It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to!

After Monday’s spite party, it’s obvious Democrats believe 2020 is a referendum on the incumbent’s personality and handling of COVID-19. Michelle Obama finds Trump un-empathic, Bernie Sanders fears he’s an authoritarian, John Kasich thinks he ruined the GOP, Andrew Cuomo blames him for the pandemic, and a surprise guest blamed him for her dad’s COVID death. DNC production quality was so bad it felt like a rerun of the Blair Witch Project.

I guess Ms. Obama knows when a president “is in over his head” after witnessing her husband craft the worst 8-year GDP string in presidential history, send Clinton to Russia with a Ronco “reset” button (misspelled in Russian) and flying Kerry to Iran with a “kick me” sign on his back. And, how empathic was her husband when he told blue-collar workers “those jobs are never coming back” and to accept illegal immigrants as “an act of love.”

Michelle looked the part of a love-blind fool – after Trump cut corporate tax rates and eased regulations to add 480,000 factory jobs and boost stock market values by $10 trillion. He’s also normalized relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, gotten NATO countries to pay up, convinced Mexico to deploy 15,000 soldiers on the US border, and replaced NAFTA (as promised). Plus, he’s building the wall.

If there’s an authoritarian in the room, it’s Bernie Sanders, whose campaign openly asked for the authority to ban fossil fuels, dictate wages, limit all incomes to $1,000,000, and take over healthcare. After vodka shots with Soviet soldiers on his honeymoon and having only three bills actually enacted, Sanders is a frustrated Stalin wannabe (real authoritarian).

After watching Antifa and Black Bloc run wild in Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, and Seattle, Trump rightly asserted his authority to protect American citizens and federal buildings. In contrast, Democrats provided political cover and refused to arrest fire-bombers and looters; thereby creating urban anarchy. And, if Sanders thinks “preserving democracy” is spying on campaigns and spreading false claims, he’s not fit to be an American, much less a senator.

Governor Cuomo blamed the incumbent for “the failed federal government that watched New York get ambushed by their negligence and then watch New York suffer.” Actually, in September 2019, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors produced a report, Managing the Impact of Pandemic Influenza through Vaccine Innovation, while Cuomo ignored his state’s medical stockpiles. And who sent a hospital ship, pop-up hospitals, and military medics to New York? What an ingrate!

Pitiful but better than revealing Biden’s back to the future plans: raise taxes by $4 trillion, force installation of 500,000,000 solar panels by 2025, eliminate carbon emissions from every power plant, force school districts to replace bus fleets with green models, enact pro-union labor laws, and re-installing green and income equality regulations. Don’t take my word for it: go to his website and read for yourself. Can you say Obamanomics II?
