American politics is a Ponzi scheme and
that’s how Michelle Obama could become the next
US president

March 05, 2020 "Information
Clearing House" - The Democrats have promoted a long list of
pretenders to the throne, like Beto, Buttigieg
and Bloomberg, only to watch each one flame out
spectacularly. Has all the empty hype been mere
dress rehearsal for the main attraction?
In every Democratic debate, the elephant in the
room came in the form of a question, ‘Do the
Democrats really think they can beat Trump with
this rogues’ gallery of political hacks?’ If
they aren’t too young and inexperienced, like
the ex mayor of South Bend, then they are too
old and feeble-minded, like the lead candidate
who just declared he was running for the US
Senate. If they aren’t a bald-faced liar, like a
certain fake native American, they are a
brutally honest socialist who freely admits he
will confiscate your hard-earned earnings once
elected.
From the beginning, the Democrats
have been desperate to make up for what they
lacked in raw talent with sheer numbers. They
flooded the debate stage with a record-breaking
29 candidates, many of them virtual unknowns
(Moulton, Inslee or Hickenlooper, anyone?). Just
three of the pageant’s contestants are still
standing today: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and
Tulsi
Gabbard, who, with her single delegate may
actually get to participate in the debates
again. Elizabeth Warren has
reportedly dropped out of the Democratic
presidential primary.
What is most startling about this cycle’s
nomination process, aside from the Iowa caucus
fiasco, is how lightning fast the political fortunes
have turned. Just last week, it looked as though the
horse race would come down to a photo finish between
Buttigieg and Sanders.
That did not materialize, of course, and here is
where the US political system is beginning to
resemble an elaborate Ponzi scheme whereas Americans
'invest' in a particular candidate only to have that
person jump ship, forcing their supporters to go
with the next ‘investment’ higher up the food chain.
