Victor Davis Hanson: Gaming The 2024 Campaign
American Greatness | 15 Apr, 2024 | Victor Davis Hanson

Will Biden’s feebleness still earn him sympathy? Or will it devolve to the point that the public concludes that Joe Biden would not be able to keep any job in America—except the U.S. Presidency?

We have seen enough of the Biden-Trump race so far to predict what lies ahead over the next seven months of the campaign. Currently, the polls are about dead even. Trump, however, for now enjoys small leads in the majority of the fickle swing/purple states that will likely decide the election.

So here is what we should expect:

Biden

Biden has three major vulnerabilities and three major assets. His fate will depend on how these criteria play out.

First, on the negative side of the ledger, Biden suffers continual mental and physical decline, which is accelerating exponentially. His work week is now more off than on. Aides pray that he can get through a teleprompter without complete incoherence. His speech is so slurred, his syntax so bizarre that he seems to speak a language that is mostly indecipherable.

They rightly fear that any young attractive woman or even preteen might earn a trademark Biden weird call-out, a hair- or accustomed ear-blow, or even an attempted presidential too-long hug or neck nibble.

Steps pose an existential threat, given that the president is one trip away from oblivion. Biden is not even the diminished Biden of 2020, when, in his basement, he at least manipulated the COVID-19 lockdown to mask his infirmities and abbreviated schedules.

The odds are 50/50 whether Biden will even make it over the next five months to the August Democratic Convention. And, assuming that he does, can he rein in efforts to push him off the ticket?

Second, the Biden family is corrupt. Hunter still faces spring- and summer-long felony exposure…

Knocking it out of the ballpark:

Joe Biden’s pandering in Michigan is reaching the point of obscenity and if continued will be counter-productive. For each Muslim-American voter he thinks he can keep by abandoning Israel and protecting the agendas of the October 7 killers and kidnappers, he is going to lose two voters appalled that fellow-Americans in Michigan are now calling for death to America. Biden is so confident of the Jewish-American vote and donor class that he is now siding with those calling for the absolute destruction of the Jewish state and everyone inside. Is he convinced that his Jewish base is permanently in tune with Chuck Schumer—or will it finally have had enough?

The old myth that being anti-Israel had nothing to do with being anti-Semitic is now exposed for the lie it mostly always was.

Life’s tough. Deal with it.

This is what Mika would look like if she were younger and sexier.

And then there’s this:

She looks like she knows her way around a kitchen. Which Mika probably doesn’t.

1. No cop ever said “I smell wine on your breath, with just a hint of a bouquet of blackberry.”

2. Those grapes need stomping, and I’m wearing just the boots to do it.

3. Grapes grow on beautiful sunny vines, not in a stinky chemical broth in a brewery or distillery vat that mobsters die in.

4. You can impress your date by knowing the difference between reds and whites.

5. 50% alcohol, if you slip the waiter a twenty.

6. Girls will order six glasses of wine, but not six boilermakers.

7. Pairs well with fish, chicken, beef, and putting your sportcoat on inside-out and leaving your credit card behind on the table.

8. Useful for changing the color of your shirt.

9. She looks like Pussy Galore when sipping it, and acts like her, too, later.

+ Note: If you order wine and say “Shaken, not stirred,” you will look like an amateur.

10. Waiter can usually buy a new car when you’re through.

11. But prices start at $1.09.

12. If you order champagne — a type of wine — be careful. Mess you up.

13. A wine flute differs from a musical flute in ways that scientists still haven’t discovered.

14. If you drink enough wine, the city, state, or county will help you go on a diet.

15. Joe Biden will sound just like you.

16. All women will start to look like MaryAnn and/or Ginger. And who doesn’t want to live in that world?
