Democrats hoped that Republican defections from President Donald Trump would help former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, but an article in The Nation observes that Trump is consolidating support, even from “Biden Republicans.”
National affairs correspondent Jeet Heer noted in an article titled “Biden Republicans Are a Political Illusion”:
In late August, Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff under President Barack Obama as well as onetime mayor of Chicago, declared, “This will be the year of the Biden Republican.
To that end, much of the Democratic National Convention was tailored to please Republicans more than Democrats, with plenty of speeches by past and present Republicans like Colin Powell, Michael Bloomberg, John Kasich, and Cindy McCain. Progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were marginalized.
This stood in contrast to the Republican convention, which was aimed not at outreach but at bolstering the party’s Trumpist identity, with all the adult children of the president speaking.
Enough time has gone by since the convention that we can safely say that the Republican message was more successful.
Trump is succeeding in consolidating Republican support behind him, while the Democratic pitch to Republican voters hasn’t gained any traction. Republicans who are skeptical of Trump are returning to the fold, while Democrats aren’t winning new converts

“Biden Republicans”? More like Never Trumpers.
Was that guy’s dad a mailman?
“not at outreach” ? Sure the kids were there disputing the image of their dad, but there was an abundance of outreach.
It was a huge insult to Dems to have all those Quisling Republicans speaking at their convention.
The Democrats are just now figuring out what we all knew 4 years ago. The “never Trump” faction were just a bunch of blowhards in the party establishment who had no support among actual Americans. They were exactly what we were voting against.
Ugh! Surprised he hasn’t taken off a couple of his own fingers by now.
The DemoNaziCOmmie party’s Threatening voters with the DNC Street Gangs and more of all their violence
turns out to be not a winning election strategy for the Biden-Ineligible ticket
He eats like the son of a mailman.
“Biden Democrat” is a snow job (gaslight if you wish) trying to pervert and steal the “Reagan Democrat” line.
From the article: “To that end, much of the Democratic National Convention was tailored to please Republicans more than Democrats, with plenty of speeches by past and present Republicans like Colin Powell, Michael Bloomberg, John Kasich, and Cindy McCain. Progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were marginalized.”
That’s leftist for “the Dems, after a 3.5 year temper tantrum, a plandemic coordinated with the PRC, and months of overt support for violent insurrection, tried to put on their ‘moderate’ face for four days.”
“The “never Trump” faction were just a bunch of blowhards in the party establishment who had no support among actual Americans. They were exactly what we were voting against.”
The above is absolutely true. And, worth repeating. Again and again.
Gatekeepers for the NWO are losing.
They see it.
Sorry......Loosing
The Demo-rats are trapped with a presidential candidate who 50% of the country thinks has cognitive issues and 70% believe will not be able to finish his first term in office. Meanwhile, his replacement Harris is a proven incompetent as a campaigner and a textbook opportunist on core issues.

“Republicans who are skeptical of Trump are returning to the fold, while Democrats aren’t winning new converts...”
Yep. Watching Socialist Democrat towns and cities being burned to the ground just might do that! Keeping us CAPTORS in our own homes FOR NO REASON, just night do that! Destroying our livelihoods, businesses and not letting us bury our dead or attend church services just might do that!
Nice try, Socialist Democrats. Big, BIG miscalculation! But, by all means, continue to double-down on STUPID!
The rest of us that live in The Real World are PRAYING for your party’s demise!
I want them ground to DUST on November! And also, ‘that thing’ that Moses said about their names being struck from the record as if they never existed.
But I’m mean that way. Like a Junkyard Dawg! ;)
This is shocking in a way. All these polls show Biden is comfortably in the lead. So why this concern that Democrats are voting for Trump?
Not a very powerful argument considering not one real Republican is listed. Oh, let's not forget, John Kasich father was a mailman.
