We know how it is "supposed" to go ... multiple candidates
from both big parties are supposed to stump through each
state, debate each other, shake hands and kiss babies (ok,
not so much since covid (and keep Joe away from kids)).
Big rallies, music, BBQ, lights and cheers and jeers.
The MSM will follow them like The Dead, looking for every
flaw or speck of dirt and blab onabout it all week long.
High energy until November.
But not THIS time.
2024 is WEIRD.
The primaries are basically OVER already, haven't even got
to N.H. yet. Dem contenders are basically non-existent and
the initially fat GOP slate whittled down to just TWO within
days after Iowa.
The party candidates were already winners from the get-go.
No one can contest Biden, no one can really contest Trump.
Haley remains as a sort of counter-balance to volatile
Trump, but nobody sees her beating his figures unless
The Don does something ridiculously damaging or has a
stroke or something. Joe snd Don are "well-known" to
the electorate - not too much either can say that we've
all not heard before.
Trump WILL still have big rallies ... but it's more the
narcissism in his character, and salesmanship skills,
driving it. Joe might get out of the basement a few times
and tell a few whoppers but mostly he wants to hide from
his record.
The real 'primaries' will be behind-the-scenes politics,
the party officials and such plotting the November
strategy. Maneuvers and backstabbing and lining up
the Big Money interests.
So - mid January - it's ALL OVER until November. The party
machines have nothing to do. The MSM shills will have to
get second jobs at Mickey-D's to pay the bills. It will
be one of the most un-exciting elections in memory.
