Mid-Term Elections: A Prediction

Mid-Term Elections: A Prediction

Kerry Dougherty

Misleading headline. Sorry. I have no crystal ball. I don’t know what is going to happen after the polls close today and the votes are counted.

I know what I hope will happen: I hope Americans will vote against Joe Biden’s inflationary policies. I hope they’ll vote for tough-on-crime candidates. I hope they’ll vote to make us energy independent again. I also hope that school boards that kept schools closed, parents out and kids in face diapers will be flipped.

But here’s what I’m sure will happen on Wednesday: The long knives of the Democrat Party will be out for Joe Biden.

Even if the Dems somehow manage to cling to their razor-thin Senate majority. Even if a miracle occurs and they hold the House. They’re going to cut him loose.

Biden is a drag on Democrats. His approval rating, according to RealClearPolitics average is 43.8%.  Kamala Harris’ approval is worse at 37.2%.

No way Democrats can run either of these two losers again in 2024. Yet Biden - who will be 83 on Inauguration Day 2025 - is making noises about running again.  Nonsense.

Even if Biden’s dementia is so advanced that he thinks he has a shot at re-election, Democratic leaders will let him know that they’re tossing him out to pasture. They’ll do their best to keep this blubbering fool away from microphones for the rest of his term, too.

All he can do is harm their chances of holding the White House.

Get a load of what Biden said just days ago, apparently forgetting that all-important Pennsylvania - with the only Senate candidate less capable than the president - is a coal state:

Worse, on the eve of the election the president admitted that he’s been lying about awarding a record number of permits for oil exploration:

The corporate media is jumping ship, too. Just yesterday The Washington Post, which has been in the tank for Biden since early in 2020, awarded him “Bottomless Pinocchios” for the falsehoods he’s told over and over.

They took it easy on the old man, mentioning only a handful of his lies. The Post omitted his increasingly frequent claim that his good son, Beau, “lost his life” in Iraq. Or that he was a college professor after his term as veep. Or that he used to drive an 18-wheeler. Or that he met the “inventor” of insulin, who died the year before Biden was born.

Still, when a Democrat loses the true-blue Washington Post, he’s history.

Biden’s presidency has been a disaster and everyone but he and Dr. Jill know it. Younger Democrats will begin campaigning for the party’s nomination Wednesday.

Don’t believe me? Keep an eye on Gavin Newsom.
