Newsom for President in 2018 - Update

BBC News: Reports the following,  " California Governor Gavin Newsom has commuted the death sentences of all 548 people on death row in the state, changing them instead to life in prison. "

Let's Get Real:

This is purely political by Newsom, he is running in 2028, the left of the Democratic Party will be impressed! If you want to impress them!  The Republicans will be happy, they will go on that the Governor is weak on crime, Newsom has stated he won't run if former former VP Harris decideds to rum again.  The there is AOC, well known as a leftie.  This is just the start, you will hear more names, 2028 Presidential race is just beginning.

The 2028 Race - Update

CNN: Reports the following, " Possible Democratic and Republican contenders are hitting the midterm trail in states that just happen to hold early presidential contests. "

Let's Get Real:

There will be no Trump on the ticket in 2028, the first time since 2012 and Romney challenged President Obama.  The Democrats have had female nominee's who went on to lose, Clinton in 2016 and VP Harris in 2024, will they  chance their luck again and have another female nominee, Former VP Harris might run again, but this time she will face a contest from Democratic Governors, her advantage is that she does not have to defend President Biden, she can throw him under the bus this time.  Also the Democratic Nominee will have to run on his/her promise for the future.  The campaign can't just be about how bad Trump is, the American people want hope for the future.  On the Republican side VP Vance is the leading candidate, he has to worry about what Trump will say or do, the Trump Oval will want to be part of the news cycle, keeping quiet is not part of the Trump persona.

Hunter Biden on Former President Biden - Update

Guardian: Reports the following, " Hunter Biden talks about how his father’s cancer has spread and is causing him pain .....Joe Biden’s prostate cancer is reportedly ‘debilitating’, even as ex-president continues to speak out on public issues "

Let's Get Real:

One feels sorry for the former President, but there are limits, even his former VP has stated in her memoirs that it was reckless for Biden to run in 2024, it is reported that his Politburo White House thought that Biden would need a wheelchair in his 2nd term if elected.  That they would have to shown signs of life after 6 months to the press.  This is up there when President Woodrow Wilson had a stroke at the end of his term and the 2nd Mrs Wilson was the effective President.  There is also JFK's ill health and affairs that the press did not cover.  There is a trend here folks, Democratic liberal Press and the failure of the press to cover Democrats who are President.  If press had covered Biden at the start of Administration with same vilgance it covers Trump he might not have run in 2024 and we could have had President Harris not Trump in the Oval.

Former VP Harris and the 2028 Presidential race - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.59pm post the following, " Kamala Harris says she has "not made a decision" on potential 2028 run "

Let's Get Real:

It would be surprising if former VP Harris becomes the Nominee again, she lost it 2024, this blog can only think of 2 Presidents who came back from losing the general election, they were Nixon in 1968 after losing in 1960 and Trump in 2024 who lost it 2020, whatever he says on the subject.  In 2028, the 1st Democratic Primary will be South Carolina, a large African American vote, that should help Harris and Senator Booker.  The former is not a good candidate, one hopes the Democrats chose a moderate nominee like Bill Clinton or Obama at a push, the 2028 cycle should start after the Mid Terms, there a long list of potential Democratic candidates.

The Biden Tapes - Update

CNN: Reports " Newly released Biden audio recordings include references to ‘classified’ material and struggles with memory "

Let's Get Real:

The tapes show why the Special Prosecutor did not bring charges against President Biden, the tapes showed he knew he had classified documents and told his ghostwriter that fact.  There is also fading memory, this shows that the Prosecutor was right.  This does rise an interesting question, who is writing Biden's Presidential memoirs, from reports its a mighty 500 page memoirs.  That is a hundred pages per year of the Biden Presidency, will he tell the complete truth about him losing the plot, how his inner staff protected him and thought he would need a wheelchair in his 2nd term if he got re-elected.  How he had a disastrous debate with Trump, and how the Democrats pushed him out, who had bloody hands in the affair.  The central question should he have run at all for a 2nd term.  VP Harris thought it was a mistake! The Democrats are trying to write Biden out of the picture before 2028.

Dr Jill Biden's Memoirs - CNN Review

Noted: Am getting Dr Biden Memoirs on Friday from local book shop, support your local book shop.

CNN: Reports the following, " Jill Biden’s rosy if not blindfolded ‘View from the East Wing’ "

Let's Get Real:

The review in one word is DAMAGING.  Even CNN won't protect the Bidens.  The reviewer wrote a scathing book about the Biden Campaign in 2024, no punches are held.  JOE BIDEN should have not run 2024 and left the Presidential race to late to HELP VP Harris.  The former President had declined to much to run for a 2nd term.  If had dropped out at an early stage then there could be Democrat in the White House today.

