The Michigan primary just told us everything we needed to know
Last night we saw the Michigan primary election play out, and suffice it to say that President Joe Biden ran through it like a steamroller. He got about 80% of the vote, with also-rans like Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson only getting about 2% of the vote each. When you’re winning an election by 78 points, it’s such a dominant performance that it reads like a typo.
This came in spite of an idiotic effort on the part of some stupid local Democrats to get primary voters to write in “uncommitted” in protest of… well, no one knows. These are the worst people on the left, the ones I’ve been warning you about for nearly a decade, who are more interested in looking self righteous than they are in winning. But their little stunt didn’t accomplish anything. When anyone is getting 80% of the vote, that’s the story.
And so the Biden freight train continues plowing forward in dominant fashion, even as it mostly gets ignored by the media. The media’s framing of all this is also shameful, but it also doesn’t matter. The media doesn’t vote. People do. And regardless of how the (entire) media (on both sides) keeps trying to convince everyone that Joe Biden is somehow non-viable, he just keeps dominating.
You can contrast that with Donald Trump, who only got about 60% of the vote in Michigan yesterday. This comes after Trump got about 60% of the vote in South Carolina, about 50% of the vote in New Hampshire, and about 50% of the vote in Iowa. Now that’s a problem, given that he’s running as the de facto incumbent within his party. Everyone knows Nikki Haley is toast, and the rest of the field has dropped out, yet Trump still can’t muster more than about half of the primary vote within his own party. The other 40-50% of Republican primary voters don’t want Trump no matter what, and would presumably be voting for Elmer Fudd right now if he were the only other name left on the Republican primary ballot. This translates to real trouble for Trump in any general election scenario. Not only will a lot of Republicans stay home instead of voting for Trump, a significant number of them will vote for Biden instead of Trump.
Keep in mind that Trump was only polling at about fifty-something percent in the Republican primary race before his senility got so bad that the media started making a big deal out of it. The results we’re seeing thus far in the early primary states are without Trump’s senility really being factored in yet. The more coverage that his senile moments get, the worse his numbers will likely get.
Of course now that Joe Biden is utterly dominating in his primary race and Donald Trump is facing serious questions in his primary race, we’ll just be given some other reason why we should sit around and fret about how Trump finally has us right where he wants us. As long as enough of you are willing to sit and stare at this kind of performative doomsday crap, the media will keep feeding it to you.
But as for the rest of us, we’re clearly holding a winning hand. Our guy Joe Biden is seeing overwhelming support and solidarity from his party’s voters. Their guy Trump is struggling mightily to get his party’s voters to rally behind him. And their guy just happens to be a senile man whose first criminal trial begins in three and a half weeks.
