The Democrat Victory Plan 2020

This is the Democrat Victory Plan for 2020 (h/t with thanks):

Democrat Victory Plan

Historically, this is known as the Algerian Strategy, used in the Algerian Civil War.

I do not think it will work, but expect the chaos to continue.

dear Churchmouse, except one thing: I don’t think they hope for Biden to win outright. I think they are focusing totally on the down ballot races so they can pull something like what they did to Nixon,. Namely, somehow force Pence to resign (as Agnew did, remember him?). Then threaten Trump with the line of succession now being Nancy Pelosi is #2. Clarify that the only acceptable VPOTUS replacement has to be acceptable to the Donkeys also. As Gerald Ford was. This time, perhaps Romney. When he is approved, then Trump’s days are numbered. Many ways to do that. Then they have a president they really LIKE. Not bumbling Biden. Electorate totally cut out. And with luck, electorate forgets the rape, same as everyone forgets that Gerald Ford and Rockefeller were POTUS and VPOTUS without one vote. I think that’s the plan, and that is why Bernie spends all his time on the downballot races. House and Senate strength required for this stunt.

Thank you, friend, for the insight.

We will see in due course.

Another factor is Joe Biden’s running mate — crucial to the contest ahead.

Yes, I do remember Spiro Agnew. Somehow, it seems unlikely that Pence will resign or be tossed out. I could be wrong, but he’s been okay thus far.

Let’s keep communications open on this as events develop.

I greatly admire your perspectives.

All best wishes to you and yours.

What could they force Pence out for? What is he alleged to have done?

Nothing in most people’s eyes.

Four years ago when he came into the campaign fresh from being the governor of Indiana, the Left made a big deal out of him allegedly being anti-LGBT. They also did not like the fact that he is pro-life.

From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pence

‘Upon becoming governor in January 2013, Pence initiated the largest tax cut in Indiana’s history and pushed for more funding for education initiatives. Pence signed bills intended to restrict abortions, including one that prohibited abortions if the reason for the procedure was the fetus’s race, gender, or disability.[7] After Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), he encountered fierce resistance from moderate members of his party, the business community, and LGBT advocates. The backlash against the RFRA led Pence to amend the bill to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and other criteria.’

As formerdem said in the comment: ‘somehow’.

The difference, IMHO, between Spiro Agnew and Mike Pence is huge. Agnew made a number of controversial statements during Nixon’s first term, with which Americans with common sense largely agreed. He was pretty much in the public eye, unlike Mike Pence who also appears on telly (e.g. the coronavirus briefings) but sticks to the script or says next to nothing.

In Agnew’s case, the Left rooted around in his home state of Maryland and found a charge that would stick.

This is, in some ways, similar to what the Left in France did to François Fillon in early 2017, when he had been topping the presidential candidacy polls for two months.

Here is part of the story of Agnew’s ‘somehow’ leading to his political demise, which occurred in 1973, after Nixon was re-elected in 1972:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew#Criminal_investigation_and_resignation

‘In early 1972, George Beall, the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland, opened an investigation of corruption in Baltimore County, involving public officials, architects, engineering firms, and paving contractors.[161] Beall’s target was the current political leadership in Baltimore County.[162] … As part of the investigation, Lester Matz’s engineering firm was served with a subpoena for documents, and through his counsel he sought immunity in exchange for cooperation in the investigation. Matz had been kicking back to Agnew five percent of the value of contracts received through his influence, first county contracts during his term in Towson, and subsequently state contracts while Agnew was governor.[161][163] …

‘Agnew denied culpability, saying the selection of Matz’s firm had been routine, and the money campaign contributions …

‘Nevertheless, Agnew entered into negotiations for a plea bargain on the condition that he would not serve jail time.[174] He wrote in his memoirs that he entered the plea bargain because he was worn out from the extended crisis, to protect his family, and because he feared he could not get a fair trial.[175] He made his decision on October 5, and plea negotiations took place over the following days. On October 9, Agnew visited Nixon at the White House and informed the President of his impending resignation.[176] …

‘On October 10, 1973, Agnew appeared before the federal court in Baltimore, and pleaded nolo contendere (no contest) to one felony charge, tax evasion, for the year 1967 … Agnew was fined $10,000 and placed on three years’ unsupervised probation … At the same time, Agnew submitted a formal letter of resignation to the Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, and sent a letter to Nixon stating he was resigning in the best interest of the nation. Nixon responded with a letter concurring that the resignation was necessary to avoid a lengthy period of division and uncertainty, and applauding Agnew for his patriotism and dedication to the welfare of the United States. House Minority Leader Gerald Ford, who would be Agnew’s successor as vice president (and Nixon’s as president) recalled that he heard the news while on the House floor and his first reaction was disbelief, his second sadness.[177].’

I am still of two minds over Agnew’s resignation. I was in school at the time and thought it was the right thing to do. On paper and ethically, yes. However, my mother thought that the Dems finally found something to stick to Agnew. She was sorry to see him go.

That’s ‘somehow’ in action.
