Editor: Understand this: All that is going on, here, is a concerted effort to condition the general population for a challenge by a losing election campaign. In the last 20 years, the Dems have had two "super star" presidential candidates (Bill Clinton and Obama). In fact, if you stop to think about it, Neither LBJ nor Jimmy Carter were "super stars. The question for the Dems is this: can they win a national election without a Bill Clinton or a Barack Obama? They can certainly stay relevant via
Congressional power , but, the presidency may be another matter.
(AOL) House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., on Sunday defended his recent comments saying President Trump "thinks that the American people will be duped by him, like the people of Germany was dup
ed by Adolf Hitler."
"I feel very strongly that this man has taken on strong-arm tactics. And I feel very strongly that he is [Italian dictator Benito] Mussolini, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is Hitler," Clyburn said during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union."
Clyburn, the No. 3 House Democrat and a key backer of presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, noted that he has for years been comparing Trump to history’s strongmen and warning that the president does not plan to leave office. (In 2018, Clyburn said: “If I were making that comparison, then this president would be Mussolini and Putin would be Hitler.”)
On Friday, Clyburn told PBS: “I have been saying now for about three years that this president doesn't plan to have an election. He's not planning to give up the office.”
Trump provoked a new round of hand-wringing last week when he speculated about delaying the November election. Moving Election Day would take an act of Congress, where leaders of both parties quickly and uniformly dismissed the idea.
