The Democrats have an October Surprise that could win the election

You might recall the 1980 Surprise. Reagan running against Carter.

The Reagan team was accused of making a deal with the government of Iran to hold on to American hostages until after the election.

Because, if Jimmy Carter could secure their release just before Election Day, he could be swept back into office on a tide of enthusiasm.

The hostages were released, just after Reagan was inaugurated.

Now, in 2024, there are strong possibilities for another Surprise. The Biden administration tells Zelensky to agree to peace negotiations with Putin—

Including a temporary cease fire in the war.

Bang.

Or: there’s a temporary halt to the Israel-Hamas war.

Or both.

“Peace in our time,” brought to you by the Democrats.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about this Surprise. It’s so obvious.

Putin and Zelensky are already making noises about proposed negotiations.

All that has to happen is: the US Sec of State tells Zelensky to sit down and talk peace with the Russians, or no more US dollars and weapons will flow his way.

Whether or not Biden is at the top of the ticket in November, this would be a major Dem win—pumped up endlessly by the press.
