NO ANNOUNCMENT ON VENEZUELA
GET READY FOR DUELING NARRTIVES
Last night Trump kicked off his first national address for the 2026 campaign. We can now expect an avalanche of rebuttals of Trump's claims. We will have wait to see if his predictions will materialize.
Having hardly recovered from the 2024 campaign, we can soon expect the adds, mailers, speeches and interviews in an attempt to sway voters. I expect that it will revert back to the former strategies, all about personalities and personal attacks. Trump gives the opposition lots of ammunition to attack him personally. One must wonder if Trump believes that if he can bait his opposition into making him the main subject of their campaign, they will most likely lose again.
It seems the Democrats do not have much in the way of personalities or polices to challenge the Trump status quo. There is still no real leadership to excite voters, no Bill Clinton, no Barack Obama and if they had a viable candidate like Joe Manchin, he could not win a Democrat primary.
There were rumors that Trump was going to announce hostilities against Venezuela, if it was planned, it was scraped before the actual speech. I suppose the democrats should hope Trump gets involved in some regime change war as it could be the their best hope of winning in the near future, by suppressing the votes of those who are vehemently against any more wars of choice.
Trump laid out the bait to the Democrats, keep opposing ICE and deportation of illegal aliens, a loser for the dems and reinforces attacks as being unamerican and all that goes with it. I am sure he will keep reminding them of thier woke polices and the support for transition surgeries for children and the dems cannot dare change their position.
Same goes for war, the dems now support war and it is unlikely that they will really oppose an interventionist foreign policy. That and the fact that they have no opposition policies or ideas to solve the many problems facing the nation, other than raising taxes on the rich and promising more benefits that cannot be paid for. They no longer have any realistic policies except Trump bad, Maga bad.
The country would be well served if there was a real opposition showcasing ideas that could be viewed as viable. I don't see any, I suspect that is the result of years of rewarding mediocracy as their main goal.
It really is sad to see the strategy the Democrats are forced to take. They have no alternatives but to attack, smear, and lie about the current man at the controls. They have NO platform except "Vote for us, because the other guy is bad."
ReplyDeleteSomeone tell them, please. The other guy isn't running for re-election. No votes required.
Ray, I don't see things as black or white, Democratic or Republican as you do. That is why they refer to purple. That is why Trump said that he won all seven "swing" states. You're correct that people won't be voting for or against Trump in 26, but they will be voting for and against the sycophants who can see no grey. (purple)
