This week the President kicked off his 2020 reelection campaign with a rally in Orlando, a rally that had 20,000 supporters inside the arena and thousands outside in the rain.  It’s hard to imagine any of the candidates in the Democrat field, a field that resembles the crowd in the Star Wars bar scene, being able to defeat the President.  The Democrat problem is that, even at this late date, they still regard Donald Trump as a joke and a mistake can never happen again.  They should have stopped laughing after the 2016 election, but they didn’t.  They doubled down.  The Dems assured us that the Trump victory would result in a stock market crash.  They were wrong.  The market is up 50% since Trump’s election.  The Dems said Trump’s trade policies would destroy the economy.  They were wrong; it’s stronger than ever.  The President has ended NAFTA with new agreements with Mexico and Canada, he’s gotten better trade deals with Europe and is bringing the Chinese to heel.  The Dems said Trump would start wars and possibly destroy the world.  Wrong again!  He’s gotten NATO countries to pay their fair share (I thought Democrats were in favor of the rich paying their fair share), and he’s made progress with North Korea.  Rather than starting wars, Trump has been criticized for removing troops from Syria.  The Dems, led by Il Duce Obama, dismissed Trump’s promise to create manufacturing jobs with, “What’s he going to do, wave a magic wand?”  Trump’s policies have created more than 5 million new jobs, the manufacturing sector is booming, and there are more job openings than available people to fill them, pushing unemployment for all workers to lows not seen for 50 years.  In spite of 3 years of constant attacks in the media, whose coverage of Trump is 95% negative, and 3 years of phony investigations, the President’s approval ratings are up.  You’d think the Dems would have figured out by know that Trump bashing won’t make him go away.  They’ve hit Trump with everything they have, and he’s still standing.  By now, they should have realized that the traditional means of destroying a political opponent won’t work on Trump.  He’s not a traditional politician, who tip toes around trying not to offend anybody, and who will rush to the microphone to apologize whenever criticized.  He’s the bull in the china shop that this country has needed for so long.  With no help from the Congress, Trump is continuing to build the border wall, and even Democrats have had to stop lying about a manufactured crisis on the southern border.  He’s enacted the prison reform that other presidents only talked about.  There is no aspect of the political landscape in which things are not better now than they were in 2016.  It is against this backdrop of Trump achievements and promises kept that the Democrats lurch into the 2020 campaign.  The conventional wisdom was that Trump only won because Hillary Clinton was such a bad candidate.  The remedy would seem to be a reasonable, moderate candidate as a counterpoint to alleged madman Trump.  The problem is that the Democrats are woefully short of reasonable, moderate candidates.  I think the problem stems from the internal divide in the Democrat Party.  In 2016, the Dems were divided between the crooked Clinton faction and the socialist Bernie Sanders faction.  The Bernie supporters correctly believe that, had Hillary not fixed the 2016 primaries, he would have won.  Accordingly, they now think it’s Bernie’s turn.  Moreover, the media is embracing the socialist stylings of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, an ignorant imbecile who continues to expound on subjects about which she knows nothing.  Recently, AOC alleged that the Trump administration is putting illegal aliens in concentration camps, which she likened to the Nazi death camps, about which she vowed, “never again.”  In so doing, AOC proved that those who fail to learn history are doomed to say something stupid.  She’s managed to insult Holocaust victims, and even comrade Bill DeBlasio said she was wrong.  All this would be unimportant, but for the fact that, since the Dems don’t have real issues, real policies, or real arguments to run on, AOC has become the face of the Democrat Party.  Nothing about the Democrat Party is real, because the Left exists in a world where the facts simply don’t matter.  In Leftist Land, you don’t need facts, all you need to do is to keep repeating the talking point (a/k/a lie) of the day.  So Trump is a criminal, without any evidence, and Trump is a racist, without any evidence, and Trump is against women, Hispanics, gay people, etc, etc.  No facts required.  There are some 24 Democrats running for President, and they all look like pygmies alongside President Trump.  The media is relying on polls 17 months from the election to convince themselves that any of the pygmies will beat the President.  They’re delusional.  At this point in 1996, Bob Dole was ahead of Bill Clinton.  How did that end?  At this point in 1984, Mondale was 10 points ahead of Ronald Reagan.  Mondale lost 49 States, and came within 3,700 votes of losing all 50.  No Dem candidate stands out.  Bernie’s a washed up Marxist.  Kamala Harris hasn’t gained traction.  Cory Booker is a whining joke.  Elizabeth Warren, who may be the winner, will not play on the national stage.  Then there’s Joe Biden, who is ahead because he’s best known.  Joe the human gaffe machine doesn’t have the energy to go the distance, and as liberal as he is, he’s too reasonable and moderate to win the nomination.  So far, all he’s done is apologize for his past positions.  As this is written, he’s under fire for saying he worked with segregationist Senators to get things done.  The Left is appalled, as they know resistance is preferable to accomplishments.  Proving that the truth has no place in the media, a television “journalist” reported it as “Biden cooperated with segregationist Republican colleagues.”  Herman Talmadge and John Eastland were leading Democrats, but it’s the lie that counts.  The truth is that the Dems have nothing to offer.  They were counting on Trump to fail.  Lies won’t elect their candidate.
