It is taking all I've got not to be . . . . . [View all]

. . . . . overconfident.

I have NEVER seen a presidential candidate set the entire political world ON FIRE so quickly.

AMAZINGLY, the Democratic cats have been herded (including the righteously angry childless cat ladies) in a party membership ready to enthusiastically rock and roll.

I have never seen a campaign's coffers swell as fast and as full as now.

I have never witnessed former Republican rank and file members and activists endorse a candidate of ours so quickly and so full throatedly.

I have never seen young people move from Meh to I'm Voting.

I have never seen Dismal Don at such a loss for words and insult names as he is now. Nothing but childish taunts and recycled insults as he struggles for attention.

Rare are the days the DEMOCRAT was the one consuming all the oxygen in the room. But there it is. Non Stop!



Maybe this is simply the boomerang for the despair some felt for Biden's campaign. But I don't think so.

This feels REAL.
