For the record, the 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a genuine cluster-you-know-what.

What we have is the two major parties both in an uproar and third party candidates who don’t really stand a hooker’s chance in Hunter’s hacienda ready to do what was previously unheard of – siphon votes from the democrats.

It’s always been the rule that third party candidate takes votes from the republican side of the political spectrum, but 2024 will be the exception.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is running third party and while he will take most of the votes he gets from Joe Biden, we cannot dismiss what could well happen should Donald Trump win the republican nomination, as there will be some, not many but some republicans who will vote for Kennedy.

It gets worse for the republicans should Trump NOT win the nomination, as a good many of the “Only Trumpers,” those who vow it’s Trump or nothing, will either write in Trump, in which case neither Trump nor the nominee other than Trump on the republican side will win, or some of them will vote Kennedy in which case neither Kennedy, nor Trump, nor the republican other than Trump nominee will win.

But for the sake of argument, let’s say Trump pulls it off. Let’s say he wins the nomination AND the presidential election. What happens next? Well, that depends largely on what happens with the down tickets in the House and the Senate. Right now, republicans hold a razor-thin majority in the House and we may well not hold that after 2024.

If we lose the house, and Trump wins, we will be right back where we were after 2016 with endless sham impeachment trials. If we don’t gain the majority in the senate in 2024, and  lose the House…Trump will be out faster than Joe Biden can trip on the stairs.

Even if republicans hold the house and gain control of the senate, Trump will be embroiled in legal wrangling non-stop unless he pardons himself, which will bring about a constitutional question taking the sitting president to the Supreme Court – all of which becomes a major distraction from the duties of the president, and thus diminishes any pre-conceived notion of effectiveness.

But what happens, again for the sake of argument, should Trump somehow win and survive the onslaught of attacks?

He will be a ONE term president – a lame duck from the moment he gets elected and that’s NOT a good thing where foreign policy OR domestic policy are concerned. On the world stage, his clout will be severely hampered by being only a one term occupant of the Oval Office, and domestically, due to the deep hole he’ll be in thanks to Biden’s policies of open borders, killing of our energy independence and economic policies that have led to choking inflation, four years won’t be enough to turn the ship around.

That leaves whomever Trump might pick as a running mate. Given Trump’s narcissism and arrogance, it would seem unlikely that he would choose someone strong enough and adept enough to take over should he be ousted or win outright in 2028 – someone like Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley or Governor Kristi Noem. It’s MORE likely that he would choose a career insurance policy like Kari Lake or some other puppet that would make people think twice about replacing him…I.E. the republican version of Kamala Harris.

IF Trump wins…IF republicans maintain control of the House and IF republicans take the majority in the Senate – ALL big ifs –  bottom line is that he’s one and done and that’s sets up another open field with dozens of candidates on the stage for 2028 which most likely leads to a quantum shift back to liberal control in 2028.

Okay, that’s the cluster-you-know-what on the right side of the aisle. Let’s have a look at the cluster-you-know-what shaping up on the left side of things.

At this end of the cluster-you-know-what we have the cognitive disaster that is Joe Biden, and the intellectual disaster, Kamala Harris, neither of which is fit to serve. Biden has his own deep legal problems related to his being in business with Hunter Biden and reaping the rewards of payoffs, payouts and bribery to the tune of tens of millions of dollars mostly from countries that don’t like us very much.

Joe said he had no knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings, but records clearly show he did. Joe said Hunter never received any money from China, but records clearly show that not only did Hunter get paid millions from China, but so too did Joe, James and nearly 10 other members of the Biden family crime syndicate after trying to launder the proceeds through more than 20 different shell companies. Joe then said he was never in business with Hunter, but again…records clearly indicate that was also a lie.

Despite bloviations and denials from Biden and his camp, Hunter’s laptop, his text and email records and bank records paint a much clearer picture of what was really going on than the crack addicted Hunter could paint in his most lucid dreams.

Then there’s Joes steep cognitive freefall which is on full display every time he shows up in public, and it’s getting worse on a daily basis. One time, the EASTER BUNNY had to help Joe find his way out of his own yard.

Then, of course, there is the physical decline which has gotten so bad that Joe Biden now has a team of people whose job is to keep him upright during any public appearance. But, Joe’s problems are not limited to his fragile mental and physical state. His policies are also a disaster. From his surrender in Afghanistan leaving Americans and our allies behind and turning the country over to the Taliban, to giving Ukraine billions of dollars with no accountability as to how it’s being spent, and handing Iran billions of dollars while claiming to be Israel’s friend in the war against Hamas, Joe Biden has been on the wrong side of ever foreign policy over the past three years.

