WINNER OF THE DEMOCRATS’ FIRST TWO DEBATES? PRESIDENT TRUMP

PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY JULY 3, 2019) — They couldn’t fit on one stage, so 20 of the 24 trying to win the Democrat Party’s nomination for president found themselves on two stages, two consecutive nights.

THE PLANET‘s first question concerns timing. We’re eight months before the first primaries, and we have this? We ask a rhetorical question, given how politics has become a continuous run for election or re-election. This holds true on all levels, even in backwaters such as Pittsfield, Mass., where, for example, the moment the new district attorney gets office, she sets as her first priority the fundraisers designed to keep her there. The People’s business can wait.

Of the Dems’ 24-pack, can you imagine being the four lightweights left out? We have $500 in Monopoly money for anyone, including the four, who can name this quartet. As for the dreaded others, organizers treated the electorate to the A and B teams. The scrubs went first, and the only significant matter decided was the determination that Megan Rapinoe has more testosterone than Pete Buttigieg.

Buttigieg.

We bet he does.

Oh, and Beto O’Rourke answered the first question of the first night in Spanish. It was the worst case of pandering since Deanna Ruffer told Linda Tyer the Tyler Street garbage cans were “dynamic and vibrant.” THE PLANET to O’Rourke: You’re in America. We speak English here.

———- ooo ———-

The A-Team included such household names as Eric Swalwell and Andrew Yang. If these are the big guns, Trump can retain Mulligan as his caddy on the golf course. He won’t break a sweat. There are only four names worth noting as we move to death throes of the 2020 election: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren.

Biden — Syracuse grad. 40 years in the Senate. Eight as VP. The party’s young radicals want to turn that into “too white, too old, too male.” That’s how out of touch the party’s “new” thinking is, insisting on beating themselves up over peripheral issues such as race and gender. Biden stayed above the fray. He adopted a presidential strategy when the other nine tried to gang-tackle him. Despite what the Mainstream Media wants you to believe with their reporting, Biden walked away untouched, and all the national polls still show him in the lead. He’s the only Democrat with a shot against Trump.

Harris — If you didn’t know it already, she reminded you: She’s black (sort of). She’s female. She plays the race card from both sides and the gender card from the bottom. In an obviously rehearsed rant, she took aim at Biden, starting with: “I do not believe you’re a racist.” Harris then told him he was the biggest racist since Boss Bull. She claimed “That girl is me” in a tall tale about busing, leaving out her wealthy upbringing in another country. Harris may be flavor of the month, but like all fads, this one has a short shelf life. What a phony.

Sanders — The Mad Scientist of the bunch and the most entertaining. He zealously flogs “democratic socialism,” a phrase that, ironically, sounds to the ear like Germany’s “national socialism” of the 1930s. On many levels, THE PLANET would love to see him facing Trump next year. At least he stands for something, though, according to the party’s acolytes, he’s another one too old, too white, too male.

Warren — Granny of The Beverly Hillbillies but without spring tonic. Solid on the stump but only when she’s preaching to the choir. Her “home-spun” act comes off as an embarrassing “Please, like me. Like me, please oh please.” The faux Indian (the Fukcawee tribe) should cut her losses, endorse Biden, then stump for the ticket’s number 2 spot.

———- ooo ———-

President Trump had the best review of the debates: “Boring!”

The precise moment Trump won re-election came when the candidates were asked who supported free, 100% health care for illegal aliens. Everyone shot up their hands. Trump, as usual, had the last word: “All Democrats just raised their hands for giving millions of illegal aliens unlimited health insurance. How about taking care of American citizens first?”

Game. Set. Match.

The winner was Trump. I thought that Bennett, Delaney and Hickenlooper had the best ideas but were clearly not relevant given how far left the Democrats have moved. I’ve encountered real anger over the positions that illegal immigrants be granted immunity from prosecution and be given healthcare. This is more than one nail in the Democrats coffin if they don’t disavow this– as Harris already has.

But the first primary will be just after the SuperBowl and the NFL hasn’t even gone into camps yet. The electorate has eight months to think about all this.

Harris should be ashamed for pulling race card as well as booker. Biden is a has been who has foot in mouth disease and can’t keep his hands to himself especially with females, kinda like Trump.

I’d rather have Biden be nominee but he better not dare pick Harris after what she pulled as veep. I fear it won’t matter because I expect he’s done.

Trump lost the popular vote by a record margin of millions of votes.
Trump then lost the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
Yet, according to Dan Valenti and his followers, Trump will easily win reelection in 2020 because the Democrats are too far left on the issues.
What has Trump done for post-industrial America? Record budget deficits, and a huge national debt. Rising tensions in the Middle East, especially with Iran. Personal friendships with Russia’s Putin and North Korea’s brutal dictator. A border crisis with Mexico. Economic Inequality!
I believe it will be a close election next year, but Trump has his problematic issue, too.

That’s why the electoral college that the far left wants to get rid of is so important. The far left in high population areas like the Northeast and California would determine the outcome of future elections. That is mob rule since the voices of people in other lower population areas of the country who tend to be more conservative, or even moderate Dems, would be shut out.

