Op-Ed: Biden Voters Took Trump's Economy for Granted, Now We're on the Brink of Ruin - Republicans Need to Fix It
Western Journal ^ | June 15, 2022 at 3:31pm | Harrison Rogers

Americans are fed up.

With President Joe Biden’s approval rating hitting new lows, consumer confidence is plummeting along with it. Optimism is as scarce as cheap gas.

According to the Rasmussen Reports economic index, U.S. economic confidence hovers around 88 points, the lowest mark in eight years. Under former President Donald Trump and before the coronavirus pandemic (in January 2020), the same index clocked in at nearly 148 points. In other words, Americans were nearly twice as optimistic about the Trump economy as they are today.

It’s no secret: America’s endless problems — especially inflation — suggest Republicans will make historic gains in November. But problems can’t just be mentioned; they need to be solved.

American voters want measurable results from Washington, D.C., not meaningless rhetoric. Leading up to the 2022 midterms, it is incumbent on Republicans to hear out the frustrations of struggling families and propose policies that address them. Those politicians who continue delivering empty slogans instead of actual solutions will be back in the private sector come November.

I’ve been in the private sector my entire life. As a business owner, I can’t ignore my customers or dodge their requests with non-answers. If I dismiss them, I will go out of business. It’s a zero-sum game — you either satisfy your customers and succeed, or your ignorance and dismissal lead to failure.

Over the decades, Washington, D.C., has lacked the same level of accountability. A politician can play the role of endless campaigner, hopping from slogan to slogan every two or four years, then rinsing and repeating.

Career politicians like Biden lament “the system” being broken, yet they’ve shaped the entire system since the New York Knicks won their last NBA championship. In 1972, then-President Richard Nixon had just begun the “War on Drugs.”

Welcome to the “Green New Deal”. You don’t see it in front of you because the democrats are giving it to you from behind.

Biden, AKA : POTATO ONE was always about dismantling and destroying the USA. To break down the population by applying obama policy to the point where people would scream for the gubbamint to “step in and save them”.

Let’s hope we can actually win enough seats this November to hold them off from driving us over the cliff.

Too damn late. We waited around for uniparty elections all the time and now it is too late.

Republicans can’t fix anything. They have no principles, no agenda and no will to do much of anything.

If they win back the house (in spite of themselves) there will be little to cheer about. The same old leadership (excuse machine) will still be in place.

*************

You are absolutely right about Biden IMO. I think he wants to show that he can “out do” Obama in terms of systematically debilitating the country. It’s a form of ‘payback’ for Joe being dissed for eight years by Team Obama. He’s basically saying to them “See, you guys were wrong about me and I did more than you did. I’ll be standing at the finish line you failed to reach.”

Say what you will about Biden’s mental and physical state, so far he’s managed to carry out the Far Left’s agenda quite “successfully”. He did exactly what he wanted to do.

“Americans are fed up”.

If the Rats steal the midterms to the obvious extent that they keep the House and Senate, how “fed up” will people be?

Absolutely correct! But the only way to "fix" it is to remove most dems from office.

“Op-Ed: Biden Voters Took Trump’s Economy for Granted, Now We’re on the Brink of Ruin - Republicans Need to Fix It”

Correction:

Op-Ed: Biden Voters Took Trump’s Economy for Granted, Now We’re on the Brink of Ruin - TRUMP Needs to Fix It.

Either by becoming SPEAKER or ruling over the new REPUBLICAN Congress with an iron fist. (No separation of powers on a private citizen).

Remember how Trump got Roe v Wade overturned by appointing pro LIFE justices? Well he has/is doing the same thing with Congress. Supporting MAGA candidates (who are WINNING).

Biden is being told what to do. You think he has a clue?

There wasn’t that many biden voters to begin with. I am guessing there was maybe 50 million fools that would vote for the devil if he was a democrat.

Liberals are incapable of seeing the connection. Nothing is ever their fault.
