We sit in mid-January, just shy of 10 months prior to the 2020 election. The first primaries have yet to occur, but Democrats are already claiming Trump and Republicans are stealing the election. At least that’s the suggestion going into the Senate impeachment trial this week.
In an article, Noah Berlatsky suggests that the Senate trial will determine if the 2020 election is fair for voters. He claims that the reason for the impeachment is that Trump is attempting to steal the 2020 election. He uses this report from The Washington Post that attempts to debunk the Trump accusations against Biden. The problem is that the prosecutor has said he was investigating Biden, but the media refuses to admit this.
Other portions of the “debunked” accusations have also come out as true in recent months. But the Democrats do not want to focus on those things. They would rather continue to have the narrative focused on Trump and Republicans. Why? Because they are concerned they cannot win in 2020.
He continues to support his argument regarding the e-mail scandal with the DNC from the 2016 election. Obviously, he completely ignores the Steele Dossier that was funded by Clinton in order to attempt to smear Trump. This action is acceptable if you are a Democrat, but not if you are Republican.
The writer also states that Russian interference helped swing the election to Trump. There’s just one issue here that is worth talking about. Democrats have cried for months about how Trump illegitimately won the election due to the electoral college. He did lose the popular vote, so if Russia interfered they didn’t do a great job giving a defining victory for Trump.
The left continues to struggle with the fact that President Trump exists. It kills them that the proposals Trump put forward during his campaign, such as being pro-life, lowering taxes, securing our border, etc, were what the voters want. They cannot understand how people don’t want a government ran society. Even Berlatsky says this in his article as he outlines that the Democrats are trying to make a “freer” America. You will only be “freer” under Democrats if by free you mean government ran programs.
He then blames Republicans for not playing fair. He attacks suggestions such as voter ID laws and how these laws are “racist” against black voters. Unfortunately, these laws apply to all voters. So no one is discriminated against. I brought this up on the podcast over the weekend about how North Carolina’s law provided for free ID’s for voting. It’s simply not good enough.
The only other thing for Democrats to do now is to blame Republicans and Trump for interfering in elections. They cannot figure out another way to beat him. Rather than going back on their policy and looking at what the majority of Americans would want, they want to continue to push their radical socialist agenda. This is a failing idea.
The reason Joe Biden is the front runner for Democrats is that he is more moderate than anyone else. I know this comes as a shock to some, but a moderate candidate could potentially beat Trump. I think it would be challenging and difficult, but it could be done. But rather than figure out how to win, they simply want to cry foul.
The Democrats have played their hands. Their proposals are unpopular with the majority of Americans. To continue down this path will secure a Democratic loss. They know this, so their solution? Start claiming the Republicans fixed the election. The one that hasn’t even happened yet.
