Geoff Diehl ought to ask Donald Trump to Boston subsequent week.
The former president, who has endorsed Diehl for governor, is taking part in a tele-rally for Diehl and Leah Allen, his working mate, tonight, on the eve of Tuesday’s main to push Diehl excessive.
The tele-rally is ok, however it might be extra fascinating if Diehl may get Trump to personally go to the state subsequent week.
That means Trump might be readily available on the identical day, Monday Sept. 12, that President Joe Biden is predicted to be in Boston to speak concerning the infrastructure program signed into regulation final yr.
While Diehl has no issues showing with Trump, it will likely be fascinating to see if Attorney General Maura Healey, all however topped Democrat nominee for governor—and a Biden supporter—reveals up for Biden.
Biden’s go to comes at a time when—sinking within the polls— Democrat candidates are virtually shunning him wherever he goes, as Healey did throughout Biden’s final go to to Massachusetts.
It is as if all of them concern contracting “Bidenitis,” a political variant of Covid-19 that may unfold. Politicians who contract Bidenitis are inclined to say dumb issues and provides silly speeches, so they’re given broad berth.
That final Biden go to was in July when the president spoke in Somerset about local weather change and clear vitality. All the Democrat dignitaries have been readily available besides Healey.
Will Healey present as much as greet and pose with Biden subsequent Monday?
Who is aware of? When requested, Healey’s marketing campaign workplace didn’t reply to queries.
However, as an out, Healey may present as much as greet Vice President Kamala Harris who’s in Boston at present to attend organized labor’s annual Labor Day breakfast.
It might be smart if she shuns Biden, although.
Otherwise, she could be requested if she agreed with Biden that Trump’s MAGA voters in Massachusetts have been “semi-fascists,” common fascists, or simply plain American voters who consider in Making America Great Again.
Biden simply carried Massachusetts over Trump within the 2020 election, But Trump nonetheless acquired 1,167,202 MAGA votes. Many of those voters might be voting tomorrow.
But Biden’s massive win in Massachusetts got here lengthy earlier than Biden became Dr. Strangelove and commenced calling Trump “a threat to democracy, and all the people who voted for him “semi-fascists.”
Biden and the woke Democrats round him used to name their Republican opponents “racists,” earlier than they wore the phrase out.
So now they’ve substituted “fascist” for “racist.” Next, they are going to be calling them Nazis. And then what comes after that?
So don’t blame Healey if she is a no present once more.
Without Healey round, Biden will most likely should accept a meet and greet with the woke editorial writers on the politically right Boston Globe.
These are the identical editorial writers who, within the paper’s 2020 endorsement of Biden, known as him “a foreign policy expert” who additionally “managed the 2009 economic recovery.”
That was earlier than Biden’s humiliating—and lethal—weak-kneed withdrawal from Afghanistan that value the lives of 13 American troopers, and his senseless open borders and his wrecking of the U.S. economic system.
Diehl, a Trump supporting conservative from Whitman, should in fact first win the GOP nomination for governor in tomorrow’s main.
The invitation wouldn’t work if businessman Chris Doughty of Wrentham, Diehl’s reasonable opponent, upsets Diehl on Tuesday.
That’s as a result of Doughty admittedly voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016. And Trump, who remembers slights from kindergarten, won’t ever forgive him.
Another strike towards Doughty, within the eyes of Trump supporters, is that he, like Biden, was endorsed by the Globe, figuring that Doughty can be simpler for Healey, the paper’s most well-liked candidate, to beat in November.
Unlike Doughty, Diehl can be a stand in for Trump simply as Healey will (possibly) be a stand in for Biden.
We’ll see.
