On to 2024

The Dems' media lapdogs are already gearing up for the next election cycle, which also happens to be a presidential election year. 

And MSNBC's Morning Joe is partying like it's 2016.

Remember, it was Morning Joe (and pretty much all of CNN) who in 2016 gave Trump in the neighborhood of multi millions of dollars of in-kind contributions by airing every millisecond of his campaign rallies (including an empty podium minutes before he was scheduled to speak). The belief was that Trump would be the least formidable opponent for Hillary Clinton. We all know how that turned out. 

Today, however, it's a different ballgame. Leftist groups spent eight figures in the 2022 cycle propping up election denying Republicans in Congressional and gubernatorial primaries with many of them advancing to the general election. And given the "red wave" never materialized this past Tuesday, the strategy in advancing crazy GOP candidates (most, if not all, handpicked or endorsed by Trump) was a key factor in stemming the tide since many of them were defeated. Heck, as I write this, there's a non-zero chance the Dems keep both chambers of Congress. 

In the aftermath of Tuesday's underwhelming performance, there were a lot of Republicans ready to move on from the Trump era and focus on the one elected official who actually exceeded the expectations of a "red wave" --- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

We're seeing it play out already. Leftists (particularly the partisan media) know that DeSantis is a bigger threat to be elected President than the damaged Trump. In fact, Trump is the only potential 2024 entrant who is a certainty to lose to the walking cadaver who currently occupies the White House. So now the left's goal is to prop up Trump and even use a semblance of his maniacal rants to attack DeSantis. 

I've said many times before that I never believed we'd see a Republican POTUS more reviled than George W. Bush. Then Trump emerged, instilling in me that the downright leftist lunacy he endured couldn't come close to being matched. Given how DeSantis is being maligned when he hasn't even given a hint of wanting to run for President in two years tells me that leftists have plenty of invective reserves for whomever shows up on a ballot as a Republican. 

It's gonna be must see TV when Trump and his surrogates appear on MSNBC to join the festivities in blasting DeSantis.