Former VP Harris might run in 2028

CNN: Reports the following, " I Know what it requires’: Harris on why she’s thinking about running for president in 2028  "

Let's Get Real:

This not a great idea by the former VP, that what happens when people close to her do not tell her truth, she was  not a great candidate in 2024, and she did not face challengers, VP was given the nomination by Biden, after his disastrous debate performance against Trump.  There is also the issue that women have created their own glass ceiling, they do not want a woman President, never mind men.  AFTER the Mid Terms in November, the 2028 cycle starts.

VP Vance to Pakistan for talks with Iran - Update

Fox News: Reports the following in a post, " Vance heading to Pakistan for negotiations about Iran this weekend, White House says "

Let's Get Real:

Thus if the ceasefire survives in till Friday, POTUS is sending his VP to Pakistan for talks with Iran.  The VP is known to have opposed the War with Iran.  The VP wants to run in 2028, the anti war base of MAGA, will want a deal.  The Oval wants any blame for failure to go to Vance, that is the point of VP's to take on unpopular issues, VP Harris had the border, Bush 41 had to deal with Ross Perot when he came to complain to the Reagan White House about the perceived issue that Vietnam was still holding American POW's from the Vietnam War.  President Reagan knew that Bush 41 knew him thus give the negative job of telling Perot that he was wrong to his loyal VP.  The aftershock was that Perot ran against Bush 41 in the 1992 Presidential Election.  The Gipper was wise, any problems send in the VP, thus no political hassle for the Oval.   Thus a major job for Vance and his career ambitions to be POTUS.

Democrats and 2028 - It has started very early -Update

Fox News: Reports " Josh Shapiro claims Kamala Harris' team asked if he was a 'double agent for Israel'Excerpts of Shapiro's upcoming book claimed the 2024 presidential candidate's team asked about his ties to Israel "

Lets Get Real:

The sanity of the 2028 race for the Presidency, and for the Democratic Nominee, the front runners so far, Governor Shapiro and former VP and 2024 Nominee VP Harris.  Governor Shapiro has come out fighting and making Harris squirm for 2028, it seems that the Harris team asked in 2024 if the Governor had ever been an agent for Israel, who would ask that kind of question, what was the mind set, and why has Shaprio told this story, 2028 is few years away, but the Governor wants to start making waves, and how and why Harris lost in 2024.   The former VP blamed former President Biden has his debate and late withdrawal from the race,  also she stated in her memoirs that Governor Shapiro wanted to be co-President, not just Vice President.  The VP's memoirs are worth a read, more fun when former candidates are more truthful than you would expect.  Thus Shaprio wants his named as of the front runners for 2028, if WW3 does not happen by then, you cannot tell with Trump.

Former VP Harris Critical of the Venezuelan Operation.

Sky News: Reports in its 11.32am post that former VP Harris has been critical of Trump's Venezuela operation.

Lets Get Real:

Former VP Harris is showing why she lost to Trump, CNN and other liberal outlets are going on about International law, that is fine if the operation had gone badly, the Oval Office JUST has to point to the pictures of Maduro in cuffs doing the perp WALK in New York.   International law is fine, but when a operation is a big success, you cheer the Delta Force that captured Maduro and hopes the story fades.  As stated in previous post this is the year of the Mid Terms, one can see the adverts NOW, those that supported Trump and the Democrats who are more interested in the rights of drug deals.  Do the Democrats ever LEARN, or are they jus Doves by nature, and not to be trusted with National Security.

When VP Harris was angry with President Biden - 2028 Update

CNN: Reports that former VP Harris has admitted she has a complicated relationship with the former President, there were times when she was angry with him.

Lets Get Real:

This blog could never see Bush 41 being that frank about Reagan or Biden about Obama.  VP Harris blames Biden, her campaign staff for her loss in 2024, she does not seem to get the fact that outside California she might be a BAD CAMPAIGNER, even Obama from news reports had doubts about her in a general election and wanted her to fight for the Nomination rather than be given it by the powers that control the Democratic Party.  HARRIS is running in 2028.

VP Harris is concerned she did not ask Biden not to run 2024 - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that former VP Harris is concerned that she did not ask President Biden not to run in 2024, she did not think he could manage it against Trump.

Lets Get Real:

The former VP states she was not concerned about Biden's capacity as POTUS,  but that he could not run an effective campaign in modern politics against Trump.  The former VP can not bring herself to throw Biden under the bus, worries about what he will say when his book comes out and who he will support in 2028, that is a long time away!! The tradition is for runners for the Oval to wait in till the Mid Terms have passed, that might be a bad political mistak, Harris should head to Iowa and New Hampshire early, the opposition to her will start early.

Former VP Harris might run in 2028 - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that Former VP Harris has stated she might run again in 2028.

