MSNBC's Ruhle: Why Isn't Biden Getting Credit for His 'Big Wins'?
Newsbusters ^ | March 29, 2022 | Kevin Tober

On Monday night's The 11th Hour on MSNBC, after reading some of the key findings of the new NBC poll showing Biden's approval ratings sinking, host Stephanie Ruhle seemed stumped as to why President Joe Biden isn't getting credit for what she describes as his "big wins." 

Ruhle started the segment by reading from an NBC News story on Biden's approval numbers: "the next headline sounds alarming. Quote, 'Biden's job approval falls to the lowest level of his presidency, amid war, and inflation fears,'" Ruhle announced before lecturing middle-class Americans on why they should be thanking Biden despite not being able to afford gas or groceries because of rising inflation:

But, let's add a little context to those fears. Let's bring in some facts. The United States is already sending billions in military, and economic support, to Ukraine. And there is every indication economic sanctions are strangling the Russian economy. Right now, NATO is as unified as it has ever been. And while inflation here at home is still a big problem, jobless rates are the lowest that they have been in more than 50 years, and the American people recover from COVID-19, so does our economy. 

But, that is not translating to the American voter. A new NBC poll finds many Americans are still skeptical of Biden's ability to, properly, respond to the crisis in Ukraine. Just 28 percent say they have a great deal, or quite a bit, of confidence. Biden's general approval rating is not much better. 40 percent of those questioned, say they approve of his performance. 55 percent say they disapprove.

Ruhle then turned to former Republican turned Biden-loving Democrat Charlie Sykes of The Bulwark to demand an answer for why Biden isn't "reaping the benefits in the polls", proclaiming "these are big wins!"

The question is, is she really this stupid, or does her job require her to mindlessly shill for Biden?

At his age uncontrolled big wind is certainly probable.

Can these big wins perhaps be given some shape, substance, and description? I’d love to be aware of some?

Destroying the country. That’s always a solid win for Demonrats. Everything they touch turns to $hit and they consider that fan-effing-tastic.

I would suggest that has more to do with Vladimir Putin, than with any Joe Biden has done.

We can’t because they all get walked back. Anything he says or does is not to be believed by his own admission of his false statements.

“ Right now, NATO is as unified as it has ever been.”

Who gives a s**t if a corrupt bloated bureaucracy is unified?

After deceiving the public for years, Stephanie Ruhle appears stumped on why America doesn’t buy their lies anymore.

Ah, but it’s only because of Joe Biden’s weakness that Vladimir Putin is invading, and NATO is uniting.

He will get the dumbest, most radical judge yet on the Supreme Court shortly, so there’s that . . .

I give him all kind of credit for his “Big Winds”

He’s a “breaking wind” records monster

I’d say his one big win was the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Mostly a progressive boondoggle that took advantage of the expiring transportation bill to force a deal with 19 republican Senators. That’s a win.

There are no other wins. The ARPA was the source of most of his inflation problems, hard to call something a win under those circumstances. Yes the economy is “strong” but it’s too strong and thus a recession is likely to be the result of the Fed tightening and the energy price escalation.

I am hard pressed to think of any other legislation he’s gotten passed. The BBB thank goodness was torpedoed by Manchin and 50 Republicans.

Pedo Joe is getting credit for all his big wins. Also for the unicorns. There aren’t any of either.
