The DNC Convention Is the Election by Tom Luongo!

For nearly a year it has been my primary thesis that the DNC nominating convention would determine the fate of the presidential election here in the states. These four days may, in fact, be more dramatic than any Democratic convention since 1860 when incumbent James Buchanan was tossed aside to ensure a lawyer with railroad ties from Illinois, Stephen Douglas, squared off against Republican Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln was also a railroad lawyer from Illinois. Just saying.

The convention is less than two weeks away and serious questions about the Democrats strategy should be plain to see for anyone who pays even cursory attention to presidential politics.

How can they possibly run Joe Biden?

It is not that Joe Biden has not been a good soldier for the empire, he has. It is that he is unpresentable as a candidate in public. The evidence of his cognitive decline, which has accelerated in recent months, mounts every time he fails to even read a teleprompter correctly.

The only thing the Democrats are united on is their hatred for Donald Trump. But that hatred cannot be an animating principle to base an election strategy on, though, to this point, they certainly have tried.

Internally, there has been a three-sided war on for control of the partys future. There is the Boomers, represented by Hillary Clintons faction, who lost spectacularly when she backed a male version of herself, the profoundly disconnected and unlikeable Mike Bloomberg, as a stalking horse to pad her delegate count.

There is the frustrated Gen-Xers, represented by Barack Obama who was supposed to lead the party after his two terms as president. Joe Biden is his representative and was the clear winner in the primaries as the candidate who theoretically could swing the center of the country away from Donald Trump.

And then there is the Millennials, represented in the primaries by Bernie Sanders and the so-called squad. They are led now by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whose goal is to kick out all of these globalists and remake the party as the vanguard of a United States cultural revolution.

None of these people are acceptable to the center of the United States who today, no matter how hard they are being gaslit to believe, ultimately blame Donald Trump for their current problems.

And Barack Obama pressed for Joe Biden to be the candidate. He finally beat Hillary for nominal control of the party, getting his candidate through the primary miasma.

You can not blame a President for a natural disaster, but that has been the Democrats strategy all year with COVID-19. Whatever Donald Trump said or did in response to the virus was wrong, even if that meant exhibiting blatant hypocrisy or openly contradicting previous positions.

In fact, this has been the Democrats strategy since before Donald Trump took office and it has made them look hysterical and irrelevant.

So, with the convention less than two weeks away the big question is who Joe Bidens running mate will be. The fact that he has not chosen one yet tells you that they have no strategy for actually winning the election other than trying to steal it through mail-in ballots.

Because none of the potential candidates can do what the Democrats need a vice-presidential candidate to do, deliver a key battleground state.

For Joe Biden, given the rapidity of his decline, the V.P. pick has the added burden of actually being the President for most of the elected term, because the convention will make it clear to the world that Joe Biden will step aside for health reasons no later than mid-2021 if he wins.

But, more pressing for the Democrats, is the fundamental problem that in order to beat back AOCs Squad and keep Hillary bound down, they are now saddled with an unelectable candidate and a platoon of potential running mates who are wholly unacceptable to either the DNC establishment, the country at large or both.

Whoever tunes into the virtual convention will realize almost immediately that this time, more than any election in the televised era, when filling in that ballot in November you will be voting on the qualifications bottom half of the ticket rather than the top.

Moreover, since Joe Biden has declined so quickly the odds of an internal coup against him occurring at the convention in Milwaukee is high. It is why the New York Times is now calling to cancel presidential debates. It is not because "never made sense as a test for presidential leadership." It is because, though the writer doth protest too much, everyone knows that Donald Trump will wipe the floor with Joe Biden.

In fact, I would argue debates between Donald Trump and Joe Biden will be so lopsided they would work to Joe Bidens advantage as people who see Donald Trumps attacks on him as "elder abuse." Donald Trump would have to actually tone down his persona in a way I am not sure he is capable of doing.

But I digress.

The other factions within the DNC are sharpening their knives as I type this. Hillary will go in filled with all the bile her gall bladder can still produce to thwart the potential ascension of any other woman to the presidency before her.

AOC and company will go in with Bernies delegates and play spoiler. Barack Obama will try to figure out how to hold his new-found power together while Joe Biden, frankly, drools on himself in the corner.

And that may be the most damning image of this pathetic and sordid affair I can muster.

Joe Biden should have already stepped aside. He should have already accepted the gold watch for his service and moved on to the great globalist golf course.

But instead he is being abused by cynical, power-mad ideologues desperate to avoid not only their own malfeasance, i.e. Obamagate, but have one last shot at delivering the United States back into the hands of The Davos Crowds move towards their Great Reset.

It is clear that this election season has been about prepping the stage for the campaign season that puts so much pressure on Donald Trump to perform miracles that United States of Americans simply reject him as incompetent and will accept anyone other than him as President.

In Milwaukee, no matter what happens, we are going to find out just how incompetent his opposition truly is.
