Opinion : Letter to the Editor: Democrat Party’s Contract on Trump, will they Succeed?

Dear Editor, 

It is without question that the Democrat Party has taken out a "Contract" on Donald Trump.  They want him dead.  Period.

Their reasons are repeated over and over and over . . .

"He's Hitler!!!"

"He's a threat to Democracy!!"

"He's an existential threat!!!" . . . I guess to the very existence of the planet??

"He's a tyrant, he'll be a Dictator!"

"He won't let us kill our unborn children anymore!!!"

"He's a racist!"

 Golly, they had me at "Hitler".  I mean we know what his actions were, the millions he killed, the prison camps, the ovens . . . Man!!!  I sure don't want that again, especially here in the US.

And so, the call has gone out globally . . . in the words of Hillary . . . "This man simply must not be allowed to become President."

Of course, to facilitate the "pros" they've left the borders wide open.  DHS and Immigration have lost track of over 100 ISIS members that were allowed entry and were released.  I'm sure they're hopeful there's a "professional" in the mix there.  Additionally, over 20,000 illegal Chinese have been granted entry, most military age men.  I'm sure there's hope there's at least a couple military snipers included in this group.

And let's not forget the hardcore professionals from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Cuba, Pakistan  . . . to name just a few alternate sources of "talent" available to take out Trump.

So, while the pool of possible assassins is certainly deep, it seems that to date just the amateurs have attempted killing Trump.  The kid in Pennsylvania - I will not ever repeat his name - has come the closest with Trump being saved by the simple turning of his head.  The potential killer's path was certainly smoothed by the total failure of the Secret Service.  The failure was so complete, and so massive . . . that I can only come to a single conclusion . . . the security measures went off exactly as planned.  I'm sure the results were a disappointment to those who are driving the Democrat boat.

The second attempt was foiled by chance . . . not by design.  Again, the Secret Service seems to have gone with a minimum team - perhaps expecting an attack by an incensed voter with a banana cream pie.  Instead, a sniper wannabe with long term delusions of grandeur failed to properly conceal his sniper's hide and an agent saw his rifle's barrel, sent handful of rounds his way and scared him off only to be caught a short time later.

Today, as I type this, apparently a bomb was detected in a car at a rally venue for Trump in New York today.  They said it was in a blue barrel.  The only bombs I've heard of in plastic barrels are anhydrous/diesel bombs, think Oklahoma City federal building bombing - though that was an entire truck filled with blue barrels.  As I said, this is developing as I type, we'll see where it goes.

 All of this said, it would seem that the Democrat Party, in their frustration with a failing Joe and an air head named Kamala, has decided that the best way to ensure victory is to "off" Trump.  And they do seem dedicated to the task.  After two known attempts, the core of the Democrat Party is still publicly proclaiming Trump to be Dangerous, a Threat, emphasizing that he simply can not be allowed to become President again.

So, I take them at their spoken and written word . . . they want him dead.  And every nutjob, enemy state, narco leader and "true patriot" will be trying to find ways to "plant" Trump between now and the end of his next term.

This is the US morphing fully into Venezuela - killing your opponents, jailing them, jailing their followers, seizing control at gunpoint.  This has been done many times throughout history.  In fact, we went through an assassination craze when I was a teen . . . Kennedy . . . begat . . . Martin Luther King . . . begat . . . Bobby Kennedy.  We were lucky to make it through that.  But things have changed today . . . then emotions were inflamed by a phone call (dial phone with long distance charges), daily newspapers, Sunday papers, weekly news shows . . . to name a few.  While you could bitch with your neighbor or friend, an individual's ability to insight the ire of an electorate was slow and arduous.

Not so today.  A single tweet on X can be read by millions in a matter of 10s of minutes.  The outrage shouted in a microphone can be repeated globally in a few moments and last a lifetime. A whole political group can be brought to fever pitch within hours and held there until those doing the inciting move on to the next item on their checklist.

Where the ire of the moment in the 60s had the ability to naturally cool . . . that simply does not exist today.  Where does that lead exactly?

If the Democrat party insists on this reckless path forward toward November's election - they may easily release a "Genie" that manages future elections through violence and intimidation rather than by policy and civil discourse.  Right now the choice is entirely theirs to make.

I pray they choose wisely.

Respectfully,

Bill Keller
