    Interesting opinion article about the 2020 race.

    https://gen.medium.com/ive-been-a-d...t-trump-s-rally-in-new-hampshire-c69ddaaf6d07

    The Clausewitz triad is based on the premise that leadership is more important than an exact plan.

    The ability to adjust to constant changes and variables with regard to tactics. Clausewitz always emphasized that warfare is just an extension of politics.

    Trump recently emphasized that he has never seen so much, "Spirit," within the Republican Party.

    "Spirit," of course, is the first part of the triad.

    I’d like to give her a hug. She seems like a wonderful person.

    She captured the similarities and differences between the left and right very well.

    Thanks for posting.

    The second part of the triad is, "Loyalty."

    The third part of the triad is, Morale."

    But I think that Trump personally favors, "Loyalty," in spite of the fact that, "Morale," is more conducive to protracted momentum.

    Most likely Trump will sweep all 50 states (and per his prediction, will get 95% of the Black Vote when he wins DC).

    After reading that article (and that totally unbiased opinion) I am convinced that it will be a complete waste of money for the Dems. to even field a candidate.

    The dems are grasping for straws. They will throw a lot candidates against the wall and see who sticks. Hot today is Bloomberg but Michael Bloomberg is not a Donald Trump. Bloomberg and his money will buy a lot of votes but not enough.

    The lady rocks. If your only justification for your position is "I hate that guy" your position is lamentably weak.

    And it does appear that anyone who will want to move back towards the center after being nominated will have not nearly enough time to do so.

    CNN and MSNBC have been presenting an alternate universe narrative since the end of the impeachment fiasco. That also seems to falling flat on its proverbial face as well.

    Perhaps the last is a promising sign that people can only be lied to for so long and that's why their ratings are collapsing.

    For a long time, we have been saying that the democrats are losing on their own- Trump doesn't need to beat them to win. This article is about a person who backed off and looked at the political situation with an open mind and open view- and was shocked to discover that she has been fed lies by the MSM everyday. The worse the dems get, the more people will back off and do that. The walkaway thing will continue to grow- but many of those who don't walkaway will still find themselves unable to stomach their own candidates, and vote Trump because the alternatives are just unacceptably worse.
    This lady told the honest story, what she saw when she looked outside the democratic box, and found that the worst liars were not Trump or Trump supporters.

    Any who are willing to back off and take a look at the whole picture are welcome, regardless of party.

    They don't have to go through the trouble of 'fielding' anyone since Bloomberg is openly buying the nomination and taking that pesky vetting stuff out of the voter's hands.

    Now you see the movements like Oregon, that want to branch off and become part of Idaho to get away from the radical left that is centralized. West Virginia is welcoming Virginian's to secede to WV. Illinois has a strong movement to kick Chicago out of the state and California wants to divide the state. The radical left has demonstratively tore this nation apart and it's getting progressively worse. Pun intended.

    The dems definitely will not learn, they will continue to do what they do every election cycle, pander to people by making vague promises about giving away free this and that, and painting a picture of pure free-Utopia, while simultaneously calling their opponents racist, homophobic misogynists who hate everyone. In other words, "vote for me cuz I care for you - oh... here's my promise of 'free stuff,' and the other guy hates you, and he's a racist."

    The author is still sleepwalking, since she vote for Pete Buttigieg, a man who speaks in pie in the sky rhetorical double speak, while never articulating anything specific.

    For example: "As President, Pete will achieve net-zero emissions from public lands by 2030 by transitioning to a clean energy economy and increasing the availability of public lands to absorb and store carbon."

    You get that? Pete's just going to wave his magic green wand and "make it so," as if he were Jean-Luc Picard.

    It's gonna be tough to get all of those geologically active nation parks, and the swamps and marshes which spew tones of CO2 and CH4 into the atmosphere to become net-zero, but it's obviously the thought that counts.

    And of course there is his disingenuous "Medicare for All Who Want It," as if the people who don't want it will not still be forced to pay for it.

    The link below is to a video by the founder of the WalkAway campaign.
    Explains what is readily visible, but democrats refuse to acknowledge is real.

    I've been watching amusement as every dem candidate relies on impossible promises and free things. I don't think :"WalkingAway" is quite like flipping a wall switch, because a person who has a lot invested in a belief is going to have to let go of a lot of things- big house cleaning job. But it has to start somewhere, and this woman is explaining the reasons why she is doing that.

    I don't think there is any dem candidate that has a chance at all. This is because the things that disqualify so vastly outweigh the things that might be qualifications, for all of them. The candidate I find most logical in the dem field is Tulsi, but logic isn't carrying much appeal in her party. I think we are looking at a sort of clusterF*** campaign fight among dem candidates, to be followed by a crash and burn election.

    We will see if the same radical, violent, uncompromising, hate mongers are running the show during this general election, are the same people who were rioting and beating Trump supporters in 2016. If they repeat their antics, then more people will leave the Democratic Party. Isn't it about time the slave party, the Jim Crow party, the party of hate, finally goes away?

    Well, if they do not burn and crash stuff during the general election, they sure as hell will after the election.
