Wishful thinking
I hope trump fails as much as the next guy, but this was pretty poorly written/argued
It’s also pointless. We all just need to ignore garbage like this and vote. Vote like your life and livelihood depends on it, because it absolutely does.
Don’t get complacent. Be ready to vote.
People should vote even if Biden’s election is certain, because the size of the majority matters. Get enough seats and people like Sinema and Manchin will no longer have any relevance, and get large majorities in both houses and you can finally push through the many changes that are needed.
The good news is I still do not think Trump will be on the ballot this November and this week in court shows why. It’s not his sleeping. It’s not his reported flatulence (which I care little about). It is that Trump is showing undeniable signs of dementia. He seems to be melting into a puddle of his own makeup and sweat. The stress can be seen in the photos and the videotape from New York. If Donald Trump is this stressed out a week into his first trial, how could he possibly be expected to last through three more trials, or lead our country for four more years in what is probably the most stressful job on the planet?
Here’s the lede
I like this article’s sentiment, but realistically it’s wishful thinking. Trump will still be the GOP presidential candidate November.
We’re too far along in the primary process, there’s too much obstruction in the courts, and there are too many people who are convinced he’s their messiah (for some inexplicable reason) for him to drop off the ballot now. And let’s face it, he’s been ranting incoherently and breaking the law for 8+ years now and it only seems to energize his base.
I hope I’m wrong. But I highly doubt I am.
The schadenfreude at seeing Trump decline publically is real, but the opening paragraphs about “Biden’s Rise” were everything he said about Pecker several paragraphs later. I’m not impressed that the president can clap back when he is co-signing a genocide.
Acting like he is some heroic figure rising to the occasion is garbage when he seems like he’s trying to work his way up to being Blue Dubya. He’s a slightly less decomposed corpse, but he’s just not even close to adequate for the state of the world. I kinda wish something would fall on both of them before the election so we could choose someone actually good, but it feels almost certain that the DNC would just kingmaker an even more feckless husk channeling the spirit of a Raytheon executive.
