Democrats Again Prove They Cannot Think Even One Move Ahead

It’s often the case that the Democrats are the ruthless party and Republicans are the dumb party, but sometimes the Democrats give the Republicans a run for their money when it comes to stupid. This is one of those times.

Democrats have launched a nationwide campaign to strip Donald Trump from the ballot in the presidential election based on the allegation that he was an “insurrectionist” as a result of the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. The word “insurrection” was used by Nancy Pelosi the day after the riot, which proves that the entire insurrectionist plot was planned in advance by Democrats.

Under Section 3 of the 14^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, insurrectionists who took an oath as officers of the United States are barred from seeking Federal office. That was designed to prevent Confederates from becoming Senators or Representatives after the Civil War.

It has rarely been used since the 1870s, and the last time it was used at all was a 1931 court case, which the government lost. The candidate seeking election won and was reelected for several terms. So, Section 3 is practically a dead letter.

Never mind. The Democrats are bringing it back to keep Trump off the ballot. Challenges are pending in about 20 states.

If Trump is kicked off the ballot in even a few states, it could tip the election in favor of Biden. Smart move by Democrats, right? Not at all. It has backfired in the Democrats’ faces.

The two states where Trump was kicked off the ballot, Maine and Colorado, involve decisions headed to the U.S. Supreme Court that are likely to be overturned with Trump put back on the ballot. Meanwhile, Trump’s standings in the polls go up every time the Democrats try another desperation play like this.

Republicans are fully mobilized to fight all kinds of election fraud including ballot harvesting, drop boxes, unverified mail-in ballots, rigged voting machines and much more. The 14^th Amendment ploy confirms the Republicans worst suspicions about Democrat election-rigging and causes them to go on the offensive to stamp it out.

Democrats are stoking so much outrage that they’re practically guaranteeing that Trump will be the nominee. That’s not good news for Democrats because far from being easy to beat, Trump is ahead of Biden in the polls, especially in the swing states.

So, yes, the time has come to take the Dumb Party trophy out of the Republican’s trophy case and plant it firmly in the Democrat trophy case where it definitely now belongs.
