POLITICO Playbook: Why Dems are struggling with Biden
Politico ^ | 7/01/22 | Eugene Daniels, Ryan Lizza

Posted on 07/01/2022 3:58:22 PM PDT by Libloather

If you want to get a full sense of why so many Democrats seem to be frustrated with President JOE BIDEN at the moment, here’s one piece you need to read: “Is Biden a Man Out of Time?” by The Atlantic’s Ronald Brownstein.

Whether the specific issue is abortion rights, court reform, voting rights, the filibuster, or the DOJ’s investigation into DONALD TRUMP’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, “[m]any Democrats share a sense that … Biden and his team have been following, not leading. And that tendency points to an enduring question about Biden, who was first elected to the Senate in 1972 and was shaped by a clubbier, more cooperative Washington. Can he be the inspirational leader his party needs to counter the aggressive moves by Republicans in Congress and in the states, together with their appointees on the Supreme Court, to reverse long-held civil rights and even threaten democracy itself?”

**SNIP**

DEMS’ NEW 2022 STRATEGY - Democrats are readying a new approach to try to save their House majority - one that unites two topics currently riveting Washington: (1) the Jan. 6 insurrection, and (2) the overturning of Roe. “The heart of the approach: calling out GOP candidates’ most hard-line positions on multiple issues,” Sarah Ferris reports. “Take, for example, the Republican hopeful who recently suggested rape victims were less likely to get pregnant. Or the Republican who’s defended the far-right...

**SNIP**

But, but, but: “Privately, few Democrats believe the strategy is enough to hold the House against this year’s brutal headwinds, even with the nation’s focus briefly turned from inflation to abortion, guns and the GOP’s role in the Capitol riot,” Sarah writes. “And using ‘MAGA’ as a label, as President Joe Biden himself has found, runs the risk of emboldening Trump’s base to turn out.”

POLITICO Playbook: Why Dems are struggling with Biden

Politico is very concerned, is trying hard to understand this troubling situation.

It’ll be worst now that Biden announced his Liberal World Order

So - dwelling on a past event that has nothing to do with the upcoming election, and killing babies. That’s their message.

Not hard .... Slow Joe has always been dim witted and that is now compounded with his senility and Obama and crew pulling the Muppet strings.

This article reads like the author is giving Biden and dims a vigorous “Lewinsky”. Polutico is such a joke.

It’s the party of LIFE v. the party of DEATH.

Rs protect life, Ds do not. I would expect to hear this more, if Ds plan on using abortion as a campaign strategy

Could you defend your penchants for killing a baby just before birth, for CONVENIENCE sake. My God, you’re a bunch of sick human beings.

The Dems can’t REALLY be that confused about this... the last Dem who was actually a leader was Clinton. Dems don’t elect leaders.

Well, leaders are hard to find, on both sides. Not sure I would call Trump a leader... although he sure kept faith with his followers. You gotta hand it to him for that. No, sorry, I know this is going to piss everybody off, but a leader wouldn’t tear the Republican party to pieces the way Trump is doing. Not that it seems to be helping Biden any...

...ut a leader wouldn’t tear the Republican party to pieces the way Trump is doing.

I don't see it that way, simply because it isn't true.

What Trump did was EXPOSE the RINOs, who talk conservative, but gladly let the democrats rule the USA and subvert our children and culture.

We Republican rank and file voted Trump into the nomination.

They've essentially have been fighting US since.

They're are the ones who are truly tearing the Republican party into pieces.

A handful of Democrats do care about it, but fortunately, most of the rest of the country is more fixated on the cost of food, gasoline, and Rx meds.
