1) I said to a buddy of mine last night that Democrats will lose the election if they don't start fighting in their primaries.

They did not start fighting in their debate.

As such, they will lose.

2) In a crowded primary field, the only way for a candidate to gain legitimacy is to wage war, to take legitimacy through blood and fire.

The most conflict we got was Biden confusing the words 'only' and 'first' when talking about African American female senators.

3) Trump won his nomination through blood and fire. He fought through a crowded primary field, he CONQUERED. He openly defeated his opponents one by one.

Hillary, for what its worth, should be THANKING Bernie Sanders for giving her a conflict in her primary campaign.

4) Really. The plan was very obviously to coast to the nomination with no real opposition, but the fact that Bernie actually fought her tooth and nail probably helped her campaign because it energized the Dem base.

5) If it weren't for the email leaks and other rampant bullshit that, ironically enough, wouldn't have been a problem had Hillary been running unopposed in the primary, Hillary could have used that energy to her advantage. But, she lost the veneer of having been 'victorious.'

6) Now, the current slate of Dem candidates, they aren't fighting. They aren't being ALLOWED to fight. There's some unofficial decorum preventing everyone from going after each other when they really should be if they want to make a dent in the polls.

7) In fact, free advice, lemme give the Dems some free advice.

Buttguy, Klobuchar, whoever the fuck else is downstream of viability, lemme show you guys how to instantly win the next debate, in just your opening statement. Just say this word for word, and you'll win nomination.

8) "Opening statement? Yeah, I've got your opening statement, right here." *Insert rude hand gesture.*

"I'm sick of being told we have to play nice with each other or else Trump will win. I'm sick of the DNC demanding we handle each other with kid gloves. You think TRUMP will?"

9) "Biden: You're almost 90. You have no idea what the hell you're saying half the time. I'm sorry this is the first time you've had a participation medal from Obama to flaunt for your campaign, but you're done. GO HOME ALREADY. The White House isn't a retirement home."

10) "Warren, you're fake. You aren't Native American, you aren't Progressive, you aren't grass roots, and you aren't even a drinker, your taste in beer is crap. You aren't a fighter, you aren't channeling some warrior spirit, you aren't even a real candidate!"

11) "Bernie: YOU HAD A HEART ATTACK. Retire already. You're turning into a socialist McCain. Congratulations, you won, we've got open fucking socialists in the House of Representatives under the Democrat tag, and now they're killing the party. Looking at you, Gabbard."

12) You let loose a volley like that, in your opening statement, and then you refuse to back down, you refuse to bend the knee and surrender, and THAT'S how you win a primary. That's how you conquer it through blood and fire.

But none of you motherfuckers have the spine for that

13) The fact that what I just laid out is ABSOLUTELY UNTHINKABLE for any of the Democrats to say is exactly what means that the Democrats will flail limp-wristed into the general election.

And that's where Trump will ANNIHILATE THEM.

14) See, Trump knows this too. So here's what he's going to do.

He's going to cede the first debate to the Dems. Let them crow about victory. He's going to do this because the Dems will be SO WEAK, he HAS to in order to keep up the illusion that there's an actual fight.

15) And then in the second and third debates he's going to ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MAUL THEM.

16) Mark my words.

The second debate will be so vicious, so brutal, so lopsided that the Dems will have their media mouthpieces start talking about how there shouldn't BE a third debate. That "they shouldn't give Trump a platform to bully the Democrat again."

Spineless pricks.
