Can Biden make a comeback? What history teaches us (and doesn't)

August was a cruel month for President Biden. The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was messy, while here at home the Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report was far below expectations. Cases of COVID-19 hit the 40 million mark, and more than 650,000 people have died of the virus. A Washington Post/ABC News poll found Biden’s disapproval rating rising to 51 percent, up from 42 percent in April.

Afghanistan has certainly contributed to Biden’s downward slide, with 60 percent of Americans disliking how he handled the withdrawal. Biden also experienced serious erosion on two other key concerns. Since April, approval of his economic management has fallen seven points to 45 percent, while support for his handling of the pandemic has plunged 12 points to 52 percent.

No because the Biden Democrats are doubling down on failed policies. If they wanted to recovery they would have to switch gears not do much more of the same.

Clinton changed gears and became GOP lite for the last 6 years of his Presidency. It was the GOP Congress that saved him. They did all the heavy lifting while the Fake News gave Clinton all the credit.

The Biden Democrat are far to arrogantly fanatical to admit, and learn, from their errors.

A better question might be, “If we throw a stick, will he go away?”

“Can Biden make a comeback? What history teaches us (and doesn’t)”

hmmmm ... i guess it depends upon whether history has recorded enough reins of literally brain-dead national leaders history in order to draw any conclusions ... i imagine the outcomes won’t have an optimistic trend ...
