My Rankings (by Intuition) of the Presidential Peanut Gallery. By Gene W. Edwards. Posted 8/15/2023.

Biden 50%. Future president Kamala Harris 75%. Obama 65%. Trump 10%.

Now I’ll look at some old-timers for comparison: Lincoln 100%! Washington 90%. FDR 90%. Truman 45%. JFK 80%. Reagan 45%. George H. W. Bush 20%. George W. Bush 20%.

How about: Eisenhower 85%. Nixon 20%. Ford 20%. Carter 75%. Johnson 10%.

Other figures: Kissinger 10%. Gingrich 55%. James Carville 90%. Dick Cheney 10%. Liz Cheney 90%. Condoleezza Rice 65%. Gary Hart 80%. John Edwards 10%. Ralph Nadir 90%.

I know a lot more about most of the above figures, and their policies, than the general public. Some of them had vastly different public vs. private personalities. Some of them were just talking figureheads (Reagan). Some of them (Johnson) were outright criminals! It’s seldom the case of, “What you see [superficially] is what you get.”

Here are some more of these quantification evals by me. The current crop! Chris Christie 100%. Asa Hutchinson 100%. Tulsi Gabbard 90%. RFK Jr. 50%. All the Republican candidates taken together: 30%.

How about?: Biden family level of criminality 50%. Hunter Biden’s 100%. Joe Biden and graft 100%. Hunter Biden’s level of sexual degeneracy 100%. Joe’s 0%. The integrity level of the Republican Party today as a whole? 10%. And the Democratic Party? 65%. Geoff Duncan, Lt. Gov. of GA 100%. Michael Cohen, former Trump lawyer 100%.

Here are some more characters (including sellouts): Giuliana 0%. Sydney Powell 0. Fani Willis, judge 100. Jack Smith, special prosecutor 100. Judge Tanya Chutkan 100. A.G. Merrick Garland 100. Integrity level within the DOJ: 50% (hyper ambition over law). FBI at top levels: 45%. FBI director Christopher Wray: 67%.

What are the chances Judge Chutkan will jail Trump for violating gag orders?: 100%. And Fani Willis’s chance?: 0%. Chutkan beats Willis to the punch. Chance that Chutkan will revoke Trump’s bond?: 100%. This would leave Trump jailed until his trial ends?: Yes. “Every” thinking person knows Trump is going to jail anyway. Why not get it over with quick, before he can do much more damage?

Which court case against Trump is the most likely to first conclude and jail Trump (Manhattan case, documents case, 1/6 case, GA case? All four will sentence him to jail! I get “all four are first,” and I still think that means that Trump drops out of sight in September or October of this year before all the legal fireworks. What am I intuiting? I believe he will die then. Of what? I think of at least four possibilities, I am not shown which one. Hillary would say, “What does it matter?” Let us see what transpires is the few weeks ahead.

So . . . buckle in for a long and bumpy amusement park ride!

All of the above is largely a measure of integrity and character, and stepping up during difficult times, not policy “perfection,” although policy matters. I am Diogenes, trying to shine a lantern beam of light in the darkness. Catch the glimmer.

Love,

Gene W. Edwards.
