With President Trump set to veto everything they do, the Democrats’ path to the White House in 2028 is lined with gold. All they have to do is pass a zillion populist measures, maybe even Medicare for All, and then argue that the Republicans — as evidenced by Trumpian vetoes — are against them. Voila! “Here comes Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus, Right down Trumpy House Lane.” Can you imagine the inauguration? They’ll celebrate in the Trump Ballroom! The main caveat for the DemoFiends is if they go overboard on the investigations and impeachments and skimp on passing legislation for Trump to veto. Otherwise, the Dems should be in great shape. A secondary, and corollary, caveat is if the Centrists (that’s an oxymoron for the Dem Party) and the Leftists get bogged down in intraparty feuding and get little done. However, I see success even if they do prove to be unfit for governing. I also see AOC as the head of the 2028 ticket, with either Mamdani or El-Sayed as her running mate, probably the latter to avoid a NYC-NYC ticket.

I’ve had it up to the gills with Donald Trump and his egomania and self-serving politics, but I also know that the Democrats have only one goal: Absolute, eternal control of the nation and the end of the Constitution. Therefore, in this week’s election, I voted solidly anti-Dem. Not so the rest of the country, which fell prey to base instincts and judgments, ignoring what the future might hold under Demofiend control. For starters, the fiends are going to stack the Supreme Court, so only their viewpoint prevails for eternity. In addition, they’re going to make Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia states, giving them four more Senators and eternal control of Congress. Of course, they’ll have to wait until 2029 to do these things since Trump will veto them through 2028. Once they’ve elected a leftista president, which at this time in history seems almost a guarantee, here comes the end of democracy. After this week’s debacle for the GOP and for the future of the nation, I take solace in Winston Churchill’s immortal observation: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

Right after the election, rumors began swirling that Marco Rubio, Trump’s secretary of state, would be leaving the administration. His departure would make sense by giving him almost two years to remove the stain that Donald Trump and his arrogance have inflicted on those associated with him. JD Vance has already started to try to distance himself from Sir Donald by blaming the election debacle on Trump’s war with Iran. Say goodbye to any endorsement from Trump when JD seeks the presidential nomination. Rubio, if he can shed the Trump imprint, looks to be the most solid of GOP presidential hopefuls come 2028. He is mainstream conservative, not too extreme nor too hesitant, and he’s engaging and likeable. He’s also managed to steer clear of the Iran debacle as diplomatically as possible. Were he able to disengage from the administration now and begin building his credentials along with a movement for a presidential bid, Rubio would be formidable. If he stays, the stain will become more indelible. Another consideration: Should he leave, Trump will lambast him to the hilt and paint him as some kind of disloyal egomaniac, much as he did to his first vice president, Mike Pence. JD
