Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | "This is Fear:" Bill Kristol Desperately Brainstorming Ideas for Getting Biden Out of DebatesI like how he portrays his desperate brainstorming sesh as just a stray, off-the-top-of-my-head "innocent thought:" @BillKristol Just an innocent thought: We've seen Biden in office for over four decades, and we've seen Trump nonstop for the last four years. We've seen enough to make up our minds about them. So let’s skip the presidential debates but have three vice-presidential debates.Just an innocent thought: Based on his extraordinary change of personality and addiction to twitter, I think Bill Kristol knows well the symptoms of an old weak man whose brains are turning to garbage. Just another innocent thought: He sees the same symptoms in Biden, only more advanced. And still this corrupt nepot, grifter, and egotist pushes a demented man for president.

The whole reason why they wanted a "woman of color" for Biden's running mate wasn't to shore up the D. ticket. They're planning on pulling Biden off the ticket after the first debate in favor of Kamilla, because the only way they can possibly win is by putting a "historic female canidate of color" at the head of the ticket to try and pull in votes that way.

I am worried that Pence is going to go down the "kind gentleman" route.
If it were me I'd ignore whatever question they asked me and just ask Kamala how much Weinstein paid her for a get out of jail ticket. Posted by: 18-1 at August 12, 2020 02:05 PM (qlFIA) ------------- VP Pence will be the sober, reticent and experienced person we've come to expect. Kamala will come across like the whiny entitled POC we know she is. Bless her heart.

A tree is known by the fruit it bears.
The neverTrump movement has had three and a half years in which to bear fruit. What has been the result? NeverTrump candidates are awful. NeverTrump prognostication is egregious. And as for NeverTrump policy ideas? Not a one. Lest I tar with too broad a brush -- i still read everything I can find from Kevin Williamson. Jonah, not so much, but I honor him for some very good past thought. Mitt Romney would be better in some cabinet or statewide role. That is where he has racked up solid wins. But the NeverTrump movement as a whole? Not worth the energy it takes to ridicule them. NeverTrump is a ideological dead end. It should have been recognized as such from the start -- from the word "Never" in the label. It belongs on the scrap heap of political philosophy, along with Marxism, the OWS movement, and the BLM movement. Posted by: Sweet Lou at August 12, 2020 02:14 PM (4DuI9) 163

Kristol and Freddy "The Beetle" Barnes... you knew what they were going to write before they wrote it, so what was the point of reading their stuff.

Friend, I worry about what will happen if Hillary Clinton is elected president. Her scandals should disqualify her from ever holding a political office -- yet Democrats want to elect her to the highest office in the land. Imagine the poisonous trickle-down effect it would have on our democracy if she is elected. A Hillary Clinton win, in essence, would be granting her a free pass for her illegal and corrupt behavior. The situation would be even worse if we fail to protect our House majority. Imagine how bad it would be if Hillary Clinton came into office with Speaker Nancy Pelosi... And with only 76 days remaining until the election, we're at a serious disadvantage. Will you stand with me and make an emergency donation to fight back against Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi?

There is a huge difference between the Biden/Ryan debate and the upcoming Pence/Harris debate.
Biden is, or at least was at the time, a likable plain spoken guy. It was an act, but it was well established. Harris is not likable in any way. She simply cannot laugh at Pence, or openly ridicule him like Biden did to Ryan. Likability won that debate for Biden, and Harris has none of it.

17. Name a person who helped you advance in your career. Willie Brown 18.

I was thinking about Pence vs Harris yesterday. Not sure I'd bother
tuning in. His delivery is dull and -- I don't even remember, but probably rote -- and hers is nasty. The "moderators" would see to it that 95% of it would be on abortion and gay marriage. - posted by Blonde Morticia ======================== Bring it on. This political cycle, if 95% of the questions were on social issues, the Dems lose bigly, America is clued in on the Marxist rioting going on in the big cities. If Harris focuses on abortion and gay marriage, it will hurt her with minority voters, Enough Black children are being killed in neighborhoods without adding in the abortion carnage. The Dem Party is the Party of Death. I think the 36% LV Black job approval number for Trump is legit.

There is a huge difference between the Biden/Ryan debate and the upcoming Pence/Harris debate.
Biden is, or at least was at the time, a likable plain spoken guy. It was an act, but it was well established. Harris is not likable in any way. She simply cannot laugh at Pence, or openly ridicule him like Biden did to Ryan. Likability won that debate for Biden, and Harris has none of it. Posted by: Nick in Tallahassee at August 12, 2020 02:18 PM (svbBD) Mere hours before the debate, someone in a trench coat showed up to Ryan's dressing room (yes, he spent hours in his dressing room), gave him an envelope with pictures in it, and told him "we have the negatives." That's not going to happen with Pence. Posted by: BurtTC at August 12, 2020 02:21 PM (hku12) 204

It's hard to tell if conservative pundit William Kristol was being serious or just wanted to mess with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump when he tweeted a promise over the weekend that a conservative third-party alternative to the billionaire would soon declare interest in the presidency. "Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate--an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance," he wrote.

