Anons, with all the other winnings and habbenings going on almost on a daily basis, I think that the importance and sheer genius of @POTUS's #Blago sentence commutation is being overlooked. To get an idea of what I'm talking about watch and listen closely to this Fox interview of him on Feb. 19. Do the same with the his "sidewalk" impromptu press conference earlier that morning (link below).
Main Takeaways:
-
Blago is clearly the most sincere, charismatic, articulate, energetic, engaging and natural (no script, no teleprompter) public speaker, at least in this anon's opinion, since RFK's unforgettable campaign tour during the 1968 Democratic primaries. Just closing my eyes and listening to him sends me back in time to those heady days. If Blago was a "clean" rising star in either party, do you think that any political opponent would look forward to facing him in a presidential debate? With all due respect, I think that even @POTUS would admit, privately, that Blago would be a formidable opponent. This brings me to my second takeaway
-
Aside from correcting a clear injustice, at least sentence-wise, what exactly was our Chess Master in Chief's move here? I believe I know but read this one comment under the subject video:
"With as much spotlight as trump has on him, democrats watching his every step, do you really think Trump is going to pardon some random corrupt governor just for no reason? You're floating on the surface, the sharks are below… Look deeper my friend."
and also review the other recent notable that Anderson Pooper lost his cool in his interview with Blago by responding with a quick-witted (not) "Bullshit" with Blago throwing "Bullshit" immediately back at Pooper. Top KEK.
Anons, this was a genius move by @POTUS on so many levels. Realize that the move, itself, cost @POTUS NO political capital at all yet has already resulted in a breath-taking yield. The political genius of this move can be summed up in Blago's response to questions about any gratitude or political change of heart due to the commutation:
"I guess you could call me a #Trumpocrat."
Mark my words, anons, whether originally coined by Blago or not, the word "Trumpocrat" will be attributed to this silver-tongued/hair devil and will be the word political history writers will use when describing the coming 2020 landslide re-election of Donald Trump. I wouldn't be surprised to see this political Black Sheep assume a surrogate's role on the Trump 2020 Campaign. Blago even says that he "needs a job" so why not renounce the failed and corrupt Party that not only abandoned him but tried to neuter him with a gulag-like prison sentence? Just look at the de facto campaigning Blago has already done! I wouldn't be surprised to learn that @POTUS signed him up immediately after watching Blago reduce Pooper to a mess on national t.v.

A #BlagoUnchained would be the ultimate surrogate to campaign in the Democratic-controlled major cities which represent the last firewall of the Democratic Party. Blago has already proven himself in the Democratic Mordor of Chicago. Watch his "sidewalk" press conference and look closely at the throng of close supporters and you'll see a close to 50/50 Black to White very tight group of supporters I've also not seen since those tight groups of ardent supporters/bodyguards who followed around MLK and RFK. They all seemed to know each other well and Blago was keeping up a running side-exchange with many during the conference. What better a surrogate for Trump in the major urban centers of the Nation?

Last, Blago cleverly skirted the question of whether he was looking for revenge against the Party and former President who did him so wrong by turning the subject to justice for other political prisoners, like himself, who are still locked up. That's a great public response and parry of the question that's on everyone's mind. "This s.o.b. is out and he knows our city/plantation play-book inside out. He knows our under-belly and where every body is buried. But mostly, he is the voice of the lost soul of the Democratic Party. All those disaffected voters in our rolls who hold their noses as they "pull the lever" will listen to him. He represents the new "Trumpocrats" who will drive the stake through the heart of what's left of our Party or maybe just unplug the life-support".
It's too bad that as a convicted felon Blago cannot run for national office. If it were otherwise, have him change his registration and sign him up for "Trump-Blago 2020". Regardless, with one swift and very easy move @POTUS just changed the political landscape of the 2020 election map.
