Dowd: Afghanistan Will ‘Absolutely Not’ Be an Issue for Midterms, Biden Reelection
Breitbart ^ | 08/17/2021 | Jeff Poor

The perceived Biden administration’s lackluster handling of the collapse of the U.S.-aligned Afghanistan regime is expected by many to have political implications for President Joe Biden and Democrats.

However, don’t expect any of them to be long-lasting implications, according to former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd.

I don’t know how it can not be an issue in mid-terms, at least for some people. It can only be a draw down, I can’t see any possible upside to voting.

Dowd is one of those beltway sellouts, always ready to do the media’s business regardless.

At first I thought this was MAUREEN Dowd and was going to note the rules. Then I saw it was MATTHEW Dowd and said "what the heck!"

Dowd wants to be invited back to CNN. He likes hanging out with the cool kids. So he’ll say whatever they want to hear. Heck, he’d get on all fours and bark like a dog if that’s what it takes.

Perhaps not, the list is already too long with inflation, skyrocketing gas, open borders, covid mismanagement, to influence voters who already made up their minds that having a demented President wasn’t such a good idea.

"Former Bush campaign strategist?? That is all I need to know."

Sadly, she is probably correct. American attention spans are short, gimmedats are getting their dats, and never underestimate the Republicans ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sent to deflect any criticism for getting involved in the first place.

Cabal takes care of each other

Each have their CYA role. Politicians current and past, media, agencies, politicized commanders in military.

Wanna bet? If footage exists on a server somewhere, it will be an issue. Especially if SloJoe can’t get the troops and 10k US citizens out in time. This will be Benghazi II on steroids.

As long as enough fraud can be perpetrated, there are unlikely ANY actions or lack of, that will affect democrats re-election. But I hope she’s wrong...
