Biden has further to fall in the polls

Original Article

Posted By: Garnet, 12/11/2023 5:12:52 PM

Despite being in bad shape politically, President Joe Biden has not hit rock bottom yet. Unlike in 2020, Biden is going to have to campaign, and he is going to have a record to defend — his alone, not one he inherited from former President Barack Obama. And unlike in 2020 and throughout his presidency, the establishment media will have to cover him. As history has shown, exposure and coverage are not a good combination for Biden. To be sure, Biden is still working from an advantage. As usual, the establishment media have given their preferential pass to a Democrat.

Something is wrong with the minds of people who would vote for this man. He is corrupt, he has destroyed our border, caused inflation had 2 wars during his term and financed both of them Wars we wouldn't have had under trump. He has destroyed Ford and Chevy with his crazed electric plan and still plans more electric problems for us, expensive gas and heating fuel, wants to mutilate children , stumbles around lost, and cannot put two sentences and yet there are idiots who don't care enough about America to send him back to his Delaware basement.

# 2 - it's the democratic mind think. A good friend said just yesterday she still thinks Hillary would be a good president. She was raised in a staunch democratic house. She never learned critical thinking. Those are the type who will vote for Biden.

“ Remember that in 2020, he won the popular vote by 4.4 percentage points but still only squeaked through in the Electoral College.” Correction - he STOLE the popular vote by 4.4 percentage points.

It's a race to the bottom. One is actually winning if their opponent is less liked than they are. The candidate that hits bottom first loses.

He is going to fall further because it has already been determined by the higher ups that he is out, and they have given the leftist media new marching orders. Instead of covering for Lunch Bucket Joe, they will be reporting daily on his failures and soon on his blatant corruption.

Joke City! The ONLY thing that will prove the previous statement null and void IS a restoration of President Trump to his rightful place in the White House!!! Where he should've been the last three years!!! Everything else is noise.

Tim Scott Is Trump’s Ideal Running Mate 23 replies
Posted by Garnet6/10/2024 12:09:33 AM
The conventional wisdom concerning vice-presidential picks is that they don’t really matter because voters focus on the top of the ticket in presidential elections. This is ordinarily true, but 2024 is no ordinary election. This time the winner will be the oldest president ever inaugurated, so it’s eminently possible that his vice-president will be called on to finish his term. We know what that means if Biden wins, so Trump’s running mate will receive more than the usual amount of voter scrutiny. Thus, he must not choose another irascible white male or any Florida resident. This eliminates all but one
Biden: Slip Slidin' Away 13 replies
Posted by Garnet6/7/2024 3:06:17 PM
President Biden "shows signs of slipping," the Wall Street Journal reported this week. Journalists Annie Linskey and Siobhan Hughes—no conservatives—spoke to 45 people who have met with the president and noticed his mental and physical decline. They recount, in detail, several meetings over the past year where Biden has been forgetful, confused, and out of it. The president, Linskey and Hughes report, "appears slower now, someone who has both good moments and bad ones." No kidding. You don't need the Journal to tell you that Biden is diminished. You need only to open your eyes. Go over Special Counsel Robert Hur's report into Biden's unauthorized removal of classified documents.
Merchan Will Jail Trump Unless SCOTUS Intervenes 8 replies

The conviction of former President Trump in the so-called hush-money trial has inevitably led to a lot of speculation concerning whether he will be sentenced to prison. A number of legal experts have suggested that it is unlikely. Normally this would be a reasonable prediction. Unfortunately, there was nothing normal about this trial. The “felonies” for which Trump was convicted were concocted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg based on a legal theory that had never been used in any court. As to presiding judge Juan Merchan, he is a political partisan bristling with conflicts of interest.

Young voters overwhelmingly believe that almost all politicians are corrupt and that the country will end up worse off than when they were born, according to new polling from Democratic firm Blueprint obtained exclusively by Semafor. The sour mood points to potential trouble for Joe Biden, who is struggling with Gen Z and younger Millennials in polls compared with 2020, and needs to convince them he can be relied on to improve their lives. As part of the online poll of 943 18-30-year-old registered voters, Blueprint asked participants to respond to a series of questions about the American political system: 49% agreed to some extent that elections

President Biden and the corporate media are growing increasingly frustrated by the failure of Americans to accept their assurances that the economy is in good shape. They insist that there is an inexplicable disconnect between the public’s gloomy perception of the economy and the sunny state of affairs described by official government statistics. A vocal proponent of this view is New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. As recently as Friday, he declared himself unable to understand pervasive pessimism about the economy and dismissed the phenomenon as a “vibecession.” Sorry, no sale.
Why Trump Eagerly Accepted Unfair Debate Rules 13 replies

Any experienced negotiator knows that, if his opening offer is immediately accepted, he has given away too much. Consequently, it must have rattled President Biden’s handlers when former President Trump instantly agreed to their debate proposal, despite its extravagant demands concerning format and rules. The Biden team very likely expected Trump to balk at some of those preconditions, which would have enabled them to portray his frequently repeated offer to debate “anytime, anywhere” as an empty bluff. Instead, he gleefully exclaimed, “Let’s get ready to rumble.” Moreover, he proposed additional encounters beyond those offered by the Biden campaign.

