Biden Is Politically Dead, and Yet He Still Beats Donald Trump in the Polls (Barf alert)
National Review ^ | 12th July 2022 | CHARLES C. W. COOKE

Posted on 07/12/2022 7:49:57 AM PDT by Ennis85

On the homepage today, Rich writes that “for the good of the country, Biden shouldn’t run again.”

The same is true of Donald Trump.

In my view, there are many, many reasons for this — not least that Trump permanently disqualified himself from consideration with his behavior after the 2020 election. But, whether or not you agree with me about that, you can surely grasp that, as a political matter, Donald Trump is a spent force?

Yesterday’s New York Times poll sent shockwaves through the political world. It found that President Biden’s approval rating is at 33 percent; that “more than two-thirds of independents also now disapprove of the president’s performance”; that “more than three-quarters of registered voters see the United States moving in the wrong direction”; that “only 13 percent of American voters said the nation was on the right track”; and that “94 percent of Democrats under the age of 30 said they would prefer a different presidential nominee.” This is disastrous.

And yet:

One glimmer of good news for Mr. Biden is that the survey showed him with a narrow edge in a hypothetical rematch in 2024 with former President Donald J. Trump: 44 percent to 41 percent.

That’s right. Joe Biden is on political death row. And yet, in the same poll that has delivered his death warrant, he still beats Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. If Republican primary voters look at this information and decide to nominate Trump again anyway, they will have nobody to blame for the consequences but themselves.

How far the once respected National Review has fallen. They have become a parody magazine.

Odd, because the latest Harris poll has Trump beating Biden by 3 points, and Emerson College poll has Trump beating Biden by 5.

CHARLES C. W. COOKE ..... I met this pot-bellied facial Anus in 1996 at the Bob Dole GOP wing-ding in San Diego.

I felt sad for American politics ever since.

I think they’re assuming the polls are stolen, just like the election was.

Politicly dead, Trump? I don’t think these people come out of their houses. My God ,Trump is a giant in my area and the people are ready to go to war for him. If the 2024 vote is legit. It will be the biggest Trump victory yet ,even bigger then his first two.

I made the mistake of going on one of their cruises back when they were conservative. Sat at the dinner table with John Derbyshire, Keven Williamson and the late Andrew Breitbart. The dinner with Breitbart may have been worth it.

Dream on. Joe Bidet did not beat President Trump in 2020, and without massive voter fraud, he could not do it in 2024 and everyone knows it.

So NR is basically bringing the argument that more people are interested in playing with their genitals than keeping a job and a roof over their heads.

Well folks, you really need to think before you sneer. There really could be more people who would rather poke their weenies in all kinds of interesting places, surrounded by zombies on flakka, than actually get up, go to work, and pay bills.

Seriously.
