re: #76 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Matt Gaetz said tonight that he will run for president in 2024 if Trump doesn’t run. “I am certain I can whoop Joe Biden up one side of the country and down the other.”

Karl Rove stated along time ago that if you just maintain an alternate reality long enough, it will get picked up and treated as if it had validity.

And that worked marvelously for them up until recently.

Now all the bloviating and bravado is not holding up and propagating itself at the rate they are used to.

In fact, it is being exposed as totally ludicrous and unfounded.

If you listen to the winds in the dead of night, you can hear the inebriated cries of GQP staff howling the same words over and over again: “He wasn’t supposed to win!” He was a joke, a sideshow attraction, a carnival barker that was just supposed to whip up the yokels into a froth when Hillary won. He would lose, the party would have a good laugh at his expense, and then they’d get back to the business of screwing over the country while they waited until 2020.

Even if you go back to those early days after Election Night ‘16, you can see that the party was in denial of what their base had served up. They thought that they were getting another Dubya, another dimwitted meat puppet who was there to sign bills and look stupid in front of the cameras. They never thought for a second that they were going to spend 4 years being treated as the underlings of a wannabe mafia don.