Westchester County prosecutors are giving anti-Israel protesters who were busted during a campus demonstration at SUNY Purchase a choice: Enroll in a crime prevention course or face jail time. Westchester District Attorney Mimi Rocah said nearly all of the 68 protesters arrested at the state university on May 2 will have the option to take a three-hour “Fresh Start” course to avoid prosecution and potentially keep them out of the county lockup, the office said Wednesday. “After evaluating the facts and circumstances, the WCDAO is offering our pre-arraignment diversionary program to eligible individuals, as we routinely do when first-time defendants face trespass violations,” a spokesperson for Rocah said in a statement.

Out on Seinfeld, His Speech Was the Story

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld delivered the commencement address at Duke University on Sunday. The media made a big deal out of the fact that a few students got up and walked out when Seinfeld came to the podium. Seinfeld received an honorary degree. It was maybe 25-30 students who left, from what I can tell. There was a little of the "Free Palestine" propaganda slogan shouted. While the media was running with that part of Seinfeld's role in the graduation ceremony, the real story was Seinfeld's speech. The sight of the students walking out on a Jewish speaker was antisemitism on display. What did they hope to accomplish?
NY Judge May Get Trump Elected 6 replies

Recently, when former President Trump openly accused the New York judge presiding over his “hush money” trial of plotting to put him in jail and declared himself willing to emulate Nelson Mandela, it had the desired effect on the commentariat and the savants of social media. They provided Trump with plenty of earned coverage and precious little substance concerning how the voters will react if he is jailed for committing a misdemeanor. It’s obvious that the Biden reelection campaign is relying on lawfare to drive down Trump’s support.

According to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll, black voters’ desire to vote in the 2024 general election has fallen off since 2020, which could be worrisome for President Joe Biden. The poll found that 62% of black voters said they were “absolutely certain to vote,” which is down from 74% who said they were certain to vote in June 2020. The Biden campaign recently announced it would spend $25 million trying to reach key demographics of voters in battleground states in what some have called “the largest and earliest investment in Black media for a reelection campaign in history.”

During the two months since President Biden delivered his State of the Union address, a wide variety of legacy news outlets have been at pains to portray an infinitesimal improvement in his polling as a shift of momentum in the presidential race. Last week, for example, USA Today breathlessly reported that “Trump and Biden are ‘darn near even’ in the 2024 election.” If this was meant to provide moral sustenance for worried Democrats it was thin gruel indeed. Biden is an incumbent president struggling to keep up with a challenger most of whose time and money has been devoted to fighting off a ruthless lawfare campaign.

Barack Obama has lost his mojo and ruined his brand. It used to be said that President Joe Biden was serving former President Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House. The feeling was that Obama was the real leader of the Democratic Party and his wife, Michelle, was the secret weapon they would whip out in 2024 to replace Biden and trounce Donald Trump.

Glaude said, “I don’t know what it’s going to take for the American people, for 78 million Americans to deal with what motivated them to make the choice to elect this man again, to make the choice will allow these people to undermine every fundamental assumption we have.” He continued, “The choice that they’ve made, we have to just be honest, is to literally throw the republican to the trash bin.” Glaude added, “We chose a felon

The Trump administration will be allowed to resume deporting suspected Venezuelan gangbangers under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act after the Supreme Court on Monday lifted a lower court order that blocked the deportations. DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg had blocked President Trump from invoking the rarely used wartime law last month, and later extended his temporary restraining order until at least April 12. The Trump administration filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court to review Boasberg’s pause on March 28, after a divided three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a request to lift the stay as litigation plays out.

Qatar's Muslim 'Scholars' Call For Death

The last thing the Palestinians need are more calls from Qatar-based extremist for terrorism and jihad. If these Muslim "scholars" really want to help their Palestinian brothers, they should be calling on Hamas to release all the Israeli hostages they kidnapped, then to disarm, and then to stop pursuing the disastrous path of terrorism and jihad. The "scholars" leading the IUMS live safely in Qatar, not in the Gaza Strip, and they are therefore not directly affected by the war that Hamas launched. That such a call by an influential Islamic group comes from an organization based in Doha illustrates why Qatar c

The federal judge who blocked the Trump administration's use of a 1798 wartime law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals canceled a planned Tuesday court hearing to review the case after the Supreme Court handed a win to the president. In a minute order published Tuesday morning, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg announced that the previously scheduled Tuesday afternoon hearing would be vacated in light of the high court's ruling, which determined, among other things, that the "appropriate venue for such proceedings is the Southern District of Texas," or wherever plaintiffs that are subject to potential removal are currently being held.

President Trump stood by his wide-scale tariffs, calling them a “beautiful thing to behold” that will eventually be largely supported even as the stock futures dropped Sunday evening. “They are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold. The Surplus with these Countries has grown during the ‘Presidency’ of Sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump blasted out on Truth Social Sunday night as he attempted to justify the action he took against around 90 nations last week. “We are going to reverse it, and reverse it QUICKLY. Some day people will realize that Tariffs, for the United States of America, are a very beautiful thing!”
