The storyline is reminiscent of an unfinished TV movie script. Don’t I say I didn’t warn you.
With the 2022 midterm elections less than a year away and the consensus that the Democrat Party will get its a** handed to it in both the House and Senate after two years of Biden, attention is increasingly turning to the big enchilada — the 2024 presidential election.
For the Democrats, however, their choices for their nominees are absurd.
In that laughability, the top two options as we speak appear to be a man who will be 82 years old in November 2024 — whose mental acuity continues to drop faster than the number of Mickey D’s fries in a bag on Michael Moore’s lap — and an even worse choice.
Let’s be honest. Can you imagine this guy’s mental state three years from now — when his minders already hold their collective breath every time he opens his addled mouth in public? What then, Dems?
The woman with whom OnlyThe only requirements to serve as vice-president were her gender, and her skin color. Kamala is what Biden was to declining octogenarians. Kamala is to all-hats-and-no cows pretend-cowboys. Moreover, when she dons that hat, there’s nothing of substance going on under it.
This brings us to the Republicans.
Anybody who is even remotely interested in presidential politics will know that Donald Trump announced his intention to run for president in 2024. If he does, his candidacy will preclude any Republican with post-Trump presidential aspirations — Ron DeSantis, Tom Cotton, et al. — from entering the field, although it would not necessarily stop someone like former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who claims he turned down seven job offers from Trump, from primarying Trump, which he continues to suggest he will do.
Here’s where it gets crazy.
In every election, the primary factor that determines who someone supports for is their party’s nominee, especially in presidential elections. Should BeElectability and aligning with one’s political views. That is not always the case, nor will it be the case in 2024, as “some” plan to “settle the score” of 2020, while others are already well out over their skis and thinking this thing through It is way, too much.
The following is an example of the former.
The Lincoln Project, as most people are not aware of it was started in fierce opposition to Donald Trump. Yuuge opposition. Damn near an understatement. Lest you’re unaware:

The left-wing PAC, founded by disgruntled former Republicans, has regularly called Trump a coward, a loser, an authoritarian, a clear and present danger to national security, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and far worse — much of it unprintable.
Unfounded and illogical? In my mind, as is true of most visceral feelings — goodOr bad — of course.
It just keeps getting worse.
As reported by Fox News on Friday, Lincoln Projector co-founder Rick Wilson has announced his choice for the 2024 Republican presidential candidate, America, which — if you’re like me — I’m sure you await to learn with bated breath. Ready? OK — time to suspend disbelief, gang.
Rick Wilson, the grifting hater, announced that Donald Trump should not only be running for president in 2024; he also wanted him to become the Republican nominee.
Logical? In Wilson’s TDS-obsessed mind? Evidently so. But in reality? It’s not true. The question is WTF??Is there something wrong?
Let’s let Wilson answer that question in his own demented way.
People who claim they want Trump back by 2024 to kill off his disgusting cult and drive it into history are showing the same imagination failures as before.
“We want Trump to kill his own babies,” Wilson said. “We believe if we narrow the field and it’s only Trump in 2024, it’s an easy choice for Americans to say ‘no.’”
People who believe we want Trump to return in 2024, if not for killing his repugnant cult or driving it out of the history books, have the same lack of imagination as they did before.

What is the rational response to all of this? It is especially true when poll after survey shows Trump winning in a walk the 2024 GOP nomination if it comes to the race. A poll has shown that Trump would win a Trump-Biden matchup by at least double the margin if it were to take place today.
Here’s the thing. Other than MSNBC’s Joy Reid, no public figure comes to (my) mind at the moment who even approaches the level of bitter bile of this attention whore. As is always the case, Wilson’s mini-hate fest here says a helluva lot more about Rick Wilson than about Donald Trump.
Sarah Lenti, a former Lincoln Project executive director, who left the group this year, is disgusted by Wilson and his “logic,” noted Fox News. (Emphasis, mine)
“Wait, what happened to their higher calling? What if Trump were a danger to America in 2019, then why would we wish the same on our people? If democracy were and still is at stake, then why would you play with fire when it’s your turn?
“Their goading of Trump is reckless, Disgustingly inept and desperate. And, like Trump, their greed and desire to be relevant supersedes what is best for America.”
Ooh, nice.
Meanwhile, like one of those little ankle-biting dogs you’d like to kick across the room — I’m kidding, dog people — Wilson and his band of deranged power-broker-wannabes continue to try to nip at Trump’s ankles at every opportunity, as was the case, below.
“Next week, Palm Beach televisions, perhaps including those in Mar-a-Lago, will once again air a commercial by the Lincoln Project intended to remind Trump that DeSantis is the new GOP ‘it’ guy.”
Although that prediction is yet to come, it’s one thing that is certain: he stated, his tongue locked in his cheek. I’m sure Trump shook in his boots when (if) he saw that commercial. And I don’t mean that in reference to Ron DeSantis. Lincoln Project? You. Don’t. Matter.

Finally, a word or two about Never-Trumpers vs. Always-Trumpers, which is always a — ahem — “hit.”
Never-Trump Republicans are not to be confused Trump Derangement Syndrome Democrats. They believe Donald Trump cannot do any right. Ever.Trump alone could cure cancer. The Never-Trumpers will smear him because he puts oncologists out-of-work. COVID is the same stupid mindset.
The flip side is that Always-Trumpers think Trump can be right. Every. It was impossible for him to. It was there for five years and it is still there. Trump can do, say, or tweet (ah, the “good” ol’ days) anything, and Always-Trumpers rush to defend, justify, rationalize, minimize, dismiss, or outright ignore it — to the point of perfectly intelligent people turning themselves into ridiculous pretzels.
News Flash: The news is that both sides are filled with crap. Nobodyis either always right or wrong. Period.
It remains amusing as hell to me that “nobody” wants to admit being a member of either group. Also amusing to me, is I know who you are if you’re in my political sphere: you wear your label on your forehead daily.
Rick Wilson is a mad lunatic.
