After rallying around Biden’s candidacy on Super Tuesday, the Democrat establishment are grinning from ear to ear.
They think by convincing virtually every other candidate to drop out, Biden will easily defeat Sanders and allow the party to focus on President Trump.
But Trey Gowdy just went on Fox News to drop a truth bomb that left Democrats stunned.
Bernie Sanders appeared to be running away with the Democrat nomination until Biden’s commanding victory in South Carolina.
Just three days later, after the Democrat establishment rallied around Biden as their man, Biden went on to win 10 out of 14 states.
While the Democrat elites were still patting themselves on the back, Trey Gowdy went on Fox News to point out that while Biden may be winning handily right now, no one on the Left was over-enthusiastic about voting for him.
“Among my Democrat friends, I don’t sense a lot of passion about Biden. It was an obligation. It was like watching all the people open Christmas gifts. You got to do it,” Gowdy explained. “He had to win . . . I mean, you and I watch sports. It’s a game that you’re expected to win and you had to win.”
Elections are contests of base mobilization.
When it comes down to it, enthusiasm matters. And generally, the candidates who inspire supporters and fire them up to go out and vote win elections.
At President Trump’s rallies, tens of thousands of supporters will show up – some even camping out overnight to ensure they get the best seats in the house.
On the other hand, Biden’s rallies seem anemic by comparison.
Sparsely attended, Biden voters aren’t inspired by Biden, their support is just because they think Biden stands the best chance to defeat Donald Trump.
Both the Republican and Democrat establishments repeatedly try nominating “electable” candidates.
John Kerry in ’04 and Mitt Romney in ’12 both took on sitting Presidents their supporters thought were beatable only to see the incumbent handily win re-election on the strength of a fired-up base by turning out overwhelming numbers on Election Day.
Go trey
What foolishness and bias by someone like Gowdy, who chose to get out of Congress and yet sticks his nose in whenever he can. If he is so interested, why did he quit his office?
But that is a minor point – – thing is that Gowdy is, as usual, WRONG. The Democrats are greatly enthused, and the evidence comes from looking at states like Michigan primary, where Biden defeated Sanders in much greater numbers than Hillary did in 2016. Plus minorities are very enthused about Biden, more than Hillary. But, you know what the main reason they are enthused and also pulling together? They are all enthused about getting the criminal and pathetic Trump out of office! Look at the numbers in the primaries – – even with the threat of COVID-19 in the recent three primaries. Last time in 2018, when the Democrats were this enthused, the created a blue tsunami that caused a Democratic take over of the House. Now, expect a bigger tsunami to come in 2020, because most people are not thrilled at all with Trump and it shows in the data.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE DONE IN AMERICA AND THE ENTIRE PARTY SUCKS. AMERICA WILL VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP A POTUS THAT TRULY LOVES AMERICA AND WILL LEAD THE COUNTRY BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE CORONAVIRUS. THE STOCK MARKET WILL ROAR BACK AND EVERYONE WILL GET BACK TO WORK. AMAZON, WALMART AND GROCERY STORES ARE ALL HIRING.
The media has painted the President in false & unfair ways. Many who meet Pres. Trump know he’s not a liar nor a phoney; he’s kind, compassionate, loves this nation! He puts USA first! Lives have improved under his amazing leadership! He gave up a retirement of ease & walked into the lions’ den; daily attacks are unwarranted!
QED: not only is Biden Senile and if he wins he will not be able to fulfill his Presidential duties so who ever he elects VP will step in and I believe that the dems Elite have that someone ready to go, so you are all supporting Biden but in reality voting for a unknown Persons to be President, as to Gowdy he is a American citizen and has every right to speak his mind look at all the Hollywood clowns who spout there Garbage on a daily bases along with Communist News Media. I do believe that most Democrat Voters & Party along with with the Media suffer from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) unfortunate there is no Vaccine for that. I believe in America first
I just wonder what the size of the check Bernie received for bowing out of the race? Delivered by Obama no less. From one Commie to another commie. Does that mean that Moochelle will be on the ticket as V.P.?
Ellison keep drinking the cool aid you are a victim of TDS for sure even if Bribem were to pick big mike everyone will know it would be another term for little Berry the worst president ever in history that tore this country apart destroyed the military high unemployment bad economy funding our enemies funding drug cartels not protecting our boarders and total corruption of FBI CIA
along with the communist agenda of the so called democrat party who it’s plain to see they are totally anti American and hopefully destroyed in 2020 if not I see a civil uprising in America and it would be very ugly
TRUMP 2020 SEMPER FI U.S.M.C.
How does any of this make news? For a man whom claims “facts matter” he sure does not seem to have any.
QED, I don’t know how much you pay attention to what was happening in our government but from all that I heart and watched, Trey Gody was one of the more intelligent senators in Washington and it was a real shame to hear that he was leaving Washington to spend more time with his family.
One of America’s most talented and honest individuals to serve in politics, Trey Gowdy.
AMEN!!!
Gowdy has these Commie Democrats figured out like reading a Newspaper in daylight. He sees what is happening and lets us know where it is heading. The Communist Party are now the replacements for the Democrat Party.
Maria LeBreton – You are so right. Why do these Liberals want Communism? For the life of me, I cannot figure this one out. President Trump loves America and its legal citizens. He puts country first. Is he perfect? Of course not, but neither are you, GED, me, or any other person on this earth. Wake up GED. Read the honest news channels and learn the REAL STORY!!!!
Those politicians that want to see any form of Marxism implemented in the USA should either leave the USA within 30 days or be labeled traitors and be given a necktie party.
