No Labels, no fables, no third-party betrayals
Scoop USA Newspaper|September 15, 2023
I had trouble sleeping recently. I made the mistake of looking at a lot of voting data before bedtime and then reading some of the BS being put out by the third-party group "No Labels," as well as by my old friend Cornel West, who's now running for president as the Green Party candidate. It was a mistake. It's now 2 a.m. where I am, and I'm loaded for bear.

No Labels, no fables, no third-party betrayals

Let me be absolutely clear. Third-party groups such as No Labels and the Green Party are, in effect, front groups for Trump in 2024 and should be treated as such.

No Labels has pledged to spend $70 million to support a third-party candidate in 2024 who could easily draw enough votes from President Biden to tip the presidential election to Trump.

No Labels has already qualified as a presidential party that can run candidates on the ballot in 10 states, including in both Arizona and Florida. Already, Joe Manchin is flirting with the idea of running as a thirdparty presidential candidate under the No Labels banner.

If you believe that No Labels exists in order to encourage bipartisanship, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

No Labels which claims to be a centrist organization will not reveal its donors, one of whom is reportedly the conservative megadonor Harlan Crow. Politico reports that No Labels has brought on a major Trump donor as an adviser in the pivotal battleground state of Florida.

But whatever it says it aims to be, No Labels will help Trump.

So will every other third party claiming to be in the "center" or on the "left" - including the Green Party, which is already on the ballot in the two key swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin and whose most likely candidate for president is Cornel West. And the People's Party, especially if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. becomes its nominee.
