Now that Joe Biden’s politically weaponized DOJ has scored an “own goal”, the prospect of another four-years of the Donald stumbling around the Oval Office has become decidedly more real. After all, how can the White House puppeteers successfully peddle “Joe Biden” to even the sleep-walking American public after his own DOJ has certified that he is utterly lacking in compos mentis, as per the report of the special counsel, Robert K. Hur, himself:
In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013, when did I stop being Vice President?”), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice president?”). He did not remember even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.”
So whether they like it or not, Republican voters and the MAGA faithful need to face an uncomfortable truth: Donald J. Trump is a fake economic conservative who will only further impair the cause of constitutional democracy and capitalist prosperity if he is given another term. And that means there is only one possible way to arrest the flow of history into the very bad place it is now heading via the farce of Trump v. Biden, and from which there is likely no return. To wit, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must find a way to gridlock the Electoral College and pull a rabbit out of the hat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
And, yes, the latter could very well happen by the time we get to the severe national crisis that would ensue in January 2025 upon a hung jury in the Electoral College. For the first time in exactly 200 years, the selection of the President would be thrown into the newly elected U. S. House. There, in turn, California and Wyoming would count as equals via the novel but constitutionally prescribed method of voting en bloc by state delegation.
As it happens, the US House is nearly evenly divided between the parties—with 26 delegations having a GOP majority, 22 having a Dem majority and two evenly split. That obviously could change depending upon the 2024 House elections outcome, but the two currently split states point to a further potential curve ball. To wit, still another layer of hung-jury conditions could ensue on a purely partisan splits within one or more of the 30 state delegations, which were apportioned an even number of seats in the 2020 census.
