Joe Biden Doesn’t Know What You’re Talking About
NRO ^ | 22 Jan 2022 | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 01/22/2022 8:55:48 AM PST by Rummyfan

President Biden begins his second year in office with a 42 percent average job-approval rating. Republicans hold a one-point lead over Democrats in the congressional generic ballot (and the generic-ballot question often underestimates GOP support). The Gallup organization reports that in the final quarter of 2021 Republicans took a five-point lead in party identification for the first time since 1995. As of this writing, 28 House Democrats have announced their retirements, with more expected to follow. Biden’s agenda is stalled in Congress, the Supreme Court blocked his employer vaccine mandate, the coronavirus pandemic continues, and inflation is higher than at any point in the last 39 years. The country — not to mention the president — could use a reset.

We’re not getting one. Instead, on January 19, we got Biden’s combative, discursive, and delusional mess of a one-hour-and-51-minute press conference. Among the reasons the occasion was notable — and notorious — was that it forced the White House to clarify later Biden’s comments on not one but two issues: Biden’s ambiguity over America’s response if Russia launches a “minor incursion” into Ukraine, and Biden’s repeated assertion that the Senate’s failure to pass his election-takeover bills throws the legitimacy of the midterm elections into doubt. To watch Biden at the lectern was to experience shock and dismay interspersed with moments of alarm and dark humor. No wonder he hides from the media. It was the worst presidential press conference since Donald Trump stood next to Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018.

So is Gallup skewed or are there that many crypto conservatives or both?

Cuz, the question for any inquisitive individual [which excludes all leftists and all journalists - to be redundant] is, how do we keep getting house and senate majorities of republicans if that is the case?

NRO vastly differs with other polls. They say 42% approval, while several are in the low 30’s. That is why polls are BS anyway. Find a poll that agrees with what you think. That seems logical, doesn’t it? NRO has distinguished itself as non-factual Trump haters.

Of course it was.

NRO has ZERO credibility due to its Never Trump GOPE weasels sticking the shiv in the back in conservatives for the past 4 years.

NRO and National Review- You own this CF- You need to admit to this before you are ever again considered as credible

Looking forward to National Review following Weekly Standard into irrelevance.

Over the next weeks I’m watching for the realization among the public at large that he is severely cognitively impaired after that word salad fiasco the other day.

His handlers are certainly never allowing anything like that again. And I mean he will never speak in public again.

A year and a half ago he was able to, with an enormous amount of help and some very special formulations, I imagine,to debate trump. Or to grandstand with pre-known questions

Now he can’t be coherent with groveling lapdog pre sorted press reps asking him questions to which he’d practiced the answers extensively

Whatever was working isn’t working now. He is deteriorating at a fast pace -an accelerated pace-but at a time when his administration and their partners want to take over the freedoms of the populace. Of the world.

There are ove 2 dozen anti mandates planned tomorrow throughout the cities of the US, Europe, South America and this demented guy’s in charge of what they’re opposing

That is why polls are BS anyway.

Do more or less normal, self-sufficient people answer pollsters? I think not.

The trick is to figure out what the systematic bias is of those that do. Throw in every pollster's "special sauce" adjustment to compensate for their last guess at electorate composition, and you've got a recipe for uncertainty.

Finally, Biden said, “We’re going to be out there making sure that we’re helping all those candidates.” No doubt. I, for one, can think of many candidates whom Biden is helping. They are all Republicans.

LOL! No Dem running for re-election wants Biden anywhere near them.

NRO. Pshaw.

“ I’ll bet he doesn’t even know he’s president.”

People will start realizing that over the next weeks. It’s very bad.

Yes. That is positively clear. But what we conservatives should not lose sight of is his LONG STANDING history of racism, perversion and penchant for fondling little girls and boys, leftist arrogance, idiocy of leftist ideals in his decades of Senatorial aegis.

We (a normal, decent collective ‘we’) wouldn’t let a senile, grossly mentally deficient Hitler off with a “he’s just an old decrepit old man,” so Biden shouldn’t be given anything but the fiercest repudiation possible now.

What’re you complaining about, NR? Because you hated Trump, you wanted Biden in office, and you got that.

28 House Democrats have announced their retirements.

Someone must have seen the books around the world vacations to ensue?.

As I said, if polls make one comfortable, then the trick is to find one that agrees with your position, if it makes you feel better about yourself. I am sure that If I spent 15 minutes looking, I could find a poll that says that 60% of the people think that Biden is doing a fine job. The one thing that Biden said in his appearance was that he didn’t believe in polls.
