Sorry, Democrats: Party's Over

There is something deeply satisfying about watching the ironically named Democratic Party consume itself at every turn. I have tried to summon up some human pity for the carnage -- but frankly I just can’t.

If Joe Biden weren’t a corrupt, crude, shallow, self-righteous fondler of people’s children I could probably muster some sympathy for him. There he stands behind the bright blue podium, almost dizzy under the lights, recounting past accomplishments no one ever heard of. He is a creature beyond his time -- a sad figure who has made the subtle crossover from predictable dishonesty into agonized dementia. But Joe is a corrupt, crude, shallow, self-righteous fondler of people’s children. His dementia only makes his ugly nature more apparent. I think they park him next to Bernie mainly to ensure he doesn’t shamble over and sniff Amy Klobuchar’s hair. Joe has fallen in the polls and he can’t get up.

The days of formidable Democratic villains like Slick Willie have ebbed away. Only the narcissism and the dishonesty linger in the air, a 1960s protest song played over and over until nothing is left of the record but an inhuman scratchy hiss. Barack Obama, the last gasp of this mendacious breed, seems largely content to wade in the surf outside his Martha’s Vineyard home. He’s secure in the knowledge that the sea will never actually rise to swallow him and the impetus to prosecute him will probably never actually rise to the necessary priority either. History may drown him after his death, but he is bound to find sycophants enough to worship him until then. The Party’s bottle was sweet while it lasted -- but it has now been drained to the bitterest of dregs.

“... a Christian Democrat is an oxymoron as well as is a Pro-Abortion proclaiming Christian of either party.”

So true.

Long-held opinions/alliances that reflect upon ourselves are hard to let go of after learning we are wrong.

Cognitive dissonance usually sets in. “I know in my heart I’m wrong, but I can’t admit it...no no no no no....”

Kudos to a very fun read. Caution though - don’t plan a funeral for the DemRats. There’s way, way too many of moron voters, leftist hacks and negative people who hate goodness and light. President Trump isn’t taking anything for granted and neither should we. Passionate vigilance as we are soldiers in this fight.

Biden is exhibiting widespread frontal release signs and organicity, He is clearly becoming demented, and his family need to be gently, but firmly, guiding him to a simpler existence. Keeping him in the can pain is just cruel

...So ask yourself, why isn’t the GOP breaking records and signing up millions of new voters in the face of the compete meltdown of the only opposing party? Why?

Because Trump is not a Republican either. I’m still not sure what he is

You are preaching to the choir, in my case. Voter Fraud and Ballot Tampering (Harvesting) is the stock in trade of these Commies. They know full well that if they are not lying, cheating and stealing votes, they will be reduced to total irrelevance on the national scene. I put nothing at all past these subversives and traitors when it comes to what they will do to completely undermine the idea of “One Man, One Vote”. These people are evil, vile and beyond any redeeming qualities whatsoever.

See my tag line.

The Republican question of the decade.

IMO because most R’s aren’t Christian Conservative Patriots, but GOPe Unipartyists. They can’t speak the things that attract CCP Trump supporters without vomiting a little in their mouths.

Only Trump is speaking our message, and it’s ignored by the MSM and typical social websites.

If SC has some faith in Trump and in 4 years from now things might be so much better that minorities won’t need to abort their children.

He ran a a pro American worker, closed border Nationalist. That is what the GOP SHOULD BE TOO. the GOP needs to drop the globalism crap.

The reality is the GOP would rather be a minority globalist Free Traitor™ Party than a majority pro worker nationalist party. They are waiting out trump.

It’s not the Democratic Party. It is the Democrat Party and its members are Democrats, not Democratics.

Heart-warming piece. Six months ago I was saying, "Be patient, there's plenty of time for a genuine candidate to emerge." Well, time's up. This is what they came up with: a geriatric Trotskyite, a geriatric minority LARPing con artist, a small-city mayor whose claim to fame is boffing his boyfriend, two geriatric billionaires stuffing The Right People's pockets hoping that they are, in fact, the Right People - they aren't - a feminist veteran who has managed to leverage those assets into a future "who was" Jeopardy answer, and...drum roll...and Joe. Joe, whose 51 years of "service" have somehow resulted in wealth beyond the dreams of the lunchbox carrying workers who put him there, whose 46 years of federal "service" have somehow absolved him from blame for whatever mess he says we're in, Joe, who looked like a lost lamb at the debates last night bleating, "What is this place? Why is everybody yelling?"

Well, there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip and November is a long way away but I like Trump's chances. Give him the House and let the bodies fly.
