We see every day the visible deterioration of Joe Biden both physically and mentally. You cannot deny the fact that his walk is now a shuffle and that his ability to intellectually interact with the press and public is severely diminished. At this point it is merely a question of time before he has an incident that will remove him from the office of the President and the campaign.
The other factor in who will run is the rapidly declining confidence the democratic party has in Biden and his agenda. Biden is losing minority voters to Trump in record numbers. His policies are infuriating the middle class as they have caused rampant inflation and record deficits as well as massive increases in crime in our communities. This decline in popularity is making the odds of a democrat being elected this fall very low if not nonexistent. The fact is that so much damage has been done to the democratic brand it is unlikely they will win with any candidate.
It is easy to get bogged down in the issues during a campaign but what we rarely discuss as citizens are the tactics the parties use on a longer term basis. Historically the office of the President flips back and forth between the parties on a fairly regular basis. The head strategists of these parties know this very well. I am sure the agendas are planned so that they make gains during their term in office and then lose ground when not. Still, careful strategy can make the most of the 4 or 8 or very occasionally 12 years while they are in power. This said, you also have to plan for the times you are out of the office of the president so that you minimize the number of years you are out and also seek to prepare for your next turn at the helm of our country.
In considering all this, I have a theory about how the election for the presidency this coming fall will go for the democrats.
I believe they have accepted that they will lose in November. Knowing this, they want to make the most use of the time and situation so they can maximize their control in the future. This includes eliminating individuals in the democratic party from being involved in national affairs. Look back to 1968 when the democrats knew the upset in the nation over the Vietnam war would cause a loss and they put Humphrey and Muskie up as candidates. They lost and essentially were not heard from again. Take 1980 when Carter and Mondale lost to Reagan. Carter went to Georgia to farm peanuts but Mondale did run again in 1984 and was trounced 49 states to 1. Both were relegated to the waste bins of history. Another is 1988 when Dukakis and Lloyd Bentson lost to Bush. They knew the popularity of the Reagan administration would carry over and put Bush in office so they again sacrificed figures in their party who they would not want involved politically afterwards.
Sometimes they do this to meet the vanity needs of their candidate who, like Biden, think they are worthy when they are not. Other times it is to find a sacrificial lamb to throw to electoral slaughter knowing the damage that losing a presidential election will tarnish a career sufficiently to eliminate that individual from any serious positions in terms of policy or actions.
Now, in the case of Trump it is patently obvious that Trump has a huge support base in the citizenry. He has funding. He is prominent and the election of 2020 is still considered to be stolen from Trump by his supporters. As such his brand is as vibrant and popular as ever and despite the rinos in the republican party doing their best he easily beat their candidates in the primaries and has the nod for 2024. Trump is much like Teddy Roosevelt in that he is extremely popular but the difference is Trump beat the republicans at their own game.
All of this said, here is my prediction for the democrats for 2024.
Sometime a little before the democrat convention Biden will have an incident or his decline will be medically reported to Harris and the cabinet and the 25th Amendment procedures will be put in place and Harris will assume the duties of the president. She will be bound by the cabinet to maintain the Biden agenda through the election. No one will be replaced in that circle. Biden will not resign and this will be the status quo thru to January 2025 and the inauguration.
This will be the cause of removing Biden from the ticket in 2024. Harris will be the nominee. Further she will pick some DEI VP candidate who will very much be a lightning rod of controversy due to their personal ‘choices’. It does not matter who this is as long as they (he/she/both) are DEI. The ticket for 2024 will be the ultimate expression of the DEI insanity that has been going on during Biden’s term.
By running Harris and who ever she picks the democrat strategists accomplish a few things when they lose which they know absolutely they will.
One, Harris will be sent to the political equivalent of Siberia. She will never really be a factor in national politics again.
Two, DEI will also be sent to the same place. No more of this freak show in the White House and Congress. The military will drop these issues and return to doing what they should be doing. So will many of the policies of the Biden administration. You will never see the border legft open again. The wall will be finished and stringent controls put in place to screen all people entering our country. Further, the incompetence that is permeating our government agencies will be rooted out. These are all due to the DEI agenda and other ‘fairness’ agendas and they have all put our nation in jeopardy both from within and without. Some may return but I doubt it will ever approach these levels at least not for a long time.
Three. Much of the agenda that has been instituted by the Biden administration is very unpopular and has been pushed by Obama and the people who are behind him. This agenda is not popular enough that anyone running on it will probably lose and if they try to implement it again when they get back in power it will send them to Siberia for another 4 or 8 years. So, this who ‘New World Order’ movement will be shoved into the back seat along with Obama and the people empower him. This is the only way for a main stream democratic party leadership can get back in control. You can expect that the era of Obama and the Clintons will be over for good.
I have no doubt that barring massive cheating on the democrat’s part Trump will be elected and if he is savvy and picks a good VP who is articulate and dynamic there will be a republican president in 2028 and potentially 2032 barring the democrats ginning up some problem or economic disaster during Trumps term or after. The election will be a mandate for the Trump agenda and many of his policies will be enacted and institutionalized. This is the pendulum of power swinging back the other way. It is inevitable.
All political parties talk about issues in the present tense but you must understand that the long term strategy is far more important to their ability to obtain and hold power (and wealth). In DC as well as any state capitol, having power is about money, prestige and access. If you cling to unpopular policies and agenda items you will die on your sword and so will your party. The people who run these parties are looking at the government and their positions within it with a long term lens. They are more than aware of the negative impact of the past 4 years and they are using it to clean their house and set a more viable course for the future.
So, you can count on one thing. When policies that are enacted are very unpopular they will eventually be changed because clinging to a sinking ship is a sure way to drown and no career politician or political strategist will hang their reputations and futures on any such agenda item that will assuredly bring them to ruin.
Sacrificing Harris and sending Biden into retirement as well as banishing Obama and the Clintons is just a step towards their ultimate goal for the democrats. This does not include ceding power to a world government, at least one that they do not control.
It is a step made to prepare for their next move in the political chess game that politics actually is.
One thing about that chess game. The citizens are the pawns that are sacrificed as they are sent into battle. Yes, we are expendable as well as the generals who ordered us to our doom. The current managers of the agenda of the democrat party will be sacrificed as well.
No competent chess player sacrifices any piece without a plan to use that move to enable getting an advantage. So, expect to see many changes when the election is over in November.
