OPINION:
If, in the 2020 election, a diminished President Biden really did beat former President Donald Trump without even leaving his basement to campaign, any other Democrat should be able to beat Mr. Trump handily in 2024, too. On their deep bench they have Elizabeth Warren, Mazie Hirono, Maxine Waters, Beto O’Rourke and another dozen of that ilk. It stands to reason that if he did indeed lose in 2020, Mr. Trump wouldn’t have a chance against any of them.
So Democrats should like no one better on the Republican ticket in 2024 than Mr. Trump. Yet here they are with this Jan 6. “committee,” desperate to disqualify him.
It does not compute. The Democrats’ actions make no sense — unless they know something we do not. Did Mr. Trump really win? Was his inauguration averted only by the grace of after-midnight miracles? What else could possibly explain their grim determination to revoke his right to run?
They mock “The Big Lie” by demanding proof. But they’re providing it themselves.
