Democratic leaders watched as a clearly corrupt chief executive with a speech problem staggered around the podium, trying to read from a teleprompter a text prepared by his staff. Some may wonder whether they should stick with this presidential candidate.
Probably will, and there's a good reason for that. It's too late to dump the stumbling Joe Biden and his dim-witted vice president who checks two boxes in that he's partially black in the job and, more noticeably, a woman. Maybe. In Biden's case, we are dealing with the ultimate Teflon president, leading an administration that on paper always seemed to be in turmoil, yet defying all odds by leading his party to an unexpected victory. He is a politician who has
Mr. Biden is likely to enter the 2024 presidential election with significantly more campaign funds than his opponent. If that happens, the media will be more than willing to support the Democratic Party.
Despite soaring prices, an intentionally opened southern border, skyrocketing crime rates in urban areas, and a government waking us up, Biden's party fared well in two elections. . In 2022 and 2023, Democrats won races they should have lost. Other presidents, including Barack Obama, now hallowed by the media, have seen their parties falter in year-end elections. But that didn't happen with Biden. Despite Biden's poor poll numbers, a faltering economy and a collapsing southern border, the party has made rapid gains in Senate and gubernatorial races. No president in modern times has so successfully wrested victory from the brink of defeat.
Additionally, we are not impressed by the argument that Democrats were able to campaign without Biden because he was not directly on the ballot in off-year elections. Biden and his fellow Democrats have done well by attacking Donald Trump, but the former president did not run in this off-year election. Democrats presented themselves as the custodians of democracy against the allegedly corrupt and authoritarian Trump and his “MAGA Republican” faction. Biden and his allies persuaded voters that they were fighting a fascist threat. They also convinced carefully targeted voters that they supported “women's reproductive rights,” against the wishes of Republicans who wanted to force women to bear children against their will. .
These accusations seemed completely excessive at the time. But I was wrong. My Republican Senate candidate, Mehmet Oz, tried to run away from the abortion issue. Those who discarded him were unmarried women who saw him and other Republicans as male chauvinists. Apparently brain-damaged Democrat John Fetterman championed unrestricted abortion rights and won his Senate race by nearly five points, demonstrating that sense is no longer relevant to electoral victory. proved.
The determining factor in elections in densely populated areas is the power structure of the left. Corporate capitalists, the administrative state, disadvantaged minorities, and the corporate press all work together to control urban voting. The ability of Democratic candidates to think may not be as important as their support for the policies that our nation's powerful are trying to implement.
Mr. Biden is likely to enter the 2024 presidential election with significantly more campaign funds than his opponent. If that happens, the media will be more than willing to support the Democratic Party. After four Colorado judges voted to remove Trump from the primary on the completely unproven grounds that he had engaged in an “insurrection,” the media reported on the story: The majority of respondents National polls showed support for this strange decision. This is a case that the Supreme Court will likely invalidate. Meanwhile, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and Democratic judges at all levels will support their intervention against the man.
Mark Thiessen, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, recently spoke on Fox News about why Trump is barely leading Biden in the polls when the incumbent is not as popular as he seems. I wondered out loud. Mr. Thiessen's implicit explanation was that Trump's baggage made the race look very close, even with a disastrous president.
The real reason is more complicated. Despite all of Biden's failures, the outcome of the election remains uncertain because Democrats have so many weapons at their disposal. There will not be a level playing field in the 2024 election, especially if Trump is the Republican candidate. Donald has become an issue on which Democrats are mobilizing. Of course, if the opponent were an unexpected Vivek Ramaswamy or Ron DeSantis, the knife would come out as expected.
Nikki Haley may not be a media target because she poses less of a threat to the swamp. But she, too, could morph into a right-wing threat. The media recently criticized her for emphasizing the government's role in answering her questions about the causes of the Civil War. In Haley's knee-jerk reaction, she seemed unable to focus on the evils of slavery.
We see that even swamp creatures are expected to give politically correct answers to historical questions. Only Democratic candidates are immune to such tests.
Political commentary and administration are now fully part of the left wing, and election results seem almost pre-programmed. Republicans need to take that into consideration as they plan their battles this year. Thinking that you can easily win just because your opponent destroyed your country may border on insane optimism.
