Guest Piece by America’s History Teacher, Larry Schweikart Poor old Joe Biden (Demented Biteme, if you follow my Twitter nicknames at @larryschweikart). He already had a weak hand. Heck, he had a hand full of the Bicycle trademark cards it was so bad.
It just got worse.
Rioters (yes folks, it’s a riot when “protestors” burn buildings, hurt people, and chase police out of a precinct) in Minneapolis have now made Trump the “Law and Order” candidate while simultaneously giving him a platform to woo black voters even more. How does that work, you ask?
Trump had already sent the DOJ into the murder investigation of George Floyd before a single Auto Zone was torched. Indeed, not a single major conservative voice dissented from seeing Floyd’s murderer cop prosecuted. Rush Limbaugh called it mindless. “What policy is there anywhere that mandates that kind of treatment of a suspect or prisoner who is totally under control?” The cop simply killed the guy. “There’s no other way to describe what happened.”
President Trump likewise chimed in. “At my request, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already well into an investigation of the very sad and tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd,” and he called for “this investigation to be expedited.” Believe me, if there is a determination that—as it seems—this was murder, Trump will make a White House announcement and look for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, as well as numerous other black leaders, to be present when he does so.
But not only will it be impossible for anyone except from the insane Blind Lemon Don (Don Lemon) or PsychoJoe Scarborough to try to blame Trump, he will be rightly seen as attempting to right a wrong, while at the same time Trump appears to be the only one also supporting the (often black-owned) businesses that are being torched.
This has deep roots in all lawful citizens’ psyche (not just whites’). It is the “Law and Order” moment, akin to what drove large numbers of voters to vote for Richard Nixon in 1968. Perhaps they did not like Tricky Dick, but they knew that the anarchy and lawlessness exploding throughout the country had to end.
Trump now is in a position unimagined just six months ago of attracting not just more black voters than in 2016, but possibly a lot more. Already multiple polls had him swinging between 16% and 22% black approval. However, in all polls, there is a growing number of blacks who “don’t know” or “don’t care” who wins. I submit that most of these do know and care, but they don’t want to say they won’t be voting Democrat. Some 5-8% may stay home in 2020, while Trump will gain at least an additional 3% over his 2016 levels. This means the real black “vote” for Trump will be about 11% plus another 2-4% (i.e., half of the stay-at-home, which equals a half-vote for each candidate). That would put Trump in the 13%–15% range.
But that was before Minneapolis. Remember in 1932 blacks did not vote for Franklin Roosevelt. It took four years of winning them over. The same, I suspect, is true for Trump. The 2020 election may be his “1936″ moment.
Is there other evidence for this? Absolutely.
The most important evidence comes from the low numbers of blacks who support Demented Biteme. One poll had the number at 84%, another at only 74%!! Now, before you say, “Schweikart, that’s a lot,” remember that in 2016 Hillary Clinton lost carrying 88% of the black vote. Please tell me how Biden wins carrying between 4 and 14% less.
The most interesting thing about the impending DemSaster is that it seems inevitable. They can’t replace Demented Biteme. (If they could, you would never see polls showing Biteme defeating Trump. Quite the contrary, they would show him as weak, and needing to be replaced). No matter who Biteme picks as his veep candidate, he’s finished. How do I know this?
Because no one wants to be his veep, even though most suspect they would be elevated to the POTUS job before Demented Biteme could locate his teeth. Even with that, no one wants to be associated with a sure loser.
Meanwhile, the country is opening up, the economy even looks like may roar back. Americans’ savings levels were 33% higher in March, as I predicted. (With stores and entertainment closed, there was nothing to spend money on). Once unleashed, Americans are going to go on a buying spree.
The DemPanic is over. The DemSaster is about to begin.

That is all.
All I can say is: I like our chances this election season.
Courtesy ping.
Larry is a great resource but beyond polls my biggest concern is voter fraud. DJTs election was a long shot, his re-election will be a borderline miracle. That said, work, work, work to register Trump voters.
If I was a Dem I think I’d write this election off. Dems got nobody and nothing to offer. And now blue cities everywhere imploding.
I’m waiting for our resident trolls to show up and say...
no, no Trump has already lost this thing.
It’s all about the voter fraud and Big Tech search and social media manipulation. Last time the Dems thought they jad enough of both for easy victory. This time they are ramping both up on steroids.
Who wants to be second banana in the Geraldine Ferraro retirement home and trivia question warehouse?
If Biden had a chance you would have half the Democratic party looking to place their hand on the 25th amendment to swear the vice presidential oath.
The commies are desperately pushing an all-mail fraudulent election. They’re even talking about being allowed to ‘count’ the votes days after Election Day. That means ‘finding’ votes after the fact.
Republicans should never let that happen this election or any future election.
Yet another reason I'd like to see President Dr. Trump point out that these examples of racism and police brutality of blacks primarily take place in demonicRAT controlled and dominated cities.
If Biden had a chance you would have half the Democratic party looking to place their hand on the 25th amendment to swear the vice presidential oath.
Good Point
As people say here,"From your lips to God's Ear"!
Trump is the Next Week President. The news always looks really bad for him this week, but give him a few days and he ends up the winner of the news cycle, again and again.
When the fires of the cities grow cold and the protesters return to their mothers basement, Trump will show leadership again.
I think Trump will show leadership now. People want order and he will give it to them. This is not the OJ case and pretty much the entire country was horrified by the video of that arrest including Trump.
VDH is great, Larry is better. Just sayin’.
Not even close. One is an intellectual and a scholar.
And one is LS.
One effectively reaches a mass audience.
Look, I love VDH, both have their place. But the above is key in our time.
