MY THOUGHTS ON 2024

By Bob Walsh

 

For what they may be worth to you, these are my thoughts on the 2024 election.  I have no Magic 8 Ball or other inside info, this is just me thinking and "talking."

Unless Joe Biden has a major health issue he WILL be the Democrat-Socialist candidate for 2024.  If for no other reason than to protect his son and his family, and thereby himself, from criminal problems.  I believe he is thoroughly corrupt.  I am talking Spiro Agnew corrupt.  I COULD be wrong, I don't think I am.

The democrat machine will work to SMASH RFK Jr. out of fear he will be a real threat to Biden.  I suspect this is to some extent the same sort of mental idiocy that lead Dick Nixon to go after McGovern.  The only way RFK Jr. could be a "threat" to Joe is if Joe strokes-out three days before the convention, in which case his interest in the whole thing will be greatly diminished.  

Donald Trump will NEVER hang it up.  He truly believes he was robbed last time around and wishes to cement this belief.  Trump supporters will vote for him even if he ends up running from prison.  Every indictment cements his position with his base.  Trouble is, his base will not give him 50% +1.  Unless Biden gorps out but is still standing on election day the never-Trumpers and fence stradlers will likely (IMHO) deny Trump the presidency in 2024, assuming he gets the nomination.

DeSantis has a real likelihood of beating Biden.  He problem will be in beating Trump without totally alienating the Trump crowd to the point where they say FUCK IT and stay home (or vote for a third party candidate, which is the same thing more or less).  I would be happier if he would stop running against Mickey Mouse and start running against Joe Biden.

The Democrats have no bench.  Mayor Pete or Kamala the cackler?  Get real.  I am fairly sure Gavin Newsom gets a hard-on every time he sees Biden walk down a staircase.  IF Joe Biden were to drop dead or become obviously and undeniably incapacitated three days before the Democrat-Socialist convention Newsom could (reluctantly of course) be convinced to accept a draft.  That would also get rid of Kamala as the Pres and the V P can not both come from the same state.  This is not an unrealistic possibility, merely an unlikely one.

I think it is LIKELY to be Trump and somebody vs. Joe and Kamala.  

We are way too early for firm notions.  That being said these thoughts seem reasonable to me.  

Personally I think a Ron DeSantis / Nikki Haley ticket would be very, very hard to beat.  But then again the RNC is unlikely to ask my opinion.

If Biden is reelected, I predict that within two years Kamala will be the president