>>Sure, the die-hard Republicans will marvel at Pence's poise and wonder how anyone thinks the general public would fall for her drivel. Yet they will. It'll be worse than Biden vs. Ryan.
I don't remember Kamala's zingers from the Democrat debates. There was the one where she claimed to be bused -- ". . . and that little girl was ME!" - but what else? She was very stiff and awkward, laughing at her own jokes and doing the cringey attempted hip stuff. The debate where Tulsi came at her hard she just shriveled. I bet she's getting a lot of coaching to overcome that. We'll see if Pence is likewise prepped for hitting her in ways that resonate with Democrat voters, such as her abuse of power as an AG (progressives haaate that) and grossly appropriating he American black experience as her own (e.g. claims that she was bused).

Really, he's pushing Kamala for POTUS -- because nothing says "conservative" like a person who hates the US Constitution such that she openly advocates for (1) getting rid of the presumption of innocence (Kavanaugh); (2) getting rid of the 2nd Amendment via Executive Order; and (3) rounding up your political opponents to destroy them (yes, she actually said that after defeating Trump it would be time to round up all his supporters to get them because 'they betrayed us.')
Kamala is and has always been the Obama/Valarie Jarrett/DNC choice -- don't you remember how she was hailed at the beginning of the Dem primaries? They didn't count on the fact that once people got to know her better they would reject her so resoundingly that she would be forced to drop out BEFORE Iowa. That's when the came up with Plan B -- force all the other candidates to drop out and endorse Biden, so that he could get the nomination without having to actually debate/campaign for it, install Kamala as his VP, and get her in the oval office within a year. That sounds like a conspiracy theory -- but it's a fact. Posted by: Venus at August 12, 2020 02:23 PM (iYXhj) 214

When he was on the Sunday talk shows, he was able to push back on a lot of the nonsense thrown at him fairly well also, and he kept on-message as well. Not sure that he would have the killer instinct to destroy Kamala (he had a more 'sorrow than anger' response to Buttigieg's calumnies against him as Governor), but I think that his basic decency is a nice counterpoint to the attack-dog that Kamala would have to bring to the table. On top of that, all Pence needs to do his tout his executive experience. As governor and VP, he has far more of it than Kamala (which is nonexistent).

Not sure that he would have the killer instinct to destroy Kamala (he
had a more 'sorrow than anger' response to Buttigieg's calumnies against him as Governor), but I think that his basic decency is a nice counterpoint to the attack-dog that Kamala would have to bring to the table. The bulk of the general public doesn't think that way. They don't care about decent nearly as much as they want a fighter. That's why we have Trump. If Pence doesn't match her shot for shot, he loses. This isn't Reagan's America, and hasn't been for a long time. "Oh Kamala, there you go again" ain't gonna' cut it.

This. There's also the wildcard Kanye. I don't think he'll confront her much, but he gets in the way of the MSM's narrative re: Kamala being the voice/candidate for blacks. And he's openly Christian, too. On on side you have defender of Planned Parenthood and sex-is-career-empowering Kamala, and on the other you have not just Pence (the Left's caricature of an old, white Chtian dude), but a famous hip-hop celebrity who is talking about spiritual/cultural values in a way that no one else is. In particular, Kanye's recent remarks on abortion - not just being distraught over considering aborting his own kid, but about how the abortion is destroying the black community.

No way would the Democrats let him debate. Posted by: rd at August 12, 2020 02:27 PM (+0uDE) I don't think there's any doubt they WILL replace him. It's just that we can now check off "before he names a Veep candidate" from our scorecards. Will he make it to the "convention?" Will he make it to the "debates?" Will he make it to November? Will he make it to the Inauguration? Will he survive his first year in office? All valid options. Posted by: BurtTC at August 12, 2020 02:46 PM (hku12) 343

More importantly, it EXACTLY depicts the current Marxist/Maoist woke mobs being used by funded professional revolutionary cadre and their equally bought political allies. The excuse then was US cruise (GLCMs, which I worked) missiles in Europe. Antifa is 100% Marxist and funded by the Soros wing of the EuroRevolutionary fags and BLM is a direct descended of the Chinese funded Black Maoists. 100% dedicated to the utter destruction of America and The Dream.

Americans love a fighter and they don't mind a nasty one. That's the edge Harris has. But there is good news for Pence - he works for one of the best at this game. If Pence can practice against Trump until he just holds his own, he'll do fine against Harris.