Russia waited until Trump was out of office to invade Ukraine, he’s soft on China who has been bankrolling the Biden family crime syndicate for years, he has refunded Hamas via the Palestinian authority, and his domestic policies have also been disasters.

The border is wide open to the point that 8 million unvetted illegal aliens have poured into our country, including hundreds from the terrorist watch list. Joe Biden killed our energy independence by shutting down the building of an oil pipeline while allowing Russia to reopen theirs. Bidenomics is an utter failure as inflation and increasing interest rates have left most Americans unable to afford the basic necessities of life like groceries, or to buy a new home, and don’t even get me started on his COVID and lockdown and vaccine policies.

Joe Biden has allowed the military to go woke to the point we have the worst recruiting stats ever, and we now have a Supreme Court Justice who is unable to define the word, “woman.”

Through all of that and so much more, Joe Biden’s career insurance policy, Kamala Harris, just cackles, spews out word salads in the attempt to answer the most basic questions and never visited the border during her stint as border czar. She’s now in charge of artificial intelligence.

Good Lord.

Unless the BS 2024 strain of COVID shows up fast, Joe can’t campaign from the basement like he did in 2020, and his handlers, including his wife and the Easter Bunny can’t let him out in public, so where does THAT leave the left side of the political aisle?

Joe Biden is bleeding voters like California is bleeding population but a week ago, the democrat party in Florida floated a trial balloon like China floating a spy balloon. The Florida democratic party, despite others trying to run against Joe for the democrat nomination, simply handed all 250 delegates to Joe Biden by refusing to allow any democrat challenger to appear on the Florida primary ballot.

Let me add some much needed perspective here – most democrat voters still claim that electing Trump again will cause the end of our democracy (even though we’re not a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic) yet they have no problem keeping challengers to Joe off the primary ballot. In other words, it’s against democracy to challenge the results of an election, but it’s A-OKAY to fix an election, or in this case, stonewall a primary election.

Not only is Joe Biden bleeding once stalwart voters from blocs owned by the democrats for decades, like black and Hispanic voters, he’s now losing Islamic voters. More to the point, Joe Biden is losing the pro-Hamas, pro-international terrorist organization, pro wipe Israel from the map and kill all the Jews voters. It’s so bad, that in the face of Biden not calling for a permanent cease fire by Israel in the war against Hamas, Muslim leaders from Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania are vowing to ensure that Biden is a one-term president by starting the #abandonbiden movement.

Oh, how that must butt-hurt Joe Biden’s puppet master, Barack Hussein Obama, who has been cultivating that particular voting bloc since 2008, but it falls in line with the recent polling that shows that 67% of democrat voters nationwide do NOT want Joe Biden to run for a second term.

Adding  insult to Joe Biden’s self-inflicted injuries is current polling that indicates Joe’s approval rating stinks at just 37% overall, and 32% approval regarding his handling of our economy, our foreign affairs and his handling of the Israel/Hamas war. Add to that the fact that Kamala Harris is only polling at a 39% approval rate and you can see clearly that the democrat party is just as fractured as is the Republican party as we head into the primaries early next year.

So…what are we to do?

Well…the time to say that the polls don’t matter, as far as the primaries are concerned has come and gone, and to hold any illusion that somebody other than Donald Trump will win the republican nomination is folly at best. Only the RNC committing political suicide by brokering the convention next summer is likely to alter that. By all means, vote for who you really want leading up to the nomination, but for the love of God vote for whoever the nominee is next November.

I’ll vote for Ron DeSantis in the primary, as I don’t believe a short-term, one term victory based on revenge will lead to long-term success for the country, but I sure as hell will vote for Trump, (unless the RNC pulls a fast one in which case I’ll support whoever they choose) and a straight republican down ticket ballot in 2024.

On the left side of things, I believe that the DNC WILL broker their convention if Joe Biden doesn’t take his final bow and then fall off the stage as he’s leaving before that, and they will make Gavin Newsome their new Obama puppet regardless of the unmitigated disaster he’s created in California. As DeSantis says, Newsom’s California is the template the liberals want for the rest of the country.

Again, just for the record, the 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a genuine cluster-you-know-what.