Lets Get Real:

HARRIS is running in 2028, she almost announced it an interview with the BBC.  Thus Iowa and New Hampshire can expect a visit from the former VP, one would expect just after the 2026 Mid Terms.   IF Trump47 has not declared himself President for Life before 2028!!!, one can expect VP Vance to run, a third Trump term, as Bush 41 did in 1988, a third Reagan term.  That would be a test for POTUS, can he pass the torch to his successor,  can he equal Reagan.

What will former VP Harris do next? - Trump47

CNN: Reports on the book tour done by former VP Harris.

Lets Get Real:

Either Harris is burning down Rome, sorry the Democratc Party because she has given up politics or she is running in 2028.   The former VP has been honest that it was reckless for Biden to run in 2024, that any success she might have had was seen as negative by Biden's West Wing, that Biden called out her perceived disloyalty before her debate with Trump, that her campaign let her down sometimes, so yes Harris is trying to blame everyone else for her defeat to Trump.  Thus main problem this blogger has found is that she never moved beyond her base, no move to the centre, and she was to loyal to President Biden.   If Harris had been more open in her campaign as she is in her book, she might have won.

US at Crisis Point after Kirk killing - President Obama- Trump47

BBC News: Reports on remarks by former President Obama on the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Lets Get Real:

President Obama is great at rhetoric, and has charisma to spare, but it was a mistake to say such remarks with President Trump on a State Visit to the UK, if nothing else it will annoy Trump, who has a very thin skin to insults from Democrats, and from Obama specifically.  Lets recall that the American people had a choice of a third Obama term in 2016 with Hillary Clinton, and they elected Trump45, Obama  left OFFICE with a 58% approval raring in a Gallup poll, well behind Reagan on 63% and Clinton on 66%.  Also Reagan saw his VP became President, Bush41, no two term President following has had that success.  BIDEN was thrown out by his own Party.

Biden Reckless to run in 2024 - VP Harris

CNN:  Reports  "Kamala Harris says it was reckless to let Biden make reelection decision on his own "

Lets Get Real:

The VP is looking for someone to blame, she has such a short period to get her campaign ready and she also complains that the White House did not see her as part of the team, she suggests that her success would have been a success for the President.  One can not think that Bush 41, the most loyal Vice - Presidents in history making such remarks.  It could be that former VP Harris is thinking about 2028, she would be able to say that she did not get a fair crack of the whip due to the late drop out of Biden after the debate.   At the end of the day its down to the President should he run again, Nancy Reagan did not want Ronald Reagan to run for 2nd term, but Gipper wated it and it was successful with the exception of Iran - Contra, the Cold War came to end in Iceland, almost all nuclear weapons were nearly banned, Reagan was more of a dove than people give him credit for.  Within a year of Reagan leaving Office, the Berlin Wall came down and then the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, under Reagan's chosen successor, Bush 41.

2028 Race Starts - Trump47

Sky News: Reports that President Trump has revoked the secret service protection for former VP Harris.

Lets Get Real:

Everything is political folks, 2028 Presidential race is about to heat up leading to 2026 Mid Terms.  The former VP has not ruled herself out for 2028, if she runs she will face VP Vance, he will hold the Trump torch.  Thus far this blog is not impressed with the Democratic bench, VP Harris might be a safe bet for the Nomination.

VP Harris to write book on 2024 Election - Trump 47

CNN -  Politics: Reports former VP Harris is to write book on her failed campaign in 2024.

Lets Get Real:

The article notes that VP Harris will not run for Governor of California in 2026, thus it allows her to run again 2028, when Trump term comes to a near end with the Presidential Election in November.   This time there will be a real challenge for the Nomination, and Harris will be seen as a LOSER, after losing to Trump in 2024.  One can bet that Trump whoever he supports on the Republican side, will try and make her a two time LOSER.

US Supreme Court nealy makes Trump a KING- Trump47

BBC News:  Reports that the US Supreme Court has given  more authority to Presidential orders than individual Judges.

Lets Get Real:

The left who see liberal Judges as a way to stop POTUS, are furious, there is no Democratic leader, Biden is seen as senile, while Obama keeps his head down, VP Harris is thinking of running for California Governor in 2026. TRUMP is not King, but he is close, Democrats need to wake up and find a new leader for 2026 and 2028.

Biden has Aggresive Prostate Cancer - Joe Biden Era

BBC News: Reports that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with Aggresive Prostate Cancer.

Lets Get Real:

One has to ask have they caught it in time, what were his Doctors doing during his Presidency, could it have been caught at an early stage.  The American people have the right to know, was his ill health known and they did not dare to investigate it, as it was an election period.  ONE hopes the former President can get through this, OUR King is also fighting Cancer, it will effect most men in their lives.