Political candidates would only concern themselves with the issues of the people in these high population areas and would care less about the needs of the rest of the country since they wouldn’t need them to win any election. Not good!!!

They are racist. If you are uncomfortable with the moniker, well don’t be racist… simple as that.

I, personally, am aghast at the childhood naivety and even the racist attitudes I had at some points in my life. I’m embarrassed and ashamed. I admit that those poor choices are offensive and as an adult I contribute both to my profession and my community in ways that put non-males and non-whites on more equal footing. I believe in reparations, not because I feel guilt, but because it is the right thing to do.

See Jesse Smollette for racist accusations that became an issue. There are way to many false racial accusations flying around and unfortunately has hurt those who truly are victims of such claims. Obama was elected twice and it was the white voters who made it happen. So white folks are suddenly deemed all racist since Trump’ election?

Lieawhatha will take your tax money to give healthcare to criminal aliens, along with free housing, and food.

Then give them drivers licenses, and a better welfare subsidy than Americans.

She will steal your money Americans, to line her nest, the globalists, and the criminal aliens she loves so much.

Bernie is the most honest about being a socialist, but they are all socialists. Only socialists, including Biden, would cheer on giving free healthcare for life to illegal immigrants which they know encourages even more to come to our country. Then the far left can complain about the horrible conditions on the border that they are helping to create.

Key words Shakes – ILLEGAL immigrants – they have broken into our country in violation of our nation’s laws and are NOT entitled to any healthcare. The Dem clowns running for president seem to have no knowledge of our nation’s laws.

For now, flagship federal health programs remain off limits to all but U.S. citizens and legal residents. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance and the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, or ACA. Congress even forbade unauthorized immigrants from buying ACA coverage with their own money.

America doesn’t slam the door completely. Federally funded community health centers provide basic medical care to the uninsured without asking immigration questions. Hospital emergency rooms are required by law to treat and stabilize all patients, with government subsidizing the cost. Some states, like California, use their own funds to cover children regardless of immigration status.

We accept people into our country Johnny Absurd and always have. We just want them to come here legally. We are not responsible for what happened in the early years of the settling of this country. Just like we shouldn’t feel guilt for something that happened hundreds of years ago in our own families. That is Absurd Johnny Absurd.

We are different people. We are NOT our relatives and we are NOT responsible for anything that was done in the past by bad people in the country…it’s totally out of our control. All we can do is be our best selves today. We do not forget the past, but we do not dwell on the past. That is not healthy!!!!!

Looks like Stockbridge is getting it from all sides.
Lawsuit by Chuckie for the FD, allegations by chuckie of open meeting law violations by the two of the selectmen, sexual harassment allegations by Town staff, now their town admin is moving to Richmond. She just went from one unethical mess to another, Richmond is just as bad, just smaller.
West Stockbridge hired an unqualified town clerk as their town admin so I guess there is that.

Actually Kerwood learned how to work the system while city councilor in Pittsfield (for way too long). He was a key shill in the push for the CIVIC AUTHORITY which was a GOB attempt to wrest what little power the people had left from them.

In the end they just revised the city charter and got their Civic Authority by sleight of hand. Sad that this is the kind of government we send kids to fight and die for. Just sad.

I watched the first two Left Winged Parrot contests for the Grand Cuckoo of 2020.

I found that each one of all 20 stooges had no concerns for American laws nor American citizens. Open borders, government services for criminal aliens, no enforcement of existing laws for these criminals. They want to turn the USA into a 3rd world hole.

Is this the best the DNC has to offer?

Harris playing the race card and outright lying about her being “bussed”. Creepy feely Joe. Lieawhatha Warren, Socialist Sanders, the “guy” from South Bendover IN, Gun grabbers galore, “greener” than Al Gorebot, “Beavis” O’Rouke not using English,……..

Let’s look at the candidates:

Best chance Biden
Got beat to the ground by Obama and Hillary. He didn’t make it out of the first round.
Hillary in turn got beat to the ground by Obama. She was at 41% and Obama was at 17% and she LOST!
So Biden got beak by a second rate Hillary. Why is that important? Because Trump beat Hillary, soundly, where it counts in the electoral college where the win means everything. The presidential election is not a popularity contest.

Sanders
No chance. He’s a bubble candidate. He’s rabidly loved by those who follow him, has zero traction with most of America.
He’s also extremely flawed by his “do what I say, not what I do” mentality. His wife is nearly criminally flawed and brings tons of baggage as well. The guy is also OLD!

Harris
Good for a sound bite, but once you start dissecting her rhetoric, she withers. Might make a good VP mercy/affirmative action pick, but not much else. We also haven’t seen the full extent of her skeletons and I’m told she has a few career enders.

Warren
Zero chance, she plays to her sycophants but no one else.
No real ideas, and any ideas she has would cost billions to trillions off the backs of the middle class.

The rest aren’t even worth discussing. They are all fighting to get out of single digits.
