Jill Has Her Revenge

Schadenfreude overload in the East Wing.

Whelp. The one time I decided to go to bed rather than sit up and watch the election returns, the winner was declared before 2:00 a.m. Ah, well. It made for a pleasant surprise when I came downstairs at 4:30.

I went to Fox News and was stunned to discover that, for now, Donald Trump not only won the Electoral College, but he is also leading in the national vote. I’m sure that will change once California’s count is finalized in late December.

CNN reported that Kamala did not outperform Joe Biden’s 2020 results anywhere in the United States. Kamala even did worse among women than Joe did four years ago, which is all kinds of hilarious given how certain the Democrats were that women would flock to Kamala like pregnant moths to a Planned Parenthood flame.

She was behind Trump among married women by around 8-9 points, if I remember correctly, so all those “Your husband doesn’t need to know how you vote” commercials were a dud.

Meanwhile, Republicans have taken the Senate with 52 seats, but that majority may increase after the counting is done.

Kamala’s famed “Blue Wall” crumbled, with Trump taking Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. He is holding a slim lead in Michigan, so all three Blue Wall battleground states may be a loss for Kammy.

Decision Desk called Nevada for Trump, and Arizona may flip as well.

All in all, it was a bad night for Kamala Harris. And just like Hillary in 2016, Kamala left her supporters hanging last night, refusing to come out and speak to them once the race was lost. Instead, she sent Biden official Cedric Richmond out to tell everyone to go home and that Kamala would not reappear until later today.

The American corporate media is taking it about as well as expected: Kamala lost because we’re a bunch of racist, sexist, uneducated yahoos who wanted democracy to end.

I’m sure the Democrats are kicking themselves for pulling the rug out from under Democrat primary voters and swapping old Joe for the woman who couldn’t even make it to Iowa in 2020. If anything, this should end Barack Obama’s influence over the party. Then again, do Democrats ever learn from their mistakes?

They’re also kicking themselves for bypassing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro in favor of Minnesota Governor FlappyHands McGayGuy — a decision Kamala happily boasted was her own.

If they have any sense, the Democrats are going to drop-kick Liz Cheney into oblivion and fire whatever midwit fool decided to super-glue Kamala to that harridan’s non-existent coattails.

One thing’s for certain. Jill Biden is feeling smug and satisfied this morning. They forced Joe out of the race, believing that Kamala had a better chance of winning, only to see Kamala do worse than Joe did in 2020. You know Jill loved watching that wretched, cackling lightweight lose in a landslide.

While I never believed that old Joe was trying to tank his Veep’s chances, I wouldn’t be surprised if we learn that Jill convinced Joe to make all those disastrously unhelpful comments during Kamala’s brief campaign, in hopes that the comments would drag her down with them.

“You should say that the only garbage you see floating around are Trump’s supporters.”

“Do you think that would help Kamala?”

“Without a doubt, Joe. Absolutely.”

“Just keep telling them there is no daylight between you and Kamala.”

“Is there?”

“Does it matter? Just keep telling them that.”

Kamala Harris deprived Jill Biden of four more years as First Lady, and I suspect that did not go over well.

Maybe I’m a touch vindictive, but I think if I were Jill Biden, I would be delighted that not only did Kamala lose to Trump, but she even failed to match Biden’s performance four years ago.

In short, Jill woke up this morning feeling the schadenfreude.

Sure, she won’t be First Lady anymore, but at least it isn’t because Kamala’s girl-slapping husband is replacing her.

It was over for Jill one way or the other. At least this way, she can take pleasure in Kamala’s pain.
