We’ve had many remarkable presidential elections in America, but the impending 2024 contest is shaping up as a potential train wreck.  More than 60% of those polled say they’d prefer candidates other than Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden and Donald Trump.  I’ve made my feelings known.  I think Trump did a great job as president, but the Left has succeeded in poisoning his name, making his ability to win a general election of real long shot.  Most Americans agree with my assessment of Trump’s accomplishments.  In a Wall Street Journal poll, 51% say Trump had a strong record of accomplishments.  Remarkably, 40% said the same of Biden.  Wonder what they’re smoking?  The latest poll had little good news for Sleepy Joe.  Between 52 and 63% of those polled disapproved of Biden’s handling of the economy, inflation, the border, China, and Ukraine.  28% of those polled said the economy has improved since 2021.  This 28% must be made up of government employees, illegal aliens, and recent visitors to cannabis dispensaries.  The economy sucks, and Bidenomics is a bigger fraud than its namesake.  When asked who they would vote for if the election was held tomorrow, the result was a tie, with both Trump and Biden at 46%.  This was a surprising result for both candidates, but for different reasons.  An incumbent president at 39% approval, and polling 46% in a shaky economy is troubling.  Two thirds of Democrats want someone other than Joe.  That Trump remains at 46% is remarkable.  In 2016, Trump got 46.2% of the vote, after 24 hour a day bashing and lies from the Media, and a coup attempt by the Obama Justice Department and the CIA.  Between 2016 and 2020, Trump suffered constant riots, a world-wide pandemic, a phony Russia investigation, a traitorous Deep State bureaucracy, and 2 impeachments.  In 2020 Trump got 46.8% of the vote.  Since 2020, Trump has undergone the same Media barrage, plus bashing from Fox News and other Murdoch outlets, a reduction in big donor revenue, 2 civil suits and 4 indictments, and he’s still at 46%.  Democrats spied on Trump, they used so-called law enforcement agencies to keep him from being elected, they sabotaged him after his election, created a phony Russian collusion investigation, protested, rioted, and impeached him twice with no effect.  Now they’ve decided to imprison him for life, but after 4 indictments his support hasn’t wavered.  I shudder to think what’s next from the Party that stops at nothing.  All this said, it’s safe to say then, that we can expect Trump to get about 46% of the vote in 2024.  The problem is, in a two-way race, given the Democrat penchant for ballot box stuffing and other election shenanigans, that’s just not going to be enough.  And these are the numbers that have convinced me that Trump is unlikely to beat Biden head to head.  This is why running against Trump is the Democrat plan for 2024.  If they have to face another candidate, the Dems are in deep trouble, and they know it.  But what if 2024 isn’t a two-way race? If Joe Biden remains the candidate, and that remains in doubt given his frailty, his increasing dementia, and the evidence of his lifelong criminality, he faces serious impediments.  73% of Democrats say Biden is too old to run again, and only 36% of voters say Biden is mentally fit to be president.  Given that statistic, the fact that 46% would still vote for him makes you wonder about the 10% who know he’s unfit and will vote for him anyway.  And no, these are not low intelligence or low information voters.  Professor Alan Dershowitz is one who knows Biden is both inept and corrupt, but even he says he’d vote for him again.  I ascribe it to Leftist brain damage and Trump Derangement Syndrome.  But the truth is, no matter how many times Biden tells us that inflation is down and that he’s reduced the deficit, people know the truth.  They’re spending an additional $700 a month to maintain the same standard they had under Trump, and the deficit and debt just keep going up.  Add to this Biden’s constant gaffes, falling down and spewing of gibberish, and the 7 million newly arrived illegal aliens, and that’s trouble for Democrats.  Their only hope is to beat Trump head to head, because more than half the voters won’t vote for Trump.  But what if voters have another alternative?  We’ve had a number of presidents elected with less than 50% of the popular vote, when third Party candidates have drawn off enough votes to make a difference.  In 1912, Woodrow Wilson was elected with 41.8%.  Bull Moose Teddy Roosevelt got 27.4%, Taft got 23.2% and Socialist Eugene Debs 6%.  Four years later Wilson was reelected with 49%.  1968 was a wild one.  Nixon was elected with 43%, Humphrey got 42% and George Wallace got 13.5% and won 5 States.  Bill Clinton never got more than 50% of the vote.  In 1992 it was Clinton 43, Bush 37 and Perot 19.  Clinton got 49% in 1996, when Perot’s vote fell to 8%.  In 2000, many believe Green Party candidate Ralph Nader cost Al Gore the presidency, when he got nearly 3 million votes, 2.75% of the vote.  Bush won with 47.9%.  I already mentioned Trump’s 2016 46.2% victory.  Having a Republican elected with less than half the popular vote wouldn’t be a novelty.  The Republicans have cracked 50% only once since 1988, with 50.7% in 2004.  Will there be a third party run?  Well, Cornell West is already the Green Party candidate, but I doubt he’ll make a difference.  The No Labels Party is already on 10 State ballots, and is flirting with running a candidate.  Depending on who the candidate is, No Labels could spell the difference between a Trump defeat and a victory.  Names have been thrown around like Joe Manchin, RFK, Jr., and former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.  I doubt Manchin would pull the trigger.  He always talks a good game, then folds himself back into the Democrat swamp when the chips are down.  The only possibility of him running is if he’s convinced he won’t win reelection to the Senate from West Virginia.  I also don’t think RFK is going to be the candidate.  Like Manchin, he’s a Democrat and will remain a Democrat.  Unlike Republicans, who are supposed to be elephants, it’s the Democrats who never forget.  If Manchin or RFK go to No Labels, they can never go back to the Democrat Party.  Clearly, lots of people are dissatisfied with both Trump and Biden, if ever there was a time for No Labels to run a candidate this is it.
