Victor Davis Hanson: The Weird, Creepy, Surreal—and Dangerous—2024 Campaign

 Daily Signal  

"In sum, presidential campaigns traditionally kick off after Labor Day and mostly follow accepted protocols. But this warped 2024 version violates every prior precedent and is not just creepy but dangerous—even before the campaign was supposed to formally begin."

"The already-long 2024 presidential campaign has become the strangest in modern history.

"Here are 10 unanswered questions that illustrate how and why we’ve entered this bizarro world:

"1. How can Kamala Harris merely promise us fixes to come in 2025 for inflation and an open border when she is still vice president for another six months? Why can’t she enact her proposed solutions to these problems (which she helped create) right now?

"2. Would the media prefer to help her win but lose further credibility themselves by failing to ask why she has disowned her last three decades of leftist agendas, or to reclaim some of their reputations and thereby risk her losing?

"3. Does the Left appreciate the new campaign and election protocols it has now established?

"That is to say:

"Cancel by fiat their virtual nominee four months before the election when he sinks in the polls?

"Nullify the outcome of a year of primaries and the will of 14 million voters?

"Threaten a sitting president with removal by the 25th Amendment process unless he steps aside as his party nominee?


"Anoint a replacement nominee before the convention and without a single primary—and then prevent any rival candidates from challenging her?

"4. After the precedents of 2020 and 2024, is the future orthodox protocol for any Democratic nominee now to avoid all interviews and extempore speaking, and stick to teleprompted speeches and scripted responses only?

"Is the fear that a transparent progressive messenger with an overt and honest left-wing message will double down on it and thus guarantee defeat?" . . .  Full article.

"Then, what happened next was astonishing. A bunch of white vans rolled up. People who had been tossed out and others said they had brought in people to have an "audience" in the restaurant, Sam DeMarco, the Republican Committee of Allegheny County chairman, reported. "Holy hell, all these actors in these vans,"  one of the men shouted."  That was so Hillary.
