Newt Gingrich (R-GA) recently wrote that Democrats were all but ensuring Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024. In fairness, I’m predicting (and hoping) for someone new, but I agree that Democrats are doing their worst to get a Trump restoration. America’s liberals are bumbling and stumbling at an alarming rate. If I weren’t a conservative, I’d feel sorry for them every time they invoke Trump to excuse their woes.
Gingrich cites a Rasmussen poll in which 72% of the nation think “political elites believe they are superior to everyday Americans,” including 77% of suburban voters and 68% of women voters. The reason Gingrich cites is the cultural divide between suburban moms and radical Democrats, who abolished gender-specific words from Congress (e.g. mother, sister). I think it runs deeper than that – – to bad ideals and little accountability.
Take Andrew Cuomo, who’s accused by New York’s attorney general of under-counting by 50% senior COVID deaths. One of his top aides just admitted this occurred because Cuomo’s team “didn’t want [that] to be used against [us] in any way.” The Governor moved 9,000 COVID patients into nursing homes, where 15,000 deaths resulted. Then, when the DOJ and state legislators began nosing around, he falsely claimed (felony) only 8,500 coronavirus deaths.
Because of his bad decision and cover-up, even Democrats want his head. Bad enough, but 74,000,000 votes against Biden were reminded Why after a Cuomo aide excused the lie: “the Trump administration [was] politically motivated to blame Democrats for their state’s COVID deaths.” I’m sorry, Andrew, but I watched your daily informercials that explained your state’s rights (and begged for Federal help), touted your decisions (and criticized the president’s), and put you on the Short List.
What about Gavin Newsom, whose recall election is surprisingly gathering steam? The California Democrat cut pay for firemen and sent out stimulus checks to illegal immigrants, enacted regulations that fueled wildfires, said little during the rolling blackouts, and violated his own coronavirus rules to enjoy dinner at Napa’s French Laundry. In the bluest of blue states, how much do as I say, not what I do will the poor and middle class accept?
What about Suzi Levine, who presided over Washington state’s $600 million loss to Nigerian fraudsters, contributed $400,000 to Biden’s campaign, and is awaiting confirmation to the Department of Labor? The Seattle Times describes her stint as commissioner of Washington’s Employment Security Department as a time of “mistakes and shortcomings [including] lapses that contributed to the fraud.” Everyday Americans don’t get promoted when their mistakes lose $600,000,000.
And, what about the Big Guy, who promised in December the “majority of our schools can be open by the end of my first 100 days!” Biden’s “big idea” then was 100 days of mask-wearing. Now, he defines an “open” school as “at least one day a week,” explains “wearing this mask through the next year here can save lives – a significant number of lives,” and confesses there’s “nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next couple months.” I’m counting, Mr. President, and you invoke Trump every day.
I am un-sold on Democrat intelligence. It’s D-U-M-B to keep invoking Trump. Wanna real fork? Turn January 6 into the US equivalent of Britain’s Guy Fawkes Day (man failed to blow up Parliament). Dress kids up in fatso body suits, orange face paint, and fluffy blonde wigs. Give them cherry bombs and bottle rockets. Republicans, a law-and-order bunch, will so dread the evening, they’ll get the message: don’t be that guy.
A punch line is un-electable. A martyr spells trouble. I voted for Trump, but we (the GOP) have to let go to move forward. In parting with Gingrich, I see the right-thinking movement away from cancel culture, identity politics, and socialism, but I think the GOP has better move-America leaders than Trump. If you don’t agree, dig into Mike Pompeo’s biography. And maybe that’s why Democrats keep T-R-U-M-P alive.
