Donald Trump was nearly assassinated, and his security detail was straight out of a DEI horror show. He has been the repeat victim of weaponized, unconstitutional lawfare. The liberal-leaning Teamsters Union president and a strange array of celebrities endorsed the Republican nominee. He just shored up his ticket with the first millennial vice-presidential nominee, a bluegrass hillbilly and Yale grad who once called Trump Hitler, voted against him twice, but represents true work-class populism.

And now this just in! “President” Joe Biden drops his re-election bid. Of course, he never really was president. Let’s not fool ourselves. Half the time, he didn’t know where he was, and clearly, Jill Biden, like former President Woodrow Wilson’s wife, was most likely calling most of the shots. Perhaps there is some truth to Obama running things behind the scenes. He wished for as much!

Biden should also resign from the Presidency, but how many more unprecedented historical turns can this country handle?

He has endorsed Kamala Harris to replace him, a one-term US Senator from a basket case, nutcase California, who puts the “Eeeeh!” in DEI.

Let us imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.

Assuming Harris carries the nomination on the DNC convention floor, who will take her place as VP? Of course, the Democratic Party is about as democratic as Jeffrey Dahmer, who is a role model for babysitting. DNC delegates shouted down a platform amendment recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2012. They also booed the mention of God. Yet the chairman of the convention at the time, Antonio Villaraigosa, ignored those votes.

Who can forget the coronation of Hillary Clinton, which occurred because of a large array of DNC superdelegates, current elected officials who will always line up with the established, overriding the grassroots? Don’t you just love democracy?

But let’s assume that Harris is the presidential nominee. (Stop kackling!) Who will line up as her VP? It can’t be any white male since diversity, equity, and inclusion are the Marxist mission of “The Democracy” now. California Governor Gavin Newsom is out since the US Constitution requires that the nominees on a presidential ticket must be from two different states. Most betting odds suggest Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro would be her VP nominee.

He's popular, from a swing state, having won the election in 2022 with 56% of the vote, and before that, he won two solid terms as Attorney General. He is Articulate and conscientious with consistent competence despite being an abject liberal. And he’s not just any white male but would be the second Jewish candidate on a presidential ticket. 

If not Shapiro, Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Another woman? Sure. She gets a lot of buzz in Democratic circles because she has run (or ruined) the Wolverine State like the Tea Party of the Left acolyte. She has pushed through an unprecedented progressive agenda, including LGBT everything, Climate Change anything, and she has repealed landmark Republican victories from years past, including the seminal right-to-work legislation. Whitmer is the Left-Wing Ron DeSantis, racking up one progressive policy victory after another in a state that had a Republican legislature for decades.

But what if Kamala doesn’t win the confidence or votes of the DNC delegates in August? That is a distinct possibility since, as of print time, major Democratic power players, from Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi to former President Barack Obama, have not openly endorsed her, nor have they mentioned her following their false praise for Biden following his necessary exit from the stage. AOC has divulged that most Democrats hate her.

Remember that DEI is king, or rather queen, in the Democratic Party machine, so they have to choose a black female, right? Stacy Abrams is a non-starter since she has done nothing but lose elections. Her claim to fame is insisting that she won when she didn’t. Her presence on any national ticket would be a dismal drawback since Democrats plan to hammer Trump as a threat to democracy, including his repeated (justified) insistence that Election 2020 was stolen in plain sight.

Then there’s Michelle Obama. “Obama” still has the aura around it, a name that will light up nothing but excitement from Democratic voters, including progressives, and would re-attract the growing disaffected black vote in this country that was drifting towards Trump or was planning on sitting out the election entirely.

However, according to Mark Halperin, Michelle O does not want to run. She hates politics; she barely tolerated her husband’s campaign and tenure in Washington DC (both as Senator and President). She reportedly loves her queenly lifestyle out of the limelight. I believe that. However, I also believe that enough pressure can induce her to “do what is best for everyone” and step up to serve her party and her nation. Larry Elder, the world-renowned and articulate Sage from South Central, wanted nothing to do with elected office, but enough California conservatives rallied for him to run for governor in the 2021 California recall effort. He fared poorly, but he ran. The same could happen to Michelle, but she would have a much better chance of winning, and she could let her husband run things from behind the scenes, as one alleges he is doing now.

A black woman is going to be on the Democratic ticket, and it will most likely be Kamala Harris. Trump’s chances for re-election have already grown considerably, from the botched lawfare which has increased his prestige among key voters to the outright outrage of the general voting electorate to Biden’s terrible policies.

This is Trump’s election to win, and with Kamala Harris, the black (and Indian!) Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket (with all her corporate liberal baggage), his chances at returning to the Oval Office, as only the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms, will be one for the ages.
