That may seem hard to credit.<\/p>\n<p>With two major wars going on, an indicted former president and a demented current president, how can 2024 be more challenging than 2023?<\/p>\n<p>Rest assured; it will be. I explain why below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"centered subhead\"><b>An Election of Dire Consequences<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a cliche to write that the next presidential election will be the \u201cmost important in our lifetimes.\u201d Yet in 2024 that cliche will actually be true.<\/p>\n<p>The divide between the two parties is probably greater than at any time in U.S. political history since the Civil War. The choice could not be more stark and the stakes could not be higher.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why this election is so important.<\/p>\n<p>First off, I don\u2019t think that Joe Biden will\u00a0be the Democratic nominee for president.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s problem is not just his age, but the fact that he actually is mentally and physically impaired. He\u2019s simply not fit to be president, and everyone knows it even if Democratic operatives and media sycophants don\u2019t want to mention it. But who will replace Biden?<\/p>\n<p>The most likely replacements are Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer and Jennifer Granholm. All four were or are state governors. They\u2019re all about the same ideologically; take your pick. Forget Kamala Harris; she\u2019s simply too much of a liability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"centered subhead\"><b>The Republican Side<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On the Republican side, there\u2019s not a lot to say. Trump will be the nominee; no one can recall a non-incumbent with such a large lead in the polls.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s leading the pack by 55 points or more and is now even running ahead of Joe Biden in recent polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rickards\u2019 Five 2024 Forecasts I have five forecasts for 2024 to help keep you ahead of the curve in positioning your investment portfolio.
