It’s Wednesday morning, and President Donald Trump is doling out his takes on the primary race in the form of bizarre fanfiction, particularly with regards to Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Trump has feared Biden for months. Last night was his worst nightmare.
So, I think now we’ll see a quadrupling down on all the shenanigans Trumpco can employ to scuttle Biden. Look for the DOJ, Giuliani, Russia, various oligarchs, Fox News and others to put a full court press on Ukraine, Burisma, Hunter Biden and every other skeleton in the closet they can dredge up. Gonna get nasty. Bill Barr better get used to about 5 hours sleep a night, because Trump is going to insist he stay very busy the other 19 knifing Biden.
Yeah, forgot the Senate in my litany of knaves. May as well toss in the House. They can’t force committee hearings, but the usual gang of suspects will be hectoring leadership to open investigations. Nunes will assuredly be good for a few metric tons of bullshit.
Tangential but related; Michael Moore wanted Buttigieg and Klobuchar to stay in the race for the same reason (to help Sanders).
Michael Moore has become a really tiresome crank. Evidently, Buttigieg and Klobuchar are part of a sinister corporate conspiracy. So, apparently, are black primary voters!
Moore has had more worldly success than most of them, but he fits the profile of the fanatical Sanders supporter (note: I am not by any means saying all Sanders voters, just the intransigent core): the gamer/fanboy, as socially out of it and as prone to fantasy in preference to reality as the most fanatical religious-right Trump supporter.
That’s enough basis to have Warren as the VP pick. Because if Trump is ‘concerned’, then push harder and he will inevitably over-react, thereby making a Democratic victory more likely.
