Dick Morris does a lot of Trump–fluffing, but he also does plenty of Biden-bashing as well. He spent a Jan. 31 column concern-trolling over the Biden campaign:
Joe Biden and the Democrats have to make a move.
He’s losing badly in all of the swing states and even trailing in the national popular vote.
The Democratic Party has got to do something.
I see four options:
1.) There could be irregularities.
2.) They could insert Michelle Obama as a candidate at the last minute.
3.) They could incite a national panic about the COVID X strain of the virus.
4.) They could mount the equivalent of an Orange Revolution of mass street demonstrations to stop Trump from taking office.
The one thing they won’t do is go quietly in defeat within the current ground rules of our democracy.
Yes, Morris is still going on about the idea of Obama becoming president, never mind that she has repeatedly stated she has no absolutely interest in the job:
The Democrats may proceed with their primaries pretending that Biden is their candidate. Then, weeks before the convention, they might well push Biden aside and nominate Michelle Obama instead.
They can’t nominate a white candidate like Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., because Blacks will not let them pass over Vice President Kamala Harris for a white candidate.
But … there would be no objection if they choose Michelle Obama instead.
Michelle would have instant star power and lots would love the idea of the first Black woman president.
But, the more people get to know her positions on things like reparations, no bail, open borders, racial separatism, Critical Race Theory (CRT) and affirmative action, the former first lady will wear badly.
However, a last-minute surprise nomination might deny us the opportunity to get these issues out.
So we need to flag the idea that she might run early on to deter or defeat her candidacy by planting such issue land mines in her path.
And Morris is projecting by accusing Democrats of ginning up violence:
Democrats are already trying to whip up national hysteria about the 2024 elections and the danger to democracy supposedly posed by the reelection of Donald Trump.
Such incendiary tactics, which include the Jan. 6 prosecutions, may be the precursor of a master plan for an American version of the Orange Revolution that toppled the communist/corrupt government in Ukraine in 2004.
By using massive, months-long street demonstrations to paralyze major cities like Washington, D.C., and New York, the left may try extra-legal and unconstitutional means to stop a Trump inauguration.
Biden could use his control of the military to make such a “soft” revolution logistically possible.
More likely the Democrats will try all four measures sequentially.
If they can’t, through irregularities, win election 2024, they may move to Michelle Obama.
If that fails, they could attempt a pandemic panic, or an Orange Revolution.
But rest assured they will never go quietly into the night.
Of course, Morris didn’t mention that the person who is on record as inciting an attempted insurrection against an elected government is … Trump.
Morris served up more conventional anti-Biden fearmongering in his Feb. 22 column complaining that Biden had “terminated a Trump administration policy that helped identify smugglers and human traffickers.” He then spent a March 7 column trying to ramp up expectations for Biden’s State of the Union address (while, yes, invoking Michelle Obama yet again):
Tonight’s State of the Union speech assumes the nature of an audition Biden must pass to continue his race for re-election.
Democrats worry that he can’t deliver a speech, even with a nearby teleprompter, without stumbling and screwing it up.
Tonight therefore poses a test Biden must pass to be the Democratic candidate for president.
Michelle Obama, the leading alternative to Biden, issued a bland statement yesterday saying that she is not a candidate this year.
But that statement shouldn’t convince anyone.
She did not deliver it in person but through her director of communications.
We could not look into her eyes to judge her real intent.
We know that she, Hillary Clinton, Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., and the rest are all for Biden until they are not.
But the plain math of Super Tuesday shows that any Democrat who is willing to bet his bottom dollar on Biden is delusional.
With seemingly degenerative mental and physical conditions, Biden will only get worse.
So the State of the Union speech gives Biden a needed chance to assert that he can complete a simple English sentence.
His problem is only compounded by the fact that his audience won’t believe much of what he says even if he does manage to get it out.
That skeptical audience includes Morris, who would trash the speech no matter what Biden said (like the rest of Newsmax’s talking heads) — indeed, he was part of Newsmax’s post-speech coverage. And that’s exactly what he did in a March 12 Newsmax TV appearance:
President Joe Biden dug in against his “predecessor” in a divisive State of the Union speech, but presidential campaign adviser Dick Morris on Newsmax that he made a campaign speech because former President Donald Trump is splintering so much of Biden’s base.
“He’s going to have to change his vocabulary and just start calling Trump his successor and not his predecessor,” Morris told “Saturday Report.”
“It was a terrible speech. Its tone was awful. The State of the Union speech is an opportunity to lead the country not to divide it, and he just absolutely missed it.”
But Morris noted to host Rita Cosby that Biden is facing a precipitous fall in the 2024 presidential campaign and his speech smacked of some desperation.
Not unlike the desperation we’re feeling from Morris about his constant Biden-bashing and Trump-fluffing.
