Wow, there was a lot going on in this very short video. Letās start with Lindsey and work our way down to Blumenthal.
I am not a huge fan of Lindsey Graham. I donāt trust him as far as I can throw him. I think once youāre part of the swamp for as long as heās been, there is no way to redeem you, fully. I think Lindsey is a lot of talk and very little action. I think heās been quiet when we needed him to roar, and I think heās used MAGA and rode on President Trumpās coattails. But even after saying all that, I donāt think Lindsey Graham is evil like Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney and I donāt think heās in with the āDeep State.ā I think heās a typical opportunistic establishment politician, who flows wherever the wind goes, and as a result, heās once again, backing President Trump, because, unlike Liz Cheney, Lindsey knows he canāt beat Trump or his movement, so heād rather ājoin themā insteadā¦ sort of, anyway.
Lindsey made it perfectly clear that he will be supporting President Trump if he runs again in 2024. And I am happy to hear that. I donāt expect a lot from Lindsey, and I know heās an establishment stooge, but in this high-stakes game of DC politics, Iād rather have him publicly kiss the ring than not.
Another amusing thing about this video is the look on Lindseyās face as Senator Blumenthal squirms and hems and haws over questions about if Joe runs in 2024. You can definitely tell that he doesnāt really want to answer that question, since most DEMOCRATS (75 percent) donāt want Joe running againā¦ But CNN put him in the hot seat, and Lindsey is clearly enjoying itā¦ watch the clip, and then letās discuss the āwarningā Richard B. actually issued to Joe.
Watch:
“Do you think President Biden is the best candidate in 2024?”

Blumenthal just gave a secret away in his answer. He just let Joe Biden know that he better announce heās not running immediately after the midterms or there will be hell to pay. Heās letting the Buffoon in Chief know exactly what is expected of him, and how this whole thing better play out.
Right now, Joe can pretend heās running in 2024 all he wants, but after the midterm bloodbath, fun and games are over. He better fall on the sword for the party, or the party will force him on the sword, like it or not, and it wonāt be pretty.
That was the not-so-subtle message that Blumenthal sent to Team Biden this morning ā and my guess is youāll be seeing more of this, because āTeam Bidenā is not on the āsame pageā with the rest of the Dem Party right now. Jill and Joe arenāt ready to give up power.
