline and rail business, and to make every homeowner an indebted remodeler, refitting his house while for all his green trouble and expense he still will be paying more for solar and wind-generated electricity.

Trump can legitimately also say to an independent or swing voter, “You may not like my tweets, but you will really won’t like infanticide, a 70 percent income tax, a diluted Medicare for everyone including those who have never paid a dime into the system, open borders, and guaranteed incomes for all.”

...an old tape resurfaced in which Biden, ...argued for the desirability of racial segregation and why it had enhanced blacks especially—a goofy statement that only emphasized his existing large corpus of past racialist stupidities, from “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy” to “They’re going to put y’all back in chains”

Biden will pull in the DC liberal 'elite' vote... anywhere else he couldn't be elected dog catcher.

There is no measure of satire in all its forms the liberal command-and-control types cannot exceed, to the point of absurdity.

The temperament of a $#!+-house rat comes to mind.

GREAT CAR.

He just seemed kind of upper crust so I figured he’d go for the more high society car.

TOUGH guy, but I don’t picture him in a Shelby.

Then again, he had BIG ONES to do what he did, so maybe :)

I READ THAT.

I read that he’d sing love songs about his wife in the bathtub and he may well have loved her, but he did play around :)

IT CANNOT BE COINCIDENCE that you saw my post and posted that video :)

You had to look at THAT thread, read MY POST and know of THAT COMMERCIAL!

I smell a miracle!

Cool commercial BTW :)

“...but I don’t picture him in a Shelby....”

Boss 429, then.

Or maybe a MOPAR - 1970 Charger w/440 Hemi.

More headroom interior... for the wig and the big hat... :^)

I’m reverting to teenager mode again with your posts :)

Amazing how fast and easily muscle car talk gets me from 50 to 18 again!!

I LOVE driving my Challenger.

And before that my 350Z (not brutally powerful but fun. I know, I was a traitor buying the Nissan)

And before that my Black Camaro Z28 convertible.

And before that my Firebird :)

And WAYY back some Novas that I paid maybe 300 to 500 bucks for :)

They were so old one had manual steering lol

“The breadth and depth of their insanity...”

... is only exceeded by the gullibility of tens of millions of useful idiots who buy this crap.

That was great...would have been a great super bowl ad...assume it was not.
