Biden’s optimism collides with mounting political challenges

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are going to hold onto the House after November’s midterm elections. They will pick up as many as four seats in the Senate, expanding their majority and overcoming internal dissent that has helped stifle their agenda.

As the challenges confronting President Joe Biden intensify, his predictions of a rosy political future for the Democratic Party are growing bolder. The assessments, delivered in speeches, fundraisers and conversations with friends and allies, seem at odds with a country that he acknowledged this week was “really, really down,” burdened by a pandemic, surging gas prices and spiking inflation.

Biden’s hopeful outlook tracks with a sense of optimism that has coursed through his nearly five-decade career and was at the center of his 2020 presidential campaign, which he said was built around restoring the “soul of America.” In a lengthy Oval Office interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, Biden said part of his job as president is to “be confident.”

“Because I am confident,” he said. “We are better positioned than any country in the world to own the second quarter of the 21st century. That’s not hyperbole. That’s a fact.”

Take yer pick. More than one answer may be correct.

Biden’s election predictions show:

A. his sunny optimism.
B. that he is clueless.
C. that he knows the fix is in.

Oh yes. The average memory care facility is jammed packed with the same kind of “optimism”.

Biden’s entire political career has been spent following Loony Left policies, taking credit when things go good, and blaming political enemies when things go bad. He’s so lacking intellect that he even believes his own lies. Now, on top of that, he’s becoming more and more senile - even less ‘lacking intellect’.

His Loony Left policies are destroying the US, and he believes he’s only doing good. This simply can’t last for another two and a half years. The solution is simple, though difficult: take over the House, and gain a veto proof majority in the Senate. It must become our strategy.

Not optimism, dementia. Brandon is content as long as someone gives him ice cream and wipes his butt.

These controversial claims are baseless, unfounded, and unsubstantiated. This is sweeping and systemic disinformation. These claims have been debunked, refuted, and completely put to rest. No credible evidence exists to support these shakey assertions, and numerous fact-checkers have marked these allegations as FALSE. Based on the reports of these fact-checkers alone, there is no further need to investigate these outlandish claims. They have been thoroughly discredited and contradicted. Continuing to push these far-fetched conspiracies, in the form of Russian lies, is sedition.

A tag team of AP fluffers.

I keep seeing articles by liberals in the media talking about how dimocrap bad policies and poor performance ends in bad results and impacts the America people, but how it affects their election chances.

These commie SOB’s would never write a headline for Trump or any Republican that looked anything like that. Then looking at the article. What a joke.

Differing opinions? Can't have any of that, comrade.