>.Trump hit Hillary right between the eyes and she didn't expect it - he won each debate on points even though he didn't always have his facts straight and sometimes wandered.
One of the biggest killshots for me was the abortion question in the 3rd debate. Hillary was asked about late-term abortion and she launched into her scripted PP response that went on for 3 or so minutes about 'I've talked to families, and it's a hard decision, and it needs to be between a woman and her doctor blah blah blah'. Then Trump: "Killing a baby as it's being delivered? It's not right. It's just not right." Trump won, and typically wins, when he sticks with reacting how a normal person reacts vs. and carefully worded, poll-tested response. THIS is why Biden can't debate him -- even if they've working w/the moderator to script his answers, they have no idea what Trump will say. Posted by: Lizzy at August 12, 2020 02:50 PM (bDqIh) 361

=== The Republican Party has effectively run the clock out on PDT's first term. It is only a slight exaggeration to say that they blocked everything but the tax cut. They organized a mass resignation with loud PDT protests to hand the House over to the Dems to use against PDT. They were and are in on the coup. They are blocking investigation of the coup. They are working against PDT's reelection. They will play along, if they fail to elect Biden, with a two-year minimum uproar after PDT's reelection and "honestly" "concede" that PDT has no mandate. They will insist that it is unAmerican for PDT to do anything his eighth year because "we" should await a mandate from the next election. NeverTrump is winning.

So, Trump could be looking to pretty much repeat his numbers from 2016, and election season hasn't even really started. I swear, the naysayers who based their naysaying on polls in June should have seen this coming.
I don't trust the damn polls either. I trust the anecdata around me. My anecdata says Trump has lost no support, and gained some over 2016. My anecdata says working blacks are less than amused with the DNC right now. What I'm seeing is both the GOP and DNC tanking. Trump is simply not seen as part of the GOP. He is an entity unto his own. If he formed a third party after leaving office - I think it would take off. Posted by: Lowest Common Denominator at August 12, 2020 02:59 PM (+Iexe) 404

Don't have timie to see what everyone's talking about but have to report my first serious run in with a Karen I am the only person swimming in the pool when another woman comes into the pool area. She is pretty fat and all covered up but proceeds to set up a chair and takes stuff off to reveal a little bikini on her fat white body. Never gets in the pool. I had been chatting with the lifeguard who is a young black college kid before she arrived and as I got up to leave, started a conversation about the construction cranes that were all around the roof top pool. Neither of us have a mask on. Neither does she and she is all the way at the other end of the pool.All of a sudden, he looks at me and says she just took our picture obviously to report us to the management. I put on my mask and left and the lifeguard walked out muttering he hoped the rest of the day went better. What is wrong with these people?

Kamalala and Joe combined couldn't fill a teacup full of brains. He is gone, and she is such a goddamned lightweight. That's what bugged me most about her, she would giggle and laugh, and not give any substantive answer to anything. This is going to be fucking hilarious. Posted by: Rev.

Not sure of the exact variety of rattler. Probably Southern Pacific or Southwestern Speckled. Will ask the animal control guy when he gets here. Could easily kill it with a spade shovel, but meh, might as well have him moved to a nearby county park (I think they just dump them there).

So yeah, I hope they're planning every possible contingency. At this point they're likely to do anything, and everything we've been seeing seems like dry runs for November 4. Posted by: clutch cargo at August 12, 2020 03:10 PM (Tinfoil hat firmly on) I still believe that the COVID-19 stuff has all been a test to real-life war-game -- as opposed to the virtual wargaming at Event 201 -- how much they could get away with before the American public revolted. Sadly, 5 months in, still no revolt. So yeah, I think everything is on the table for the Left with regards to getting rid of Trump in November. And the "siege" and man shot during the presser and now the shot taken at the helicopter are all part of the recon work being done for some bigger plan. And, like you, I hope the President's security are doing everything they can to plan for all contingencies for his protection from now through at least January 2025. Because the Left is clearly taking the "by all means necessary" mantra seriously now. If they will deliberately crash the economy and murder thousands of Americans in nursing homes, while inciting multiple domestic terrorist groups antifa and Burn-Loot-Murder, there's no telling what evil they have planned next.

All Mike Pence needs to do is bring the subject to something heartbreaking and tragic. Pence will use his standard quiet, disappointed face and seem compassionate and vaguely Christlike. Kamala will have to respond about little kids being murdered or whatever with a plastic botox smile frozen to her face, and look like a crazy person or monster. Debate over.

There are a couple of other Kristol tweets out there today; he's wondering why Truman (elected in 194 didn't debate Joe McCarthy whose anti-Communist crusade didn't start until 1950, or Ike, last elected in 1956 didn't debate Robert Welch who founded the John Birch Society in 1958.
