Outside of diehard Trump supporters and desperate Harris
supporters, most people in this country are starting to realize neither
candidate really doesn’t know what to do.
And political pundits to comedians are starting to call them
out on this scary fact. Most people talk about the economic policies, yet I don’t
think either has a plan for Iran except hope Israel finds a way to crawl out of
it’s quagmire.
And many people in this country really didn’t want Biden v. Trump
round 2, but that was what we were headed for until Biden stood on national TV
and had the most momentous cognitive collapse possible for someone on a public
stage. I am on record saying if either party chooses someone else over the two
old guys that person would win in a landslide, well I guess I was wrong since
Harris is barely hanging on.
People are still struggling and unfortunately Biden now
Harris gets blamed, but it isn’t all their fault, but right now neither Harris
nor Trump have a realistic plan for the mass majority of this country no matter
their party affiliation.
And an even more bonkers problem is most Americans would
vote for a Republican even though it goes completely against their interest. To
this day I have no idea why so many people in the middle class think the
Republican Party thinks positively about them. They have been wealth and big
business for decades and have made no bones about it. None! Yet so many people
wanting to be popular in the country club and PTA back their own financial downfall.
Sure a few of these people are successful, but take a way their profession and
they would be sucking eggs. The entire platform for Republicans has been to give
to the rich and let the rest figure it out. And again people would stand in
line to vote for a valid any valid Republican candidate not named Trump against
Harris. She would be swamped similar to a Nixon McGovern rematch.
And what is worse is the Democrats have been surviving on
dynamic personalities for decades, not what the public believes in going back
to Kennedy, (won by a hair), Clinton who was a big hit with the ladies for some
reason and then Obama. And to be fair to Clinton, he did sound convincing when
he told Bush the elder, it’s the economy stupid and most Americans agreed since
we were in a mild recession at the time.
Now we are teetering on some really unknown financial circumstances
that could go either way. We actually could crawl out of the inflation madness
and with interest rate cuts keep growth alive for a while. Or the middle east
war ramps up and Putin does something even crazier than attacking Ukraine and
all hades breaks loose.
And many Americans know deep down that neither candidate is
the best possible answer for another pandemic style disaster.
So you have a woman that hasn’t proven her meddle yet and Trump
who some people believe whole heartedly would solve all our problems just by
being Trump versus many other Americans who know giving Trump the keys to the
kingdom is flushing them down the toilet and into the swamp called Washington
D.C. and who knows what other septic tank is lying around.
So we are either a close race to the wire, or a mild flub by
either candidate could tilt the election so fast most of our heads would spin. Trump
is just one very public cognitive hiccup (and I don’t mean his usual vitriol)
away from sending every Republican looking for cover and Harris is just one
statement away from completely losing everyone’s confidence she can do anything.
And by the last paragraph you are realizing we are avoiding
negatives not looking to vote FOR someone. Outside of the Trump acolytes (my
apologies to Disney) who are voting for Trump even though for all the wrong
reasons, when was the last time you voted for someone with desire or purpose or
faith or confidence. Stop, be honest, you just haven’t have you. For decades
now, it has been the lesser or two evils, or towing the party line, or well we
could do worse instead of saying man I want this person. A few people will
still remember the Obama feel good moment, but he was going against H. Clinton
in the primaries who people never liked and an economic disaster attributed to
the Republicans in the general election. Our saving grace was he is intelligent
so he was able to ride the interest rate cuts the rich took and ran with since
they were the only ones with money, but it did trickle down to consumers over
time and he left an economy that Trump ran with and took full credit for even
though he did absolutely squat to get us there. The tax cuts were just gravy
for rich people, not a real economic growth generator.
And after all this time the Democrats have no strong
candidates waiting in the wings and the Republicans squandered all theirs with
the Trump obsession. How many people truly believe, Vance or DeSantis or Hawley
or Cotton is going to carry the Trump acolytes in the future? The blew Haley
away, they passed gas on L. Cheney and Kinzinger, never liked Christie to begin
with, Romney faltered too much in 2012 and all the people Trump fired that actually
were competent people now leave the Republicans with no one to actually produce
a manageable government. If Trump wins we are going to get the worst of the
worse, sorry folks no Men in Black to save us from these aliens.
One of the “X” acolytes of Trump put up a post that showed
Trump Vance Musk V. Ramaswamy and a couple of others and asked are you ready
for this team to run the country. Seriously? Could you not find a worse group
of people to run any government. People have lost their mind.
Anyway no one wants Trump or Harris, most people are voting
for or against Trump. Harris might win if she can convince enough fence sitters
that she might be able to handle the job, but that is a harder convince job than
the Harris campaign team wants you to believe.
The economic questions are bad enough, the border and immigration
need Congressional support to get anything done, but does anyone with an ounce
of sanity want either to address the potential foreign policy nightmares
brewing.
What are we doing?
And yet the duopoly keeps chugging along. And as mentioned
before House Speaker Johnson said the truth, when he said not passing the CR
forty five days before election was political malpractice, or another words
doing their job and passing a full budget was too hard, but it was better to kick
the can down the road so they could get elected. Folks that wasn’t political malpractice
that was governing malpractice, you know, their job!
No cheers tonight or in the near future, but much tequila is
needed.
