I realize this is crazy talk and I do not expect it, but lets us not repeat Hillary's mistake. The whole trouble with the suicidal Hillary v**ers was that they never considered that Hillary could possibly lose. So when she did they had no contingency plan on how to think. Their brain cells imploded because the impossible happened.

I always try to plan for the worst. It is not always possible, but even our military has contingency plans for almost everything. They had plans for what would happen after the US and the USSR had blown up the world after a nuclear war. You have to plan for everything.

So lets us look at a President Joe Biden Universe. It could happen and we sure do not want to look like suicidal Hillaryites if it does. The good news is that all would not be lost.

Again I am submitting a worst case scenario.

This is if everything that could go wrong does. That means President Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi because Republicans fail to take back the House. I will assume one thing going right and that is McConnell retaining leadership in the Senate.

Joe Biden would be 78 years old when he is sworn in. I cannot conceive of him running for ree******n four years later. Republicans would have an excellent shot at retaking the White House in 2024. So what happens when Good Hands Joe takes his Oath of Office ?

First of all, the crazies lead by Occasio-Cortez will expect a full on 1917 Russian-Type Revolution, followed by the imprisonment of Trump, his entire family, and everyone who ever worked for him. Old Joe will be unable to fulfill that wish. They will also demand the Green New Deal. The Senate under McConnell will block them. Occasio-Cortez will blame Pelosi and Biden. The four years of Biden will be Democrats at war with themselves. Biden will not be able to appoint that many judges to reverse what Trump has done in the federal courts.

Fast forward to 2024 and either Mike Pence or Niki Haley will defeat whoever Democrats put up because Biden will be too worn out to run for ree******n.

You can only win or lose so there isn't a whole hell of a lot to prepare for. Conservatives today seem to think that lightning is going to strike again. It could, but not likely the same spot. Where Trump is failing is that he sees no need to expand beyond his base even though, at most, that give him 44% of the v**e. Again, it seems that Trump thinks that all he needs to do is stoke the fires of h**e on the right and he will be a shoo-in for a second term.

And myself, I don't see Biden or Sanders getting the nomination and Trump isn't as sharp as a Buttigieg or someone on the lower tiers. Trump is going to look like a fool debating anyone one of the Democrats and since all he is proposing is more division, denigration, and h**e that won't be a winning combination against those with a superior intellect.

Life will go on...

Dems will do what dems do, fix the financial messes republicans make...like Obama fixed Bush's mess.

Trump had an easy job, put taxes back to pre Bush cuts and fix the array of special interest loop holes, instead he increases deficits with a tax cut for the wealthy.

So the two old white guys will not get the nod. Okay. There is a reason the rest of the field is lower tier. Biden as the front runner is getting an anal check up every time he opens his mouth. If any of these lower tier players becomes number one, then we will see their weaknesses because their fellow Democrats will expose them.

The nice White Lady with the Native American background is who I want to see weather the front runner storm. Biden is actually surprisingly resisting the irresistible left wing tide. I di-int think he had it in him. He knows that after the primary,whoever wins will have zag to the middle. I laughingly watch the talking heads speculate how Biden will win back the White Working class that Hillary abandoned in Pennsylvania.

I say he and the rest of the crazies cannot do it. Obama permanently alienated them. He went far out of his way to insult the White Straight Boys. Biden loves to show his Scranton Pa. roots. Sorry Joe, when you hitched to wagon to Obama you gave your middle finger to the people you grew up with.
