Vice presidents rarely matter when a voter chooses a president, but the obvious physical infirmity of President Biden changes that in 2024. People will be thinking a lot about \u2018President Kamala Harris,\u2019 and shuddering when they do. When Trump chooses a mainstream running mate who is good on the stump, the gap is going to widen in Trump\u2019s favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The issues cake is baked too. My device for recalling them all is \u2018A-B-C-D-E-I-E-I-I\u2019: appeasement, the border, crime, \u2018DEI,\u2019 education, inflation and Israel. Swing state voters know Biden is on the wrong side of every single one of these issues. And not just on the wrong side by a little. Biden-Harris has gone so far left on all of these issues that detailed arguments don\u2019t even need to be made. Trump and his running mate just have to repeat the mantra. Voters already know the score.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a remarkable comeback for Trump, and he\u2019s got the crazy prosecutors in Manhattan to thank in part. What Bragg is doing in Manhattan is appalling, and it will get worse before it gets better in terms of interference with the campaign in a trial that should never have been begun much less continued into the stretch run of the campaign. Voters are smart. Voters know when the permanent government is putting its thumb on the scale, or in this case, its entire fist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And voters don\u2019t like it, any more than they like the cumulative inflation of 20% since Biden was sworn in or Biden\u2019s wide-open border. Not a bit. It\u2019s banana republic politics and it isn\u2019t helping Biden at all and the numbers show that. But when the Democrats committed to a frail and failing nominee, they had to commit to this approach. Biden is incapable of giving a good speech, indeed, he can barely make it around a stage. So Democrats are banking everything on a conviction in New York which, when it comes, will energize the hosts on MSNBC and almost nobody else. It\u2019s priced in already. It\u2019s a show trial and everyone knows how they end. I expect a spectacular backlash from this abuse of the criminal law. Most Americans have due process in their bones and Trump isn\u2019t getting it. Again, voters are smart. They know.<\/p>\n
Pray the rebuke Democrats receive in November is enough to reset the party back somewhere close to where the old-school liberals lived. We don\u2019t need a two party system where one party has lost its commitment to the rule of law and to our ally Israel. Democrats have abandoned both. The reckoning is coming.<\/p>\n
