Mark C. Ross – I often say that the greatest political miracle in of all American history is that the Democrats somehow managed to survive the Civil War. They did, however, have to wait until 1884 to win a national election when New York governor Grover Cleveland defeated James G. Blaine. Four years later Cleveland lost to Benjamin Harrison — whom he then defeated the next time around. Sound familiar?
Should Trump win this year, he’ll be only the second person to ever win, lose, and then win the presidency back again. Also, Cleveland was probably way to the right of even most of today’s Republicans.
In addition to Joe Biden’s obvious lack of popularity and the serious lack of credible replacements, the Democrats are also suffering at the local level. Crime, filth, rising taxes, vagrancy, and the obnoxious nature of many of the Democrats’ agenda issues — such as messing with the sexual development of young, naïve, and innocent children are provoking ordinary, usually passive people to look for more comfortable choices.
Enter Donald J. Trump, the most conspicuous bull that ever wandered into a political china shop. He broke the longstanding stalemate, putting everything up for grabs. It’s not ideological to just let it become easier for plain folks to prosper. It is, however, goofball ideology that urges government functionaries to inhibit the creation of new wealth… especially because of contrived, pseudo-scientific expectations of approaching catastrophic weather conditions. Weather? Really? Can’t help but think of legendary King Canute who intentionally embarrassed his annoying sycophants by trying to command the tide to go out — while it was coming in.
We can then throw in exacerbated ethnic sensitivity. You know, “racial” bias. This has long been just about the most productive implement in the Democrats’ toolbox… thus far. Trump’s commonsense approach to economic reality noticeably improved the American standard of living — especially for folks in the lower echelons of the wage scale — who used to be traditional Democrat voters… until now.
