IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND, THE ONE-EYED MAN IS KING (He Checks all the Boxes)
Mark Kelly, Arizona Dims’ incredibly flawed, perfectionist, overachieving US Senator, checks all the boxes for America’s retarded Jackass Party. I predict he’ll pull off the nomination in a cakewalk. Mainly because the other choices are so wretched.
Not only do the Dims have the leanest bench of other competitors since the American Civil War; the ones they do have are so absolutely fraught with malfeasance, wokeism, and grifting, it’s truly a miracle they’re not in prison, or a mental institution.
Mark Kelly actually brings a level of accomplishment, technical & scientific expertise, and that oh-so-important patina of American military righteousness to the equation. Hey, it works in Arizona, just look at the late “Johnny Warball” McCain, warmonger extraordinaire.
Fortunately for America, if Kelly gets elected, he doesn’t have the reputation of never seeing a war he didn’t love to fight, like McCain the Admiral’s boy, who Arizonans forget is buried next to some Navy chum back in Annapolis.
What Kelly has that might be problematic, is Jimmy Carter’s engineering naivete that politics is all left-brain sport, i.e. logical and mechanistic. That costs the Georgia peanut farmer dearly, even if he did drive a submarine.
Arizona’s Kelly as 21st Century Goldwater? Like all engineers (am married to one) Kelly is tight with money. In his case, which is a perpetual competition with his identical twin, money & status have now supplanted mere technical accomplishments, which Kelly mastered in spades. But so did Scott Kelly, his twin. Engineers see money as energy, to be conserved and applied usefully, which in the nonlinear, nonlogical, ambiguous world of politics, has always been something they can’t get their heads around. Just ask Jimmy Carter.
RIGHT NOW, Kelly had better spend some of his vast political capital, for AZ Dims’ faltering Hobbs-Mayes Gynocracy, or else the wimmen-folks won’t forget it in 2028. Think hordes of cat-ladies on the warpath.
For the rest of the Dimshevik Party (nee Democratic), the only other possible candidate I can see at this point is stealth political operative Rahm Emanuel. Emanuel has 3 major weaknesses right off the bat;
- He is the ex-Mayor of Chicago, a city Americans have come to regard as this giant urban failure, a multi-racial breeding farm that’s constantly murdering one another, and home to Illinois’ Jewish political gang, the billionaire Pritzkers, same bunch that gave us Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama. Who incidentally, is just now opening his presidential library, which appears to be some kind of brutalist, architectonic, penis-shaped mausoleum, that even Trump couldn’t help lampooning. (hey, the man does know good design)
- Speaking of being Jewish, which Emanuel certainly is (one brother is a serious Hollywood big shot), his candidacy would be immediately suspect in its relations with Israel. Americans are very leery now. After a quarter-century, beginning with 9-11, the twin Middle East wars of the Texas-Bush-tag-team combo, and now “Iran, the Sequel”, with first JD Vance grinding on Netanyahu for overselling it, and 3 weeks later Trump screaming at the Israeli PM…..American public opinion is on a razor’s edge about Israel. That would not work in Emanuel’s favor no matter how hard his Hollywood hitsquad tried to sell it.
- Finally, Emanuel cannot run as a true DC outsider; Kelly can. Emanuel was Staff Chief in the Obama Administration: Swampy! Swampy! Swampy! Need I say more?
Dims’ best bet with Emanuel is to market this guy as the true “2nd Coming of Obama”; sure as hell wasn’t Biden or Harris. All the little Donkeys will eat it up faster than conservative comedian Rob Schneider’s infamous bowl of poop.
As for Kelly, I sense the guy already knows all this; he is after all, one Helluva overachiever. Lord save us.

I’m going to assume you have spoken with some sort of sarcasm. If not, god help us if that freeloading POS riding on Gabby’s coattails, is even considered for that nomination!
