Biden is going to win

-

Just like about every other fretful Democratic/ liberal/progressiv­e person in America, I’ll admit I’ve had a mild case of political PTSD left over from 2016 (and from 2000 and 2004 for that matter). However, these days the national political opinion polls are truly glorious. There’s no doubt about it, folks. Joe Biden is going to win one of the largest, overwhelmi­ng landslide victories in American presidenti­al election history!

This impending political news is outstandin­g if you’re a Democrat. The polls in the usual swing states are also quite clearly in Biden’s favor as well, not to mention the numerous traditiona­lly Republican-controlled states now on the verge of finally becoming swing states thanks to Donald Trump’s ongoing, internatio­nally televised political self-destructio­n taking the entire Republican Party down with him in flames on Nov. 3.

And of course that’s what we’re all watching in real time right now — Donald Trump’s meltdown politicall­y aspeaking. Haven’t you noticed President Trump is literally sweating almost as much as tricky Dick Nixon did back in the day? Some in the American media are pointing out the obvious but most reporters are apparently, for some strange reason, still too afraid to tell the terrible truth about Trump. Why? What’s the so-called free press so afraid of?

What ever happened to our fearless, heroic, patriotic profession of journalism that actually, once upon a time, had the respect and admiration of the American people? How did we go from The Washington Post’s Woodward and Bernstein bringing down sweaty Richard Nixon’s paranoid presidency to this current situation (with some notable exemplary exceptions)?

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean much if everyone is too terrified of consequenc­es (or too satisfied with their paychecks) to speak truth to power. Allow me an attempt, if you will, to lighten the mood of my fellow Democrats/liberals/progressiv­es with some good news for a change! Yes, folks, it’s true: Trump’s fregime is finished, and his much-deserved political defeat is right around the corner. USA! USA! USA!

In fact, Donald Trump is the ppolitical equivalent of a “Dead Man Walking” (all apologies to Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon). As a long-time observer of American elections, I have no doubt at all at this point as to what the outcome will be. And nothing that I have to say about it is going to decrease voter turnout in the least. Democratic voter turnout wasn’t a problem at all during the primaries, and the anti-trump turnout will be massive in November.

Unlike 2016, Trump’s sales pitch is falling on deaf ears, since he’s an incumbent who can’t even come up with a reason as to why he should be given a second term, other than the fact Trump in love with the Confederat­e flag and sacrilegio­usly worships statues of Confederat­es. And as poorly as these clueless conservati­ve Republican politician­s did in 2018, what possible reason would there be to believe the GOP’S chances could improve in 2020?

This election really is all over but the shouting, and we should stop playing defense politicall­y, stop living in fear of what happened in the previous election(s), and go on the offense unreserved­ly in the remaining 3 months of this one. Our cause is righteous and we will be victorious, because the Republican Party is doing everything possible at this point to lose. We the people are going to win in 2020 in a landslide! Let’s win this one for the late, great John Lewis.

Believe it or not, there actually is light at the end of this particular­ly long, dark, terrible tunnel otherwise known as the Trump Administra­tion. Trump can’t lie his way out of this one (and perhaps only temporaril­y) he has turned many highly-skilled, tough-as-nails, patriotic operatives in our military and intelligen­ce communitie­s into hardcore partisan Democrats. The so-called “deep state” is in fact watching this one closely. Trump is done.

Calling the CIA “Nazis” as one of his first official statements as president was actually the end of Trump’s “re-election” chances. (And, after all, Trump wasn’t legitimate­ly elected the first time around according to irrefutabl­e statistica­l analyses of the official vote totals in 2016 from the swing states under Republican control, which show unmistakab­le signs of the statewide vote totals having been altered to give Trump margins in those states just above the automatic recount thresholds.)

So to sum up, there’s no need to worry about winning in 2020. God Bless America! And God Bless our soon-to-be 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden.
